"Ms. Riddle, Doretta came to my ce yesterday..." Patricia shared the information Doretta had given
her with Nicole.
Nicole''s eyes showed a hint of seriousness. "It looks like Lawrence is finally making his move. He''s
probably getting impatient.'' "Jared has started the process to buy the MierMare Group. We''re hoping to
see results by the day after tomorrow at the earliest. Do we have enough time?" Lulu asked, worried.
Nicole''s eyes narrowed a bit. it should be enough time." "They''re keeping a low profile right now, not
wanting to show themselves, so they won''t act too quickly. We should have enough time in three days,"
Patricia added.
"That''s good to hear," Lulu responded, feeling resolved. "I''m speeding up our work here, trying to get a
n ready quickly ourpany can handle this situation smoothly."
With Jared''s move to acquire MierMare Group, her job was bing a lot easier.
With Jared''s move to acquire MierMare Group, her job was bing a lot easier.
Once MierMare is part of the Johnston Group, any partnership would be straightforward and beneficial.
So, she could focus fully on creating a perfect, innovative n to push the project forward effectively
and ensure a positive result.
Nicole smiled encouragingly at Lulu. "Proceed with confidence. The acquisition of MierMare Group will
definitely be sessful." "Alright, I''ll get on with my work then," Lulu said, determined to quickly create
the best n. They wanted to be ready to move forward right after the acquisition.
After Lulu left, Nicole turned to Patricia. "Did Doretta tell you anything else?
"No," Patricia replied. "That''s everything she knew for now. But she and Charlie have a backup n. If
Lawrence''s teames to San Joto, they n to catch them." "Good, that''s a solid n," Nicole said,
nodding in approval.
Being proactive was often the best approach, so Nicole supported the forward-thinking strategy of
Doretta and Charlie.
"Ms. Riddle, since we know what''s happening, please be careful about going out, especially by
yourself," Patricia suggested. "I can handle any errands or tasks you have." "Don''t worry, I''ll keep doing
my usual things; it''s best not to tip off Lawrence by changing my routine," Nicole reassured her,
highlighting the need to act normally to prevent Lawrence from suspecting they were onto him.
"But still..." Patricia insisted, concerned primarily for Nicole''s safety.
Nicole reassured her with a confident smile, "Rest assured, Lawrence is unlikely to make a move on
me before his people arrive in San Joto."
She believed that any sudden action from Lawrence at this point would be premature and not
particrly advantageous, anticipating that he would wait for his reinforcements.

"Understood," Patricia nodded, though she still felt the urge to keep a close watch on Nicole''s safety.
Shifting the conversation, Nicole remarked, "I see things are settled between you and Er," her gaze
subtly dropping to Patricia''s left hand.
With a slight self-conscious movement of her hand, Patricia acknowledged, "Yes, we''ve decided to be
together." "That''s wonderful. You''ve both been through so much, and it''s heartening to see your
rtionshipe full circle," Nicole expressed, d to see their affection finally culminating in a
commitment.
Flushing slightly, Patricia admitted softly, "I was hesitant about certain things before, and I''m grateful Ell
ar stood by me." She recognized that if Er had given up, they might have missed their chance to be
together.
Nicole smiled and teased, "It seems I''ll need to find a new assistant then."
Since Patricia had chosen to be with Er, it implied she would eventually leave her current position.
Quickly, Patricia responded, somewhat flustered, "Ms. Riddle, I want to stay here. Even if you hire a
new assistant, they won''t be as familiar with everything as I am, so please, could you not rece me?"
