"Let's catch up another day," Emma said, although she felt reluctant to part ways, she knew she
couldn't keep Patricia from her commitments.
"I’ll walk you out," Ellar offered, standing up.
Patricia nodded in acknowledgment and then followed Ellar out.
"Nicole, your assistant Patricia is both beautiful and capable. That's a real stroke of luck for Ellar,"
Emma couldn't stop praising Patricia.
"Emma, Patricia is great, but..." Nicole tried to caution Emma not to get too carried away, but found
herself at a loss for words.
"But what?" Emma asked, puzzled.
"Oh, it's just that Patricia might not be planning to get married anytime soon, so her relationship with
Ellar could still face some uncertainties," Lulu chimed in, understanding Nicole's hesitation and making
an excuse for Patricia.
Hearing this, Emma laughed and said, ’That's alright. They're both young.
Waiting a couple of years is fine, as long as they love each other.’
Her concern for Ellar's marital prospects was eased by the fact that he now had a girlfriend, so she was
no longer in a hurry.
Lulu glanced at Nicole with a meaningful smile and said, "Exactly, no rush." "Right," Nicole agreed,
then stood up and said, "Uncle Dexter, Emma, Doretta, we'll be heading back now." "You're leavingtoo?" Dexter and Emma immediately stood up.
Nicole and Lulu replied, "We just came to see how you guys were doing. It's time for US to head back."
"It's getting late; you should head back," Dexter agreed.
"Indeed, you better head home early," Emma added, without further attempts to keep them.
After getting into the car and driving away, Lulu furrowed her brows and said, "Nicole, do you think
Doretta is cunning?" "Indeed, she hides it well. That's why we must have concrete evidence. This way,
even if we can't keep things under wraps, we can at least explain things to Emma," Nicole replied, her
gaze deepening.
They intended to keep Emma in the dark as much as possible, but accidents could happen, so they
needed to be prepared.
"Tomorrow, she's starting work at BayCorp. I wonder if Patricia will be able to handle it," Lulu expressed
novelbinher concern.
"Don't worry, Ellar is there," Nicole reassured her with a smile. "After all, Ellar won't let Patricia be
bullied." And Doretta probably wouldn't be too overt in her actions. Even if she had a mission, she likely
wouldn't want to be discovered, so she wouldn't be too brazen.
Lulu nodded after a moment, "Right, and Patricia isn't someone who can be easily bullied." Patricia
wasn't an easy target, so she might not necessarily be at a disadvantage.
Then, Lulu, driven by curiosity, asked Nicole, "Patricia mentioned she had something to do. What is it?"
"I'm not sure, possibly something to do with her investigation,” Nicole's expression slightly darkened as
she recalled the serious expression on Patricia's face when she left.
"Oh, I hope there's progress," Lulu sighed.Both returned home, and by that time, Patricia had already met up with Charlie.
"Any news?" Patricia asked Charlie.
Charlie looked at Patricia, his expression resigned. "I hoped we wouldn't need to involve you again, but
it seems we can't avoid pulling you back in."
Jared had agreed that Patricia shouldn't take on any more missions, but she couldn't avoid involvement
after all. With Everett returning and targeting the entire Riddle Corporation and family, Patricia, being in
the midst of it all, couldnt possibly remain uninvolved.
"It's okay, stepping back was never my intention," Patricia replied, meeting Charlie's gaze.
