Love's Change of Heart

Chapter 169

Chapter 169

When Leanna and Zoe returned to the room, everyone had almost finished their meal and was chatting with one another.

When Maya saw this, she said even more cynically, "You two are indeed very busy. We've all been waiting for you for a long time. Even Elijah, a businessman, isn't as busy as you two."

Before Zoe could respond, Elijah replied, "I'm not usually that busy. Those who work for me are the ones who do the majority of the work."

Not long ago, Maya was still bragging about her husband's position as an executive for a large corporation, which kept him so busy that he rarely returned home. But what about the executive level? To put it bluntly, he was just an employee. Elijah responded well to this remark, and it was clear who he meant.

Everyone else at the dining table had their corners of their mouths quirked up and secretly smiled.

Maya only attended today's class reunion because she wanted to boast about marrying a wealthy man. She did not anticipate that she would shoot herself in the foot, though. She was enraged, but she couldn't lash out at Elijah since he hadn't expressly said that his reply was directed at her. As a result, she could only grit her teeth and suppress her anger.

After the reunion, everyone departed one at a time. He glanced at Leanna and Zoe and said, "I have nothing to do, so I'll give you a ride home."

Leanna smiled politely in response. "It is not necessary. We have a car, so let's go."

Zoe immediately said, "My car has broken down!"

Leanna was dumbfounded.

Zoe said with a straight face, "Nana, remember how my car was acting up on our way here? As soon as we parked it in the basement, it stopped moving."

"Why don't I …"

"Of course you wouldn't know that! You weren't the one driving," Zoe said as she dragged Leanna toward Elijah's car. Then, she thanked him.

Elijah smiled. "You're welcome."
