Elias’ Crimes and Punishments of Romance

Chapter 166 Is She Jealous?

Elias glanced at Natasha impatiently. He was talking to Amanda and wished that woman would actually catch the hint and leave them be.

Where did Lazarus find this actress? She’s so dense. He looked at her and said, “You can leave if there’s nothing else. I have matters to discuss with Miss Bailey.”

“Understood, Mr. Winters.” Natasha didn’t seem to want to leave. She definitely didn’t want Amanda to be alone with Elias, but he had given her orders. So, she had to leave.

Of course, Amanda noticed the unwillingness in Natasha’s eyes and looked at Elias across the table. “Your first love doesn’t look pleased.”

Elias furrowed his brows in displeasure. “Are you hinting at something?” Is she jealous? It definitely seems like it.

Amanda answered him, “Don’t tell me you didn’t have other thoughts by letting your first love work as your secretary. Just to be clear, I’m not jealous or a busybody. I’m just curious. Are you planning on rekindling your relationship with her?”

She was indeed curious about Elias’ intention for doing that. Is this man pining for his past? Has he fallen for the trap that what one can’t get is the best? He keeps trying to reconcile with someone. I didn’t agree to marry him once more and now he’s getting close to his first love.

A small smile crept up Elias’ face when he heard her questions. She took the bait! She obviously still cares.

He pretended to stay calm and answered in a deep voice, “This had nothing to do with you. You’re nobody’ to me anyways. I don’t need to tell you what I want to do.”

Amanda was rendered speechless. Still, he had a point. She wasn’t in any place to question Elias’ reasons for hiring Natasha as his secretary.

So, she let out a subdued laugh, “You’re right. I’m nobody. Right. That infringement case is about to go to court. Do you have anything you want me to take note of? If you don’t, I’ll settle it my way.”

She quickly turned the subject onto work as she didn’t want to receive any more ridicule from a man like him.
