Chapter 3174
"Well just have to wait then,' Lulu sighed.
Nicole smiled, a curve playing on her lips. "Don't worry about it anymore. Mom mentioned this morning that Steve might not be able to come to the office for a while. So, I was thinking of handing over Steve's responsibilities to you."
"Oh, sure," Lulu readily agreed, understanding that Sally must be close to her due date.
"You've had some experience with Steve's tasks before, and we haven't involved him in any new projects lately. So, taking over shouldn't be a problem for you," Nicole reasoned, feeling that Lulu was the right choice.
"Don't worry, I can handle it.” Knowing that Steve would soon be on leave, she had already prepared herself to take over his duties.
She had also thought it through-there was so much going on in the company, and with Nicole needing to deal with Everett's matters, taking some of the load off seemed like the only thing she could do.
"That's the best. When Steve comes back from his leave, he should be able to easily resume his work," Nicole said, pleased.
Lulu nodded. "I'll try to get all the work done, so it'll be easier for Steve when he returns."
"Good, and if it gets too tough, you can always ask someone for help." Nicole worried that Lulu might be overwhelmed with too much work.
"I understand." Lulu reassured her, not wanting Nicole to worry, but she was determined to do her best.
Inside Ellar's office in BayCorp, the atmosphere was tense and oppressive.
As Ellar entered his office, he found Everett sitting in his chair.
"When did you get here?" Ellar frowned, trying to keep his tone even.
