Her Precious Baby

Chapter 47

Evander raised his eyebrows. “I should be asking you that.”

“I-I’m here to sign the agreement.” Angeline almost tripped over her words as she spoke. “I was thinking to sign the agreement with Mr. Jantz before dropping by your office to say hello. I didn’t expect to run into you here instead.”

Evander glared down his height at her, looking effortlessly imposing as he always did. “Are you telling me that you’re not avoiding me on purpose and that the leaked photograph had nothing to do with you?”

The atmosphere grew tense in an instant.

Angeline’s pupils dilated with fear. “Mr. Golding—”

She was just about to explain herself when Evander placed a hand on her shoulder and pinned her firmly against the wall. His other hand squeezed her chin and forced her to meet his gaze.

Angeline could not see his face clearly as it was dim in that corner, but she sensed his intense anger from the strength of his grip on her chin.

“I warned you once, Angeline, to handle matters on your own without using Golding Group. Do you think you can slip by me by going to Roger for the agreement? I can nullify it at any time!”

“Ah!” Angeline squealed in pain. The fear in her eyes grew as she stared at Evander.

The short exchange had shown her her insignificance before him.

“How stupid do you think I am, Evander, to leak the photograph right before I sign the contract?” she said with much difficulty through gritted teeth.

Every time she stretched her lips caused her pain to the point where her breaths were becoming labored.

“I will swear right now if you don’t believe me. If I was trying to obtain benefits with the photograph, may I forever be a second-rate actress and never obtain Sorelle Group’s shares.”

She met his gaze with firm resolve, and her vows increased with intensity as she uttered them.

Slightly taken aback, Evander’s expression grew grim.

“That’s not necessary. Just make sure this never happens again.” He let go of her.
