novelxo Chapter 484
It went without saying that Hesper understood everything that Pennleigh said. Before she received any recognition from her clients, the very reason she could get any designing jobs in the beginning was mainly due to Eustoma's reputation.
Pennleigh and Eustoma had provided a lot of opportunities for her, but she was not going to stay in Antellon forever. When the semester ended, she would graduate, which also meant she would have to go back to her home country.
If she continued to stay in the comfortable environment provided by Eustoma, she would not be able to advance further.
"Alright, let's stop worrying about something that hasn't happened yet. At the very least, I still have to finish the project I have in Eustoma first. Otherwise, I may not be able to explain myself to Elise," Hesper said as she patted Pennleigh's shoulder. "People come and go all the time, Mr. Pisano. As a boss of a company, you should be very familiar with it, so you don't have to feel too disappointed." Pennleigh gave a bitter smile.
It was true that Hesper had her own considerations, but the initial reason for her decision was definitely to distance herself from him.
"Don't look so gloomy. Come, it's time for a great show."
After she had finished speaking, Hesper rose to her feet and exited the office with Pennleigh following closely behind.
Evon behaved like a cat on hot bricks ever since he returned to his office.
'Does Hesper really have evidence? Although this area is sparsely populated, there is a possibility that a surveillance camera was installed somewhere... Even though I wasn't too careful when I did it, I didn't expect her to think of that...'
While Evon was pacing back and forth in his office, someone knocked on the door.
"Who is it?" Evon felt a chill down his spine. When he saw the figure outside the frosted glass door did not resemble Hesper's, Evons took a deep breath and said, "I'm busy right now, so come back later." "It's me!" Andris's voice rang out, puzzling Evon. He did not know why Andris would come to him at this time. Ever since Hesper came to Eustoma, their relationship had deteriorated. Seeing Andris's determined stance outside the door, Evon frowned and opened the door. "What are you doing here? Can't you see that I'm busy? If you have anything important to tell me, then hurry up and say it now."
Andris looked at Evon's furrowed brows and sneered. "What's the matter? You look rather worried. Could it be that you're worried Hesper might expose you?"
"I don't know what you're talking about," Evon said sternly, "This matter has nothing to do with me. I didn't do it. Why are you suspecting me? Do you have any evidence?"
"Do you still remember that day when Hesper's dress was destroyed?" Andris asked. "I was there for it. I happened to be backstage and saw the person who poured ink on her dress when no one was paying attention. I didn't expose you because I had no evidence. But now it has happened again."
'He saw everything?' Evon frowned and understanding instantly dawned upon him. That explained the reason why Andris's attitude toward Hesper suddenly changed and he began to distance himself from him after the incident.
Andris Delacroix was someone with a hot temper and straightforward personality.
"It was me last time, but I've got nothing to do with it this time." Evon lowered his voice and grabbed Andris's arm. "You've got to believe me. I just wanted to get that job. You know I need money. I just need that money. But it really wasn't me this time. Think about it, Addy. What beef do I have with Hesper that would make me do something like that?"
Evon looked into Andris's eyes. "You need to trust me. I really need this job, man. You know it better than anyone else. Please, I beg of you. Don't tell on me..."
