Chapter 3145
"You're right," Ellar said, shaking his head. He felt his heart grow cold as he thought about Doretta's actions.
Emma had trusted Doretta so much and had treated her so kindly, only for Doretta to betray them like this.
Ell ar might not be too upset, but Emma would surely be heartbroken when everything became known.
"Hey," Patricia said, noticing Ellar staring off into space, fixated on Doretta. She gently nudged him, frowning.
"Remember, create more opportunities for her to act," Patricia suggested, implying that he shouldn't guard the office too closely and arouse Doretta's suspicions.
"Got it. I've planned to give her a chance at lunch," Ellar replied with a smile.
"Lunch?" Patricia frowned, concerned that it might be too soon since Doretta had just arrived.
Ellar purposely raised his voice when he said, "I've made a reservation for lunch. I'll come find you when it's break time."
Patricia rolled her eyes at Ellar, frustrated but unable to show it, and silently left with her documents.
She was beginning to suspect that Ellar was doing this on purpose. But the words were already out, and they had to go out for lunch to avoid raising Doretta's suspicions.
As noon approached, Ellar and Patricia were gearing up to head out when Doretta's voice halted them. "Ellar, Patricia."
Doretta then inquired, "Are you two heading out?" "For lunch," Ellar said matter-of-factly.
