Mila was sitting in the reception hall. When she saw Elnora come down, she immediately stood up from the sofa.
Her gaze settled on Elnora, a gentle smile appearing as she greeted her.
‘I thought you wouldn’t see me.” Mila said.
Elnora walked over and sat down across from Mila, speaking in a calm voice. “Why wouldn’t I see you?”
Mila paused for a second, her eyes briefly showing disappointment.
The way Elnora responded now made it clear she didn’t hold any grudge against them.
If there were no hatred, then there would be no feelings left, either.
Mila let out a soft sigh, pulled an invitation from her bag, and handed it to Elnora with both hands..
Elnora. I really hope you can come to the banquet the Gill family is throwing,” Mila said.
Elnora glanced at the invitation Mila offered, took it, and flipped it open.
t was a promotion celebration.
Elnora gave Mila a calm look and answered quietly.
Congrats. After all these years, you finally landed the spot you’ve been waiting for,” Elnora said.
The Gill family’s situation was complicated. Mila’s birth mother had died when she was still very young.
The current matriarch of the Gill family was her stepmother, who became part of the family when Mila was just a baby.
Over the years, her stepmother always treated Mila kindly on the surface.
But in reality, she was always on guard around Mila.
t was only in recent years that Mila finally figured out what her stepmother was really thinking.
der stepmother was determined not to let Mila have even the smallest share of the Gill family’s wealth.
io when Mila started dating Zack, her stepmother pushed her into it, fully supporting and encouraging her, anything to eep Mila from getting her hands on the family fortune.
Her father had always feared the Gill family would be taken over by some powerful clan, so after Mila got involved with Zack, he started to tighten control over her, making sure every move she made was under his watch.
With a slight smile on her face, Mila said, “I got it by getting divorced.”
Elnora remained expressionless, just listening quietly to Mila.
Mila let out a soft sigh, her face showing a hint of resignation.
‘Honestly, I didn’t want to bring all this up with you,” Mila said.
“Then don’t say it,” Elnora replied.

She really couldn’t care less and honestly didn’t want to hear any of it.

Mila’s face froze for a second, then she forced a helpless smile and said softly, “Elnora, you’re still just like before. It’s like nothing in this world can ever trap you.”
Elnora didn’t respond.
Mila continued, her voice soft, “Honestly, if I don’t say this to you, I really don’t know who else I could talk to. So… I just have to say it.
“Elnora, we used to be really tight, didn’t we? Like, best friends?”
Elnora glanced up at Mila, her voice cool and distant as she asked, “Did you honestly believe we were best friends back then?’
“Did you really think we were best friends?” Elnora pressed, her tone flat.
A flicker of awkwardness crossed Mila’s face.
Elnora gave a faint, distant smile before speaking. “Ms. Gill, if you’re just here to catch up, there’s really no need.
“I’ve received the invitation. If I have time, I’ll attend. I won’t ask you to stay for dinner.”
With that, Elnora stood up from the sofa and walked away.
Mila quickly stood up and called after Elnora, “Elnora, Zack’s really not doing well right now.
“He handed over the core project in Sograla City just so he could divorce me. Now, the Clark family has kicked him out.
‘He’s never stopped caring about you. All these years, you’ve always been in his heart. It was me. I used tricks to come between you two and take him away. Now, I just want to let you have him back.”
Elnora’s eyes flashed with disgust, but she didn’t say a word.
Albert stepped out of the elevator, just in time to overhear the conversation.
He locked his gaze on Mila, his tone cold as ice.
“What are you passing around like some kind of commodity?” Albert sneered.
Elnora paused mid-step.
Albert strode over to Elnora, let out a cold laugh, and said, “Seriously? Is this a trade market now?”
Elnora didn’t even blink-no embarrassment, not a single sign she cared about being exposed in front of her husband
Her voice stayed cool as she replied, “If you’re really that eager, I suppose I could let you have him. Doesn’t bother me either way.”
With that. Elnora walked straight into the elevator.
Albert’s chest rose and fell with anger as he quickly turned and followed Elnora into the elevator
He reached out and grabbed Elnora by the chin, forcing her to look at him.
“Say that again.” he demanded.

Elnora looked at hum, her expression cool and indifferent.
Are you deaf or something?” she shot back.
Albert was so pissed off that his breathing became shallow and uneven.
His eyes zeroed in on her rosy lips, jaw clenched. Then, without warning, he pressed his lips against hers in a sudden. forceful kiss.
Elnora hadn’t expected him to kiss her out of nowhere. Instinctively, she tried to push him off with her knee.
Albert caught her leg and pinned it down before she could strike.
But in that split second when he was distracted, Elnora sank her teeth into the edge of his lips, hard.
Albert winced from the pain and let go.
Elnora fixed him with a chilling stare, her eyes as cold as a frozen lake.
Albert wiped the blood from his mouth, unfazed by Elnora’s cold, sharp gaze. Instead, he smirked and said, “Didn’t expect your lips to be so soft, Ms. Finley.”
Elnora gave him a frosty glance and replied in a low, steady voice, “Don’t push your luck.”
Albert raised an eyebrow, scoffed, and braced his hand against the elevator wall behind Elnora, his expression cocky and fearless.
“What, Ms. Finley, planning to get revenge over a little kiss?” he taunted.
Elnora shot him a sharp, narrowed look.
Just then, the elevator doors slid open.
The employees waiting by the elevator were stunned by what they saw inside, caught completely off guard.
Albert gave them a look out of the corner of his eye.
Everyone quickly dispersed, acting like they suddenly had work to do.
Albert pressed the close button, then selected their office floor.
Once the elevator doors closed, the employees who’d just left quietly gathered at the doors again.
Everyone stayed silent, barely even breathing.
Someone whispered, careful not to be overheard, “Did you guys see that?”
Everyone nodded. ‘Yeah, we saw it, right?”
One of them asked, still unsure, “Wait, what did we just see?”
Everyone chimed in, ‘Mr. Campbell had a lipstick mark on his lips.”
Suddenly, everyone started whispering and gossiping, the whole place buzzing
“Yeah. I saw it too! Mr. Campbell totally went for it with Ms. Finley, right?” someone blurted out

That’s what happened, right?”
“I swear I saw blood on Mr. Campbell’s lips. Did he try to force a kiss on Ms. Finley, and she wasn’t having it, so she bit him”
Someone agreed, “Yeah, that’s pretty much what went down.”
Everyone took a deep breath. Honestly, it was hard to even picture what Elnora looked like in that moment, with her usual ice-cold attitude.
Elnora always gives off major boss vibes, so in their eyes, she’s basically untouchable.
But when Albert had her pinned against the wall just now, Elnora suddenly seemed so tiny-almost vulnerable.
Just then, someone suddenly spoke up. “I think I dropped something valuable in the elevator this morning.”
Someone raised their hand. “I can vouch for that! It looks like it was the USB drive that stores all the important company files.”
‘Let’s hurry to the security room and pull up the surveillance footage to help find it,” someone suggested.
With that, everyone scrambled toward the security room, eager to be the first to get the juicy scoop.
