Chapter 2723
Nicole looked up at Jared, confused. "What do you mean when you say leave it to them?"
"Yeah, it could be a trap, so it'll be much safer to let them handle it," Jared clarified. 'If this is just a conspiracy
targeted at Nicole, Charlie and Patricia can deal with it. But if Ellar really is in danger, I won't sit idly by and let it happen.'
Nicole nodded at Jared's explanation. "Okay, but Why don't you let Patricia handle it alone and get Charlie to cover for you?"
'Charlie should be stationed near Jared, and in the event that someone tries to go after Jared, he would be there in the nick of time to ensure Jared's safety. I think this is the easiest way to ensure that everyone is protected and secured,' Nicole thought.
"That's fine by me too," Jared replied before summoning Max over to pass the orders down to Charlie.
Then, he darted a glance at his wristwatch. "Let's have lunch before you head back to the office.’
After happily agreeing to it, Nicole stayed for lunch with Jared.
Meanwhile, Max had just briefed Charlie and Patricia on their new tasks, to which they responded in unison, "Yes, sir."
"You have to keep an eye on this fella. We don't know what they will do. You must be on the alert at all times," Patricia warned Charlie.
Charlie then nodded and looked at Patricia. "You too."
"Okay, let's talk about how we can strategize this. It's way too obvious that they're trying to lure Nicole into their trap by using our concern for Ellar against us all. I wonder if he'll bite..." said Max as he thought, 'If Ellar is wise enough to realize that it's a trap, things will be much easier for us.'
"I'll inform Ellar about this," Patricia decided after a few seconds of silence. 'Ellar should be prepared for this either way. He needs to protect himself and everyone else around him from imminent danger,'
"Can we trust this guy, Ellar?" asked Charlie with a hint of hesitation in his voice.
