Chapter 325: Chapter 325: Improper Relationship
Looking at Yara Reagan’s cautious expression, Evelyn Clayton couldn’t help but laugh.
Her brows and eyes were curved, her long eyelashes thick like raven feathers, trembling slightly, covering the fleeting sadness in her eyes.
"I know, I never intended to do anything. I’ll gradually distance myself from him. If I hadn’t mistakenly sent that message today, he wouldn’t have shown up here." Evelyn curved her lips, her expression calm, "As for Lynn Yates... she’s excellent and a good match for James Grant."
Yara Reagan puffed up angrily, "What kind of talk is that?! Are you saying you’re not excellent? You’re the best! James Grant is the one who’s unlucky for not having you!"
A trace of helplessness appeared on Evelyn’s beautiful cheeks, seeming indulgent, "The way you say it, it’s as if I’m a fairy?"
"But you are!" Yara Reagan hugged Evelyn tightly, rubbing against her, "You are a fairy to me!"
The warmth of her friend’s embrace made Evelyn’s nose inexplicably sting, tears welling up.
She could feel that Yara Reagan, although speaking like this, was actually feeling sorry for her.
But Yara Reagan never wanted to give in, nor let anyone pity her, including herself.
So she chose this way to comfort her.
Evelyn was contented to hug her friend and draw strength from each other, the two girls supporting each other in the rain-drenched world.
"Regarding work, I might have to trouble you more recently. Let’s take a closer look at the selected companies, better to slow down and be meticulous, rather than ruin our reputation."
Evelyn and Yara Reagan chatted casually, "Slow and steady is our strategic policy!"
Yara Reagan was amused, "Alright, I’ll listen to you, the big boss. By the way, the exhibition was successfully completed, and the wages at the factory have also been settled, but the bonuses haven’t been issued yet. Shall I draft a list for you to check?"
"No worries, I’ll trust you."
This time, Evelyn was also a bit apprehensive. Her health hadn’t been this weak before; perhaps she was really hurt this time?
She believed that health is the capital for work and was considering taking a good rest for a while.
Yara Reagan also agreed with Evelyn’s idea. They chatted idly for a long time and got a bit hungry.
"This is from the private kitchen delivered this morning, is it still edible?" Evelyn went to heat the food, picking and choosing, but was never satisfied, "Maybe it’s better to order fresh? I remember you don’t like leftovers."
Yara Reagan was half-full from snacks, lazily saying, "Anything works, or we can just eat a bit and have someone come over tonight to cook for us!"
Evelyn pondered for a bit and could only recall one person skilled in cooking: "How about asking Iris Lockwood?"
"Sure, after all, you’re her sister. It’s only natural for her to take care of you!" Yara Reagan hummed in agreement.
Evelyn chuckled and shook her head, putting the food into the microwave to heat up.
They ate a bit simply, and after eating, both felt sleepy and went to the bedroom to snuggle and nap together.
Perhaps because she had someone accompanying her, Evelyn slept soundly this time, and it was already dark when she woke up.
Yara Reagan groped for her phone groggily, "Oh dear, it’s almost ten..."
Evelyn rubbed her eyes, "Should we still call Iris Lockwood?"
Yara Reagan, still half-asleep, muttered something that Evelyn, beside her, didn’t quite catch.
Just as she was about to ask again, the phone suddenly rang.
Coincidentally, it was a call from Iris Lockwood.
Evelyn became a bit more awake and answered, with a slight smile in her voice, "I was just saying, I was about to call you."
Iris Lockwood was silent for a moment, and when she spoke, her voice was somewhat tense.
"Have you, have you already heard?"
The smile still lingered at the corners of Evelyn’s lips, her tone puzzled, "Heard about what?"
Iris Lockwood realized she had let something slip and was full of regret in her voice.
"Just now, a photo went viral, it’s, it’s a picture of James Grant at your house!"
"Now it’s trending, saying James Grant betrayed his fiancée and had an affair with you, claiming you two have an improper relationship..."
