“It's just dinnertime; let's have dinner together,” Everett suggested, eyeing
Doretta closely. He was quietly impressed. “She’s so composed, exactly the type
who could turn on Emma and Ellar.’ “Mr. Wright, based on what I've seen, Ellar is
in a tight spot but is trying to hide it,” Doretta got straight to the point. “He’s spent
the afternoon scheming to lessen BayCorp’s losses.”
“What do you mean?” Everett's curiosity piqued, his eyebrows arching.
Doretta let out a sigh. “It's unfortunate he believes he’s outsmarting everyone,
thinking he can offload BayCorp’s assets now. You wouldn't let that happen,
would you, Mr. Wright?”
Everett's smirk was telling. “You're spot-on.” Allowing Ell ar any leeway was out
of the question. His plan was to take everything BayCorp had.
“That's reassuring,” Doretta remarked, getting up. “I'll leave you to your dinner
then.”
“You're not joining?” Everett inquired.
Doretta shook her head and said, “No, thank you. I just came to tell you about my
work. Also, it’s best not to hang out with you too long. Someone might be
watching.”
Everett watched her leave, his gaze laden with thought.
“Sir, should we trust her intel?” Jerry whispered cautiously.
Everett's response was icy. “She has nothing to gain by lying.” It would be
pointless for her to deceive him.
Jerry looked concerned. “So, Ellar is merely stalling?”
“We act tomorrow,” declared Everett, his determination evident.
“Understood,” Jerry agreed.
They had to move quickly if Doretta’s information was accurate. Any delay might
allow Ellar to complete his asset shuffle, rendering their efforts futile.
The next day was sunny and bright.
Early in the morning, Patricia told Nicole about what happened last night.
“Be careful,” Nicole told her.
“I will,” Patricia replied.
After the call, Nicole looked worried. “Everett might act today.”
“You think Everett believed Doretta?” Lulu asked, looking concerned.

“The next steps depend on Patricia and Ellar,” Nicole said seriously.
Lulu agreed, “It's probably the best choice, even if Doretta seems to get away
with it.”
Nicole smiled slightly. “She did help US, and we didn’t lose anything.”
