One time, he even joked with a smile, “If we’re both still single at 30, I’ll throw you the grandest wedding ever.”
I never took that seriously. But now, I suddenly realize—he’s not as good as I remembered him to be.
Elias invited the executives from Stars Bright Group to a dinner party at an exclusive club. As one of the core person-in-charge of the project, I was also invited to attend.
What I didn’t expect was that Elsa Abend would be there too.
She was wearing an out-of-place sailor-style school uniform while sitting beside Elias. While I was discussing the project details, Elias nodded in agreement with my points.
Perhaps feeling left-out, Elsa pouted and said in her sickeningly sweet voice, “Ms. Torres, you're so impressive, huh? You can help Eli land such a big deal.”
“I wonder, did you drink your way to success? We really should thank you for all your sacrifices for the company.”
The room immediately fell silent.
Then, I replied lightly, “Ms. Abend, you really like to joke around. This project’s success happens because of Mr. Weber’s leadership, the executives’ decisions and our team’s professionalism.”
