Chapter 3178
Deep down, Ellar knew that they couldn't keep their situation a secret much
longer, but selfishly, he thought, “if we can sustain it for one more day, then why
not?’ He was aware that this was all a dream for him, and there would come a
time to wake up, so he wished to dream a little longer.
Patricia looked at Ellar, her lips slightly bitten in hesitation, unsure of what to do.
Then came a knock at the door, and both of them turned to look.
“Ellar, Patricia." Doretta stood at the doorway, hesitating as if wanting to come in
but appearing somewhat awkward.
“What is it?"
Ellar internally clenched his teeth but maintained a neutral tone.
“It's about some work..."
Doretta glanced toward Patricia, seeming a bit troubled.
Understanding the cue, Patricia looked at Ellar.
"I'll step out then."
“Then what we were discussing is settled," Ellar quickly added.
Patricia gave Ellar a look, but couldn't refuse in front of Doretta, so she left.
Ellar's lips curled slightly; he took that as Patricia agreeing.
“Ellar, what were you guys talking about?" Doretta asked with apparent curiosity.
Observing Doretta's seemingly innocent expression, as if she was just asking
casually, Ellar's eyes narrowed slightly. He knew this innocence was just a
facade; the real Doretta wasn't like this.
"My mom invited Patricia over for dinner tonight," Ellar responded as if it was just
a casual remark.
“Oh, is that so?"
Doretta then shifted the conversation.
“I came to find Ellar because the client I've been leading on that project was very
satisfied and expressed interest in signing the contract. They want to invite us to
dinner tonight, so Ellar..."
"I won't go.You represent the company,” Ellar shrugged.
"As you can see, I already have plans.”
“But the client specifically requested to meet you,"
Doretta pressed, somewhat troubled.
Ellar smiled.
"I believe you are fully capable on your own."
Doretta bit her lip, seeming to ponder for a moment before reluctantly agreeing,
“Alright then."
"Okay."
After Ellar responded, he returned to his desk and sat down, ready to work.
Seeing this, Doretta said goodbye and left.
Ellar sneered quietly.
He knew Doretta had come to probe for information and was also aware that
Doretta's excuse for not coming home tonight was probably to meet with
someone named Hexton, likely to report back on his situation.
“In that case, why not...’ An idea flashed through Ellar's mind, and he pressed the
intercom to make a call.
Following that, the entire secretarial department became busy, with documents
being brought in and out.
The atmosphere in the company grew more tense...
The end of the workday approached at Riddle Corporation.
"Nicole, who would have thought Ellar could be so resourceful? It's a waste he's
not an actor,"
Lulu chuckled, shaking her head.
“But it must have been hard on his secretaries, being so busy."

“Oh," Nicole nodded, a glint of understanding in her eyes.
As it was about time, the two of them continued talking while leaving the office.
"Is Jared picking you up later?" Lulu casually asked.
