Chapter 2914

Sean and Steve also arrived at Nicole’s office after hearing the news.

Glancing at Ellar, Sean suggested with a frown, “Maybe we should just take him home.”

“That won’t work, he refuses to go,” Samuel explained. “I tried convincing him earlier, but he’s adamant.

He says he can’t go home like this, it would worry his family.”

“Are you sure he’s worried about his family, and not just embarrassed?” Steve asked skeptically.

“Even if that’s true,” Samuel shrugged, “sending him home in this state would definitely worry Uncle Dexter and Aunt Emma.”

Nicole agreed, “Sean, let’s just keep him here. It’s better not to worry them.”

“Alright, we’ll leave him here. But is it okay for you?” Sean asked, still hesitant.

“It’s fine. This way, I can keep an eye on him,” Nicole nodded. Seeing Ellar out-of-it, she felt more at ease monitoring him herself.

“I’m here too, don’t worry,” Samuel volunteered.

Steve glanced at Samuel with slight annoyance. “This mess is your doing, after all.”

“I didn’t mean for this to happen. It’s not like I could just leave him at the club,” Samuel said, feeling a bit wronged. At that moment, he couldn’t think of anyone but Nicole who would be willing to take care of Ellar.

“What about after work?” Sean asked, doubtful. It didn’t look like Ellar would wake up anytime soon.

“We’ll just let him stay here. Even if he wakes up, he’s familiar with the place and can take care of himself,” Nicole decided after a moment of thought.

Considering Ellar’s condition, it seemed best not to move him. “He can just sleep it off here,” Nicole concluded.

“Sounds good,” everyone agreed, and it was decided to let Ellar stay in Nicole’s office.Books Chapters Are Daily Updated Join & Stay Updated For All Books Updates…

“Don’t worry, guys, you can go ahead with your work,” Nicole reassured Sean and Steve.

After they left, she turned to Samuel, “You can head back too. If anything comes up, I’ll get someone to help.”

“I think I’ll stay till the end of the day,” Samuel decided, still a bit concerned.

“Nicole, you probably won’t get much work done this afternoon. How about I take care of the paperwork?” Lulu suggested.

“No need, it’s not urgent,” Nicole replied, shaking her head. She figured she could handle it tomorrow.

Hearing this, Lulu nodded, “Alright, I’ll leave you to it then,” and left to attend to her own work.

Soon, only Nicole, Samuel, and a still-sleeping Ellar were left in the office.

Samuel let out a sigh, resigning himself to the situation.’ Might as well stick around,’ he thought.

As the end of the day approached, Ellar still hadn’t woken up.

Suddenly, there was a knock at the door. Nicole, thinking it was Lulu, called out, “Come in.”

But to her surprise, it was Patricia who entered.

“Ms. Riddle, I need to discuss something…” Patricia began, then paused abruptly as her eyes fell on Ellar, sleeping on the couch.

‘Why is he here?’ she wondered, her brow furrowing as the strong smell of alcohol reached her.

Instantly, she realized what happened. ‘He’s drunk?!’ Her expression turned to one of confusion. ‘Why did he drink so much?’

“What is it?” Nicole asked, her voice calm but her eyes narrowing slightly in concern.
