Chapter 285

The elevator doors slid open, revealing Sophia Reynolds standing directly in Evelyn Sullivan's path.

Sophia's eyes swept over Evelyn with an amused smirk.

"My, my. Someone's glowing today. Ethan must be treating you well."

Evelyn's ears turned pink. She shot her friend an indignant glare.

"Stop talking nonsense!"

Sophia blinked innocently.

"I merely meant you two have reconciled. Your mind went somewhere else, didn't it?"

Evelyn fell silent.

Leaning closer, Sophia lowered her voice. "That blush... Did something happen last night—"

"Director Reynolds!" Evelyn gritted her teeth. "Seems like your workload isn't heavy enough."

Sophia immediately raised her hands in surrender. "I'm off to work overtime!"

As they walked toward the lobby together, Evelyn suddenly remembered something.

"Is Alexander still bothering you?"

"Rejected him ages ago." Sophia waved a hand dismissively. "I'm seeing someone new now."

Evelyn's eyes lit up. "Who?"

"Top secret." Sophia flashed a mysterious smile. "I'll introduce you when things are more serious."

Outside the building, Ethan's Maybach waited by the curb.

Evelyn opened the car door to find a bouquet of sunflowers resting on the seat.

"You remembered these are my favorite?"

Ethan kept his eyes on the road. "The vase in our living room never runs out of them."

That simple statement warmed Evelyn's heart.

At Harmony Manor, a gray Rolls-Royce stood out conspicuously.

Inside, Adrian Sullivan was entertaining Grandma Sullivan with jokes.

His smile faded slightly when he saw them enter.

"I'll let you spend time with Grandma. I need some air in the garden."

As he passed by, Evelyn distinctly felt the weight of his lingering gaze.

Grandma Sullivan grasped Evelyn's hand tightly. "You've really made up?"

Ethan opened his mouth to speak, but Grandma cut him off with a glare.

"No one asked you! If this girl suffers again, you'll answer to me first!"

"Grandma..." Ethan's expression darkened.

Evelyn suppressed a laugh and intervened. "He's been good to me lately."

Grandma snorted. "He'd better be!"

Ethan pinched the bridge of his nose impassively.

Evelyn secretly squeezed his hand before turning back. "How is Adrian adjusting at Sullivan Corp?"
