How a Dying Woman Rewrote Her Epilogue

Chapter 39

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?

Elodie couldn't help but knit her brows.

Jarrod had given Sylvie so many exceptions.

She wasn't even an employee, yet she could come and go in the confidential sample rooms, review manufacturing and 3D model blueprints, and even participate in major production meetings?

Jason quickly clarified, "You both have nothing to worry about. Ms. Fielding is more than qualified. Mr. Silverstein said she can be briefed on all the particulars, and if anything goes wrong, he'll take full responsibility."

Esmeralda nearly laughed out of pure anger.
