Chapter 2805


    “I am the interim secretary assigned to help you out. I will be recing Patricia until she returns,” the


    secretary exined.


    Upon hearing this, Nicole understood that Jared must have assigned this secretary to help her out with


    the tasks that Patricia had always handled. The fact that she had shown up to sort through the


    documents was the reason as to why Nicole had thought for a second that Patricia was back.

    As it turned out, Jared had hired someone who mirrored her and Patricia’s work habits and patterns.


    Everything was set up exactly like when Patricia was still here, which in turn made things easier for her.


    Feeling a sense of warmth and appreciation in her heart, Nicole smiled.


    She then instructed the secretary, “Alright. There’s nothing here for now.


    You may leave.” “Yes,” the secretary said, and left the room thereafter.


    Nicole walked to her desk, grabbed the stack of files with a look of amusement, and began working in a


    good mood. With Jared’s arrangements, Nicole felt that everything had run, and would run smoothly


    today.


    Meanwhile, Harvey was leaning back against his chair, reading the report handed over to him by the


    staff of Ellison Group. His face turned pale as he realized the severity of the situation he was in.


    “After all the hard work, should this be the result?!” Harvey red at his assistant, his voice brimming


    with anger.


    Frightened, the assistant shrank back and said, “l-l didn’t expect things to turn out this way.”


    As it turned out, Riddle Corporation had pretended to partner with Ellison Group and had only signed


    small, insignificant contracts with them. No one could have expected that Riddle Corporation would


    snatch away arge number of major projects from Ellison Group. All of the significant projects Ellison


    Group had anticipated had all been bagged by Riddle Corporation under the leadership of Nicole. Now,


    hispany had been left without any resources for any uing projects, putting their financial


    chain at the risk of breaking.


    Harvey mmed the report onto the table and roared, “God damn it! Is there nothing you can think of?”


    ‘Even if they could not predict that the Riddles would steal our projects, they could have used their


    brains when making important decisions!’ he fumed.


    Trembling, his assistant apologized, “Mr. Ellison, what should we do now?”


    If they did note up with a solution soon, Ellison Group would be in dire straits.


    Staring at the assistant with cold fury in his eyes, Harvey sneered. “Are you all good-for-nothing


    imbeciles?”Books Chapters Are Daily Updated Join & Stay Updated For All Books Updates…


    The assistant remained silent and kept his head hanging low. All he could do was quietly wait for


    Harvey’s instructions.


    A furious Harvey then forced himself to calm down. Throwing a temper tantrum like this was thest


    thing he needed to do at the moment. He needed to find a solution, for he could not allow Ellison Group


    to fall like this.


    After a moment, Harvey ordered the assistant, “Go and contact several CEOs. Tell them I’m inviting


    them to dinner.” “Yes,” The assistant quickly responded and turned away.


    Harvey was overwhelmed with frustration at the moment. He had failed to anticipate Nicole’s moves,


    and as a result, she had yed him like a fiddle once more. Nicole today was still as calm, ruthless,


    and shrewd as she was back then. For now, he could only invite a few CEOs over to see if there was


    any room to turn the tables around. He could afford to deal with other issuester on.


    As the sun set, everyone left their workces and gathered at the restaurant.


    “Wow, Cherry, why did you choose such a high-end ce?” Lulu eximed after taking a seat.


    “It’s alright. After all, I’ve caused a fair bit of trouble for everyone during this period of time. Since I’m


    leaving for real this time, I wanted to treat everyone to something nice. A sincere token of appreciation


    for everyone’s help and care,” Cherry said earnestly.


    “Oh, don’t be so sentimental. It’s not like you’re nevering back,” Luluforted Cherry.


    “I may note back, at least not in the foreseeable future,” Cherry sighed. “What I did probably


    disappointed my family to their very core. I’ll have to wait for them to cool down before I cane


    back.”


    The room instantly fell silent, with everyone beginning to share a sense of sympathy for Cherry and her


    situation.


    “Don’t be sad. They will forgive you soon. After all, they love you,” Tia said,forting Cherry.
