Chapter 408

Sylvie glanced in surprise at the young assistant standing before her.

Almost immediately, her cold, sharp stare landed on Elodie. Clearly, this little assistant wouldn't have dared speak to her like that without Elodie's tacit approval. How amusing, Sylvie thought.

Elodie's wariness was barely concealed. The only reason she'd managed to acquire Nexus Analytics was by riding Sylvie's coattails, and yet she was already putting on airs.

"So this is the kind of person Ms. Thorne cultivates-doesn't even bother with basic manners toward a guest." Sylvie's lips curled in a wry smile. Her tone was calm, almost dismissive; a mere assistant wasn't worth her irritation.

Elodie didn't even look up, methodically gathering the reports she'd been reviewing.

Candida's polite smile didn't waver. "Ms. Fielding, if you want an explanation from Ms. Thorne, perhaps you should make an appointment first. Who knows, if she agrees, your little intrusion today might not count as a breach of etiquette."

Sylvie's expression hardened. She decided there was no point wasting words on Elodie and Candida. Instead, she turned to Jason. "Jason, why don't you speak with me?"

Jason's heart skipped a beat. What was he supposed to do in this situation? He glanced nervously at Elodie, but aware of Sylvie's connection to Mr. Silverstein, he forced a polite smile. "President Fielding, with Ms. Thorne here, I really can't overstep my bounds."
