"Leave it," Nicole told the secretary, her eyes fixed on the door. 'Wasn't that Patricia just now? So she
must have heard what Ellar said.'
Once the secretary left, Nicole turned to Ellar and asked, "Are you really giving up? Don't you want to
give it another shot?"
Ellar shook his head. "It's not that I don't want to fight, but I can't. If this is Patricia's decision, I don't
want to complicate things for her. I just want her to be happy."
Nicole sighed, saying, “Forget it. Sort it out yourself." She figured if Patricia didn't explain, there wasn't
much to say. She'd let Ellar figure things out on his own.
"What do you mean?" Ellar asked, a bit puzzled.
Nicole didn't elaborate. She simply looked at Ellar and said, "You should go back to BayCorp." "Okay."
Ellar checked the time and agreed, "Sure, I won't keep you from your work." "If you're really set on this
decision, change your current life. If you're unsure, then figure it out yourself,’ Nicole advised before
letting him go.

Outside Riddle Corporation, Ell ar sat in the car but didn’t tell the chauffeur to move. Leaning back, he
stared at the gate, deep in thought.
He sensed there might be more to Nicole's words, but after careful thought, it seemed like there wasn't
anything extraordinary. Unable to unravel it, Ellar sighed and muttered to himself, "Let's go."
The car started, and El la r drove off, unaware of a slender figure appearing in the lobby.Patricia watched him leave, a mix of bitterness and heaviness in her heart. She had heard what he said
to Nicole and initially thought to encourage him to give up. However, witnessing his desolate departure,
she couldn't find the words.
Touching her own cheek, Patricia bit her lip, then turned and walked toward the elevator.
Upstairs, Patricia entered Nicole's office and updated her, "Ms. Riddle, the project is on track now.
novelbinWe're just waiting for the raw materials to arrive. Once that happens, everything should be sorted."
Nicole nodded. "Okay, keep an eye on it."
Observing Patricia sticking to work, Nicole refrained from asking about personal matters. She felt it was
best left unsaid for now.
However, Nicole couldn't help but notice that Patricia seemed to be dealing with her own struggles,
possibly linked to Ellar.
Nicole advised, "Considering the situation, they might be watchful, so be cautious." "I get it," Patricia
cautiously responded. She understood Nicole's implication; if Everett decided to cause trouble, they
wouldn't let it slide easily.
"Alright, carry on with your work," Nicole nodded.
"Sure." Patricia acknowledged and exited the office.
Returning her attention to the files, Nicole shook her head lightly, immersing herself in work once more.
At lunchtime, Lulu came to find Nicole.
"Patricia still not joining US today?" Nicole asked."Nah, she's already out. Said she's got something to deal with," Lulu answered.
Nicole stood up. "Alright, let's go."
She thought Patricia might be handling things for the shipment; the dock needed someone overseeing
it. Together, Lulu and Nicole left the office and headed to the restaurant across the street.
