Chapter 588
Elnora let out a slow breath and relaxed, steadying her nerves.
Seeing Elnora had settled down, Elara spoke in a calm tone.
“Ms. Finley, I’m heading out to take care of some things. Just let me know if you need anything,” Elara said.
Elnora nodded, her gaze returning to the stack of documents on her desk.
Noticing that Elnora wasn’t fazed by the situation, Elara breathed a sigh of relief and slipped out of the office.
As soon as Elara returned to the office area, her coworkers immediately gathered around her.
“Come on, tell us! What was Ms. Finley’s attitude?” someone pressed.
Elara didn’t really want to spill about Elnora, but seeing everyone so eager, she shrugged and replied, “Honestly, she didn’t seem bothered at all. She was just working when I went in.”
“Yeah, we’ve got a ton to do today. Let’s get to work,” someone said.
Everyone nodded, and someone remarked quietly, “That’s just like Ms. Finley.”
“Work is everything to her-nothing else even comes close.”
Someone sounded a bit regretful.
“Honestly, I never thought Mr. Campbell and Ms. Finley were a good match, but after seeing that security footage today. they actually look pretty cute together. I might just start shipping them,” someone said, half-joking.
Elara frowned and quickly cut in, “Seriously, shipping random couples will only mess you up.”
The person just smiled, kept replaying the video on their phone, and couldn’t help but beam, grinning like a fangirl aunt.
Tsk, that’s so sweet, they teased, grinning like a fangirl.
Elara was speechless.
‘Sweet? Seriously?’ Elara scoffed inwardly.
From where she stood, it looked more like Elnora was ready to cripple Albert with a single kick.
“Ms. Finley is seriously gorgeous. Even from this so-called ‘death angle,’ she still looks flawless,” someone gushed
Elara couldn’t help but agree with her.
Elnora really was drop-dead gorgeous, beautiful, and captivating.
Albert sat back in his chair, savoring the moment and letting it replay in his mind.
He’d been starving just a minute ago, but now he suddenly felt full, like he’d just eaten.
Still, he knew he had to grab something to eat.
Elnora was just getting back on her feet; skipping meals wasn’t an option for her

Albert got up from his desk and headed over to Elnora’s office. This time, he didn’t bother knocking. He just walked right in.
“Ms. Finley, it’s lunchtime. Let’s go grab something to eat,” Albert said.
Elnora shot him a cold look and said coolly, “I’ve already ordered lunch to be delivered to the office.”
Albert gave a short laugh and asked, “Did you order any for me?”
“Not for you,” Elnora shot back instantly.
Albert just raised an eyebrow, unfazed. He took out his phone and ordered lunch to be sent straight to Elnora’s office.
After replying to Albert, Elnora turned her attention back to her paperwork.
“If you don’t have anything else, Mr. Campbell, please step out. I need to focus on my work,” she said coolly.
“And next time, make sure you knock before coming in,” she added.
Albert nodded. “Got it, I’ll keep that in mind.”
Instead of leaving the office, Albert walked over to Elnora’s desk, pulled out the chair opposite her, and sat down.
Elnora shot him a frown, looking at him.
Seeing her reaction, Albert said lightly, “Oh, I’ll just sit here and wait for my lunch. You go ahead and keep working, don’t mind me.”
Elnora frowned.
Albert grinned at her and said with a playful tone, “What’s wrong, Ms. Finley? Is my presence throwing off your concentration? Am I really that hard to ignore?”
Elnora’s gaze was icy as she shot back, “Even if a dog was sitting in front of me, I’d notice it. And you, Mr. Campbell, are a lot harder to miss.”
Albert shrugged with a casual indifference, making it clear he had no intention of leaving.
Seeing this, Elnora had no choice but to refocus on her work.
Before long, there was a knock at the door.
“Come in, Elnora said.
“Come in,” Albert echoed, their voices overlapping.
‘Looks like we’re pretty in sync, Ms. Finley,” Albert said with a grin.
Albert grinned as he spoke, but Elnora didn’t even look at him. She just got up from her chair.
The food delivery guy came in with Elnora’s lunch, and when he spotted Albert in the office, he couldn’t help but break into a big fangirl smile.
“Ms. Finley, your lunch is here,” the delivery guy announced.
Elnora gave a slight nod, went over, and took her lunch.

Albert followed her over and tidied up the table for her.
After wiping it down, he took the lunch from Elnora, opened it, arranged it for her, and pulled out her chair and set it up for her.
Elnora watched his actions, her expression unchanged, then sat down to eat without a word.
About ten minutes later, Albert’s lunch arrived.
He brought it in, sat right across from Elnora, and started eating with her.
During the meal, he’d add some of his food to her lunch, and quietly take away the stuff she didn’t like, eating it himself.
The whole time, the two of them barely said a word to each other.
After finishing their meal, Elnora quietly started tidying up after herself.
Just then, Albert reached out and placed his hand over hers to stop her.
‘You don’t have to clean up. I’ll handle it later. Why don’t you go rest for a bit?” he said.
Elnora didn’t respond to Albert. She simply finished cleaning up, then got up and walked out without another word.
Albert glanced at the freshly wiped table across from him, gave a wry chuckle, and looked toward Elnora.
Elnora simply walked out of the office.
Albert assumed she’d just gone out to throw something away and would be back soon.
But Elnora didn’t return.
He stepped out to ask around, and learned that Elnora had a habit of taking a walk downstairs after lunch every day.
Elnora and Elara were wandering around the flower beds downstairs, stretching their legs and letting their lunch settle.
ust then, Stella appeared, rolling her suitcase right up to Elnora and Elara.
Elara felt her mood drop instantly when she spotted Stella. She quickly turned to Elnora and said, “Ms. Finley, I just
emembered I still have some work to finish. Let’s head back.”
Elnora nodded, and the two of them started to leave.
Just then, Stella called out, stopping Elnora in her tracks.
‘Ms. Finley, Stella said, her voice barely above a whisper.
Elnora paused, turned to face Stella, and asked quietly, “What’s wrong?”
Stella bit her lip, her voice barely above a whisper. “Is that security footage real?”
Elnora didn’t respond.
Elara cut in, sounding annoyed. “Seriously, what does it matter to you if it’s real or not? Ms. Taylor, you’re just an artist here Just remember your role.”
Stella’s eyes went red. like she’d just been picked on.

Tm sorry It’s my fault. I forgot my place. I won’t bring it up again,” she said, her voice trembling.
She bit her lip hard, her face went pale.

Elnora shot Stella a dismissive glance and said flatly, “If you really want answers, you should be asking Albert, not me
