"Wait a sec," Steve started.
Nicole cut in, "You're not gonna say it's not needed, right?"
After a pause, Steve chuckled. "Seems like it might work."
"That's better," Nicole grinned. "You'll have to be there for Sally's delivery and pitch in with baby duties
afterward. Once Sally's back on her feet, you can return to the company."
They could hire a nanny to help Sally with the baby, which should work out fine.
"Did you think of this plan?" Steve asked.
"Mom and Dad are on board too. Dad even offered to lend a hand with the company if things get
hectic," Nicole explained.
"We'll cope by ourselves," Sean jumped in, not completely agreeing.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtNicole nodded, "I've already talked it over with Dad."
"Then Sally and I appreciate everyone’s help," Steve said, relieved that everything was sorted.
"We're all like family here, no need to be so formal," Nicole teased gently.
Sean chimed in, "It's only fair. When my wife has a baby, you guys will have to share some of the
company's duties too."
"Jane's expecting too?" Nicole and Steve exclaimed simultaneously.
"Not yet, I was just making a comparison," Sean explained, a bit annoyed. It was inevitable; there was
no need for such surprise.
"Well, it's good to have plans," Steve shrugged. "I thought you were treating your careers like your
kids."
Sean rolled his eyes at Steve's remark, choosing to ignore it, and turned to Nicole. "Since that's settled,
let's discuss the company stuff."
"Sure thing," Nicole agreed, laying out her ideas for Sean.
Sean, after hearing Nicole's plan, nodded in agreement. "That sounds good, let's go with that."
"I'll get started on the work handover during this period. From now on, it's up to you guys," Steve said,
nodding.
"Great, it's best to have everything sorted out beforehand, so you can leave without worries," Nicole
said, turning to Sean. "Any other arrangements you need to make?"
"That should cover it. If any issues come up, we can discuss them later," Sean replied.
"Okay, then it's settled," Nicole concluded, standing up.
Sean and Steve also got up. "We'll head back to our offices now."
They all went their separate ways to their offices.
As Nicole settled into her desk, Patricia entered to report, "Ms. Riddle, here are the new documents."
"Thanks, just leave them here," Nicole said, then glanced up at Patricia. ’ We're going to Martin's
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmtomorrow to take off the bandage, right? To check out the final results."
"Yes," Patricia confirmed, absentmindedly touching her cheek, feeling a bit nervous. Despite their
optimism about the outcome, there was still a lingering uncertainty until the bandage was actually
removed.
"Don't worry. We've been positive about this, and it's going to be fine. Even if it's not perfect, Martin and
I will figure something out," Nicole reassured
Patricia.
'Thank you, Ms. Riddle," Patricia said appreciatively.
"No need to thank me. Just get back to your work," Nicole said with a smile.
"Sure thing," Patricia agreed, then left the office.
Nicole then picked up the documents beside her and started working through them.
Time passed quickly, and before she knew it, it was lunchtime.
"Nicole, let's grab some lunch?" Lulu called out to her.
"Sure thing," Nicole replied, ready for a break.
