The CEO's Wife Is Super Charming

Chapter 8: Chapter 7: What Should I Gift Him?

The next day, when Elliana Lyle woke up, it was already close to noon.

She squinted at the opaque navy blue curtains, and with the mushroom bedside lamp on, she couldn’t tell if it was day or night.

Instinctively, she reached for her phone, but it wasn’t in its usual spot!

She sprang up and saw it charging on the dressing table at an angle across from her.

"It’s noon already!" Elliana was startled and quickly ran to the window, pulling the curtain open with one tug. Indeed, the sun outside was scorching hot!

Oh no! She had planned to transfer money to Joy Lyle as soon as she got home!

When Elliana opened her phone, she saw a message from Joy Lyle, along with a transaction she’d made to her.

Sis: "Today’s event went smoothly, thanks to my good sister. You gave me a hundred thousand, but I only needed eighty thousand. I really don’t need that much."

Sis: "Once I earn some money, I’ll pay you back. For now, I still have to stay at Roland for a year, and when the contract ends, I want to explore opportunities with another agency."

She transferred money to Joy? When did that happen?

Rushing to check her bank balance, there was no record. Elliana’s mind went blank for a moment, then suddenly realized — it must have been Norman Bennett!

Cat: "Sis, there’s no need to talk about repayment between us. Take a rest."

After sending the message, she noticed a bunch of messages from Shane Southwell this morning, but Elliana didn’t even want to read them.

Just asking if she had thought of a way to get money yet.

Taking a deep breath, Elliana responded to Shane with one line.

Cat: "I’m working on it. Yesterday, my dad and I had a big fight. He said he wouldn’t give money to outsiders, but I don’t consider you an outsider."

The same words as before; back then, she thought Shane loved her. Now, she’s disgusted by the term "Brother Shane."

Paying him back in kind, she decided to string Shane along, giving him hope.
