How a Dying Woman Rewrote Her Epilogue novel Chapter 537

They were bound to discover a few dark horses.

Now, all that was left was to wait for further notice.

That afternoon, Elodie received a message from Patricia.

—[It’s my birthday this Saturday! I’ve booked a yacht for the day. Come join us for the party—and feel free to bring Esmeralda. If Mr. Sterling is free, he’s welcome too.]

Elodie thought about her plans for Saturday.

Nothing special was on her calendar.

She figured Patricia’s invitation was something she couldn’t easily turn down—after all, they’d been “comrades-in-arms” of sorts.

After a moment, Elodie replied: [Sounds great. I’ll let them know.]

Just then, Alexander came by with a revised tech proposal. Elodie took the chance to ask, “Want to come along?”

Alexander didn’t even look up. “You girls go ahead. I’d just be out of place.”

“Besides, I barely know her.”

Elodie gave him an amused look. “You’d know her better if you actually showed up. She invited you, you know.”

Finally, Alexander set down his pen, tapped the desk, and gave her a wry half-smile. “That was just being polite. If she really wanted me there, she’d have told me directly. Anyway, you all have fun. And you—don’t drink too much.”

With a breezy wave, he turned and disappeared back into his office.

Elodie could only shrug.

She headed out to Nexus Analytics to deal with the equity transfer paperwork.

She’d already notified Sylvie’s team; they needed to sign some documents as well.

Elodie had no intention of seeing Sylvie personally. She organized the files in her office, planning to swing by the Nexus Analytics plant to check up on the project progress.

Lately, VistaLink Technologies had launched several collaborations with Nexus Analytics. With Nexus handling manufacturing, things had been running both smoothly and efficiently.

Except—

Right as she was about to step into the elevator, she found Sylvie already inside, apparently waiting for it to move.
