Chapter 381: Chapter 381: My Greatest Love Is You
"Hey, perfect timing, our General Manager is done, let’s go say hi."
Yara Reagan saw Evelyn Clayton come out and cheerfully called the new employees over to greet Evelyn.
The two new employees, both girls, looked poised and composed, and with a smile, they said, "Good morning, General Manager."
Evelyn nodded in acknowledgment, then called Rhys Jacobs, "You go and brief them about the company. Yara, come with me."
Yara followed Evelyn into the office.
Handing the invitation to Yara, Evelyn carefully chose her words, "Violet Ford wants us to attend Felix Ford’s memorial next Wednesday."
Yara slightly clicked her tongue, "A memorial, with such fanfare?"
"That’s right." Evelyn analyzed the pros and cons for her, "It’s a great networking opportunity. I guess that’s why Violet invited us, otherwise, there’s no need for her to."
Understanding this, Yara nodded repeatedly, "That’s great! Is there something you’re worried about?"
Of course, Evelyn had concerns.
From Franklin Ford’s past actions and today’s hint from Violet, Evelyn found it hard not to suspect, hard not to overthink...
However, she also couldn’t ignore Yara’s feelings for Franklin.
Evelyn didn’t want to hurt her friend and had no feelings for Franklin herself.
So she’d rather avoid such matters if possible.
But when the words were about to come out, Evelyn couldn’t find a way to say them.
Should she spell it out, and then let Yara go by herself?
Obviously, that’s not realistic.
Because she had already agreed to Violet.
After pondering for a long time, long enough for Yara to look a bit confused and dazed, Evelyn finally spoke slowly.
"Yara, let me ask you honestly, do you have any feelings for Franklin Ford?"
Yara was stunned, then blushed, finally her eyes dodged, averting her gaze.
Seeing this, Evelyn knew there was no need to ask further.
But she was also very curious, "When did you start liking him? No hiding, tell me the truth."
Yara’s gaze fluttered, her face as red as the sunset, "I, I don’t know either... maybe over time, I felt Director Ford was really charming, very capable... and also, that night I first met Violet, didn’t he drive me home alone? That night..."
Evelyn’s pupils widened, "What did you two do?"
"What are you thinking?!!" Yara was utterly embarrassed, "It was just that night, we accidentally kissed."
Evelyn was even more shocked, "What else am I supposed to think? I thought you two just had a close encounter!"
Yara was tongue-tied, her cheeks growing redder.
"Anyway, it was, it was just an accident!" Yara was both embarrassed and annoyed, "I told him afterwards not to take it to heart, he was quite casual, seemed like he didn’t care at all, so..."
The more she spoke, the quieter her voice became, and finally the redness on her face faded, leaving a trace of loneliness.
Evelyn saw clearly and, in a comforting gesture, squeezed Yara’s shoulder gently, "Do you feel like he has no feelings for you?"
"Does that even need consideration?" Yara laughed mockingly, then continued, "He definitely doesn’t feel anything for me. Besides, with his status... I haven’t thought any further."
Evelyn bit her lip, a hint of disagreement washing over her delicate face.
She spoke gently, "Although I’ve experienced a failed relationship myself, Yara, that doesn’t mean your feelings will fail too. At least, why not give it a try?"
As she said this, she tested the waters, "No matter what, I’m on your side, supporting you, okay?"
Upon hearing this, Yara lifted her eyes to look at Evelyn.
This glance was unlike the usual cheerful and light-hearted one, Yara’s eyes held something even Evelyn couldn’t discern.
After a while, Yara suddenly curled her lips into a smile.
"I know! No matter what, I won’t be swayed by a man. I love you the most!"
