Chapter 101
And there was only one bed here.
He was the patient, so she planned to give him the bed to sleep in.
After taking a shower, she sat down on the couch, p
lanning to rough it out on the sofa tonight.
But then, half an hour ago, he came over too.
He slept all afternoon, so it was understandable that he was not sleepy now.
She can’t force him to go to sleep.
"You’ve been dragging this on, and I haven’t had a good sleep in a week! Violette, let’s talk!" The other
end of the video, the director of the technical department spoke up.
"I can’t sleep either! I can’t even eat!" The director of the development department chimed in.
"Same here!" The director of the HR department added.
These old men, each one more exaggerated than the last.
They were trying to force Violette to make a decision right away.
Elijah frowned and snatched her phone away.
Violette: "Hey! I’m on a video call! Give me back my phone!"
She moved towards him, trying to snatch her phone back.
"Who’s this guy?! He looks kinda familiar!"
"This must be Violette’s boyfriend! They’re together so late! It’s gotta be her boyfriend!"
"Oh... this guy looks like someone..." All rights © NôvelDrama.Org.
On the other side of the video, the three old men started discussing.
...
"Violette, how do I hang up? I can’t find the button." Elijah studied her phone for several seconds and
couldn’t find the button, so he handed it back to her.
Violette immediately hung up the video after getting her phone back.
"Why did you grab my phone?!" Violette confronted him.
"I was annoyed." He lazily replied, "It’s 9 PM, not 9 AM."
"If you’re annoyed, go home! This is my place." Violette frowned, holding her phone and headed
towards the bedroom.
He followed her pace.
Meanwhile, the three directors connected the video again.
"I just said that Violette’s boyfriend looks like someone... Did you guys notice? That guy looks like
Elijah!"
"I’ve never seen him in person, only in pictures."
"I’ve actually seen Elijah in person, but I was sitting in the back row, at least a few hundred meters
away from him."
"Didn’t you two hear his voice? The man’s voice in Violette’s video just now matches Elijah’s voice too!"
"How could we remember his voice when we haven’t even seen him?"
"It must be Elijah! I swear! No wonder she wouldn’t agree to work with Derek, she had a better option!"
"If that’s true, then Violette is really amazing!"
"I need to apologize to Violette! I’ve been sending her messages almost every day, accusing her of
being clueless!"
"Don’t get ahead of yourselves! Let me confirm with her first, and see if that guy is really Elijah or not!"
...
Rental house, bedroom.
Violette had a headache, so she lay down on the bed.
Seeing her lying down, Elijah followed suit.
He raised his hand and turned off the room light.
Violette closed her eyes, but her breathing was heavy
, which showed that she was in a bad mood.
Elijah: "I’ve seen one of the three guys in the video with you."
Violette turned her head to look at him: "Who?"
Elijah: "The fat one with glasses."
Violette: "Oh... so what if you’ve seen him?"
Elijah: "He must have recognized me. Our relationship can’t be hidden anymore." He paused for a
moment and continued, "I’ll offer 500 million dollars, you go talk to Derek and see if he’ll match the
price."
"Are you crazy?!" Violette lifted her leg and kicked him, "You think this is an auction?!"
