LittleNovelChapter 303:
With Troy and Darren’s help, Elyse slipped past the paparazzi and made it to the hospital for treatment. Holding
his laptop bag, Troy stood faithfully by her side. As the doctor took care of her injuries, he tried to sound older
than his years. “Mrs. Owen, the boss requested that | ensure your safe return honce your bandage is taken
care of.”
Elyse blinked, giving him a good look. “Troy, how old are you? Are you an adult?”
Clearing his throat, Troy said, “I'm 19. | see myself as mature.”
“Are you still in college?” she asked with interest.
“Yeah, I'm a student,” he replied and nodded. “But | consider myself very responsible. If you need anything, you
can always reach out. I'm happy to help.”
Elyse smiled kindly. “Thanks, Troy.”

Her gentle smile made Troy scratch his head bashfully. “I'll take you hnow. The boss should be back soon.”
“Understood,” Elyse replied. Troy drove her home. Once there, Elyse thought about inviting him to dinner, but he
declined politely. Troy had to return and review the surveillance footage to gather evidence that would clear
Elyse’s name. After he left, Elyse pulled out her phone to see that several pictures of her with Theo had gone
viral. That paparazzo had snapped them in various poses, including one that made it appear as though they
were sharing an intimate kiss.
Before long, Elyse was trending for all the wrong reasons. “#ElyseCheatingWithHerEx” was trending as one of
the most popular hashtags. Scanning through the comments, she was bombarded with harsh accusations of
exploiting Mabel and infidelity, with more people siding with Mabel.

Disheartened, Elyse put her phone down. She understood that staying away from the comments was the only
way to protect herself from the hurt they caused.
In an office of the Bayzee Group, Jayden worked methodically, focused on his tasks. The sound of knocking broke
his concentration. “Cin,” Jayden called.
Eva carefully set a document on his desk and informed him, “Mr. Owen, the CEO of our partner company, is here
to see you. He'd like to have dinner tonight to talk about cooperation.”
Jayden didn’t hesitate. He replied coldly, “No, | have dinner plans at htonight. Tell him the partnership is off,
and there's no room for negotiation.”
Eva couldn't help but be intrigued by Jayden’s cold, commanding attitude but kept her composure. After Tobin
left that afternoon, Eva finally had a chance to walk into Jayden'’s office. It was usually tough to talk to him. After
thinking it over, Eva asked, “The secretaries are having a dinner gathering tonight, Mr. Owen. Would you like to
join us?”
In truth, she made up the invitation hoping to have dinner alone with Jayden. If Jayden said yes, she would treat
her colleagues to dinner. If he declined, she wouldn't offer. Without looking up, Jayden replied, “Thanks, but you
all go ahead. I'd rather have dinner at home.”
“Understood, Mr. Owen,” Eva acknowledged dutifully before stepping out of the office. Once the door was closed,

isn’t he single?”
Rumors about Jayden circulated online occasionally, but Eva wrote them off as the efforts of women hoping to
get his attention. Still, she couldn't shake the suspicion that his unwavering dinner routine hinted at someone
waiting for him at home.
When Eva returned to the secretary's office, she glanced at Mia Fuller, the head secretary. With a curious look,
she approached her. “Mia, is Mr. Owen single?”
Mia adjusted her glasses before answering, “I've got a feeling he might have a girlfriend.”
“How do you know?” Eva asked, visibly surprised.
Mia smiled and said with a playful warning, “No gossiping on the job. If you keep asking, | might have to deduct
your pay.”
Eva looked taken aback. “Please don't. I'll get right back to work.”
