Too Late to Hold Me Back novel Chapter 213

Liora puffed up her chest, looking fiercely adorable as she demanded answers.

What on earth was she talking about?

Harvey was entirely lost. Mira quickly stepped between them to run interference.

"No, no, you've got it all wrong. He was just asking me about the review materials Mr. Harth is putting together."

"Mira, are you sure he wasn't trying to snoop?" Liora had finally wised up, carefully avoiding the word "stocks."

She remembered that when she and Celine had been discussing their investments that morning, Harvey hadn't been far away.

The more she thought about it, the more plausible it seemed.

Harvey finally caught on. She was talking about that morning.

He hadn't intentionally eavesdropped; they had just been broadcasting their conversation for anyone in earshot to hear.

"I..."

"Alright, alright. I've told you everything you wanted to know. You can head back now," Mira interrupted smoothly.

Harvey had wanted to point out that if they didn't want people listening, they shouldn't speak so loudly, but Mira cut him off.

Liora was terrible at keeping secrets. It had taken a miracle for her to learn even a little restraint. If they started bickering, she'd likely blurt everything out in a panic.

And who knew who else might be listening?

"He... He..."

"Forget about him. Just remember to watch what you say from now on."

Mira firmly guided Liora away.

Celine chimed in to soothe her. "Yeah, it was our own fault anyway. Let's not start trouble. I got too excited and forgot to check my surroundings."

"Enough. Let's drop it."

Elara stood to the side, completely lost. But the girl was remarkably mature; if someone didn't volunteer information, she never pried.

It was one of the reasons Mira liked her so much.

Once they were back at their desks, Mira couldn't help but ask, "How much money have you managed to save up by now?"

She had helped her other friends and her subordinates, leaving only this hardworking classmate. Mira felt a twinge of guilt leaving her out.

"A good amount! I've saved a thousand dollars. Thank you so much..."
