Chapter 3114


    "Alright, get to work," Nicole gently patted Lulu''s shoulder.


    "Okay." Nodding, Lulu headed to her own office.


    After returning to her office, Nicole sat down at her desk. She flipped through the documents on her


    desk, her brow slightly furrowing.


    Concerned about Er''s situation, she felt somewhat relieved that Patricia had arranged for someone


    to follow Er, ensuring his personal safety.


    Meanwhile, Er was making his way toward BayCorp.


    He had deliberately chosen the lunch hour for his visit, hoping to discuss some investigative matters


    and also hoping to catch a glimpse of Patricia.


    Since thest incident with Patricia, when she came for the surveince footage and encountered


    Emma and Doretta, he was aware that Patricia might misunderstand the situation. Patricia, being highly


    intelligent, would easily see through the intentions behind Emma bringing Doretta along.


    After all, if he could understand the situation, Patricia surely would too.


    But some things, once they had happened, were beyond one''s control.


    What he could do now was try to prevent the situation from worsening.


    Recalling Lulu''s words, Er frowned as he thought, ''If I were to say I had someone I liked, Mom might

    respect my wishes.


    ''However, she would also want to meet the person.


    ''Whom would I bring home then? Bringing a fake girlfriend couldplicate things in the future, yet I


    don''t have a real one either*


    "Sigh," Er exhaled in resignation.


    "Mr. Riddle, are you still worried about the phosphate rock powder incident?


    " his assistant asked quietly. Although the incident had passed, the perpetrators had not been found,


    leaving open the possibility of their return and potential harm to BayCorp.


    Ell ar looked up at his assistant and asked, "Do you think if I asked Patricia toe home with me, she


    would agree?"


    "What?" The assistant was momentarily confused, not quite catching the meaning.


    "Never mind," Er said, seeing the puzzled look on his assistant''s face, and then snapped back to


    reality.


    Cautiously, the assistant asked, Mr. Riddle, is something wrong?"


    "Just drive," Er responded without borating further, turning his gaze to the window outside.


    Sensing Er''s mood wasn''t the best, the assistant focused on driving.


    Er watched the streetscape sh by. Patricia''s image unwittingly crossed his mind, leaving him


    feeling somewhat bitter and frustrated.


    As dusk approached, Nicole, looking at Lulu and Patricia, asked, "Where are you headed?"


    "Spencer ising to pick me up. He''s made dinner reservations," Lulu said with a sweet smile.


    "I’m going to Dr. Wyance''s ce," Patricia replied.


    Nicole raised her eyebrows slightly. "Is something the matter?"


    "Dr. Wyance called me over, but he didn''t specify what for," Patricia said, also clearly puzzled.


    "Go ahead," Nicole nodded, signaling her to proceed, then walked toward Jared''s car.


    Once in the car, Jared softly asked, "What''s going on?"


    "Martin wants Patricia to see him, not sure why," Nicole expressed her concern, finding it odd that


    Martin would request Patricia''s presence.


    Jared, holding Nicole''s hand gently, reassured, "Patricia can handle it."


    Mm," Nicole agreed, deciding to ask Patricia about it tomorrow.
