Chapter 11
It wasn’t until her lips stung that Elvira awoke from her daze. She pushed Zach away and turned her head. Zach, however, wanted more. He bit her delicate earlobe.
“Mr. Gilbert, please… stop… Elvira couldn’t take it anymore. She was panting, her cheeks flushed. Her dark eyes glistened alluringly.
Zach parted from her. Both of them were sweating. The atmosphere was quite ambiguous.
“Elvira” Zach looked at her. This was the first time a woman made him lose control and ignited his powerful desires.
Elvira felt awkward. She sensed that Zach was dangerous but couldn’t seem to
Elvira looked at him. His body was hot. “Yes?” El avoid him.
“Are you and your ex broken up?” Zach stared into her eyes.
“Yes. I won’t accept a fickle man like him,” Elvira answered firmly. As though remembering something, Elvira added, “Don’t worry. I won’t get involved with other men while we’re married. I’ve principles.”
Zach responded. “I didn’t mean that. I mean, if you’re single, give me a
chance.”
Elvira was shocked. Zach had said they would divorce once his grandmother recovered. ‘Why is he suggesting this suddenly?” she wondered.
“What? You don’t want?” When Zach felt he was about to combust from within, he straightened and let her off.
Elvira didn’t know what to say. Zach was good, handsome, and kind. He would be a good husband if they got along. She also liked Tracy. However, her family was complicated and Elvira didn’t want to drag him in.
“Forget what I said then. Zach didn’t want to force her. Any man would lose control over what happened this morning. He was the same.
Zach left the bedroom. Elvira looked at the closed door and sighed. She hugged her knees and soon was lost in thought.
Zach took a cold shower. Being rejected irritated him. When he returned, he appeared expressionless and cold. After changing, he left, ignoring Tracy’s call to eat.
Elvira ate breakfast with a mixture of feelings in her heart. Tracy complained about Zach but soon urged Elvira to eat more.
After breakfast, Elvira went to work. She worked at a branch of Willis Group, as requested by Vincent. Because Marsh was in their hands, Elvira had to listen.
Elvira knew it was probably Amber’s doing. Amber wanted to ruin her and her brother, preventing them from achieving anything. She wanted Judy to outshine them. Elvira thought that compromising would save Marsh. It didn’t seem to work. Elvira didn’t want to endure anymore. She would resign today.
Elvira typed out her resignation letter in the office. When her supervisor arrived, she went to him and handed it in
“What’s this!” Randall Harding looked at the resignation letter.
Randall was Amber’s nephew. Amber wanted Randall to keep an
ep an eye on
on Elvira so she wouldn’t amount to anything.
“Tm resigning, Mr. Harding. You should find a replacement, Elvira said.
“Did you tell your father? Did he agree?” Randall didn’t want Elvira to leave. Amber had told him not to let Elvira escape his control.
“I’ve already resigned. I’m leaving.” Elvira turned to leave.
“Hold on. You should at least finish the work you have at hand, right?” Randall could only slow Elvira down so he could find a
solution.
“Okay, I’ll give you a week. Then, I’m not coming back.” With that, Elvira left.

Randall quickly called Amber. Amber’s eyes gleamed and she gave Randall some instructions.
