Love's Bitter Edge (Eva and Leonard)

Chapter 498 I Care About You

"From this day on, I'll work overtime in my apartment, okay? Um... Can I go back to work now?" I raised an eyebrow and looked at Jack. I wasn't sure if he was still angry.

The truth was that anyone with a functioning brain could see that I was being framed. Later, a lot of people on the company forum started getting skeptical about the accusation because the photos were just too clear and taken at such a strategic angle. Also, Jack was a highly intelligent man. How could he not see the peculiarity in this whole shebang?

With that said, Jack didn't raise his head to look at me. I thought he was reading some documents on his computer screen.

I knew that he probably wasn't mad because I worked overtime with a male colleague. Instead, it was because I ran into some trouble and didn't inform him immediately.

However, I was aware that I couldn't look to Jack every time something happened. I sighed gently and turned around to leave his office. Just as I reached the door, I heard his voice again.

"It's better for you to tread carefully in the future, Eva. Don't get your photos uploaded to the internet."

I was stunned as I turned around to look at me. "What?"

Jack raised his gaze to look at me, and there was a mix of emotions in his eyes. "The internet reaches the entire globe, Eva. Do you think that the photos of you uploaded in Erewhon won't be circulated to Pyrosia?
