My Wife is a Hacker (Nicole Riddle and Jared) novel Chapter 3178

Chapter 3178

Deep down, Ellar knew that they couldn't keep their situation a secret much longer, but selfishly, he thought, 'if we can sustain it for one more day, then why not?'

He was aware that this was all a dream for him, and there would come a time to wake up, so he wished to dream a little longer.

Patricia looked at Ellar, her lips slightly bitten in hesitation, unsure of what to do.

Then came a knock at the door, and both of them turned to look.

"Ellar, Patricia." Doretta stood at the doorway, hesitating as if wanting to come in but appearing somewhat awkward.

"What is it?" Ellar internally clenched his teeth but maintained a neutral tone.

"It's about some work..." Doretta glanced toward Patricia, seeming a bit troubled.

Understanding the cue, Patricia looked at Ellar. "I'll step out then." "Then what we were discussing is settled," Ellar quickly added.

Patricia gave Ellar a look, but couldn't refuse in front of Doretta, so she left.

Ellar's lips curled slightly; he took that as Patricia agreeing.

"Ellar, what were you guys talking about?" Doretta asked with apparent curiosity.

Observing Doretta's seemingly innocent expression, as if she was just asking casually, Ellar's eyes narrowed slightly. He knew this innocence was just a fagade; the real Doretta wasn't like this.

"My mom invited Patricia over for dinner tonight," Ellar responded as if it was just a casual remark.

"Nicole, who would have thought Ellar could be so resourceful? It's a waste he's not an actor," Lulu chuckled, shaking her head. "But it must have been hard on his secretaries, being so busy." "It's all fake documents, so it shouldn't be too busy," Nicole shrugged, indicating that the hustle was only for show.

"It's tough on those secretaries to play along with Ellar's act," Lulu remarked.

After organizing the files on her desk, Nicole stood up. "Doretta must have made a move, prompting Ellar to act this way."

"I heard Doretta isn't coming home tonight, probably off to report to her master," Lulu said with a look of disdain.

"Oh," Nicole nodded, a glint of understanding in her eyes.

As it was about time, the two of them continued talking while leaving the office.

"Is Jared picking you up later?" Lulu casually asked.
