My Wife is a Hacker (Nicole Riddle and Jared) novel Chapter 2783

Chapter 2783

"Oh, you can just rest. Don't mind me," Ellar compromised.

Then, he placed the glass of water down and took five steps back away from her.

Having had it up to here with him, Patricia rolled her eyes and stared at Ellar with a look of helplessness. "Please get out."

"Come on. I swear I'll stay quiet and not bother you," Ellar protested, and took another five steps back.

Patricia glared at him, frustrated by his actions. To her, his mere presence was a disturbance in itself. Usually, there was nothing in the office that would constitute a challenge for her. However, she could barely focus on her work today, and it was all because of Ellar being an annoyance, much like a fly buzzing around her ear.

After drawing a deep breath, Patricia suppressed her urge to lash out, and with a measure of calm, she said, "Get...out."

"Wait, I promise not to come near you again," Ellar pleaded.

As long as Patricia did not make him leave, Ellar was content to do nothing but see her work.

Patricia, however, refused to agree to Ellar's request. Instead, she maintained her glare at him without uttering another word.

Ellar knew Patricia was not going to compromise, but he really did not want to leave, so he bit his lips and crouched down behind the couch. "I promise you won't see me. Is this alright?"

It was at this point that Patricia was on the verge of throwing the stack of files in her hand at him out of frustration. Ellar had deliberately come here to piss her off.

"Suit yourself," Patricia said.

Defeated, Patricia stormed out of her office, deciding that she would leave if Ellar wanted to stay.

After hurrying out of her office, Patricia went to Lulu's.

"Huh? Why are you here?" Lulu asked.

Ellar's look of anxiety, coupled with his frantic search for Patricia, had made it obvious that something was wrong. Understandably, Ellar, who had always shadowed Nicole, had taken a liking for tough and independent women such as the likes of Patricia. The only difference was that Ellar had grown up, and was now able to stand on his own.

In fact, Lulu found them to be quite a cute match.

Lulu turned to stare at Patricia, only to find her busy with her work. So, she shrugged her shoulders and dropped the conversation.

Meanwhile, Ellar had gone to ask Nicole's secretary about Patricia's whereabouts after he could not find her anywhere.

"I saw Patricia going into Lulu's office just now," the secretary replied.

Ellar shot Lulu's office a glance, and it just so happened that Lulu was also looking outside with a smirk.

Defeated, he furrowed his brows and headed to Nicole's office. Since Patricia was eluding him, it would be stupid for him to follow her around and badger her again. If he went to Lulu's office, Patricia might just storm off again and find another place to hide.
