"Don't worry about the stock price," Lawrence said quietly, his voice full of hidden meaning. "Keep going with the plan like we talked about." "But if we do that, our company might go bankrupt," Ian said. He was feeling really confused and asked himself, 'Is this all really worth it? Even if we pull it off, without the company, we can't keep our foothold here in San Joto. Does that mean we have to leave?' "Just do it," Lawrence told Ian, shooting him a cold glance.
Ian replied, "Yes, sir." He felt a chill and didn't dare to say more.
After Ian left, Lawrence had a sharp look in his eyes. He thought to himself, 'If things really go south, I'm ready to leave everything in San Joto behind..

As the day turned into evening after a busy day, Nicole, Patricia, and Lulu were leaving work, chatting as they walked.
Suddenly, someone called out, Patricia," making them all turn around.
Seeing Ellar, Patricia asked in surprise, ' What brings you here?"
Nicole knew about Patricia and Ellar, but Patricia hadn't told anyone else. She didn’t want to make a fuss and was more focused on protecting Nicole's safety.
"I came to pick you up," Ellar said like it was the most normal thing.
"You didn't have to; I can get home myself," Patricia said, trying to keep her distance.
Eliar didn't catch her hint and said, sounding a bit upset, "Since you said yes to marrying me, I haven't seen you. I've started to wonder if it was all a dream." "What?!" Lulu was shocked. 'Wow! When did this happen? Why didn't I know?'
Patricia rolled her eyes at Ellar, but knew her secret was out. She told Lulu," I was going to tell you once everything was sorted."
Ellar ruffled his hair, looking sorry for himself. "But I miss you when we're not together."
When Lulu realized Patricia and Ellar were engaged and hadn't told anyone, she laughed and said, "You two should go out. Jared's here for Nicole; she'll be fine. Work's over for today." She nudged Patricia toward Ellar.
Seeing Nicole wasn't surprised, Lulu figured Nicole knew about the engagement. She let Ellar take Patricia away so she could ask Nicole for the details.
"Hey," Patricia said, blushing, as she gave Lulu a look. Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.
"Just go, don't be shy," Lulu said, waving them off, urging Ellar to take Patricia.
"Okay, we're going," Ellar said with a smile, taking Patricia's hand.
"And they're off," Lulu said, wrapping an arm around Nicole's and smiling," Now, spill the beans. What's their story?"
Lulu had been caught off guard as she had no idea the two had made such a huge leap.
Nicole shared, "It's simple. Ellar proposed to Patricia, and she said yes. She's just been staying with US to help me out, so she wanted to keep it quiet for a while.” "Oh..." Lulu realized, 'So Ellar planned to propose quietly and pulled it off without anyone knowing.'
Nicole shook her head, smiling at Lulu's curiosity, and said, "Enough gossip. Spencer's here for you. Time to head home." "Okay, see ya!" Lulu said, spotting spencer and Jared, and walked over to Spencer's car.
