    "Wait a sec," Steve started.

    Nicole cut in, "You''re not gonna say it''s not needed, right?"


    After a pause, Steve chuckled. "Seems like it might work."


    "That''s better," Nicole grinned. "You''ll have to be there for Sally''s delivery and pitch in with baby duties


    afterward. Once Sally''s back on her feet, you can return to thepany."


    They could hire a nanny to help Sally with the baby, which should work out fine.


    "Did you think of this n?" Steve asked.


    "Mom and Dad are on board too. Dad even offered to lend a hand with thepany if things get


    hectic," Nicole exined.


    "We''ll cope by ourselves," Sean jumped in, notpletely agreeing.


    Nicole nodded, "I''ve already talked it over with Dad."


    "Then Sally and I appreciate everyone’s help," Steve said, relieved that everything was sorted.


    "We''re all like family here, no need to be so formal," Nicole teased gently.


    Sean chimed in, "It''s only fair. When my wife has a baby, you guys will have to share some of the


    "Jane''s expecting too?" Nicole and Steve eximed simultaneously.


    "Not yet, I was just making aparison," Sean exined, a bit annoyed. It was inevitable; there was


    no need for such surprise.


    "Well, it''s good to have ns," Steve shrugged. "I thought you were treating your careers like your


    kids."


    Sean rolled his eyes at Steve''s remark, choosing to ignore it, and turned to Nicole. "Since that''s settled,


    let''s discuss thepany stuff."


    "Sure thing," Nicole agreed,ying out her ideas for Sean.


    Sean, after hearing Nicole''s n, nodded in agreement. "That sounds good, let''s go with that."


    "I''ll get started on the work handover during this period. From now on, it''s up to you guys," Steve said,


    nodding.


    "Great, it''s best to have everything sorted out beforehand, so you can leave without worries," Nicole


    said, turning to Sean. "Any other arrangements you need to make?"


    "That should cover it. If any issuese up, we can discuss themter," Sean replied.


    "Okay, then it''s settled," Nicole concluded, standing up.


    Sean and Steve also got up. "We''ll head back to our offices now."


    They all went their separate ways to their offices.


    As Nicole settled into her desk, Patricia entered to report, "Ms. Riddle, here are the new documents."


    "Thanks, just leave them here," Nicole said, then nced up at Patricia. ’ We''re going to Martin''s


    tomorrow to take off the bandage, right? To check out the final results."


    "Yes," Patricia confirmed, absentmindedly touching her cheek, feeling a bit nervous. Despite their


    optimism about the oue, there was still a lingering uncertainty until the bandage was actually


    removed.


    "Don''t worry. We''ve been positive about this, and it''s going to be fine. Even if it''s not perfect, Martin and


    I will figure something out," Nicole reassured


    Patricia.


    ''Thank you, Ms. Riddle," Patricia said appreciatively.


    "No need to thank me. Just get back to your work," Nicole said with a smile.


    "Sure thing," Patricia agreed, then left the office.


    Nicole then picked up the documents beside her and started working through them.


    Time passed quickly, and before she knew it, it was lunchtime.


    "Nicole, let''s grab some lunch?" Lulu called out to her.


    "Sure thing," Nicole replied, ready for a break.
