Chapter 379

Chapter 379 379: Someone jumped in front of the car

By the time the boys returned, they found Eveline and Ella sitting in deep thought, their expressions serious.

Sharing a curious glance, Gabriel and Stefan approached them.

"Is everything okay between you two?" Gabriel asked, running a hand over Eveline's head. She flinched, her dazed eyes snapping to his.

"When did you two come?" she asked, blinking in confusion as she glanced between Gabriel and Stefan.

Ella, also startled out of her thoughts the moment she sensed Stefan's presence, felt a strange weight settle in her chest. However, unlike Eveline, she quickly masked her emotions and forced a smile.

Gabriel kept his gaze fixed on Eveline, but Ella took the chance to speak.

"Why don't you two stay and have lunch with us?" she suggested.

Stefan nodded in agreement, but Gabriel was quick to decline.

"I don't think that's possible. We have a meeting to attend, and Eveline is coming with me," he said firmly.

Eveline sighed, nodding in understanding. As much as she wanted to stay and spend time with Ella, work couldn't be ignored. More than that, she was eager to be alone with Gabriel and needed to talk to him about the concerns they had regarding Jedrick and his growing interest in Hayes.

After wrapping up their meeting, Gabriel and Eveline left, leaving Ella and Stefan alone.

"What were you thinking about?" Stefan asked suddenly, catching Ella off guard.

She had assumed he hadn't noticed her distraction earlier, but she was wrong. He had.

Ella hesitated for a moment, but she knew the truth couldn't be avoided. They needed to understand why Jedrick was so persistent in getting close to Marcus Hayes, especially when there seemed to be nothing profitable for him to gain.
