DreameNovelChapter 146
Elysia felt a wave of guilt wash over her as she slapped her forehead lightly. "Oh gosh, I've been drinking way too
much wine lately-feels like my brain's turned to mush."
"That's not it." Amara knew exactly what was running through her friend's mind. She pulled a face and said, "Ely,
we aren't actually divorced."
"What?"
Elysia was momentarily stunned.
"Not divorced?"
"Yeah, we were supposed to meet at the city hall, but Finnian stoodup. When
| went to his office, he said he wasn't ready to sign the papers and would decide on it whenever he felt like it."
Elysia's temper flared up instantly as she cussed out, "That jerk! Why's he holding you back? Does he really think
you've got something going on with Keith?
And even if you and Keith did have something, isn't he doing the sthing? The nerve of him, he's such a
hypocrite!"
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAmara nodded vigorously. "Exactly, he's being so two-faced. It's infuriating!"
The more Amara thought about it, the more it made sense. Finnian was stalling probably because he was
irritated about her and Keith.
Initially, she wanted to explain the situation to him when the twas right, but now she realized there was no
point.
"No way, that jerk! I've got to go have it out with him!"
Elysia was someone who acted first and thought later. She put her champagne down on the hallway table and
turned to put on her shoes.
Amara quickly stopped her. "Don't bother. He's clearly not going to listen to reason. What's the point in talking to
him? Letfigure something out later."
Amara was worried Elysia would act impulsively. Elysia's hot-headedness really needed scooling down.
Elysia brushed Amara's hand away, ready to lecture her about not being so passive, but then she remembered
how Amara's timid nature was a result of years of pressure from Elowen and Fiona. It wasn't something that
would change overnight. So instead, she said, "Alright, we'll deal with it later."
Seeing Elysia calm down, Amara finally felt relieved. She picked up the bottle Elysia had brought. "This looks like
a good bottle of wine. Let's whip up something to eat. Thefridge is stocked; we can cook at home."
"Sure."
Amara and Elysia quickly got to work in the kitchen, prepping ingredients and ordering stakeout, though
they decided not to open the wine.
Elysia mentioned she had a meeting later that evening and wanted to stay clear- headed. Amara didn't question
it and insisted Elysia eat plenty.
After leaving Amara's apartment, Elysia hopped into her car, her eyes flickering with ideas. Instead of driving
home, she decided to head somewhere else.
"Finn, do you have any openings here? Could you find a spot for Jessica?"
In the lounge next to the president's office at Everly Group, Dorian sat down with Jessica across from Finnian.
Dorian had mentioned he needed a favor, and Finnian had been curious. He hadn't expected it to be about
finding a job for Jessica.
"Sure," Finnian replied. "What field is she interested in?"
"Mr. Everly, | majored in humanities and have done spart-twork in copywriting. | also speak some
languages, so translation wouldn't be a problem."
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmJessica was wearing a simple
cotton dress in white, with a
barely-there makeup look that made
her seem both innocent and
delicate. She sat quite close to
Dorian.
Finnian nodded. "I'll have Will handle it and find you a position."
Dorian had taken over the Hawke Group but hadn't brought Jessica on board, probably to avoid any gossip.
Remembering all the times Dorian had complained about Elysia, Finnian started to suspect that maybe things
weren't quite what they seemed.
