Chapter 3004

Nicole sat at her desk, carefully reviewing the treatment data Martin had provided. She focused on it, determined to understand every detail.

At some point, a glass of milk appeared next to her.

"It's late; you can continue tomorrow," Jared's voice came from nearby.

Nicole looked up and smiled. "Alright."

After she finished the milk, Nicole quickly cleaned up and prepared to rest.

Later, as Jared finished his shower, he noticed Nicole gazing outside, captivated by the night sky.

"What are you looking at?" Jared asked quietly.

"Nothing, just daydreaming," Nicole replied, turning toward Jared with a smile.

Jared gently ruffled her hair, speaking softly, "Get some rest."

"Mhm," she responded, feeling a sense of calm. She pulled the covers over herself to lie down and thought to herself, 1 Things need to be done step by step, no rush.1

Jared hugged Nicole, giving her a kiss on her forehead, and softly patted her back. "Time to rest."

Nicole cozily nestled in Jared's embrace, shutting her eyes.

The following day, clouds covered the sky, suggesting rain. The somber weather appeared to dampen everyone's spirits.

Nicole got to the office ahead of time, and just as she stepped in, Lulu entered with a lack of energy. "Feels like heavy rain's on its way."

"Most likely," Nicole replied, glancing at the sky.

"A dull day brings down the mood," Lulu said with a sigh and a shrug.

"If it gets too tough, feel free to head back and relax," Nicole suggested, half-jokingly, as she glanced at Lulu. With no urgent tasks waiting, Nicole felt Lulu's presence wasn't necessary.

Lulu shook her head. 'No, there's still work to be done." She patted the documents on Nicole's desk and added, "These are yours; mine are already on my desk."

"If you don't want to go back, then get busy. When you're weary, just head home and relax," Nicole suggested with a smile.

"Alright!" Lulu turned cheerfully and exited.

Time passed swiftly in the midst of their work, and before they knew it, it was noon.

Lulu knocked on the door and peeked in, asking, "Want to grab some lunch?"

Nicole glanced out the window and remarked, "Looks like rain. Maybe we should stay in."

"Yeah, good call. I'll just order some food," Lulu suggested, pulling out her phone to place a food delivery order.

A knock on the door interrupted their conversation.

"Who's there?" Lulu opened the door, surprised to find Patricia. "Hey, Patricia! What brings you here?"

"I need to talk to Ms. Riddle," Patricia explained with a tinge of sadness.

"Sure, come on in," Lulu stepped aside to let Patricia enter.

Sensing Patricia's somber mood, Lulu felt a bit uneasy. 'What could be bothering her?'

Once inside, Patricia approached Nicole, getting straight to the point. "Is it true about Ellar?"

"What happened to Ellar?" Lulu asked, puzzled.

Ignoring Lulu's question, Patricia, her eyes reddened, turned to Nicole, waiting for an answer.

"How did you find out?" Nicole inquired, aware of what Patricia meant but unsure about the source of the information.
