How a Dying Woman Rewrote Her Epilogue novel Chapter 207

She simply thought that his affairs had nothing to do with her.

Some things were better kept to oneself, she believed.

Esmeralda looked surprised for a moment, but soon found herself swept up by Elodie's easygoing composure.

She nodded in agreement. "True. For most adults, dignity is just silence and indifference."

Elodie glanced at her watch.

"Wasn't your interview with Nexus Analytics scheduled for ten?" she asked.

Esmeralda nodded. "Yeah, Alex asked me to go with you."

Elodie didn’t give it much thought and stood up. "Let’s head over now and try to wrap things up early."

There was still a mountain of work left for the project, and every step needed careful oversight.

They arrived at the Nexus Analytics Building.

Waiting to greet them was Jason, whom they’d met before.

With a cheerful grin, Jason led them into the lounge and called for some tea. "Ms. Mercer, Ms. Thorne—good to see you both again. Why don’t you have some tea while we wait, and we’ll get started soon?"

Esmeralda looked puzzled. "No need, let’s get straight to the point. No sense wasting time."

She wanted to finish up quickly and head out to lunch with Elodie.

Jason hesitated, forcing a smile. "I’m really sorry, but there’s a bit of a situation. You probably know Ms. Fielding is heading this project now. She’s still over at The Silverstein Group, in a meeting with Mr. Silverstein. I’m afraid we’ll have to wait a little while."

Elodie finally looked up, her eyes cool and clear.

This meeting had been set yesterday.

And now they were being kept waiting?

Straightforward as always, Esmeralda chuckled. "Jason, I have to ask—you’ve been with Nexus Analytics for ages. The company is filled with seasoned pros like you. How come everyone’s so willing to let a young newcomer swoop in and take charge of such a big project?"

No objections at all?
