"Need something?" Zane's voice crackled over the line.
"Here's the situation in San Joto," Nicole explained, then suggested, "We should focus on neutralizing
Everett's influence here."
"Okay, not a bad plan," Zane agreed. "I'll dispatch another team."
"Perfect, with the current team there, that should work," Nicole replied.
Zane cautioned, "I'll get it set up, but remember, you can't be involved in this one."
"Don't worry, I know," Nicole replied, shaking her head helplessly with a smile.
"Stay sharp," Zane's voice was firm.
Given Nicole's current situation and physical condition, direct involvement in the operation was risky.
She needed to proceed with caution.
"Let's leave it there for now," Nicole agreed before ending the call.
"How soon can they get here?" Lulu inquired.
"Probably about three days," Nicole estimated.
"So, should we be getting things ready?" Lulu asked, wondering if they needed to prepare in advance.
"Not yet, just wait for them to arrive. But..." Nicole's expression turned serious, and she added with
significance, "We can start some preliminary investigation work."Nicole messaged Patricia to organize the investigation. The team Zane had sent earlier was now
temporarily under Patricia's command, and it was time for them to start their tasks.
"But can Patricia handle everything by herself?" Lulu expressed her concern.
"Just keeping an eye on Doretta should be doable," Nicole affirmed, trusting in Patricia's abilities,
especially for a task involving just Doretta.
"Okay, if you're sure." Seeing Nicole's confidence, Lulu felt more at ease.
novelbinMeanwhile, after Patricia received Nicole's message, her expression darkened slightly as she issued
instructions.
Patricia tucked her phone away, her demeanor radiating a chilly aura.
"What's up?" Ellar's voice startled Patricia, pulling her back to the present with a touch of annoyance.
"Why didn't you knock?"
Looking somewhat innocent, Ellar replied, "I noticed the door wasn't shut, so I figured it was okay to
come in."
Frowning, Patricia asked, "What do you need?" She had left the door ajar to monitor Doretta, not to
invite his intrusion.
"I noticed you seemed lost in thought, so I thought I'd check in," Ellar explained, genuinely concerned
by her troubled expression.
"It's nothing, just work stuff," Patricia waved off casually.
"Is there a work problem bothering you?" Ellar moved closer to Patricia's desk. "Do you need any
help?"Patricia glanced at Ellar, shaking her head. "No, I've got it under control."
"Okay then." Sensing Patricia's frostiness, Ellar could only scratch his head in resignation.
"If there's nothing else, you should go," Patricia said, picking up some documents.
Reluctantly, Ellar glanced back at Patricia before turning to leave.
Watching him go, Patricia bit her lip involuntarily, Charlie's words echoing in her mind.
'Could a relationship between Ellar and me really work?'
if I truly stepped back from the team, will Charlie really stay in it forever?'
Feeling troubled, Patricia didn't know what choice to make.
In the afternoon, under the strong sunlight, Nicole and Lulu returned to the company after lunch.
