Patricia wanted to keep her relationship with Ellar discreet because she didn't want to leave when she felt she needed to be there for Nicole.

Nicole gave her a reassuring smile, "It's fine, don't worry." But Patricia was firm.

"No! Ellar agrees that I should stay.

It's important for me to be here with you right now." She was determined to stay, not just because of the risks facing Nicole, but also because she felt a strong sense of duty and loyalty.

Nicole saw how determined Patricia was, thought for a bit, and then agreed, "Okay, stay for now.

After everything calms down, Ellar can come for you." "Thanks," Patricia breathed out, relieved she could stay.

With a gentle smile, Nicole said, "Okay, go ahead with your work." "T will," Patricia replied, and left the room.

Nicole watched her go, moved by the care and commitment Patricia and Ellar had for her.
