Chapter 505 Who Said We Were Lovers
The comments went on and on, turning this bout of public courtship into a joke.
In the beginning, Kenneth only kept his eyes on Elise, staring at her as piously as a monk and seemingly waiting for her to change her mind.
However, as he realized that she showed no signs of softening, his gaze turned cold and he turned his head to glance mildly at the onlooking crowd. Instantly, their laughter came to a halt.
The man in front tightly pursed his lips and offered a fake smile as he turned into a tortoise hiding in its shell who lacked the courage to move.
The world was full of narcissists like these who would watch the world burn only to then act like they were on a high horse and had nothing to do with the trouble once it truly started.
It wasn’t until no one dared to laugh any longer that Kenneth turned back to glance incomprehensibly at Elise, toss the imperial jade to Tom, and walk away.
As Elise breathed a sigh of relief, she gave Tom a look. “You can send Miss Melody back in a bit and have her take the jade with her.”
Since Melody was already prepared to leave, she turned back. “Excuse me, Miss Sinclair. Did I offend you in some way?”
Elise shook her head. “Why would you think that?”
“Why else would you have me take back something that my boss didn’t want? Would you like to watch me lose my job?” Melody frowned and gave her a look of bewilderment that was typical of intellectuals.
“My apologies.” Elise shrugged. “I thought you two were lovers and that I might spare you his temper if you brought the jade back for him. I meant no harm.”
