How a Dying Woman Rewrote Her Epilogue novel Chapter 66

The professor didn't answer her.

He was probably still upset with her.

Elodie knew she couldn't rush things—hearts didn't turn cold overnight.

After years spent struggling in a loveless marriage, she understood that feeling all too well.

Later, on her way to meet a client, Elodie unexpectedly ran into Jarrod.

He'd just arrived at the entrance to the event hall, where a staff member greeted him.

For once, Sylvie wasn't at his side, which was a surprise.

Jarrod noticed Elodie, too. He glanced over with a languid, unreadable look in his eyes—dark and inscrutable.

Elodie subtly frowned.

Was it just her, or was Jarrod's gaze on her a little odd today?

Normally, he would have ignored her completely, never granting her so much as a second look.

She didn't greet him, just walked straight into the company building.

There was no point, anyway. Even if she tried, he'd never respond—only leave her standing there, embarrassed.

Back at VistaLink Technologies, Elodie finally learned from Alexander that Mr. Patrick had replied. He considered their three-year plan feasible and agreed to make them a priority project for support.

The tension in Elodie's chest eased, and for once, she allowed herself a small smile.

Then Alexander added, with a knowing look, "There's one more thing."

"Sylvie got a polite rejection from Mr. Patrick's side."

Elodie felt nothing in particular. Ever since she'd heard that Jarrod brought Sylvie to meet Mr. Patrick, she knew they were competitors. VistaLink Technologies had won—Sylvie's fate was inevitable.

Still...

Elodie's elegant brows twitched slightly.

She suddenly recalled the way Jarrod had looked at her earlier.

He and Sylvie must have learned the outcome before she did. No wonder he'd actually spared her a glance.
