Chapter 3064
"Come in," Nicole called out.
Patricia entered, looking a bit tired. "Ms. Riddle...”
"Come, join US for lunch first," Nicole suggested, noticing Patricia's busy morning.
"Sure," Patricia agreed, taking a seat on the couch.
After lunch, Patricia began, "There's an issue with the raw materials."
"Everett's behind this again, isn’t he?" Lulu clenched her teeth in frustration.
"Yes," Patricia nodded. "The cargo ship that arrived at the port had the wrong goods. We checked
everything before it left, so something must've gone wrong on the way."
Patricia added after a short pause, "I found out they swapped the goods at the last maintenance stop.
So now, the real goods are probably with
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtEverett."
Nicole squinted a bit. "So, where are they now? Still in San Joto or at the last stop?"
"I've got someone checking, but no updates yet," Patricia replied.
"Let's wait for the news then," Nicole said, her tone getting colder. She figured once she knew where
the materials were, she'd figure out how to get them back.
Lulu expressed her concern, "Doesn't this mean Everett might try to ambush US?" After all, Everett
would likely expect that they would send someone to look for the materials.
"Even if there's an ambush, we'll handle it coolly," Nicole said firmly.
Everett didn't really need those materials, so Nicole knew he was just trying to mess with her. Finding
the cargo shouldn't be too hard, but she bet Everett had some traps ready.
But she wasn't scared. She might not be at a disadvantage against Everett, especially with Charlie and
Zane's people helping out.
Looking up at Patricia, Nicole said, "You've worked hard. Go rest for a bit."
Patricia stood up, saying, "I'll report back as soon as there's news."
Mm," Nicole nodded, watching Patricia leave the office before turning to Lulu, "It's okay now, you go
rest as well."
"Alright," Lulu agreed, standing up and then reminding Nicole, "Since there's nothing we can do right
now, you should rest too."
"It's okay, go ahead," Nicole assured her with a gentle smile, urging Lulu to leave.
After Lulu left, Nicole leaned against the couch, her gaze growing increasingly deep.
Nicole's phone rang, jolting her out of her thoughts. She quickly answered," Hey, Martin."
"Nicole, today's when Patricia's supposed to stop her treatment for her face. Her wound should be all
healed up after today. Will you be able to swing by after work?" Martin's voice carried a hint of
uncertainty.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Sure thing, we'll be there," Nicole replied, feeling a bit confused by Martin's tone.
"Good to hear. We really can't afford any more delays this time," Martin said with a sigh of relief.
Nicole frowned slightly, starting to understand what Martin was getting at. She probed, "Are you saying
Patricia missed her treatment last time?"
"Yeah, didn't you know?" Martin sounded surprised.
Nicole let out a sigh. "Okay, got it. I'll make sure to remind her after work."
"Will both of you be coming together then?" Martin asked once more.
"Yeah, well both be there," Nicole confirmed.
Knowing this was Patricia's last treatment session, Nicole felt a sense of importance about being there
to see it through. If it worked, Patricia's face would finally be all better.
"Alright, let's meet up after work."
"Mm-hmm, see you then."
After hanging up, Nicole couldn't shake a slight frown. She couldn't help but wonder why Patricia had
missed her treatment. 'Is there something more important than her treatment?’ she thought to herself.
