Chapter 1598
"Mr. Rowe..." Elsie's voice was low and subdued.
Alban let out a cold laugh. "Yesterday, you said you wanted a few days off. Is it because you think you can make Joe fall for you in just a few days?"
Elsie's heart tightened, fear shadowing her every thought. She took a deep breath before saying, "Yes, Mr. Rowe."
"I think you're just using excuses to avoid me. Is it because you don't want to serve me? Do you find me repulsive?" Alban was clearly frustrated about something as he spoke sharply and aggressively over the phone.
Elsie tried to suppress her fear. "No, you're overthinking it, Mr. Rowe. I was just thinking about what I initially promised you. I believe there's still a chance to succeed.
"I met Mr. Martin yesterday, and his attitude toward me has already shifted slightly. I'm 50% sure that he will fall for me."
If it weren't for her memories of her past life, she wouldn't be so confident.
Her memories of the past life were crystal clear. Joe hadn't just liked her he had loved her obsessively. So, even if he couldn't yet recall their shared past, that love was etched into his soul. How could he possibly forget it so easily?
Earlier, she still had some reservations. She had felt like she was destroying Joe and Skylar's marriage, turning herself into the kind of mistress she had always despised.
But now...
Now she believed Skylar was the mistress.
Skylar was also someone who was reborn. If Skylar had been reborn just to change her own destiny, that would have been fine. But why did she have to alter Joe's fate and, in turn, Elsie's?
Now, Elsie longed for Joe to take her fiercely into his arms and cherish her like she deserved!
Alban was silent for a few minutes. During that time, Elsie couldn't stop replaying her memories. Each fragment of her past life tempted her to sink deeper into those thoughts.
How foolish had she been in her past life? Why hadn't she realized Joe's true feelings for her? Who else in this world could protect her as fiercely as he could?
"Fine. I'll give you one last chance," Alban finally said, his voice heavy.
What others didn't know was that Alban himself was currently facing a significant crisis. A misstep could cost his family everything.
In the entire Jipsburg, the only person capable of solving his problem was Joe. But someone like Joe wouldn't help anyone easily.
Thus, Alban tried everything he could.noveldrama
Elsie seemed like a potential. Although he had observed Joe's attitude toward her before and it wasn't promising, he still decided to give her a chance.
Elsie let out a sigh of relief after finally being granted a brief reprieve. "Thank you, Mr. Rowe. I won't disappoint you," she quickly replied.
Once she helped Joe remember their past life, she would make sure he crushed Alban just like before, exposing all of his dark dealings one by one. He wouldn't have another chance to harm her family
It was lunchtime, and Skylar was just about to invite Caleb to lunch when she noticed him on the phone, heading out.
After hanging up, Caleb didn't forget
to greet her. "I'll treat you to lunch in a couple of days. I've got something
to
the care of for now. See you in
the afternoon!"
"Alright," Skylar replied, raising an eyebrow as she watched Caleb leave.
Over the past few days, he had been disappearing right after work-was he in a relationship?
The thought made her smile. Young men his age should definitely start dating.
Just as she was grabbing her bag to leave, Caleb returned unexpectedly.
"I think she might not be into me. We agreed to have lunch together, but then she suddenly said she had work to do," he said, exasperated. He was on the phone again.
"Fine, I'll try again. But she might
actually be dating your brother. I accidentally saw her phone
wallpaper it was a man's hand. And that hand looked a lot like your brother's. Doesn't he have a scar on the back of his hand?"
"You should just ask your brother directly. It's been days, and I've been chasing Wendy non-stop. She doesn't even look at me.
"I'm handsome and rich-any woman I pursue usually falls for me. If she's ignoring me, it must be because her heart's with someone else. "Alright, I'm hanging up. I'll just order takeout for lunch."
