Chapter 3047Chapter 3047
The proposal seemed perfect at first glance, but its perfection was what made it suspicious.
Nicole thought, 'Let's wait for Lulu's investigation. In times like these, being cautious is always wise.'
After leaving Nicole's office, Ellar went straight to find Patricia.
"Do you need something?" Patricia asked, maintaining a professional calm.
"What happened to your arm?" Ellar pressed, concerned, wondering, 'How can she get hurt doing
office work?' "It's nothing," Patricia instinctively moved her arm under the table, trying to keep it hidden.
Ellar moved closer to Patricia, giving her a look. "Hey, Patricia, don't stress.
I tried to stay away so you could have a chill and happy life without me."
"I'm okay," Patricia tried to calm herself, making it seem like everything was cool.
Ellar softly took Patricia's arm, checking the injury. "Does this seem 'okay' to you?" "Just a small injury,"
Patricia said, trying to act like it was no big deal.
Inside, though, her heart was all over the place, torn between wanting space from Ellar and being
afraid that any move might spill her feelings.
"Patricia, if you're having trouble looking after yourself, I might just stick around, you know, be a part of
your life," Ellar said, his tone sort of sounding like a warning.
He couldn't really express how hard it was for him to stay away, not catching sight of her, holding back
the urge to shadow her. Many times, he came close to giving in, just wanting to quietly check on her,but he always managed to resist. He wished her safety, happiness, and well-being, wanting her to have
her own life undisturbed.
Patricia was so surprised by his words that her eyes got wide, and her mouth opened a bit, but no
words came out.
"Tell me, how exactly did you hurt your arm?" Ellar tried to keep his voice calm as he asked.
With a hard swallow, Patricia's voice was faint as she said, "Can you step back a bit?"
Swallowing hard, Patricia's voice was as faint as a mosquito's buzz, "Can you step back a bit?"
Only then did Ellar realize how close he was to Patricia. He naturally took a couple of steps back,
putting some space between them.
"It was just an accident during a mission, nothing serious now," Patricia explained, then looked at Ellar,
"You don't have to worry about me. What could possibly happen to me while I'm with Ms. Riddle?" "I..."
Ellar was briefly lost for words, realizing that Nicole wouldn't let Patricia take unnecessary risks.
"If you came here to talk about work, and since you're done, you should probably go back. And I have
work to do as well," Patricia dismissed him with a cool gaze.
Somewhat choked up, Ellar could only say, "Okay."
Without lifting her head, Patricia gathered some documents.
Seeing her quiet, El I ar took a deep look at Patricia and said, "Take care of yourself." After saying that,
he turned and walked away with heavy steps.
Only then did Patricia raise her head to watch him leave, her eyes full of a mix of emotions.A pang of sadness hit Patricia's heart, and her hand unconsciously clenched, accidentally tugging on
novelbinher arm wound.
"Ouch," the sharp pain brought Patricia back to reality.
'Maybe it's for the best. He deserves someone who can have a calm and happy life with him till they're
old. Surely, he'll find that person and have a loving and joyful life forever.’
After leaving Patricia's office, Ellar couldn't help but clutch his chest. He had been so worked up just
now, almost losing his cool in front of Patricia.
