How a Dying Woman Rewrote Her Epilogue novel Chapter 106

Confident and poised.

He couldn't help but recall how Elodie had all but thrown herself at Jarrod…

"So what's Elodie's story?" Naylor mused, swirling his glass.

Grady considered for a moment. "She's with VistaLink Technologies these days. I think she's Mr. Sterling's assistant. But to be honest, I get the feeling there's a lot more going on between them."

For a man with Alexander's reputation to pay that much attention to a married woman like Elodie? Grady couldn't imagine any explanation—except the obvious one.

It just made him think Elodie had no shame left at all.

Naylor actually looked surprised.

He caught Grady's implication instantly. Alexander was well known in their circles—impeccable reputation, never a hint of scandal, never seen flirting at a business dinner. He was practically the poster child for restraint.

So if Grady was right, that meant Elodie was stringing Alexander along—and now she had her sights set on Jarrod too?

Grady frowned. "Why the sudden interest in her?"

Naylor clinked his glass against Grady's and gave a wry smile. "Just goes to show, you never really know someone. Who can say what monsters are hiding under a pretty face?"

With that, he felt a twinge of sympathy for Sylvie. To be singled out by a woman like that—just so she could get a man's attention—it was almost pitiful.

"What are you two talking about?" Sylvie approached, carefully lifting the hem of her dress, her gentle smile lighting up her face as she nodded hello to Naylor.
