Chapter 3043
Following Patricia's lead, the group dispersed, with a few genuinely departing while two covertly shadowed Patricia, tracking the elusive figures.
"Captain, do you think those could be Everett's men?" one of them quietly conjectured.
Patricia let out a derisive snort. "Only one way to find out-follow them."
At this juncture, Everett was the prime suspect in their minds.
Mid-conversation, Patricia's phone buzzed. Casting a quick glance at the screen, she promptly ended the call.
"Captain, should we proceed? We'll keep you in the loop," another team member offered, ready to spring into action.
Patricia hesitated briefly before deciding, "No, let's stick together."
The call she'd ignored was from Martin, likely wondering why she hadn't shown up at his lab yet. She deemed it inappropriate to delve into explanations then and there, planning to address it later.
Upon Patricia's arrival at the lab, it was evident Martin and Cindy were growing restless.
Spotting Patricia, Cindy expressed her concern, "Any difficulties on your way here?" "Just tying up some loose ends at work," Patricia answered, deliberately vague.
Martin eyed Patricia with a hint of concern, "You know, you ought to be taking it easier these days."
Martin was aware that Patricia's reference to 'work' wasn't merely her day- to-day duties at Riddle Corporation; it hinted at something more covert, likely a mission. However, with Cindy in the room, details couldn't be openly discussed.
Patricia caught Martin's look and reassured him, "Don't worry, I'm handling it."
