Chapter 2936

“Yeah, he’ll be giving them feedback tonight,” Nicole said with a smile.

Daniel glanced at Nicole, “Good, then let’s wrap it up quickly. r» “Okay, well head out first then,” Nicole replied, standing up to leave with Jared.

Gloria, curious, asked Daniel, “You usually don’t ask so many details about the kids. What’s up today?”

Daniel shook his head, “Nothing much. Just felt like Nicole was a bit off. Maybe I’m overthinking.”

‘It’s just feedback for a game beta test. A simple reply should do. No big deal,’ he thought.

Gloria reassured, “Nicole’s got it under control, especially when it’s about Nolan.

She wouldn’t take it lightly.”

Daniel found Gloria’s words reasonable and didn’t dwell on it any longer.

Nicole and Jared left the house and got into the car.

Leaning back in her seat, Nicole sighed, ’It all has to come to an end eventually.’ Jared gently squeezed her hand, as if to comfort her.

Nicole looked at Jared, a small smile on her lips, and shook her head to indicate she was fine. Tve come to terms with a lot over time. If this is the inevitable outcome, I have to accept it,’ she thought.

Arriving at Riddle Corporation, Nicole bid Jared farewell and got out of the car.

Jared watched her go, feeling sad for her.

‘Even with all her mental preparation, some things are bound to disappoint her,’ he thought.

Nicole frowned slightly, “What’s wrong in there?”

“Ellar’s here, and he seems upset,” Lulu whispered.

Nicole’s eyes flashed. ‘Probably because he’s got no news of Patricia.’ Nodding, Nicole entered her office.

Lulu hesitated for a moment before deciding not to follow.

Ellar had been there since early morning, looking distraught. Nicole knew it was about him and Patricia, but it wasn’t her place to get involved.

As soon as Nicole entered, Ellar stood up to greet her,” Nicole.”

“You’re here early. What’s up?” Nicole asked him, her look meaningful.

“I came to ask about Patricia,” Ellar said directly.

“Patricia?” Nicole was puzzled, “I thought you were done worrying about her?”

‘Just the other day he was wishing Patricia and Charlie well. Now he’s concerned again,’ she thought.

“I…,” Ellar hesitated, then said determinedly, “I might not care, but I need to know she’s alright.”

He’d been out of touch with Patricia recently, couldn’t reach her or even know where she was. The more he thought about it, the more worried he became, so he turned to Nicole for help.

“She’s fine, you don’t need to worry,” Nicole replied, choosing her words carefully
