“| slapped Melinda,” Odette confessed. “I know it was impulsive, but if | had the chance to do it all over again, I’d still do it! She’s not even the boss of the Bourne Group yet, but she was giving me a hard time!”
Violette listened. Her mood was still heavy. It was wrong of Odette to throw the first punch, but that was between her and Melinda. Was it necessary for Elijah, as a man, to get involved?
“That jerk, Elijah, I'll never forgive him! Surely he never cares about my forgiveness!” Odette declared, giving Violette a look. “Violette, my issues with Elijah have nothing to do with you. Don’t let me influence you. | was hit because | couldn't keep my mouth shut. He didn’t just do it for Melinda.”
“Odette, no matter what you said to him, he had no right to hit you.” Violette brought up a past incident, “He nearly choked lan to death once. lan still hates him for it. | suspect he knows that lan is his son. Because of his past mistakes, he doesn’t dare acknowledge him. He knows lan would never accept him.”
Odette stared blankly. “Should | be grateful that he only slapped me?”
“He has a terrible temper.” Violette pulled out a tube of ointment from her bag and handed it to Odette. “Odette, stay away from
him.
“| certainly will. | won’t forgive him unless he apologizes. Well, even if he apologizes to me, | won’t!” Odette huffed, “But if you want to make amends with him for the sake of the baby, | won’t hold it against you.”
“Odette, you’re my best friend. If he hits you, it’s like he’s hitting me,” Violette said.From NôvelDrama.Org.
“Oh, Violette, | knew you'd take my side! But you’re pregnant now. | don’t want you to worry about this.” Odette gripped her hand. “The doctor said you need to rest more, but you made the effort to come and see me. I’m really moved. Don’t argue with Elijah over this. | don’t want you to stress out and harm yourself.”
“| know my limits.”
The next day, in the morning. Violette, wearing a light blue maternity dress, appeared at the Bourne Group building.
Since she didn’t make an appointment, she stood on the first floor, waiting for the front desk to announce her arrival. About five minutes later, the elevator door slowly opened in the distance.
Joey walked out briskly. He approached Violette with a warm smile on his face. “Violette, what brings you here all of sudden?” Violette answered, “I felt like coming.”
Joey knew perfectly well why she was here, but still pretended to be clueless. “My boss is a bit busy at the moment and is not in his office. Would you mind waiting in his office?”
Violette replied, “Sure.”
They both entered the elevator, one after the other.
Once the elevator door closed, Joey glanced at her belly. “Your belly is bigger than before. Are you tired?” Violette said, “Not tired.”
Joey asked, “Oh, how are your prenatal check-ups?”
Violette replied, “Not good.”

“... What are you holding?” He awkwardly changed the subject.
