Chapter 3118
After a moment's thought, Patricia started the car and followed the man.
At a corner, the man removed his hat, glanced around with a smug look, then climbed into a car parked by the roadside and drove off. Patricia snapped photos of both the man and his car, sending them straight to Charlie with instructions to dig deeper.
Later, Patricia made her way to El lap’s office.
"What brings you here?" El lap's surprise at seeing her was tinged with a note of happiness.
"Nicole asked me to keep an eye on things here," Patricia said, pausing before asking, "Everything alright on your end?"
"Absolutely, everything's running smoothly," Ellar assured her.
Patricia's brows knit together slightly. "No unusual incidents, or unexpected visitors?"
Having just seen Doretta downstairs, she couldn't help but speculate,' Doretta's visit... was it to see Ellar? And that man she was dealing with seemed off. Could there be more to Doretta than meets the eye?'
El lar, taken aback, responded, "As far as I'm aware, all is normal. Did you notice something?"
He pondered, 'Patricia seems unusually on guard. What's she picked up on that I've missed?'
Seeing El lap's confusion, Patricia could only sigh, dismissing it with, "It's nothing."
Realizing he was oblivious, Patricia decided not to press further. Without concrete proof, sharing her suspicions seemed pointless. She resolved to unravel the mystery herself, silently noting he might not take her word for it anyway.
"Don't worry, I've got someone watching over the company. I won't let anyone get the upper hand," El lap tried to reassure her, a smile playing on his lips.
His statement was an attempt to show he had grown, no longer in constant need of her protection.
But seeing him somewhat like a child seeking approval irked Patricia. 'He's already a target, yet he boasts of security.'
