Chapter 628:

Elyse glanced up and saw Eva standing there. Although a bit taken aback, Elyse merely shot Eva a quick look before turning her attention back elsewhere.

Eva, feeling stung by Elyse’s cold response, was clearly in a bad mood. She managed to keep her cool and said, “I’m sorry, Mrs. Owen. I just want to explain again that what happened before was purely an accident.”

Elyse, propped up on one hand, was absorbed in her phone. Just ten minutes earlier, she had been with Jayden. Her mouth still tasted bitter, and her throat felt scratchy. She was in no mood for conversation.

Eva’s words only served to annoy Elyse further. With an impatient gesture, she signaled for Eva to leave.

Noticing Elyse’s frosty demeanor and her eyes darting around nervously, Eva realized that the mild-mannered person she had initially thought Elyse was, now seemed to have a sharper edge than she anticipated.

Deciding to try a different tactic, Eva softened her approach.

Eva, with a pitiful tone, replied, “Mia told me to apologize to you and Mr. Owen, or she wouldn’t let me back into the office and would push through my resignation.”

Elyse’s expression hardened. “Do you really think playing the victim will work on me?”
