Chapter 43: Chapter 43

After a while, I cooled down and saw Damon still looking at me quietly. I waved my hand signaling Cherry to leave first. When only Damon and I were left in the dining room, I calmly replied, "You’re overthinking it. If you can give me a 2% stake in Coleman Co, a company of that size, it would be more than enough for me to live a comfortable life" "Really?" Damon just asked back and then continued eating without looking at me. I stopped talking and started eating, afraid that any ship of the tongue would give me away. After finishing my meal, I went to the music room to play the cello alone. I didn’t know how much progress Damon had made with Ariel these days.

But then Joshua’s call woke me up. "Eliana, are you free now? Let’s meet up!" Joshua’s voice sounded different from usual, as if he was suppressing his anger. I answered, "Yes. Where are you?" lm at the north gate of Starlight Estates." Joshua’s reply took me by surprise.

I quickly changed my shoes and drove to the north gate of Starlight Estates. Sure enough, Joshua was looking around by the roadside. He didn’t recognize me because I had changed my car. I stopped in front of him and rolled down the window, "Joshua, get in. Let’s talk about it later."
