When Love Becomes a Cage by Nora

Chapter 71



Eliana did indeed show up at Patterson Group the very next day, insisting that I be the one to handle her project, or she would walk away from the collaboration.

I convened a meeting immediately, bringing Jade along to the conference room.

Eliana's mood seemed to brighten a bit at the sight of us, but then she quickly grew frustrated again.

"Melanie, that Kayla, can you handle her already?"

"She's just so annoying. Can't Clyde see through her? Is he blind?"

That's when I learned that Kayla had tried to suck up to Eliana and ended up getting a tongue-lashing for her efforts.

But to my surprise, Kayla cried and then turned around to blame Eliana.

"Is Clyde out of his mind? Why did I ever fall for him? Was I blind?"

"Really? Why did you fall for him back then?"

"Because he was really something back in the day, and pretty handsome to boot."

I replied without much emotion.

Eliana was taken aback by my response, mainly because I was stating the obvious.

Back then, Clyde was always a source of positivity, lighting up every room he entered with his energy. But now...

I pulled out some files, "Jade will be in charge this time, with me assisting on the design side."

Eliana looked like she wanted to say something, but after glancing at Jade, she held her tongue.
