Chapter 578
She cast him a glance. It was a single, lost glance. Then her gaze awkwardly shifted away. Exiting the elevator, she brushed past him without a word. “Violette!” His large hand gripped her arm tightly.
Her steps came to a halt, and then, with her free hand, she began to pound against his chest. “Let me go!” She croaked out, “Let go of me!”
Her vehement reaction caused his grip to loosen immediately. He looked at the tears welling up in her eyes. His Adam’s apple was bobbing. “Violette, what's wrong?”
Something was clearly off with her. He couldn't fathom what kind of trouble she could possibly be in to react like this.
She stared at his face. The pain in her heart was intensifying. If only he hadn't insisted on the medication, maybe their child would have been alright.
She wanted to blame him, but it couldn’t change the result. It wasn’t like he did it on purpose.
“Elijah, don’t follow me!” With teary eyes, she uttered these words before swiftly turning to leave.
Watching her retreating figure, he found himself unable to stay calm. He strode towards her, determined to follow. Just then, the nearby elevator door opened, revealing Mike. The receptionist had called Mike over.
“Elijah! What are you doing here?” Mike quickly caught up with Elijah, grabbing his arm. “Are you here for Violette? What do you want with her?”
Hearing Mike’s voice, Violette, who wasn’t too far away, turned to look back. Seeing her tear-covered face, Mike immediately assumed the worst. Elijah had been messing with her!
“Damn it! You made Violette upset!” Mike threw a punch, hitting Elijah square in the face.
Taken by surprise, Elijah was unable to dodge and took the full brunt of the punch.
His face was darkening. Elijah retaliated with a punch of his own!
“Ms. Violette! Mike and Elijah are fighting!” The receptionist, terrified, called out to Violette, “Please, you have to stop them!” Violette halted in her tracks.
“Mike seems to be losing to Elijah!” The receptionist watched the fight, pacing nervously.
Taking a deep breath, Violette strode towards the two men. “Enough!” She stood just a step away from them. Her voice was stern. Both men immediately stopped fighting.
The receptionist was left speechless. It was understandable that Mike would listen to the boss. But why was Elijah, who was supposedly conned by the boss, also obedient?Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
“If you must fight, do it elsewhere! Don’t bother me!” Choking back sobs, Violette spoke out these words before turning to leave.
