Patricia's gaze lingered on her arm, looking at the bandage he had applied. She bit her lip slightly, her
fingers gently brushing the bandage, as if she could still feel his warmth.
After Ellar left, he let out a long sigh, soothingly patting his chest. It seemed to help a bit. For some
reason, he had felt an intense panic, as if he was on the verge of losing control over himself.
"All those grand statements are just lies we tell ourselves," Ellar muttered, shaking his head.
There was a moment when he truly wanted to take Patricia away, to leave everything behind, but he
knew he couldn't.
"What are you mumbling about by yourself?" Lulu's voice interrupted his thoughts.
Ellar snapped back to reality, turning to see Lulu, "Nothing, I was just about to head back to BayCorp."
"Nothing?" Lulu raised an eyebrow slightly. "I heard something, though." "Really, it was nothing. I was
just thinking over this project. That's all," Ellar stubbornly insisted, refusing to admit anything.
Lulu rolled her eyes at Ellar, sighing, "It seems you've really decided to give up. As long as you have no
regrets."
Although she hadn't caught exactly what Ell ar was mumbling about, she was sure it wasn't work-
related but something to do with Patricia.
Eliar felt a sour twist in his heart but dared not show it, managing only a feigned smile. "I've got work to
do on my end, so I'll be off."
Lulu shook her head at his evasion.
Watching Ellar leave, Lulu then made her way to Nicole's office.
"He's gone?" Nicole asked Lulu, having overheard their conversation.
"Yes, he stopped by Patricia’s office and has now left," Lulu confirmed, approaching Nicole’s desk. Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.
Nicole's gaze darkened slightly, aware that Ellar still couldn't let go of Patricia. However, understanding
Patricia's determination, she chose not to comment further.
"Sigh, what do you think will happen to Everett if his attempt on BayCorp fails?" Lulu shifted the
conversation. She had come to Nicole specifically for this matter but ran into Ellar in the hallway and
noticed his odd behavior, which prompted a few additional questions.
A chill flashed through Nicole's eyes as she said meaningfully, 'He'll only escalate his efforts." "So, he'll
become even more reckless!" Lulu's face turned a shade paler.
"It doesn't matter. I want to see what he really intends to do, and what he can do," Nicole scoffed coldly.
At this point, Everett was in the open while they operated in the shadows, so she wasn't overly worried.
"Should we make preparations in advance?" Lulu asked quietly.
Being prepared never hurt, after all.
Nicole bit her lip, considering for a moment before responding, "Indeed, we should strategize." "What
do you need me to do?" Lulu's eyes widened with eagerness.
Nicole couldn't help but smile wryly, shaking her head, "Give me a moment to think." "Alright, I'll get
back to my work then. Just call me if you need anything," Lulu said cheerfully, scratching her head.
"Sure, go ahead," Nicole responded with a light smile.
As Lulu left, Nicole leaned back, deep in thought. 'Everett's clearly trying to weaken Riddle Corporation,
believing his plan against BayCorp will work eventually. This means it won't take long for him to initiate
other actions...'
