Chapter 3142
Charlie's expression stiffened momentarily but soon returned to normal. Both understood
each other's thoughts and thus didn't delve further into conversation.
"How have things been on your end lately?" Charlie asked Patricia.
"Pretty smooth, overall," Patricia responded. "Did you call me over tonight because you
found something?" "Yes," Charlie said, pointing toward a restaurant not far ahead. "Our
person is in there."
Patricia frowned slightly, "Are you sure he arranged to meet Doretta?" "Yes, Doretta is
definitely showing up tonight," Charlie said, his gaze fixed on the restaurant.
After a short wait, Doretta finally appeared.
"She actually showed up," Patricia remarked, her tone slightly icy.
"Doretta is starting at BayCorp tomorrow. Everett must have assigned her a task, probably
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtrelated to the company's project. Are you guys prepared to counter it?" Charlie asked.
"Yes," Patricia replied, a faint smile playing on her lips as she thought about Ellar's plan.
Seeing Patricia's smile, Charlie's eyes narrowed slightly. 'It's unusual for Patricia to smile
during a mission. What's different today?’
Realizing Charlie had noticed her reaction, Patricia coughed awkwardly and then returned
to her usual self, saying, 'Til get closer for a better look." "Go ahead," Charlie whispered.
"I'll keep watch outside." "Okay," Patricia murmured, swiftly moving to a hidden spot
where she quickly disguised herself.
After the disguise, Patricia looked entirely different, making it impossible for anyone to
recognize her.
Once she was sure everything was set, Patricia entered the restaurant.
She chose a seat near Doretta, positioning herself with her back to her so she could hear
Doretta and her companion without being seen. This positioning made it hard for Doretta
to see Patricia's face.
She overheard the man on the other side lower his voice, asking, "Will they notice?"
"Everyone at the Riddle residence is asleep. I got out through the window; no one will
notice," Doretta replied.
The man appeared surprised by Doretta's response, giving her a look that conveyed doubt
about her ability to escape without injury, given her lack of physical strength.
"Don't you know about sheets?" Doretta shot back, implying that she had used sheets to
help her descend and was aware of the skepticism surrounding her escape.
After listening to Doretta's explanation, the man appeared convinced and nodded. "As
long as you weren't discovered, that's good." "Has your boss agreed to my request?"
Doretta quickly asked, cutting to the chase and showing no interest in further idle talk.
"I've asked, and he agreed. BayCorp will be under your management in the future," the
man replied.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmDoretta seemed pleased, her voice carrying a hint of triumph as she said," Rest assured, I
will deliver what you want in perfect condition." "That's best. Otherwise, you'll know the
consequences of deceiving him or letting him down," the man said before standing up and
leaving.
Patricia sensed the person was leaving. Her gaze darkened slightly as she realized
Doretta's goal.
The "boss" mentioned must be Everett, and the object of desire naturally related to the
project Patricia was involved in. What surprised Patricia was the scale of Doretta's
ambition.
After Nicole's warning that morning, Patricia was already surprised, but hearing it firsthand
deepened her understanding of why Doretta agreed to cooperate with them.
So, It was likely that Doretta was not forced to team up with Everett's side because of
threats, but simply because they could fulfill her ambitions.
