Chapter 2728

This is definitely a good project. Nicole must have a lot of faith in me if she is handing it to me. She’s trying to help me out too. But whether I can meet her expectations or not is another question altogether.

What if I lose in the bidding…’ All of a sudden, Ellar tensed up, and he began straining his eyes. Then, he picked his phone up, wanting to make a call.

After thinking about it for a moment, however, he placed it down and composed himself.

Nicole did not call me to tell me about this at all. Instead, she has faxed the document over. I guess this shows that she places a lot of trust in me. Because of this, I think I should take care of this myself without bothering her,’ Ellar thought.

Gritting his teeth, Ellar made the decision to rely on nobody but himself in solving his conundrum.

All this time, Nicole had been guiding and aiding him along the way, and now that she was showing some faith and trust in him, Ellar should not let her down.

Having made his mind, he sifted through his list of contacts and called one of the numbers. “Please inform the project and marketing department that we will be gathering at the meeting room now. I also need you to make a few more copies of the document we have just received and send it to the meeting room.”

After the call had ended, Ellar tidied up the pile of documents on his desk, strutted out of the office, and made a beeline for the meeting room.

Although they had to manage a massive workload over the past few days, Ellar knew that what he needed to do at that moment was to focus on the important things. The last thing he wanted at a time like this was to let Nicole down.

As for what Patricia had said…

Two days passed in the blink of an eye.

Nicole was just working as usual. Every threat that had been issued on the anonymous letter did not translate to actions in real life. It was as if they had just played a prank on her.

However, news about Chloe’s arrest had been exposed, and it quickly made the headlines.

As expected, Chloe’s odious actions shocked the public, but there was also a sizable minority that was sympathetic to her.

“Nicole, have you seen it? News about Chloe’s arrest is circulating now,” Lulu chirped upon stepping into Nicole’s office.

They had finally gotten what they wanted: retributive justice.

“Yeah, I saw it.”

Nicole, on the other hand, was calm. She had never expected any major changes to occur as far as the incident was concerned.

Unable to stop smirking, Lulu turned to Nicole and added,” She brought it upon herself. I wonder if she will grow and learn from this incident. It’s time she got rid of that wicked nature of hers, you know.”

“No matter what happens next, that’s on her. If she refuses to learn from this, she better not drag me through the mud with her shenanigans,” Nicole replied, having decided she would not allow Chloe to try anything stupid on her any longer.

“That’s true. Even if she chooses not to change, we’ll have to wait until she gets released. But then, her prison sentence is pretty long, so it will be a tough road ahead for her.” Lulu said, seemingly rejoicing over Chloe’s misery.

‘It’s all her doing, so she should bear the consequences for her actions,’ Lulu thought.

After breathing a sigh of relief, Lulu glanced at Nicole and asked, “What do you think happened to that letter?”

Up until now, nothing had happened, though there was a sneaking suspicion that nobody would be ridiculous enough to send a letter issuing a bunch of empty threats for no reason.

“Perhaps they’re just waiting for the right time to make a move. Otherwise, it might just be an act to test my reaction.” Nicole narrowed her eyes, not buying the idea that it was all just a prank.

“But we haven’t been doing anything different for the past few days. We’re all functioning as usual, so what could they have observed?” Lulu asked.

She felt that one of the reasons as to why they had not made a move was because they might have realized something.

Changing the subject, Nicole looked up at Lulu and asked,” How’s Ellar doing?”

“Now that you mention it…” Lulu hesitated for a moment.” Why has he been so quiet recently?”

If Nicole had not asked about Ellar, Lulu would not have thought about him at all. And now that she thought about it, Lulu realized that there was no news from Ellar at all. He had not even given her a call or sent her a message.

“Did he decide to take us up on the project we’ve sent him?” Nicole questioned again.

“Oh, yeah. The only thing I know is that he had made the decision to take it up as soon as he had received the document. He even called for a meeting with the departments right after he had accepted the task. He had also selected a number of staff members for the job, headed by Ellar himself,” Lulu informed.

After that, there had been no updates from him ever since
