Chapter 3084


    "So, you''re saying you don''t want to end the contract?" Er raised an eyebrow, seeking confirmation.


    Aadesh sighed, "Let''s not jump the gun. If the investigation goes ahead, not ending the contract will


    mean bigger losses for you."


    By then, not only would gettingpensation be impossible, but they''d also be facing double the loss.


    "But..." The others hesitated, their expressions showing concern.


    "Hey, since you''re not into canceling the deal or losing out, I''ve got an idea, " Patricia chimed in,


    sensing it was the right time to speak.


    "Who are you?" Aadesh scrunched up his face, not too happy. He''d thought Patricia was just Er''s


    secretary, and usually, secretaries don''t get a say in stuff like this.


    Patricia gave Aadesh a calm look. "I''m from Riddle Corporation, Nicole Riddle''s assistant."


    "Nicole Riddle..." Aadesh''s voice trailed off, sensing something wasn''t right. His tone got a bit using.


    "You''re Riddle Corporation CEO''s assistant!"


    The other CEOs also started looking uneasy. BayCorp was technically under Riddle Corporation, but it


    usually did its own thing without much interference.


    They wondered why someone from Nicole''s team was here and if she was here because of Nicole''s


    orders.


    "Ms. Riddle says BayCorp''s deals are Riddle Corporation''s deals too. If you want to know a


    subsidiary''s qualifications, you can ask the head office.


    And also..." Patricia paused, putting a bit of pressure in her tone, "Ms. Riddle mentioned if you''re still


    not happy, she can give you info onpanies from some big families. Would that work for you?"


    "Um, yeah, th-that''s fine," Wiley stammered, sounding a bit panicked.


    Boris took a deep breath and said, "What we''re trying to say is, we''re already pretty happy with Ms.


    Riddle''s personal assurance."


    "Yeah, we don''t need to get those families involved," they added, realizing those families were way out


    of their league.


    Aadesh felt dumbfounded, wishing he hadn''t rushed into signing that termination andpensation


    agreement. If Riddle Corporation could step in, he had nothing to worry about. There''d be no loss, and

    maybe even a better partnership.


    Jeremy looked back at Er. "Can we make another deal, Mr. Riddle?"


    "Another deal?" Er said proudly. "You should talk to Patricia about that."


    Wiley, Jeremy, and Boris all turned to Patricia at once, making her feel like her agreement was their


    only hope.


    Patricia stayed cool. "Ms. Riddle said yes."


    "That''s fantastic." It felt like getting Nicole''s personal assurance; they were totally at ease now.


    Once they all agreed, the group left, feeling a mix of happiness and sadness.


    "I''ll update Nicole," Patricia said, not nning to stick around. She let Er know and then headed out.


    Watching her leave without a second nce, Er felt a deep sense of sadness. Having her around


    had been great, but he knew those moments were over now.


    Patricia quickly got back to the head office and went into Nicole''s office. Lulu was there, smiling at


    Patricia. "Looks like things went well.”


    "Yeah, all done," Patricia said, walking over to the desk.


    Nicole nodded, satisfied. "As long as it''s sorted, that''s good."
