Obsession With Mr. Right novel Chapter 268

How could he see through the meaning behind her words? William completely ignored what Elizabeth had said, it was as if she wasn't even there.

Elizabeth on the other hand wanted to disappear into thin air out of embarrassment as she had gotten no reply.

Did William think that she would give up just because he had ignored her? Elizabeth was clear about the feelings Paisley's feelings towards William.

Paisley should be burning with jealously now as William and Valeria were flirting with each other in front of her.

All she needed to do was to give Paisley a little push and she could get into Paisley's good graces.

Paisley must be desperate for someone to step in and back her up right now.

Elizabeth decided to suck up to Paisley instead by filling up her plate , Miss Anthony, I hope you're enjoying the food.How is it working with William?"

"It's alright," Paisley replied coldly, having heard about all of Elizabeth’ s cunning tricks.

Paisley was smart enough not to fall into Elizabeth's trap.

Taking Elizabeth's side would be the most foolish thing to do as she would be offending both Hayden and William.

Elizabeth did not give up even though she was met with a cold reply.

"Are you getting along with William?"

"Yeah, Mr.Howard has been kind enough to take care of me"

Paisley couldn't believe that Elizabeth was actually asking about her relationship with William when everyone had their eyes on the new couple.

Had William not embarrassed Elizabeth enough after blatantly ignoring her in front of everyone? She had planned to ignore Elizabeth throughout the dinner too, but Elizabeth's remark had crossed the line.

Paisley moved the food that Elizabeth had given her to the side of the plate.

Elizabeth was furious.

This meant that Paisley was indicating that she was refusing to go along with Elizabeth's plans.

Even though she appeared calm on the surface, she was actually secretly enraged at how both Paisley and William had ignored her.

Elizabeth tried to approach Paisley once more after calming herself down.

"Ms.Anthony, please continue to take care of William at work.Despite his cold appearance, he's actually a warm-hearted person! He might not be as capable as you but this is William's first job after all.He might be a little stubborn as well because he has been spoiled by Mr.Howard, but please just bear with him for a little bit."

Valeria had been planning to ignore their conversation but Elizabeth’ s words had piqued her curiosity, "Why William, I didn't know that you were so close with Madam Howard?"

William returned her smile as he handed a bowl of soup to her, "Leave her be.She reminds me of crow.Those creatures enjoy the attention given to them.The more you pay attention to her, the louder she caws."

Elizabeth felt that she was about to explode with rage when she heard that she was being compared to a crow.

If she could not convince William or Paisley to side with her, she would have a go at Valeria instead.

Elizabeth turned to Valeria and glared at her coldly, "This is a dinner for the senior executives of the Howard Group.Even if you were still an employee, you would have no right to attend.Oh right, that reminds me, you've already resigned..."

William cut her off almost immediately, "Don't you dare question my authority.Are you saying that I can't bring my girlfriend along with me to events now?"

Silence had fallen upon the once boisterous hall.

Elizabeth couldn't believe that William was going against her in front of all the other senior executives.

Elizabeth had never had a solid position in the Howard family as Hayden never paid any attention to her.

However, William had never meddled in her affairs and he had always put up a polite facade in front of her, until now.
