Chapter 3 I Will Never Forget You
1/8
The next day after work, Eloise drove her Volkswagen Polo and arrived early at the parking lot. She had a box of cold medicine in her bag, ready for the meeting. She kept her eyes fixed on the building exit, searching for Callan’s presence.
Eliza came out and engaged in a cheerful conversation with Adam. Now, Adam was Eliza’s immediate superior. Eliza had worked hard to secure a job at Girado Group because she wanted to be close to Adam. And now, her wish had come true.
Both Adam and Eliza noticed Eloise. Eliza felt a sense of satisfaction, hoping Eloise would witness their intimate conversation. However, Eloise was solely focused on Callan, who was walking behind Adam and Eliza. He stood out from the crowd due to his height and presence, making Eloise instantly recognize him.
She hurriedly approached him.

Observing Eloise’s approaching figure and flattering smile, Eliza thought, “Finally, I have a chance to show you serving me in front of Adam.”
Unexpectedly, Eloise walked past Eliza and Adam, heading towards their back.
Eliza stomped her feet, wondering, “What’s wrong with her?”

Adam furrowed his brow and turned around.

“Hello, Mr. Barone, do you remember me?” Eloise said, trying to flatter Callan.
Callan glanced at Eloise coldly and replied in a low voice, “I will never forget you!”
Eloise felt embarrassed and didn’t know how to respond for a
moment.
“Have… have you recovered from your cold? I brought this medicine for you,” Eloise said, taking out the cold medicine from her bag.
“No need,” Callan replied curtly.
He had already recovered from the cold.
“Mr. Barone, you have such a strong immune system,” Eloise complimented him with a thumbs–up.
“What are you insinuating?” Callan asked, his brow furrowing as he looked at Eloise.
“Insinuating? Me?” Eloise was puzzled.
She then realized that Callan might be referring to the incident from that night, assuming she was trying to get close to him because of it. But Eloise had no such intention at all.
“I didn’t mean that,” she whispered, lowering her voice.

She hadn‘ beautyworld260 is on TikTok. You both follow 4 of the same accounts.
Callan paused and said to her, “If you don’t want to work at Sava Company anymore, feel free to keep appearing in front of me!”
Eloise suddenly felt a sense of grievance. “Mr. Barone, I’m the one who has suffered a lot. Why are you still threatening me? I lost my project and I’m about to lose my job. I haven’t provoked anyone.”
If it weren’t for that night, she would have been preparing for Girado Group’s project.
Callan was slightly swayed by her words, recalling the blood on the bedsheet from that night. He remained silent.
Eloise was able to observe his face more closely now.
Under the June sunshine, he looked even more attractive. He had this cool and elegant demeanor, radiating a sense of nobility that kept people at a distance.
“What do you want exactly?” Callan’s tone softened a bit.
Eloise seemed to have an idea and her eyes lit up. “Mr. Barone, I hope you’ll reconsider our bid.”
Callan didn’t appreciate Eloise pushing her luck, so he ignored her and walked away.
Eloise quickly slipped the cold medicine into his suit pocket
Chapter 3 I Will Never Forget You when he wasn’t paying attention.
As Callan got into his car without even glancing at her, Eloise felt disappointed.
Adam and Eliza approached her at that moment.
Adam grabbed Eloise’s arm and pulled her aside, not wanting Eliza to overhear their conversation.
His action angered Eliza, who stood there with crossed arms, fuming.
“Eliza, she sent you that message, not me! I was drunk at the time!” Adam hurriedly explained, looking guilty.

Eloise kept her eyes fixed on Callan’s black Maybach as it drove out of the parking lot and onto the main road.
Meanwhile, Callan, in the car, casually glanced at the rearview mirror. He caught sight of Adam pulling Eloise’s arm and whispering to her…
At that moment, he felt something in his pocket. Taking it out, he realized it was the medicine Eloise had given him.
He snorted disdainfully and tossed it into the trash bin outside the window.
Eloise saw his car stop and something being thrown out of the window. Without even thinking, she knew what it was. Her heart sank, and she felt utterly hopeless.

What he threw away wasn’t medicine, but the two years‘ profit of Sava Company.
“Eloise, I can try to persuade Mr. Barone about the project, but can you forgive me? I really didn’t send that message. I was out of my mind that night, and she…” Adam still held onto Eloise’s
arm.
Eloise snorted and said decisively. “No matter who sent it, you make me sick! We can never go back!”
She wouldn’t reconcile with a man who betrayed her.
If he didn’t respect her, why should she show him any respect?
That day, Eloise received a WhatsApp message from Adam. It contained several pictures of him intimately involved with another woman on a bed.
The man was Adam, and the woman was Arabella Lane, the former campus beauty of Torri University, who was three years ahead of Eloise.
Arabella was in the same class as Adam and had always harbored feelings for him.
She also sent Eloise a message: [Eloise, let’s break up. She’s a better fit for me.]
The message hit Eloise like a ton of bricks, and she completely lost control that night.

Adam felt a bit awkward.
“Let’s go,” Eloise ignored Adam and turned to Eliza behind him.
“Eloise…” Adam called out to her.
Eloise ignored him and headed to the parking lot.
Reluctantly, Eliza got into Eloise’s car.
“What happened between you and Adam?” Eliza’s tone made it seem like she didn’t actually care about Eloise, but rather wanted to see her make a fool of herself.
“Nothing,” Eloise didn’t want to give Eliza a chance to mock her. “We’re fine.”
“Did you break up?” Eliza asked again.
Eloise didn’t respond, but her expression darkened.
Eliza believed they might have actually broken up.
She thought, “Since Eloise broke up with Adam, maybe it’s my turn now? After all, I work with Adam every day. I have plenty of opportunities to got alocon to L

Adam came from a good family and treated women well.
“What did you talk to Mr. Barone about?” Eliza inquired.
“It was about a project. They’re planning to cancel our cooperation,” Eloise casually mentioned.

Eliza was now working at Girado Group. Today, she heard that Callan had traveled to Kcos City a few days ago, and Eloise had also been there. Then, she heard that the project they had been negotiating was suddenly canceled for no apparent reason.
Eliza wondered if she could take advantage of the situation to set Eloise up.
Eloise had always outshone Eliza since they were kids. Although Medea often scolded Eloise, she would say to Eliza, “You can’t compete with Eloise in everything. You’re not as smart or as pretty as her. Why did I give birth to such a useless daughter?”
Over time, Eliza’s resentment towards Eloise grew in her heart.
Eliza believed she had to come up with a solid plan to ruin Eloise’s life this time.
Eloise had been driving all the while. She planned on working on the preliminary advertising plan for Girado Group tonight. This was something she should have done after winning the bid, but now it seemed a bit more challenging. Still, Eloise was determined to give it her all.
Chapter 3 I Will Never Forget You
At night, Eloise spent her time drawing, brainstorming ideas, and editing clips on her computer. She racked her brain until the next morning.
8/8
Eliza woke up and saw Eloise working so diligently. She asked, “What are you doing?”
“Working on the project plan,” Eloise replied casually. She
printed out the plan and planned to hand it over to Callan in the afternoon.
Eloise knew where Callan’s parking spot was and which car was his.
She planned to arrive early in the parking lot and wait for Callan.
Eliza looked at the detailed information prepared by Eloise and felt like she was about to snatch the Girado Group project away.
If Eloise succeeded, her commission for this project would likely exceed one million dollars.
That amount was far greater than Eliza’s salary and would surely make Medea scold her for a whole year.
Eliza wouldn’t tolerate such a thing happening, no way!
