A faint blush crept across Peach’s cheekbones as she lowered her head, clearly embarrassed by what she was about to ask.
“Yes?” Elijah prompted, sensing her unease.
“Could I work with you?” Peach finally asked timidly. “I mean if you… Umm… after you establish your company…” It grew quiet for a moment until she couldn’t bear it anymore. She lifted her head, and her eyes unintentionally locked with Elijah’s gaze before he focused on the road.
“Just because we are getting a bit close, you think that is a way for you to take advantage of it and use me for your benefit,” Elijah replied coldly, not bothering to hide the irritation and disgust in his voice.
Feeling confused, Peach chuckled Out in surprise, tilting her head to the side, mumbling,” Wait, what?!”
“Don’t act dumb and naive,” Elijah retorted sharply.
“That was uncalled for!”
“Was it?!”
“Yes!”
The tension in the car grew thicker as Peach looked away from Elijah in embarrassment, feeling a little hurt from his harsh tone. “Under what grounds do you think you are qualified to work for me?!” Elijah let out, his tone dripping with sarcasm and anger.
“Maybe if you didn’t act as if I committed such a sin by asking to work with you, you would know that I have a master’s degree in business management and finance.” Peach stated proudly, folding her arms across her chest, not looking at Elijah. “You do?!”

“Uhmm… Your cousin… Melina is here. She just arrived a moment ago, and went straight to your mother’s room.” A touch of fury flashed across Peach’s face, and drowning in her anger, she grabbed Elijah’s
