No More Waiting, She Chooses Love novel Chapter 110

Nothing gets past him, it seems.

I stepped back from his embrace, trying to defuse the awkwardness with a laugh. "You just crossed a line there, Dustin is our boss, and you're assigning him tasks?"

"Well, he came in later, didn't he? Would you rather have him assigning tasks to us?" Ernest's retort left me without a comeback.

Dustin might be out of his element, but that doesn't mean he knows what Ernest and I are doing.

"What, you wanna team up with him?" Ernest suddenly asked.

"Not in a million years," I denied, glancing at Ernest, just in time to catch a quick smirk crossing his face.

Work went on as usual for Ernest and me, with Dustin keeping his distance. However, Deborah came rushing over, "Felicia, what's the deal? Is the prince here to personally supervise the project?"

"Exactly, and he's here specifically to keep an eye on you. He'll be joining your team for the troubleshooting," I told her, watching her eyes go wide in disbelief.

"Felicia, that's not fair. I don't want to be teamed up with the prince. You two are a better match. He wouldn't dare scold you even if you mess up," Deborah immediately protested.

"I disagree," Ernest chimed in on my behalf.

Both Deborah and I turned to look at him. Ernest didn't meet our gazes, focused on his work, but that didn't stop him from replying, "I disagree."

His response caught both me and Deborah off guard.

Deborah looked at me, and I almost burst into laughter, biting my lip.

"Felicia, you see..."

Before Deborah could continue, Ernest intervened, "Ms. Hudson, could you come up here and check if there's any discrepancy with the current setup?"

Prompted by his request, I immediately got on the elevator lift. As it ascended, I could see Deborah pouting in frustration below.
