She Left She Thrived She’s Worth Billions novel Chapter 1198

Melanie sat at her desk, currently on a call with Elias Carter.

"Oracle... Oracle?"

"Huh? What?"

Melanie snapped back to reality.

On the other end of the line, Elias sounded caught between amusement and frustration.

"I'm just saying, Oracle, you're the one who called me for a favor! Why are you the one spacing out? You've zoned out three times in the twenty minutes we've been on the phone."

Catching the distinct complaint in his voice, Melanie asked point-blank:

"Elias, you've had girlfriends before, right?"

Elias paused, caught off guard. "Yeah, of course! I've been dating pretty consistently since middle school. It's only since I started working that I haven't had the time. What's up, Oracle? Did you finally wise up, dump Preston, and decide to choose me instead?"

"Elias Carter."

Her tone shifted into something instantly freezing.

"If you keep messing around, I am going to block your number."

"My bad, my bad! I was wrong, Oracle," Elias apologized rapidly.

Being blocked by Melanie was practically synonymous with losing billions of dollars in future projects.

"A mundane guy like me could never deserve you. You and Preston are a match made in heaven!"

"Alright, enough. The question I have has absolutely nothing to do with him."

Elias froze. "Wait, really? I thought you were this distracted because of Preston."

"Do I look like the type to be completely brainwashed by love?"

"But we're talking about Preston Whitmore. With a face like that, even I'd be brainwashed by love!"

His teasing left Melanie exasperated but amused.
