Chapter 2167

Raine felt relieved in an instant.

She looked at James and smiled. “James, without you, I wouldn’t know what to do.”

“Don’t worry. I’ll be by your side forever and always. I’ll take care of you.” James squeezed her hand gently.

Raine blushed and smiled, showing a rare feminine side to her.

In the afternoon, the sun blazed brightly.

Nicole had just finished handling all the documents when she heard a knock on the door.

“Come in.” Nicole looked up toward the entrance.

The door opened, and Ellar entered. He smiled brightly and said, “Hey, Nicole.”

Nicole was rather surprised to see him. “Why are you here?”

“I was on my way to discuss a project and happened to pass by, so I came up to see you,” Ellar said as he sat down on the couch.

“Is everything going smoothly at the BayCorp?” Nicole asked with concern.

BayCorp, like DillCorp and NandoCorp, was one of the branch companies under the Riddle Corporation.

Previously, Nicole only provided some ideas and planning to Dexter, meaning that future developments depended entirely on them. Some adjustments might have to be made if things did not go well.

“It’s going fine. With me there, you won’t be disappointed, Nicole.” Ellar raised his chin proudly.

Nicole laughed, encouraging Ellar. “Good, we believe in you. We know you can do it.”

“Heh…” Ellar felt a little shy after Nicole praised him.

Scratching his head, he lowered his voice and continued,” Actually, I need you to have a look at the project I’m currently negotiating.”

Looking at Ellar’s coy demeanor, Nicole smiled and said,” Sure. What project is it and how is it progressing?”

“It’s with Dunk Corporation. Things are going well, but I’m just worried.” Ellar then placed the documents on Nicole’s desk.

Nicole did not open them, but thoughtfully said, “You’re worried about BayCorp’s ability, and that they can’t undertake this project fully.”

“Yeah! You’re sharp, alright. You guessed it right away,” Ellar said with admiration.

“It’s simple. Since your negotiations are going smoothly, it means the problem isn’t with the project itself.” This implied that the issue lied with either Dunk Corporation or BayCorp.

Dunk Corporation was stronger compared to BayCorp, so it was only natural for Ellar to feel anxious about BayCorp’s capabilities.

“Ah, I’m really worried.” After all, this was the first project that he had undertaken independently, so he hoped that everything could go smoothly.

Nicole thought for a moment and then said, “Don’t worry. Dunk Corporation wouldn’t just choose any company to work with. They must’ve seen potential in you and BayCorp. Just do your best.”

“But what if things don’t work out?”

“We have each other. Sean, Steve, and I will all help you. If there’s really a problem, HQ won’t just sit and watch,” Nicole reassured him, genuine.

Ellar hesitated. ‘Will this drag the whole Riddle Corporation down?’

He came here to find someone to talk to. In the end, he still had to give it his all, and he figured that it would be good if he could get some guidance from Nicole.

He did not expect that Nicole would directly back him up with the support of the headquarters, which left him both surprised and touched.

Noticing Ellar’s silence, Nicole seemed to understand his thoughts and reassured him, “Be bold and just do it. We believe in you.”

Ellar gritted his teeth and replied, “Okay, I’ll do my best.”
