Chapter 3126Chapter 3126
Patricia bit her lip, her eyes narrowing slightly. Doretta didn't often come to Ellar's company; she spent
more time at home. Patricia wondered, 'So, to figure out what Doretta's up to, do I have to go visit
Ellar's place?' The thought of going to Ellar's house made Patricia hesitate.
"Never mind, let's see. It might be better if El I ar arranges for Doretta to be at BayCorp. That way, it
would be easier to keep an eye on her." Speaking to herself, Patricia then dialed Nicole's number.
"Ms. Riddle../ Patricia began to share her thoughts with Nicole.
There was silence on the line, and Nicole didn't immediately respond, making Patricia even more
uncertain, wondering if Nicole disagreed with her suggestion.
Nicole finally spoke, "Even if Doretta comes to the company, she won't stay there all the time. She'll still
go back home in the evening.
"This way, she can keep tabs on the household and have the opportunity to get involved with the
company’s affairs, which could be more disadvantageous for US."
novelbin"Okay, I understand now." Patricia felt a bit frustrated with herself for not considering that aspect.
"Don't worry too much. Even if she intends to do something, she won't act immediately. She needs to
gain Emma's absolute trust first," Nicole reassured. She felt that otherwise, even if Doretta succeeded,
it would be difficult for her to come out unscathed.
Patricia figured that even if Doretta compromised for some reason and agreed to cooperate with the
Eastern Falcon, she would likely consider her own safety first.
"I understand," Patricia said."Alright, let's leave it at that for now," Nicole said, ending the call.
Patricia took a deep breath, calming herself down and returning to her usual composed demeanor. She
then picked up the documents beside her.
On the other end of the phone, Nicole put away her phone and started thinking deeply.
Lulu entered the room and, noticing Nicole lost in thought, couldn't resist asking, "What's wrong?"
Nicole refocused and looked at Lulu, replying, "It's about Doretta..."
After Nicole shared the content of her recent phone call, Lulu shrugged and said, "Why not just have
Patricia go to Ellar's house too? That would kill two birds with one stone."
Nicole frowned. "I was just thinking about that, but..." She paused, considering the potential
awkwardness for Patricia, so she hadn't fully decided yet.
Understanding Nicole's hesitation, Lulu blinked and said, "I get your concern, but I think Patricia is
professional enough to agree."
Lulu knew Nicole didn't want to make Patricia uncomfortable. However, she felt that, apart from the
mission, Patricia and Ellar’s relationship might need a push, and Doretta could be just that. Otherwise,
given Patricia's personality, Patricia might miss her chance with Ellar.
Doing it this way could not only get the job done but also bring Ell ar and Patricia together, so Lulu
thought, 'Why not go for it?'
After pondering for a moment, Nicole said, "Let's leave it up to Patricia to decide."
Lulu was confused. "How? We haven't even told Patricia anything."But Nicole understood. She knew Patricia had called because she was already thinking about it but
was having trouble deciding. That' was why Patricia suggested having Doretta work at Ellar's company.
With a slight smile, Nicole looked at Lulu and said, "I know you're concerned, but let's not worry about
Patricia's matters. Instead, let's talk about you."
"Me?" Lulu was confused. "What about me?"
"With Patricia gone, your workload will increase. Have you considered getting an assistant?” Nicole
asked.
"Oh, that's what you mean. Don't worry, I can handle it," Lulu chuckled.
Even though she knew her workload might get a bit heavier, she felt sure she could handle it. So, she
decided there was no need to consider getting an assistant at the moment.
