Rebirth of Billionaire's Wife (Eveline)

Chapter 344

Chapter 344 344: Can you spare me a word

The words spoken by Jedrick made Ella look across at him. Observing the delicate smile on his face caused her eyes to narrow slightly.

"I agree with you, Mr. Jedrick; my dad does have an eye for talent, and Miss Stewart is exceptional in every way. He had to choose her," Stefan responded on Ella's behalf.

He was bothered by Jedrick's obvious interest in her, which prompted him to interrupt her.

Jedrick laughed and nodded his head in agreement. "You are correct," he remarked, and they quickly concluded the discussion, preparing to go. But before Ella could walk out, Jedrick stopped her.

"Miss Stewart, can you spare me a word?" Ella exchanged a quick glance with Stefan and agreed before he could object.

"Yes."

Her answer caused Stefan to furrow his brow, but she reassured him that everything would be alright and he walked out, not before locking eyes with Jedrick.

With Stefan out of the picture, Ella made her way back to Jedrick and stood before him.

She had been doing her best to be quiet so Jedrick wouldn't see her holding him. Despite her lack of interaction, it's possible that the man had already intended to speak with her.

"Yes, Mr. Donovan, what would you like to talk about? Is it about the project?" She asked with a neutral expression and a steady voice as she faced her father.

'I wish he wasn't.'

Jedrick noted Ella's hostility toward him, as opposed to when they met at the celebration. For a second, he wondered if Michelle had told her about him, but then he dismissed the thought, insisting that she would not.

'Whatever happened to her, she wouldn't talk about it,' Jedrick mocked mentally before deciding to acknowledge Ella's concerns.

"No, Miss Stewart, it's not about the project because we've already finished the design. But it is something significant to you."

Ella's breath caught in her throat, her mind focused on a possibility she didn't want to confront.

"Me?" she inquired with a hint of bafflement. She was secretly worried that Jedrick would catch her, but the words that followed threw her off guard.
