Chapter 328 The private room was steeped in an uncomfortable silence.

Elijah, seated at the table, pressed his lips into a thin line, ignoring Sandras question.

His fingers idly tapped the edge of his phone as he read Olivers message asking where he was.

After typing a brief reply, he turned off the screen and began absently tracing the phones edges, his expression unreadable.

Sandra, perched across from him, turned her attention toward the decorative cutout in the wall.

Through the gaps, she spotted Oliver approaching with two women.

One of them was Carrie, her understated elegance unmistakable.

The other woman, wearing a bold and eye-catching outfit, was Carries friend.

A flicker of cunning lit up in Sandras eyes.

She hadnt expected luck to align so perfectly.

Initially, she had only planned to stop by the Norris Group offices to accidentally run into Elijah.

But when she saw his car parked outside the mall, she couldnt resist following him inside.

And now, not only was Elijah here, but so was Carrie.
