My Wife is a Hacker (Nicole Riddle and Jared) novel Chapter 3254

Chapter 3254

Nicole understood Lulu and Patricia’s worries, but she wasn't too concerned. She knew about Lawrence's past deeds and felt in control.

At first, she respected Lawrence because she thought she owed him for saving her life. But after discovering it was all manipulation, she stopped worrying about that debt.

Knowing Lawrence was after the Fire Crest and Water Crest, and probably had already acted, Nicole chose to wait and see what would happen. She knew soon it would be clear who the winner or loser would be.

After leaving Nicole's office, Lulu turned to Patricia.

"Patricia, you're staying to protect Nicole. What about Ellar, aren't you going back there?" Lulu asked.

"My primary duty is here, and everything at BayCorp has stabilized; they don't need me there anymore," Patricia replied, her priority clearly being Nicole's safety at the moment.

"And what about you and Ellar? What's going on with you two?" Lulu probed further.

"Us?" Patricia bit her lip slightly, "There's nothing going on between US." "Oh," Lulu responded, then added, "I won't keep you any longer, I'll get back to work."

As Lulu entered her office, Patricia was puzzled by Lulu's recent behavior, wondering, 'Why is Lulu asking me all these odd questions? What's so interesting about me and Ellarto her?'

Lulu liked to gossip, but this was different.

Patricia felt uneasy, thinking, 'Is something up with Ellar?'

"Why are you here?" Ellar was visibly surprised to see her.

"I have something to ask you," Patricia got straight to the point. "Have you been keeping something from me lately?"

Ellar felt a jolt of panic. 'How did Patricia find out?' He thought he had been discreet, with only his assistant involved in the covert tasks he had arranged.

"Is there really something?" Patricia's voice rose slightly when Ellar remained silent.

After a moment's hesitation, Ellar tried to maintain a calm faqade. "No, what could I possibly be hiding?"

The uncertainty in his voice didn't escape Patricia, and the subtle evasion did nothing to ease her growing suspicion. Her instincts told her that something was amiss, prompting her resolve to get to the bottom of it.
