Elodie paused for a split second when she heard the words "Mr. Silverstein's girlfriend."

So, he was willing to acknowledge his relationship within the company.

He would declare his love openly.

He would give Sylvie free rein to move about as she pleased at work.

He would make sure she felt safe and accepted.

To Jarrod, only Sylvie was worth all of this, wasn't she?

Esmeralda's smile was icy and insincere. "Girlfriend? So she's not even an employee at Nexus Analytics?"

Sylvie replied with a gentle smile, "Jarrod granted me special permission to train on-site at Nexus Analytics. I'm not officially on the payroll, but I'll be helping evaluate this project."

So, Elodie thought, if they were here to negotiate materials for manufacturing, Sylvie would be allowed to give her opinion too?
