Never Late, Never Away Chapter 407

He knew that except for Evelyn, no other woman would be so daring to walk right in and sat there at his sofa.

She was wearing a white dress, one that outlined her slender figure. A pair of sunglasses with large lenses perched on her delicate features, covering most of her face. If Mark had not looked closely, he might not have recognized her at first glance.

“A while ago,” Evelyn replied. “Don’t you watch the news, Mr. Norton?”

“What news?” Mark had been so busy dealing with company matters lately, he literally had no time to catch up on the news.

Evelyn eyed Mark in disbelief before shaking her head, chuckling to herself. Such a major uproar has occurred, and you know nothing about it. You’re lagging behind the times, old man, if you keep refusing to stay in the loop. No wonder you’re no match for Finnick.

He might be a useless old fool, but… to her, he was an indispensable pawn in her plot.

Without answering Mark’s question, Evelyn rose from the sofa and surveyed his office. “I say, Mr. Norton, what a great office you’re got here. Despite the thrills and risks involved in the previous incident, you seemed to have gotten what you wanted.”

When Mark heard Evelyn mention the past, panic flashed across his face. Not wanting Evelyn to beat around the bush, he cut to the chase, “Why did you come back? Didn’t you promise me that you’ll never return?”

Evelyn sneered when she detected the nervousness and fear that had crossed the man’s face. “You’re the mole of the national soccer team, aren’t you? What are you afraid of? Are you finally feeling guilty now?”

“Evelyn, I’m warning you. Don’t forget that you’re also involved in that case. If this were to leak out to the public, both of us are done for,” Mark snapped at her. He did not like that Evelyn was able to remain composed while he felt the complete opposite.

He had a bad feeling about this. Compared to Evelyn as a young girl, Evelyn as an adult was craftier and more mature. She had evolved into a woman beyond his control and manipulation.
