Violette: [He might think I'm eating for two now, so I need to have more food.]
Odette: [Ha! What did he get you? Snap a pic and let me see!]
Violette took a picture of her loot for the night and sent it over. After seeing the picture, Odette called, "Did he also buy you jewelry? Ha-ha, is it a thing for men to buy jewelry for the women they like?"
Violette was speechless, "He has an ulterior motive."
"What is it?" Odette was puzzled.
"For the event next Monday." Violette had completely understood his scheming actions tonight. She had initially refused the jewelry and clothes, but he insisted on buying them for her. When she asked for a reason, he provided one.
Previously, she and Kylee had attended a signing event at the hotel. They were both wearing white sweaters and were mistaken for wearing couple outfits. She was also wearing a necklace gifted by Kylee, which sparked some controversy.
The issue was past, but not for Elijah.
Tonight, he took her shopping and chose a dress for her that matched the one he bought, as a couple outfit. The jewelry he bought her was a beautiful gemstone necklace. The color of the gem matched the cufflinks of the shirt he chose. He not only wanted to wear couple outfits with her but also wanted matching jewelry. All this because next Monday, the Dennis Group, the Bourne Group, and the border troops would sign an official contract.
Hearing Violette's words, Odette couldn't stop laughing, "How did I never notice he was such a schemer? Why didn't you refuse the couple outfit? If you had, he would surely have done something even more surprising!"
Violette was stunned. The events of that night were still vivid in her mind! Because he had pinned her down on the bed and tormented her for a long time. Sarah was right outside the room that night, and she saw everything. It was her first experience being the third wheel and getting caught on the spot.
She had never revealed to anyone what happened that night. Because Sarah was Elijah's official girlfriend at that time, and she was the outsider who intervened in their relationship.
"Are you sure?" She heard her own voice, ethereal yet filled with anxiety.
"I heard it when my husband and Brandon were drinking. Elijah has a dedicated bodyguard, right? That bodyguard knows where Elijah sleeps every night. The guard's salary is directly paid by rBrandon, so Brandon knows all about Elijah's personal life." Odette's reply left Violette choked up.
Being as drunk as he was, Elijah might not know anything. But Violette remembered that night clearly. He had no energy to deal with Sarah that night.
