Chapter 2783
"Oh, you can just rest. Don't mind me," Ellar compromised.
Then, he placed the glass of water down and took five steps back away from her.
Having had it up to here with him, Patricia rolled her eyes and stared at Ellar with a look of helplessness. "Please get
out."
"Come on. I swear I'll stay quiet and not bother you," Ellar protested, and took another five steps back.
Patricia glared at him, frustrated by his actions. To her, his mere presence was a disturbance in itself. Usually, there
was nothing in the office that would constitute a challenge for her. However, she could barely focus on her work
today, and it was all because of Ellar being an annoyance, much like a fly buzzing around her ear.
After drawing a deep breath, Patricia suppressed her urge to lash out, and with a measure of calm, she said,
"Get...out."

As long as Patricia did not make him leave, Ellar was content to do nothing but see her work.
Patricia, however, refused to agree to Ellar's request. Instead, she maintained her glare at him without uttering
another word.
Ellar knew Patricia was not going to compromise, but he really did not want to leave, so he bit his lips and crouched
down behind the couch. "I promise you won't see me. Is this alright?"
It was at this point that Patricia was on the verge of throwing the stack of files in her hand at him out of frustration.
Ellar had deliberately come here to piss her off.
"Suit yourself," Patricia said.
Defeated, Patricia stormed out of her office, deciding that she would leave if Ellar wanted to stay.
After hurrying out of her office, Patricia went to Lulu's.
"Huh? Why are you here?" Lulu asked.
And upon noticing the sour look on Patricia's face, Lulu asked, "Are you angry at something?"
"I'm fine. Can I just use your place for a moment?" Patricia asked as she took a seat.
Lulu frowned in puzzlement. "What's wrong with yours?"
After completing her sentence, Lulu glanced outside and noticed Ellar, who had just emerged from Patricia's office.
She blinked in confusion, wondering what was going on.
"Hey, I think Ellar went into your office looking for you," Lulu informed.
"Ignore him," Patricia replied curtly.
Lulu widened her eyes and grinned as the truth of the situation dawned upon her. "Patricia? Is there something
going on between you and Ellar?"
"No way! There's nothing between us. Don't overthink it," Patricia clarified sternly.
"Alright. Those are just my intrusive thoughts. Nothing to cry home about. You, however, will have more to think
about," Lulu teased, her grin becoming wider as she glanced outside again.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmEllar's look of anxiety, coupled with his frantic search for Patricia, had made it obvious that something was wrong.
Understandably, Ellar, who had always shadowed Nicole, had taken a liking for tough and independent women such
as the likes of Patricia. The only difference was that Ellar had grown up, and was now able to stand on his own.
In fact, Lulu found them to be quite a cute match.
Lulu turned to stare at Patricia, only to find her busy with her work. So, she shrugged her shoulders and dropped
the conversation.
Meanwhile, Ellar had gone to ask Nicole's secretary about Patricia's whereabouts after he could not find her
anywhere.
"I saw Patricia going into Lulu's office just now," the secretary replied.
Ellar shot Lulu's office a glance, and it just so happened that Lulu was also looking outside with a smirk.
Defeated, he furrowed his brows and headed to Nicole's office. Since Patricia was eluding him, it would be stupid for
him to follow her around and badger her again. If he went to Lulu's office, Patricia might just storm off again and
find another place to hide.
