Lulu grinned. “I know. But what if Patricia becomes the female CEO of BayCorp one day?”
Nicole shot Lulu a frown and with a sneer, she replied, “Only you would think of that.”
“Hehe, preparations are still in order, right? We don’t want to be caught off guard later on, do we?” Lulu laughed.
‘ Well, let’s hope so. Alright, back to work,” Nicole said, dismissing Lulu.
“Okay,” Lulu turned around and exited the office.
Nicole then glanced over at the stack of documents on the table, picked up one, and got busy with it.
Meanwhile, in the CEO’s office at Ellison Group, Harvey had been sitting at his desk, wide-eyed and motionless after he was done with his work, as if the thoughts darting across his mind had overwhelmed him.
“Are you okay, Mr. Ellison?” his assistant asked cautiously.
He had not barked any orders or given any instructions in over thirty minutes now, so his assistant had been left to wonder what was going on.
Today was his first day of recovery, and yet he had been left to take care of the mounting workload he had been assigned. Although it was stressful, Harvey had demonstrated that he was more than capable of dealing with all of it, as evidenced by the stack of papers right at the middle of his desk.
In response, Harvey raised his eyes to look at the assistant and said, “Notify the heads of each department. We’re going to have a meeting.”
“Yes,” the assistant agreed and hurried off to send them the notice.
Harvey lowered his eyes and looked at the pile of documents on his desk, his gaze deep and intense.
These were all of the projects that Lulu had managed during her time here, and upon seeing them, a sudden realization dawned on him.
During the few days when he was left in his sorry state, Nicole had tasked Lulu with managing the things in his company. She had handled all of these tasks efficiently, and it was evident that there were no selfish motives behind their actions. If anything, she was purely focused on doing the job, and doing it well.
Every decision Nicole had made thus far had taken into consideration Ellison Group’s development as well as the company’s best interest.
It seemed to him now that Thomas’ act of handing oversight of Ellison Group over to Nicole was not simply a move made to neutralize his belligerence; Thomas had done so genuinely with the best interest of the company in mind.
At that moment, Harvey’s eyes widened in understanding of what the truth really was. He had always been the one in the wrong, having succumbed to his own selfish and selfcentered desires at the expense of the company. Thomas had been incredibly patient with him, caving in to his every demand, making him think he was invincible and untouchable.
Now that he had regained control of the company, he arrived at the resolve that he should put Ellison Group first and ensure its continued development. It was a role for which he should strive to do his very best.
After taking a deep breath, Harvey raised his head and gazed out of the window.
‘Perhaps it’s time to pay Grandpa a visit.’ The sun was warm and bright in the afternoon.
“Nicole, the day after tomorrow is Emery’s wedding. Have you prepared a gift for him?” Lulu asked Nicole.
“Yeah, I’ve prepared a gift card. Aunt Emma has gotten everything arranged.
I’ve thought about my choice of gifts, but there really isn’t anything particularly suitable for the couple,” Nicole replied.
After all, both Emery and his future wife already had everything they needed.
“Well, Spencer and I will present them some cash then. Let them do what they will with it,” Lulu suggested with a smile, as she was also unable to make her mind on what he should be giving them.
“Ah man, Stanley and Emery got into this whole matchmaking deal together, but Emery is the only one getting married now.” Lulu sighed. “Any updates on Stanley and Tia?”
“There shouldn’t be a problem. It’s just that Stanley has not made an official announcement yet. I don’t know what Stanley has in mind.” Nicole shrugged.
There was no denying that Stanley had been rather secretive as of late, something which Nicole had been sensitive enough to pick up on.
“That’s true.” Lulu nodded, wondering if Stanley was planning something.
“When Stanley feels that it’s time to make his relationship with Tia public, he will do it.” Nicole said.
She was not too worried as she just wanted the both of them to be happy.
“Oh, by the way, has Ellar’s injury healed completely? He should be able to attend the wedding, right?” Lulu asked, remembering that Ellar’s arm still had a gash on it.
