Chapter 187: Chapter 185: The Child Picked Up

She hurriedly ran back to Norman Bennett’s office, only to find that he hadn’t returned yet. Elliana Lyle had no choice but to sit on the sofa and wait.

She was in a panic at the moment, Brian White must have found out, otherwise he wouldn’t have said that.

But he didn’t explicitly say it, perhaps she was overthinking it.

Just two minutes after she sat down, there was a click, and the office door opened. She looked towards the door and saw it was Raymond Wood.

At the same time, Raymond also looked at her.

"Miss Lyle."

After greeting her politely, Raymond placed the files he was holding onto the desk.

Seeing this, she quickly asked, "When will Norman Bennett be done?"

Raymond hesitated for a few seconds before saying, "Well... It should be soon. Should I go check for you?"

The statement was very courteous, obviously indicating that she should just wait patiently.

Of course, Elliana also realized this, shook her head, and said, "No need, you go ahead with your work."

After Raymond left, he suddenly turned back and asked her, "Miss Lyle, I’m ordering some food. Have you eaten?"

She replied honestly, "Yes, I just ate next door. I’m not hungry now."

Her response took Raymond by surprise. He carefully observed Elliana’s expression; it was natural and not guilty at all, making him question his own assumptions.

He then smiled and said, "So it was you, Miss Lyle, that I saw downstairs. I thought I was seeing things."

At this point, Elliana suddenly understood what Raymond was suspicious of; otherwise, he wouldn’t have seen her and then asked if she had eaten.

This kind of misunderstanding was understandable, so she explained, "I told Norman Bennett that I had a meal with Mr. White."

The statement was made casually and with a fitting tone, causing Raymond to feel ashamed upon hearing it; he had misunderstood. After all, Miss Lyle was married to the CEO now; how could she still be as willful as before?

"Alright, Miss Lyle, I’ll head down first then."

Raymond left, a few minutes
