Chapter 2823
"Sure." Nicole agreed, as she did not mind the idea of having anything good for lunch today.
The instant the women arrived at the restaurant, they ordered a hot fondue fountain and dug in happily.
"Harvey must be doomed this time.” Lulu gloated with a smile plastered on her face.
"I guess so. But well still have to keep our guard up before everything has been sorted out," Nicole reminded them calmly.
"Don't sweat it. We're at a crucial stage now, so we can't afford to be lax, even if we want to anyway," Lulu replied in a serious tone of voice.
"Yes." Nicole nodded.
It was not that she doubted what Lulu was capable of; it was just that they had to be extra careful during such a crucial stage, which might make or break their plan.
After giving it some thought, Lulu added, "Thomas seems to be unusually quiet for the past few days. Is he doing fine?"
"He's fine," Nicole answered in a low voice.
Indeed, there were no problems on Thomas' end. All that was plaguing him was this constant cloud of gloom due to Harvey's sorry state of affairs.
Understanding what Nicole was trying to convey, Lulu opted not to further her queries. Instead, she urged Nicole and Patricia to go ahead and eat up while their fondue was still fresh and tasty.
However, it did not take long before their peaceful lunch was interrupted by a call to Patricia's phone.
After getting a glance of the contact number on the screen, Patricia frowned and answered the call. "What's wrong?"
"Patricia? Eliar has been refusing to attend his check-ups. He's suffering a fever now, and I'm not sure what to do. Do you mind coming over?" Ellar's assistant said, sounding helpless and nervous while she was detailing the situation to Patricia.
"He's got a fever?" Patricia asked with a shudder in her voice.
"Yes. I'm worried that there might be an infection in his wound since he has not been going for any of his checkups," Ellar's assistant replied in concern.
Annoyed, Patricia sighed. "Why the hell is he not taking care of himself?"
