Chapter 272 Another A smile slowly formed on Caden's lips.
It was obvious he was pleased with my response.
Hmph, I wasn't just making conversation.
If he didn't perform well, I could change my mind anytime.
After that, Caden droveback to Eclipse Group so I could continue working.
I had the recent sales figures for "Ice and Fire" on my mind and immediately sat down to review them carefully.

Extension 888, it was Caden.
I picked up. "What is it, Caden?" "Cto my office," he said coolly.
"Got it." I hung up.
Taking the elevator up to the 18th floor, I knocked on the CEO's door.
"Cin." I stepped inside and walked up to Caden. "Did you need something?" Caden lifted his gaze. "Are you prepared for the press conference this afternoon?" "Yes." I gave a slight nod.
"I'll set the record straight about the Azure Bay project then," he said, his tone deep and firm.
"What's your plan for handling Heidi?" I asked evenly.
His sharp features hardened. "She's fired." "That's it?" I pressed.
He let out a quiet breath. "Rosaline, this is the least I owe her." Without a change in expression, I responded, "If that's all, I'll return to work." With that, I turned and walked away.

After all, I still lacked the proof that she had been pretending to be Tessa.

I glanced up and saw Heidi in front of me.
I froze slightly.
Wasn'tshesupposedtobe in the hospital? Howdidsheshowupheresosuddenly? My brows knitted together. "Please step aside!" She shota furious glare. "Rosaline, do you really think you've won? I saved Caden's life! He loves me! You'll never defeat me!" I responded evenly, "Oh, really? If I recall correctly, Caden already fired you. You're no longer part of Eclipse Group, which means you have no authority to be here.
I cast a glance at Yale standing nearby and raised my tone just a little. “Yale, it seems our werewolf security has been slacking off lately. Since when can just anyone stroll in?" Yale got the hint and approached Heidi, "Ms. Tessford, I'm sorry, but you need to leave." "I'm here for Caden!" Heidi's face darkened, and she shota venomous glare.
Right then, the CEO's office door swung open, revealing Caden's imposing figure.

With an aggrieved expression, Heidi turned to him. "Caden, my wound still hurts." Caden's gaze dropped to her chest, his tone frigid. "If you're in pain, shouldn't you be in the hospital?" "I just wanted to see you." She clung to his arm, desperation in her eyes. "Caden, I know you're upset with me. I know I made a mistake. That's why I'm here to say sorry. Please forgive me." "The person you owe an apology to isn't me," Caden said coolly, withdrawing his arm without hesitation. "It's Rosaline." Heidi trembled and turned her gaze to me.
I remained indifferent, showing no reaction.
She hesitated, then suddenly dropped to her knees before me.
"Ms. Sinclair, I was blinded by my mistake. Please can you find it in yo heart to forgive me?" Her eyes own foolishness. I made a terrible carly be a terrible shimmered with unshed tears. I looked down at her, my expression unreadable. "That's a price I can't afford."

With nothing to hold onto, Heidi collapsed onto the floor, sobbingn "Ms. Sinclair, if you don't want to forgive me, that's fine... but why did you push me?" Oh, herewegoagain-the never ends.
I stared down at her, lips curling into a cold smile. "Who exactly pushed you?" Pale and trembling, Heidi clutched her chest, her eyes glistening with tears. She turned toward Caden, her voice weak. "Caden ... my wound... it hurts...
