"Miss Hache," Evan called out.noveldrama

Paisley stopped and turned, thinking he had changed his mind.

Instead, Evan pointed at the gifts she had brought and said, "Please take those

with you. If you leave them here, I'll throw them in the trash."

Paisley turned back, grabbed the elegant bags, and stormed out. When she

closed the office door, she slammed it hard, making a loud bang-proof of how upset she was.

After leaving the office, Paisley recorded a short selfie video showing the gifts she brought, then panned to Evan's office floor and his office door.

She sent the video to an old classmate and asked them to share it with other mutual friends, especially those who were in contact with Abby-and to make sure it reached Abby.

The message was clear: she liked Evan and was going to pursue him too.

Evan was such a great catch that even though he'd rejected her once, she wasn't going to give up. She'd keep trying.

If she still failed in the end, at least she'd have no regrets-because she tried. Sure enough, Abby received the video soon after.

She didn't get angry. Instead, she forwarded the video to Evan.

But Evan didn't reply.

That's because he had already left the office and was on his way to Du Group to explain everything to Abby in person.

Not knowing this, Abby grew restless. She wondered why he didn't respond. Was he busy?

Or did he think it wasn't worth explaining?

Maybe he believed she trusted him enough to know he wouldn't fall for Paisley's

tricks, and that Paisley was just trying to ruin their relationship.

Besides, they weren't even officially together. She hadn't accepted him yet.

Still, Abby couldn't help feeling bothered.

Her expression was cold, her thoughts distracted. She kept checking her phone but never sent another message.

She wanted to several times-but stopped herself.

Why should she ask him?

It was his life. His choice.

If he really accepted those gifts or had any interest in Paisley, she'd walk away completely. She'd let go of her feelings without hesitation.

There were plenty of good men in the world.

She didn't need to be with Evan.

And if he thought using Paisley would push her into saying yes sooner, he was wrong. She wouldn't tolerate being manipulated. That was a dealbreaker. Ring, ring, ring...

The internal phone rang.

Abby answered. It was her oldest sister, Adalee, calling her to the president's office for a meeting.

Abby paused her work, grabbed her phone, and walked out. After a few steps, she turned back, placed her phone on the table, and covered it with a folder-just to stop herself from checking it again.

She wanted to prove to herself that she didn't care.

If Evan wanted to explain, fine. If not, that was fine too.

She didn't care.

Really!

Abby headed to the president's office.

The two sisters discussed work for over half an hour.

Once they wrapped up the business discussion, Adalee looked at her and asked,

"Abby, did something happen with Evan again? You seem distracted."
