Honey We Are Not Getting Remarried: Get Away From Me!

Elisa’s lips curled into a wry smile as she mused, “Ah, I knew these sneaky two must be up to something. So, it turns out this is their little scheme, huh?”

Rochelle timely lifted her wine glass, finding it difficult to articulate her apology. However, she comforted herself with the thought that everything would return to normal after today.

She said, “Ms. Benett, I admit I was immature and foolish back then. Here’s to making amends and hoping we can move past our disagreements. I know you do not hold grudges, so I ask for your forgiveness.”

A faint smile played on Rochelle’s lips as she anticipated Elisa’s impending ordeal tonight. This softened her demeanor, adding a touch of authenticity to her somewhat feigned apology.

Elisa responded with a grin, “Why not? I’m open to it. If you’re keen to return to your previous role at the company, you’d have to go through the hiring process. However, whether you’re rehired relies on your qualifications and abilities—there’s no shortcut.”

Paul and Rochelle’s faces turned long in an instant.

Did she mean that I have to start from scratch as a junior employee? Would that mean Bella would hold the reins over me? Ridiculous! I won’t stand for their oppression!
