My Wife Act Differently Behind Me

Chapter 2805

"I am the interim secretary assigned to help you out. I will be replacing Patricia until she returns," the

secretary explained.

Upon hearing this, Nicole understood that Jared must have assigned this secretary to help her out with

the tasks that Patricia had always handled. The fact that she had shown up to sort through the

documents was the reason as to why Nicole had thought for a second that Patricia was back.

As it turned out, Jared had hired someone who mirrored her and Patricia's work habits and patterns.

Everything was set up exactly like when Patricia was still here, which in turn made things easier for her.

Feeling a sense of warmth and appreciation in her heart, Nicole smiled.

She then instructed the secretary, "Alright. There's nothing here for now.

You may leave." "Yes," the secretary said, and left the room thereafter.

Nicole walked to her desk, grabbed the stack of files with a look of amusement, and began working in a

good mood. With Jared's arrangements, Nicole felt that everything had run, and would run smoothly

today.

Meanwhile, Harvey was leaning back against his chair, reading the report handed over to him by the

staff of Ellison Group. His face turned pale as he realized the severity of the situation he was in.

"After all the hard work, should this be the result?!" Harvey glared at his assistant, his voice brimming

with anger.

Frightened, the assistant shrank back and said, "l-l didn't expect things to turn out this way."

As it turned out, Riddle Corporation had pretended to partner with Ellison Group and had only signed

small, insignificant contracts with them. No one could have expected that Riddle Corporation would

snatch away a large number of major projects from Ellison Group. All of the significant projects Ellison

Group had anticipated had all been bagged by Riddle Corporation under the leadership of Nicole. Now,

his company had been left without any resources for any upcoming projects, putting their financial

chain at the risk of breaking.

Harvey slammed the report onto the table and roared, "God damn it! Is there nothing you can think of?”

'Even if they could not predict that the Riddles would steal our projects, they could have used their

brains when making important decisions!' he fumed.

Trembling, his assistant apologized, "Mr. Ellison, what should we do now?"

If they did not come up with a solution soon, Ellison Group would be in dire straits.

Staring at the assistant with cold fury in his eyes, Harvey sneered. "Are you all good-for-nothing

imbeciles?"

The assistant remained silent and kept his head hanging low. All he could do was quietly wait for

Harvey's instructions.

A furious Harvey then forced himself to calm down. Throwing a temper tantrum like this was the last

thing he needed to do at the moment. He needed to find a solution, for he could not allow Ellison Group

to fall like this.

After a moment, Harvey ordered the assistant, "Go and contact several CEOs. Tell them I'm inviting

them to dinner." "Yes," The assistant quickly responded and turned away.

Harvey was overwhelmed with frustration at the moment. He had failed to anticipate Nicole's moves,

and as a result, she had played him like a fiddle once more. Nicole today was still as calm, ruthless,

and shrewd as she was back then. For now, he could only invite a few CEOs over to see if there was

any room to turn the tables around. He could afford to deal with other issues later on.

As the sun set, everyone left their workplaces and gathered at the restaurant.

"Wow, Cherry, why did you choose such a high-end place?" Lulu exclaimed after taking a seat.

"It's alright. After all, I've caused a fair bit of trouble for everyone during this period of time. Since I'm

leaving for real this time, I wanted to treat everyone to something nice. A sincere token of appreciation NôvelDrama.Org (C) content.

for everyone's help and care," Cherry said earnestly.

"Oh, don't be so sentimental. It's not like you're never coming back," Lulu comforted Cherry.

"I may not come back, at least not in the foreseeable future," Cherry sighed. "What I did probably

disappointed my family to their very core. I'll have to wait for them to cool down before I can come

back."

The room instantly fell silent, with everyone beginning to share a sense of sympathy for Cherry and her

situation.

"Don't be sad. They will forgive you soon. After all, they love you," Tia said, comforting Cherry.
