Chapter 2769
Dusk arrived in the blink of an eye, and just like that, it was time for them to clock out.
With that, Nicole and Lulu left the company together, while Patricia drove them to the location where they had
agreed to meet up with the rest.
Upon arrival, Nicole saw Tia waiting at the restaurant's entrance, waving happily as she spotted them.
"Hi, Nicole," Tia greeted Nicole with joy.
The feeling of loneliness within her was gone in an instant.
"You're remarkably punctual," Lulu teased after they approached Tia.
"I didn't want everyone to wait for me," Tia explained softly.
Lulu then glanced at Nicole and said, "Let's go inside. I think everyone else should be here by now."

But just as they were about to enter, someone called out to her. "Hey Nicole! Wait for me!"
Nicole turned around and was surprised to see Ellar rushing over to her, causing a smirk to play on her face.
She suddenly understood why Ellar was not reluctant to leave this morning. He had probably overheard her
conversation with Patricia and decided to join the event.
"I made it in time," Ellar said, and issued a sigh of relief.
After giving him a smile, Nicole said, Let's head inside."
Ellar sheepishly scratched his head when he realized that Nicole had seen through him. Still, he happily followed
them into the venue.
"Why are you here?" Lulu asked Ellar with a curious look etched on her face.
"I heard there was an event, so I came to join in the fun," Ellar casually explained.
Without thinking too much about it, Lulu nodded. "Perfect. Samuel and Spencer will be here too."
"That's great," Ellar said, satisfied and feeling at ease.
He had no idea about the specifics; all he knew was that there was a gathering of sorts. He was also worried that he
might be the only male participant around.
Now that he knew that Samuel and Spencer were also here, he felt relieved. They could already hear some noises
inside when they arrived at the doorstep of the reserved private room.
With that, Lulu smiled and said, "They've all arrived. Let's go in."
After knocking on the door, Lulu opened it and announced," We're here!"
"Welcome! Come on in!" one of June's colleagues greeted them.
June had already informed them about who would be attending their team-building event, mentioning that they
were all from the Riddle family. Naturally, they were very welcome.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmOnce the Riddles were in, June's colleagues caught sight of Ellar, taking them aback for a moment. Then, their gaze
shifted toward Stanley.
June had only mentioned that Samuel and Spencer would be there, not Stanley and Ellar. Seeing Stanley there was
surprising enough for them, and now, another unexpected guest from the Riddle family, Ellar, had also arrived.
"Wow, am I dreaming?" one of the bridesmaids exclaimed. "I never thought I’d witness the entirety of the male
lineup from the Riddle family in my lifetime. Thank you, June. Oh gosh, it must be a blessing from you!"
"Just joining in on the fun," Ellar explained casually, knowing that his visit was sudden.
"Greetings! Please take a seat!" June greeted, motioning for everyone to take a seat.
She then turned to Tia and said, "Tia, come here. This is Don and Ford, and that is..."
After introducing several men to Tia, June pointed to a few of the men and said, "You know them. You met them at
the wedding."
"Hello, everyone," Tia greeted them all before taking a seat next to Nicole.
She had only shown up because she could not refuse their offer; she was not here to make friends. If anything, she
hoped it would quickly end so that she could go home.
