Billionaire’s 118
Chapter 118
As the Elevator door closed behind Derek and Sandra, Derek casually leaned against the wall, his mind already working on the next steps.
He slipped his phone out of his pocket and quickly composed a text to Evelyn: [Taking Sandra to lunch. I just sent you something important. Check it out when you can.] With a swift motion, he forwarded the recorded conversation to Evelyn, ensuring she had all the evidence he had just acquired since it had everything to do with the both of them. As he slipped his phone back into his pocket, he turned his attention to Sandra. "Did you come in your car?" he asked, his tone light as if the question was merely a formality. "Yes, I drove. Why?" She asked with a cheerful smile.
Although the day had started out in such a shitty way, she was happy being with Derek this way and having him take her to lunch.
"I was thinking it might be easier if we took separate cars, so you don't have to come back just to pick up yours.
That way, you can go straight to your office," he explained, not wanting to endure her company in the drive to the restaurant.
Sandra's expression faltered for a moment, but she quickly recovered, her voice taking on a playful lilt. "Oh, Derek, you're such a gentleman. But I really don't mind. I enjoy spending time with you. We can go together, and I'll just come back here with you afterward."
Derek's smile was polite, hiding the mild irritation he felt at her insistence. Before he could respond, the elevator dinged softly, signaling their arrival on the ground floor.
The doors slid open, revealing the busy lobby of the office building.
As they stepped out, their eyes immediately landed on Michael, who was approaching the elevator. The surprise on Michael's face was almost comical as he took in the sight of Sandra by Derek's side. "Sandra," Michael greeted, his tone laced with mild confusion. "What are you doing here?"
Sandra's heart skipped a beat. She had acted without informing Michael. "I just came to make sure Derek wasn't mad at me anymore. You know how I hate it when we're not on good terms." Michael's eyes flicked to Derek, who was watching the exchange with a neutral expression. "My feelings are hurt.
You cared about Derek so much and didn't even stop by to say hello to me?" Michael asked, clearly taken aback by Sandra's boldness.
