Zach said, “Elvira, I’m sorry. L…
Zach wanted to come clean with her, Elvira leaned over and kissed his lips. Her dark eyes, sparkling like a galaxy, were filled with tenderness toward him. “It’s tough for you to owe so many favors like this, right?” she asked.
Zach was befuddled.
“Many people helped me at the banquet yesterday,” Elvira said. “You asked your friend with the surname Riley to do it, right? Even though you saved his life, you can’t keep relying on this to trouble him. It’s difficult to repay a debt of gratitude. Let’s treat Mr. Riley to a meal to express our gratitude when we get a chance to do so.” Elvira’s gaze was extremely pure. There was not a trace of doubt about Zach’s identity. Zach felt like his heart was being squeezed tightly, feeling a sensation of soreness and swelling
Zach said, “Elvira, actually L… He wanted to tell her his true identity
“Yes?” Elvira said. “What do you want to say?” Her eyes, pure and innocent like a deer’s, were filled with trust toward him. She had never doubted a single word he said.
Seeing her gaze, he couldn’t continue with what he was going to sy. He hugged her tightly and said, “Let’s treat Spike to a meal when we get a chance to do so.”
“Alright, Elvira said. “Whatever you decide.” She snuggled in his arms and adjusted her posture into a comfortable one. The two of them fell asleep in each other’s arms.
The next day, Elvira continued to familiarize herself with the company’s business. The female employees noticed that this new female employee was very close to Cole. Cole acted like a bootlicker every day. Those female employees had negative feelings toward Elvira.
They thought, In our hearts, Mr. Bennett has always been pure–hearted and ascetic. As long as he doesn’t have a girlfriend he belongs to all of us. Ever since this person called Elvira came, Mr. Bennett has changed. He personally serves coffee, pours water, and buys meals for Elvira every day, almost to the point that he wishes he could personally send her to the washroom! This groveling attitude is the most obsequious we’ve ever seen! Mr. Bennett is worth over 20 million dollars now, for goodness‘ sake… What does Elvira have to deserve such treatment!
Therefore, Elvira was now the public enemy of almost all the female employees in the company.
After arriving at the company. Elvira had been busy familiarizing herself with various tasks. If she needed the help of her subordinates, Cole would take care of it. She did not notice that the female employees of the company were so hostile toward her.
When it was almost noon, Zach called Elvira to ask her out for lunch. Elvira was busy with a task, so she said, “I may not have time at noon. I intend to grab something downstairs. You go ahead and have your lunch.”
“Alright,” Zach said. Til bring you to Grandma’s place for dinner tonight? Zach asked her what she thought about that.
“Sure,” Elvira replied.
“You’re not allowed to neglect yourself,” Zach said. “Eat well. If you lose weight, I’ll have to supervise you at every meal in the future.” Zach was worried that she would not eat well because of work
Got it,” Elvira said. “I’ll go now. Fll hang up first.” She put away her notebook and smiled helplessly.
“Give me a kiss before hanging up,” Zach requested. Not being able to see her made his heart feel empty.

“Someone’s here!” Elvira said as she glanced at Cole, who was studying data seriously. Tm not that bold, she thought..

Zach instantly understood that it was the man called Cole. He was even more unwilling to let her go. “If you don’t kiss me, I won’t hang up,” he said.
“Mwah mwah, Elvira said. ‘Okay. Go eat now.” She was somewhat speechless as she coaxed this big baby.
It was only then that Zach hung up the phone in satisfaction.
When Elvira put down her phone and looked at Cole, she saw him staring at her with his eyes frightened.
She was at a loss for words,
She thought, “Haha. See? I told him that I shouldn’t send him a lass. I scared a kid!”

open, looking
“My husband is a little clingy,” Elvira said. “It’s time for lunch I’m going downstairs to have spaghetti. Do you want to join me?” Elvira’s questions were unnecessary. As long as she was around, Cole would eat with her.
“Sure,” Cole replied indifferently and looked away awkwardly
After they finished putting away their stuff, they went downstairs together. When they passed by the office outside, they attracted another wave of envy, jealousy, and hatred.
Elvira and Cole took the elevator to the first floor, discussing work as they walked. When they walked out of the company’s main entrance, someone suddenly rushed toward Elvira from the side and splashed unknown liquid toward her.
“Elvira, you slut. How dare you tarnish Judy’s reputation? Go to hell!”
Elvira heard the voice and looked over. She saw a crazed woman holding a glass and splashing unknown liquid toward her. She wanted to step back to dodge, but Cole had already grabbed her and forcefully pulled her toward where he was standing. At the same time, he switched positions with Elvira and protected her closely to prevent the crazy woman from harming her.
A pungent smell wafted over. Elvira lifted her head to look at Cole, who was protecting her. The veins on his forehead were bulging, and his expression looked extremely terrifying.
Elvira quickly pulled Cole away and saw that a large area of his back was burnt.
It was sulfuric acid
The security guards had already run out when they heard the commotion. They had grabbed this crazy woman.
The crazed woman shouted like a madwoman, saying, “Haha. Elvira, you’ll die a horrible death! How dare you frame Judy? I’m going to destroy you!”
Elvira held Cole’s swaying body and shouted anxiously, “Hurry up and help me hail a cab!”
The security guards immediately went to hail a cab. Elvira’s eye were as cold as winter icicles. She wished she could kill this
but right now, she had to send Cole to the hospital first
crazy
woman,
As they headed to the hospital, Cole had a pained expression on his face. Elvira let him partly lean against her, revealing half of his back that was burned.
“Hang in there,” Elvira said. “We’ll reach the hospital soon.” She was so anxious that she wished she could fly to the hospital right away.
Tm fine, Cole replied softly. “It’s just a minor injury. I’ll recover soon” Smelling the fragrance on her body, he felt strangely at ease and even wanted to sleep.

He had always liked the scent of her body.

“How can this be a minor injury?” Elvira said. “Why are you so foolish? You don’t have to shield me from the liquid.” Elvira really wanted to cry, but she could not cry!
Crying now would only cause more chaos. She had to stay strong.
“Didn’t you shield for me before?” Cole said. “I’m happy that I can shield for you now.” Cole was glad that he could finally protect her.
“That’s different!” Elvira said. “When I shielded for you, it’s because I knew there wouldn’t be any danger.” She was anxious. Cold sweat broke out on her forehead.
Cole said, “But… I’m really happy.” With that said, he fainted.
Elvira couldn’t hold back anymore. Tears streamed down her face. She pleaded with the driver, saying, “Sir, please go faster. I’ll give you ten times the fare!”
The driver accelerated to the maximum speed. Within ten minutes, they reached the nearest hospital. However, for Elvira, it still felt like an eternity. When they arrived at the hospital, Cole was taken into the emergency room. Elvira immediately called Olivia and asked if she had time to come over.
After bearing Elvira’s account of what happened, Olivia immediately stopped what she was doing and rushed to the hospital.
