Chapter 2889
After a series of rapid-fire questions from Ellar, Patricia maintained her glare at him, refusing to answer any of it.
Instead, she countered, "Why are you here? Weren't you at BayCorp?"
"I came over because I was worried about you. I noticed you were missing early in the morning, so I came over to
ask Nicole. As it turned out, you were gone before we even knew it," Ellar explained, his head voice still tinged with
fear and concern.
A wide-eyed Patricia then turned to Nicole, who nodded and smiled. "Indeed, he was the first to notice your
absence. Otherwise, we might not have known as soon as we did."
It was then that an important realization dawned upon her.1 So that was why Ms. Riddle arrived earlier than

"That's right. Moreover, he was genuinely worried about you. If it weren’t for me holding him back, he would have
rushed over to where you were. He was super antsy even when he was here too." Lulu looked at Patricia with a
meaningful smile etched on her face.
Just like that, Patricia's glare vanished, replaced by an awkward frown which she attempted to conceal by looking
away. Ellar, however, remained oblivious as he continued to bombard her with a million questions.
"Ms. Riddle, if there's nothing else here for me to do, I'll
leave now," Patricia excused herself and turned around, feeling that the awkwardness was too much for her to
bear.
"Hey, wait up.” Ellar immediately chased after her.
With her eyes still trained on the two receding figures, Lulu smiled, turned to Nicole and Jared, and announced, "I'm
leaving too."
After Lulu was gone, Nicole issued a sigh of relief and looked up at Jared with a beaming smile.
In turn, he grabbed her hand and said, 'Do take a nap for a while if you're feeling tired."
"I'm fine." Nicole linked arms with Jared and lowered her voice into a whisper. "I just think the Eastern Falcon is
enshrouded in a veil of mystery and secrecy. It's been such a long time, but there's still no substantial evidence to
prove that they are back in the scene. We've found no core information about them either."
Gently stroking her hair, Jared assured, "Perhaps we'll find the information we've been looking for this time."
"Are there any updates?" Nicole asked with her brows raised.
"We're waiting for Max's report." Jared, with his hand still wrapped around hers, led her to the sitting area.
Nodding in understanding, Nicole sighed in relief. "I hope everything goes smoothly."

Max had been away with his team for several days now, and it was about time they got some results. Moreover,
Zane had been conducting an investigation of his own for a few weeks, and by now, they should have found some
clues.
Straining her eyes, Nicole recalled the conversation she had overheard between Damien and his associate. 'What
else are they trying to do, given their capabilities...?'
Meanwhile, the air was nowhere near as calm in Patricia's office.
With a stern look on his face, Ellar warned. "This is the last time! Don't you dare do something as risky as this ever
again."
Patricia raised an eyebrow, opting not to give him a direct answer. "This is my business. It's not something you need
to concern yourself with."
"But I will be worried about you!" Ellar shouted, his voice breaking in helplessness.
