My Wife Act Differently Behind Me

Chapter 2883

Seeing that Ellar had piped down, Nicole slowly explained," Damien's escape was a part of Charlie’s

plan. I suspect that Patricia's sudden disappearance might also be part of the plan."

"But Charlie doesn't know about it, does he?" Lulu frowned, thinking that it was something Charlie

should be privy to.

"Perhaps something unexpected occurred while they were on the scene, leaving Patricia with no time

to discuss it with Charlie. Therefore, I think we should wait a little longer. If she had indeed decided that

her disappearance was essential for the plan to succeed, our actions might only sabotage her," Nicole

explained.

"But...but for how long do we have to wait?" Ellar anxiously asked, for every minute he spent waiting for

her would feel like an eternity.

After glancing over at Ellar, Nicole replied, "Eight hours. We'll wait until tonight."

If there was still no news about Patricia by duskfall, they would have to act.

"In that case, I won't be returning to my office. I'm staying here with you. If there are any updates, I

must know right away," Ellar insisted.

"Have you made all the necessary arrangements in your company?" Nicole raised an eyebrow as she

asked.

Scratching his head in awkwardness, Ellar replied, "Don't worry. Nothing will happen."

Though he had not planned anything, his secretary would be more than capable of handling everything

in BayCorp in his absence.

Hearing that, Nicole could only shake her head in defeat and sigh. However, she did not make an effort

to stop Ellar.

"Nicole, should we make some preparations just in case?" Lulu asked in a hushed tone of voice.

To that, Nicole agreed with a nod. "Yes, we should prepare."

Even if Patricia's disappearance was a part of her plan, which they assumed was well thought out, they

still needed to consider unexpected possibilities. The last thing they needed was to be caught off guard

and unprepared.

"What do you need me to do?" Ellar asked as soon as he heard there was a plan in motion.

Glancing over at Ellar, Nicole said, "We need you to stay calm."

"Aw man... Please?" He pouted and slumped back against his chair, deflated and dispirited.

"Pouting won't help," Nicole shot back, serious and unsmiling.

This was not a game; it was a mission which could potentially get them killed. Because of this, she did

not want Ellar to be anywhere near them should a battle break out, both to prevent him from getting

hurt and to avoid any mishaps or mistakes which could compromise Patricia's safety.

Sensing how determined Nicole was, Ellar nodded and settled down, even though he was itching to

lend a hand.

Satisfied with Ellar's response, Nicole turned to Lulu and ordered, "As for you, I need you to take care

of everything in the company."

"You're acting in person?" Lulu's heart skipped a beat.

Lulu's eyes were wide as she held her breath. She was not on board with the idea of Nicole being

personally involved with Patricia's rescue. She feared that which would happen should something

horrible occur to Nicole.

Knowing what Lulu was thinking, Nicole looked at her and said, "Don't worry. Although I am not as

quick and dexterous as I used to be, I can still hold my own."

"No, you can't risk it. Let's think of other solutions! Please?" Lulu shook her head, dissuading Nicole as

she was truly concerned about her safety.

However, Nicole, who had made up her mind, would not be swayed, so she comforted Lulu with a pat C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.

on the shoulder." Don't worry. I'll be fine. I need you to trust me on this."

Then, she turned to Ellar with a glare and issued him a serious warning, "Stay here. Don't go

anywhere."

Worried, Ellar decided to make one final plea. "If you insist on going, can you at least bring me with

you?"

"No, I can handle it myself. Bringing you along will only put us at greater risk of being detected," Nicole

firmly declined.

At that very instant, all Lulu and Ellar could do was stare at her with anxiety written all over their faces

as they knew full well that nothing they could say would sway Nicole.

Nicole could not help but smile when she noticed how they looked. "It’s fine. I will prioritize my own

safety."

After that, she turned to Lulu, pointed a finger at Ellar, and reminded, "Make sure to keep an eye on

him."

Ellar going rogue and acting on his own impulses was the last thing she needed. If he tailed her while

she was out conducting her search, the situation would become much more complicated than it already

was.

Understanding Nicole's concerns, Lulu reluctantly said, "I got it. But you must come back safely. Should

you not hear from or about Patricia even after you've done your best, please come back, and we'll

figure something out."

"I'll rendezvous with Charlie and decide on what to do next," Nicole said before marching out of Riddle

Corporation.
