Chapter 56 Was There Any Dirty Little Secrets
Elianna's heart was in turmoil. She used Jefferson to make a deal with Brett without his consent and was caught by Jefferson himself.
Elianna lamented how unlucky she was.
If Jefferson did not cooperate and exposed her lies, all her previous efforts would be for nothing.
Being watched anxiously by Elianna, Jefferson just glanced at the leftovers on the table. He wore a half-smile as he looked back at her.
"It turned out that you went out to dinner with another man. Haven't you filled your stomach yet?"
Though it sounded a bit odd, Elianna secretly breathed a sigh of relief that Jefferson didn't contradict her.
She held Jefferson's arm more tightly, and a smile curled the corners of her mouth. "I can have dinner with you."
Seeing that Jefferson and Elianna were sticking together, Brett was terrified. Brett was afraid that Jefferson would get him wrong, so he hurriedly explained.
"I, I came here to apologize to Ms. Gentry. Mr. Larsen and Ms. Gentry, since you have some business to attend to, I'm leaving now."
With that, Brett didn't dare to wait for Jefferson to reply and fled away.
When Elianna, who had been on edge, attempted to deceive Brett, she was totally relieved and unconsciously let go of Jefferson's arm.
Jefferson's arm, which her hands had warmed, suddenly began to cool as she released her grip.
A slight smile broke on his lips as he thought, "She didn't disguise that very well."
Cupping her face, Jefferson turned Elianna over. "You didn't bother pretending after you used up me?"
Elianna's face was distorted by his grip. She scowled in pain and turned.
Elianna was wondering how to explain to Jefferson when she suddenly saw Darren standing to the side.
Elianna's relationship with Jefferson was shady, so she instinctively pushed Jefferson away and took a few quick steps away when she saw any other members of the Larsen family.
She dodged so quickly that Jefferson was caught off guard, his hand pausing in mid-air.
Darren snorted out a laugh.
Darren was overjoyed. "You've held Jeff for so long. Isn't it too late for you to be discreet about your love affairs now?"
Listening to Darren's teasing tone, Elianna remembered that he knew about her affair with Jefferson.
Thanks to Darren, Elianna managed to get rid of Neil last time.
Elianna reacted and then awkwardly looked over at Jefferson, who was a few steps away.
Jefferson slowly lowered his hand and looked at Elianna, raising an eyebrow.
Just as Elianna was thinking how to make things right, Darren walked over to her.
Darren glanced at Jefferson and smiled at Elianna, "You just ducked so fast as if there was shady sh*t going on Jeff."
"Is that so, Jeff?"
"Oh?"
Jefferson pushed his tongue against the inside of his cheek. He was smiling, but he was dangerous.
"Anna, what do you think?"
Elianna froze. She laughed dryly and took little steps to come up to Jefferson.
"You gotta be joking! I was afraid that this stain of mine might tarnish Jefferson's glorious image, so I kept away from him."
Darren was surprised by her words. After a short pause, he smiled more broadly. "It's funny. It's very funny. It's worth a building." This content is © NôvelDrama.Org.
A building?
Elianna had no idea what Darren meant and looked at Jefferson in confusion.
However, Jefferson ignored her and walked towards the private room.
Watching Jefferson leave coldly, Elianna hesitated and wondered if she should follow.
"What are you waiting for? Let's go."
Darren greeted Elianna warmly.
"Uh, I just pissed Jefferson off. He probably doesn't want to see me anymore..."
Darren laughed and shook his head. "If he's really mad at you, would you still be standing here safe and sound?"
Seeing Elianna still hesitating, Darren was speechless. "If you run away now, Jeff will be really angry."
At Darren's urging, Elianna followed Jefferson into the private room.
Jefferson glanced at Elianna and snorted.
"You got some nerve."
Elianna cheekily walked over and sat next to Jefferson, whispering, "I told you that I would have dinner with you. How could I go back on my word?"
After Elianna finished speaking, she looked at Jefferson with those big innocent eyes and was afraid that he would kick her out.
