Chapter 2784
With that thought in mind, Ellar stopped his search for Patricia and headed off to stay in Nicole's office.
Soon, dusk arrived, announcing the end of the workday. Ellar would finally get to see Patricia, as he had planned.
After exiting the elevator, the group arrived in the lobby on the first floor.
"Nicole? Spencer will be here to pick me up. I won't be walking with you. See you at the restaurant later." Lulu smiled and waved goodbye to Nicole.
"Sure, see you later," Nicole smirked.
Once Lulu had split from the group, Ellar announced, "Let's go!"
"I'll drive," Patricia said, and went off to the parking lot to get the car.
By the time Nicole and Ellar reached the entrance, Patricia was already there waiting in the car. After they had all gotten in, Patricia drove them to the restaurant Ellar had booked.
Upon arrival, a bunch of people entered the private room Ellar had booked. He was rendered speechless the instant he saw the room filled to the brim with guests.
'Patricia really isn't messing around. She literally invited an entire crowd. Even the secretary is here,' he thought.
Fortunately, Ellar had made the necessary preparations beforehand by bagging the largest room. Otherwise, there would not be enough space for everyone.
Patricia, on the other hand, was rather pleased to see the look of shock on Ellar’s face after a long, annoying day at work. 'Pfft. I hope you like buying dinner for an entire crowd. Who in their right mind would believe your crap about expressing your gratitude for everyone anyway? I already knew your intentions from the very beginning.'
Ellar’s intentions were as clear as day to her, even after she had said and done much to let him know that she was not interested in him. She was wondering if her act of rejection was not clear enough to him since Ellar had not reacted to it in any significant way.
"Ms. Riddle," everyone stood up and greeted her when Nicole entered.
"Sit down, please. There's no need to be formal. Ellar just wanted to thank everyone with a celebration," Nicole smiled.
