Chapter 2732

"Perhaps my actions today were too sudden, but this is the most genuine I've ever been with anyone. You can reject me, but I won't give in so easily," Ellar declared resolutely.

What he felt for her, he had never felt with any other woman before. Indeed, Patricia was the only one who had made him feel this way before. He immediately knew she was unique the first time he saw her.

He was set on not giving up after he had determined that his feelings for her were true. Since she did not have a boyfriend, he would make full use of his sincerity to win her over and make her accept him. Patricia simply looked at him in return, tongue-tied.

She was truly at a loss on what to say, so she told him," We're not compatible."

"If you haven't tried, you'll never know. We haven't spent time together, so how sure are you that we're not compatible? As long as you don't already have a boyfriend, I won't give up," Ellar insisted. Patricia was helpless. She and Ellar were from completely different worlds, and that one particular mission was the only reason for their interaction. Once it ended, they would have little to no contact. Patricia sighed, not wanting to explain anything to him. Perhaps they would experience a phase of radio silence once her task to protect him was over, and then, Ellar would come to understand what the word, 'incompatible' meant.

As Patricia turned to walk away, she suddenly noticed a flash of light. Familiar with what the color of the light signified, she instinctively shoved Ellar aside.

"Ugh." She frowned as she felt a surge of pain in her arm.

In a swift motion, she blocked the hit and shielded Ellar by putting herself before him.

Everything had happened in an instant, leaving Ellar in a daze and oblivious to what just transpired.

All he knew was that Patricia had pushed him, and that something had flashed before his eyes. 'What happened?'

"You're a hotshot who has never missed, but you seem to have encountered a formidable opponent this time."

"Shut up. Let's see whose hands that kid falls into later."

"Not yours, that's for sure."

A group of men in black suits appeared, bickering among themselves as they strode over to the duo.

"Patricia, what's going on?" Ellar stepped out from behind her, finally realizing that something was amiss.

Instantly, Patricia pulled him back and warned him, "Stand behind me, and don't move."

The men in black surrounded the duo, after which their leader warned, "This woman is no ordinary pushover. Be careful, everyone."

"We didn't expect this pretty boy to have someone so capable by his side."

"Perhaps the information we've been given is unreliable."

"Patricia? Should we call for help?" Ellar anxiously suggested, as he dared not act against Patricia's words.

Frowning, Patricia whispered, "Yeah, let's do it."

She could probably handle the situation if she was alone, but as of now, she had the double duty of protecting Ellar, who knew nothing about combat and self-defense. Besides, the fact that their target was Ellar only served to dampen her confidence in her abilities.

She believed that Nicole would be in hot soup if Ellar ended up being captured by these men.

Soon after, Patricia made a decision. Now was not the time to be a hero, for there was no room for even the tiniest of mistakes. The only thing she could do was to stall and buy them both some time until their backup arrived.

As soon as Ellar had whipped his phone out, the men immediately realized what he was up to, and lunged at them.

Ellar had figured that it would be extremely difficult for Patricia to deal with those men while ensuring his safety. He wanted to help, but he knew full well what his shortcomings were. All he could do was grit his teeth, call for backup, and silently pray for help to arrive soon.

After he had hung up, he stared at Patricia, who was struggling to hold on. He was trembling as he kept his eyes fixed on her.
