Chapter 2913


    “Okay,” Nicole agreed, hanging up the phone.


    Nicole had Lulu arranging for someone to pick up Samuel and Er. After Lulu did so, she returned to


    Nicole’s office.


    “What’s going on with him?” Lulu asked, clearly puzzled.


    Nicole shrugged helplessly, “Guess he was just feeling down. ” She briefly exined to Lulu what


    Samuel had told her.


    Lulu nodded in understanding. “Ah, so he was just putting on a brave front. Warned Charlie to treat


    Patricia well, then turned around and ended up crying himself.”


    “What else could it be?” Nicole sighed, seeing that Er genuinely liked Patricia.


    “But I’m curious,” Lulu said, frowning slightly. “Patricia and Charlie don’t really seem like a couple, do


    they? I mean, they care about each other, but it doesn’t feel like a romantic thing.”


    Nicole raised an eyebrow slightly. Lulu was quite perceptive.

    She hesitated to discuss Patricia and Charlie’s rtionship, considering their identities. Revealing too


    much could endanger their safety.


    “Lulu, what if Er can’t move on?” Lulu was already worried about him.


    Nicole frowned slightly. “He’ll get through it eventually.”


    Nicole thought, ‘If Patricia really decides that way, then maybe Er never really had a chance.’ She


    then said,” Someday, Er will have to grow up and face it.”


    “Hopefully,” Lulu sighed, shaking her head.


    As they were talking, some noise from outside caught their attention. Lulu went to open the office door.


    The guys who were sent to pick them up walked in with Samuel, carrying apletely out-of-it Er


    between them.


    “Put him on the couch,” Nicole instructed, frowning slightly, then turned to Lulu. “Can you get him some


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


    “Sure,” Lulu replied and quickly headed out, followed by the assistant who had helped bring Er.


    Samuel shook his head in annoyance. “He said he was fine, but look at him now. Should’ve never gone


    out with him.”


    He regretted just saying hi to Er; now, seeing the mess, he wished he hadn’t. ‘If only I hadn’t greeted


    him, he would’ve just gone to work like normal,’ Samuel thought.


    Nicole nced at Er and said with a concerned frown,” Who knows when he’ll wake up.”


    “Hard to say,” Samuel replied, looking at Er. ‘He didn’t just drink; he practically drowned himself in


    booze.’


    “He’s hurting inside. Maybe he’ll feel better when he wakes up,” Nicole mused. ‘Sometimes, you just


    need to let it all out.’


    “Acting like he’s fine, and then he spills everything once he’s drunk,” Samuel muttered, remembering


    how pitiful Er had looked crying. He couldn’t help but feel a bit disgusted.


    Nicole gave Samuel a disapproving look. “You’reughing at him instead offorting him?”


    “No, it’s not like that,” Samuel defended himself. “If I didn’t care, I would’ve left him at the club. I stayed


    because, well, heartbreak happens. He has to face it.”


    Nicole, somewhat exasperated, said, “If you’re done here, you can go. We’ll take care of him.”


    “I’ve got nothing else to do. I might as well stay and help out, ” Samuel insisted. He knew he couldn’t


    manage Er on his own, and neither could Nicole and Lulu.


    Just then, Lulu returned with the tea. “Here’s the water.”


    Samuel took the cup from her. ‘Til handle this.”


    Nicole looked over and, seeing Samuel’s insistence on staying, let him be.
