Patricia wanted to keep her relationship with Ellar discreet because she didn't
want to leave when she felt she needed to be there for Nicole.
Nicole gave her a reassuring smile, "It's fine, don't worry." But Patricia was firm.
"No! Ellar agrees that I should stay.
It's important for me to be here with you right now.” She was determined to stay,
not just because of the risks facing Nicole, but also because she felt a strong
sense of duty and loyalty.
Nicole saw how determined Patricia was, thought for a bit, and then agreed,
"Okay, stay for now.

Patricia replied, and left the room.
Nicole watched her go, moved by the care and commitment Patricia and Ellar
had for her.
“After this is all over, I'll move Patricia to BayCorp.

anticipating not only Everett's failure but also the subsequent threats to his own
plans.
Now, left with no other choice, he had to intervene personally.
He contemplated the future, envisioning the downfall of the Johnston Group once
he acquired the Fire Crest and Water Crest.
' Then, let's see how Jared will stand against me." Imagining a future without
Jared, envisioning himself leaving San Joto with Nicole, never to return,
Lawrence felt a sense of satisfaction.
The tumultuous journey seemed less significant, provided the outcome was
favorable; that was all that mattered to him.

Nicole got to her office like she always does.
Just after she got settled, Patricia came in and said, "Ms.
