Joseph couldn’t hide the shock on his face any longer.
Could it be…?
Was Elodie’s name listed on the VistaLink Technologies project because she genuinely contributed to its development—not because Alexander pulled strings to give her credit?
The idea hit him like a sledgehammer, echoing in his mind and crowding out all other thoughts.
He sat there, lost in contemplation for a long while.
It wasn’t until Freya nudged him that he finally snapped out of it and drove her to school.
Right on cue, his phone rang. It was Maurice, asking him to come by The Silverstein Group.
Joseph hesitated for a moment before agreeing.
When he arrived, he headed straight for the top floor.
He was surprised to find Sylvie there as well. Suspicion flickered in his eyes.
Across the office, Jarrod was seated on the sofa, flipping through a stack of documents.
Aside from Maurice and Sylvie, there were two other well-dressed men in suits.
“What took you so long?” Maurice called out, glancing over. Then, with a smirk, he teased, “Don’t tell me you’re hiding a secret romance from us?”
Sylvie turned her gaze slowly toward Joseph, studying his reaction. “Is that true?” she asked, her tone light but curious.
Even Jarrod looked up from his paperwork.
But Joseph’s expression didn’t change. “No,” he replied simply.
Sylvie raised an eyebrow, unsurprised.
Joseph was different from Maurice. Maurice had dated a few people here and there, but Joseph was famously particular when it came to relationships—his standards were high, and his expectations even higher. If he ever did get serious about someone, it would mean she was truly exceptional—and he’d have introduced her to them by now.
But the truth was, Joseph had no such intentions.
He didn’t bother to dwell on the subject, glancing thoughtfully at Jarrod instead.
If his guess was right—if Elodie really had been involved in the development of the VistaLink Technologies project—should he bring it up to Jarrod?
Did Jarrod know already?
