Chapter 3047
The proposal seemed perfect at first glance, but its perfection was what made it suspicious.
Nicole thought, 'Let's wait for Lulu's investigation. In times like these, being cautious is always wise.'
After leaving Nicole's office, Ellar went straight to find Patricia.
"Do you need something?" Patricia asked, maintaining a professional calm.
"What happened to your arm?" Ellar pressed, concerned, wondering, 'How can she get hurt doing office work?' "It's nothing," Patricia instinctively moved her arm under the table, trying to keep it hidden.
Ellar moved closer to Patricia, giving her a look. "Hey, Patricia, don't stress.
I tried to stay away so you could have a chill and happy life without me."
"I'm okay," Patricia tried to calm herself, making it seem like everything was cool.
Ellar softly took Patricia's arm, checking the injury. "Does this seem 'okay' to you?" "Just a small injury," Patricia said, trying to act like it was no big deal.
Inside, though, her heart was all over the place, torn between wanting space from Ellar and being afraid that any move might spill her feelings.
"Patricia, if you're having trouble looking after yourself, I might just stick around, you know, be a part of your life," Ellar said, his tone sort of sounding like a warning.
He couldn't really express how hard it was for him to stay away, not catching sight of her, holding back the urge to shadow her. Many times, he came close to giving in, just wanting to quietly check on her, but he always managed to resist. He wished her safety, happiness, and well-being, wanting her to have her own life undisturbed.
Patricia was so surprised by his words that her eyes got wide, and her mouth opened a bit, but no words came out.
Seeing her quiet, El I ar took a deep look at Patricia and said, "Take care of yourself." After saying that, he turned and walked away with heavy steps.
Only then did Patricia raise her head to watch him leave, her eyes full of a mix of emotions.
A pang of sadness hit Patricia's heart, and her hand unconsciously clenched, accidentally tugging on her arm wound.
"Ouch," the sharp pain brought Patricia back to reality.
'Maybe it's for the best. He deserves someone who can have a calm and happy life with him till they're old. Surely, he'll find that person and have a loving and joyful life forever.’
After leaving Patricia's office, Ellar couldn't help but clutch his chest. He had been so worked up just now, almost losing his cool in front of Patricia.
