My Wife Act Differently Behind Me
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.

"Oh, is that so?" Doretta then shifted the conversation. "I came to replace Ellar because the client I've been leading on that project was very satisfied and expressed interest in signing the contract. They want to invite US to dinner tonight, so Ellar..." "I won't go. You represent the company," Ellar shrugged. "As you can see, I already have plans." "But the client specifically requested to meet you," Doretta pressed, somewhat troubled.

Ellar smiled. "I believe you are fully capable on your own."

Doretta bit her lip, seeming to ponder for a moment before reluctantly agreeing, "Alright then." "Okay." After Ell ar responded, he returned to his desk and sat down, ready to work.

Seeing this, Doretta said goodbye and left.

Ellar sneered quietly. He knew Doretta had come to probe for information and was also aware that Doretta's excuse for not coming home tonight was probably to meet with someone named Hexton, likely to report back on his situation.

'In that case, why not...' An idea flashed through Ellar's mind, and he pressed the intercom to make a call.

Following that, the entire secretarial department became busy, with documents being brought in and out. The atmosphere in the company grew more tense...

The end of the workday approached at Riddle Corporation.

"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.
