Chapter 189

Eloise's words were dripping with sarcasm.

Harvey was in pain. He lowered his head, and it took him a while to mutter her name, "Eloise..."

Eloise didn't respond. She silently tore the document into shreds. When she looked up at him again, her eyes were as if looking at a stranger. "Harvey, I hope you can keep your promises!"

His gaze was deep. He made a phone call, putting a stop to all the pressure on Sleak Tech.

Everything was over.

Harvey watched her rejecting figure, wanting to touch her, but Eloise's body froze instantly. He swallowed the pain and gave a small smile. "I won't touch you! Eloise, can you make me something to eat?"

Eloise didn't respond. Harvey couldn't help but hug her from behind, his chin resting on her shoulder, whispering, "Cook for me, please. I haven't eaten a decent meal in ages. Without you, I can't sleep at night either." He was always missing her.

Eloise pushed him away. Standing in the shadows by the window, she softly said, "Harvey, when I wanted to be in a serious relationship, you didn't give me a chance. Now, I don't want it anymore! And... I can avoid Landon, but I can't be with you anymore. If you force me, I will do anything!"

Slowly turning her head, she whispered, "Harvey, everyone has their privacy. I guess someone famous like you must value it a lot. After all, any little thing could ruin your perfect image, right?"

Harvey wasn't surprised. He had been with Eloise for a long time, so it was normal for her to know some things. Of course, it wouldn't matter if those things got out. But seeing her so angry now, he was willing to back off a little.

"I'll go now. Remember to get something to eat!" His tone was gentle, like he was back to being caring and loving as if the previous threats never happened.

As he left, Harvey gently stroked her back. Eloise froze, rejecting his touch.

He paused, whispering, "Eloise, I know you hate me, but I don't regret it!" Eloise chuckled coldly. Of course, he didn't regret it because he didn't lose anything.

...

The next day, Eloise went to Encore Soundworks and started working. Harvey called a few times, but she didn't pick up. He often sent flowers and would have meals delivered from fancy restaurants, but Eloise never accepted anything.

A week later, Veronica called.

"Eloise, Landon is going on a business trip, his flight is at two in the afternoon! I heard from Riley that he won't be back for at least a year!"

Eloise held her phone, standing by the floor-to-ceiling window. She softly acknowledged.

Veronica quietly asked, "Do you... want to come and see him off?"

Eloise lifted her head slightly, taking a moment before replying, "No, give him my regards. No, forget it."

Veronica sighed softly.

After hanging up, Eloise stood there, looking at the blue sky and white clouds. Landon was leaving.

She remembered that on the darkest night, it was Landon who walked out of the darkness and gave her warmth. She remembered him saying, "Eloise, let's give it a try!" when she was feeling lost.
