How a Dying Woman Rewrote Her Epilogue novel Chapter 59

Keith hadn't expected Elodie to ignore him.

He stared, baffled, at her receding figure disappearing down the hallway.

What on earth was with Elodie? She'd clearly seen him, yet hadn't even bothered to say hello.

"Keith?" someone beside him called.

Snapping out of his daze, Keith replied, "It's nothing. I'll report back to Mr. Silverstein with all the details."

Before leaving, he glanced once more in Elodie's direction, frowning.

What game was Elodie playing at this time?

Back on the top floor of The Silverstein Group.

Jarrod had just exited a meeting, scanning the reports handed to him by his assistants as he walked. Keith told the secretaries to return to their department and followed Jarrod into his office.

"Mr. Silverstein, the Kim & Co. side agreed to a one percent concession. They're being quite sincere. Please take a look."

Jarrod flipped through the documents and signed with barely a glance. "Good work."

Without looking up, he asked, "Any progress contacting Dr. Charlie Sterling?"

Sylvie had been eager to meet Dr. Sterling, and Jarrod was doing all he could to make it happen.

Keith hesitated. "It's been a challenge, sir. Dr. Sterling is notoriously private—he doesn't do casual meetings, rarely shows up at public events, and turns down most invitations. We'll need a new angle."

"As long as it gets done, I don't care what it takes or how much it costs." Jarrod closed his pen, his tone cool and matter-of-fact.

Keith knew how much Jarrod valued Sylvie. For someone like Dr. Sterling, Jarrod was willing to go to any lengths, just to help Sylvie gain a foothold and reputation in the field.

But—

"I just ran into Ms. Thorne at the Kim & Co. office." The memory of Elodie brushing him off made Keith sneer inwardly. Playing hard to get, was she?

Sooner or later, she'd have to come crawling back, begging for a chance to get close to Mr. Silverstein.

Jarrod's eyelashes flickered. "Did you."

"She's with Dr. Sterling now," Keith continued, unable to hide his disdain. "Acting like she's above everyone else."

Getting too big for her boots, that's what.

Now Jarrod finally looked up at Keith, his gaze cold and heavy with authority. "She's already joined VistaLink Technologies. Calling her ‘Ms. Thorne' isn't appropriate anymore. She may well be a partner in the future—watch your attitude."
