Said I didn't Love Him But I Lied

Both Theodore and Xavier were very indifferent. It was impossible for them to treat each other like brothers in a normal family.

On the contrary, Everleigh was used to their way of getting along with each other.

She found it rather interesting.

Felicia and Lenold walked over, and both of them looked a little weird.

"Everleigh, I have something else to do, I have to go back first."

"Everleigh, I have to get back to the company now." Both of them spoke at the same time.

Everleigh and Cecil stared at them calmly.

"Alright, go ahead. There's nothing else to do here." Everleigh broke the awkward atmosphere.

Felicia turned around and left immediately without feeling awkward. Lenold followed behind her and left too. Cecil and Everleigh knew what was happening, but they didn't say anything. They just let them go. The sun slowly set, and the night gradually fell. The lights in the garden turned on. All the guests left one after another.

In the end, only Cecil, Leon, Everleigh, and Theodore were left.

"We are your guests, too. Why should we stay back and help you see the other guests out?" Cecil complained while rubbing her feet. She was really exhausted from wearing high heels for the whole day. Everleigh felt really tired as well, but she had to greet the guests as she was part of the company. Since they were best friends, Cecil had no choice but to stay back and accompany her.

Seeing that everyone had left, Theodore said, "All of you should go back and have a rest now. Thanks for your help."

Leon glanced at Cecil, and without saying a word, he turned around and left.

She was rather unhappy to see his actions. As a gentleman, shouldn't he have offered to send her back with a smile on his face?

"I'll get the driver to send you home."

"Sure. I don't think I'm able to drive right now." Hearing Theodore's words, Cecil agreed happily. She was dying to tuck herself into bed and have a really good rest.

In the big garden, apart from the cleaners, only Theodore and Everleigh were left standing there.

"Let's go. I'll send you back home."

She nodded.

Inside the car, she couldn't help but ask, "Why did Leon become like this?"

"Well, the opposite of love is hate. Although Leon doesn't hate her, he needs some time to get used to it."

"I originally thought that you possessed him!"

"Haha... How is that even possible?" He laughed as he looked at the street.

Little did he know, his attitude towards Everleigh when she just came back was really cold.

In fact, it was even colder and more heartless than Leon.

At the gate of the Trevino family's home, she got out of the car. Theodore said, "Everleigh, now that the company has just started, you might have to work really hard for some time."

"I understand. I'll be at the company tomorrow morning, and then go to the hospital in the afternoon." She wasn't afraid of hardship. If she could invent something new, it would actually be a good thing for her.

His eyes sparkled. He figured that once the company could get on track after a period of tiring work, she would have some time to take a break.

The next day, everyone was talking about the opening of Theodore's new company, and everyone had a clear picture of Everleigh's position in the company.

Even Christopher, who was in the countryside, received the news. His mouth opened wide in shock when he read about the news on his phone.

It had only been a few days since he last contacted her, and such a big incident had already happened. "Everleigh, you're finished!" He cursed in his heart. He then gave her a call furiously. "Hey, Everleigh!"

She, who was woken up by the call, heard his furious roar.

"Christopher, I'm trying to sleep. Don't disturb me," she said hoarsely with her eyes still shut. She hung up the phone before he could say anything else. Christopher was infuriated on the other side of the phone. He did everything for her, and now she actually hung up on him just to go back to sleep? He was lost for words!

After freshening up, the first thing that Everleigh did was rush to the company immediately. She was a little tired the day before, so she had a really good sleep. She had totally forgotten about the call after she woke up. "You're late."

"I'm sorry, I overslept a little." Everleigh was in a rush. Seeing Theodore standing in front of her, the guilt on her face grew.

His expression was cold, but his eyes were warm. "Let's go inside. There's a meeting today."

"Okay." She understood that it was really unprofessional of her to be late to work on the first day of the company's operation.

To help with her research, Theodore had specially hired several researchers who were in progress of their own research.

After all, the company had to continue running while waiting for Everleigh's work to succeed. He couldn't leave the whole company waiting for a single research only.

After a busy afternoon, she returned to the hospital, feeling a little tired.

"Can you really cope with all this stress and exhaustion?" Stainley handed her an apple, to give her some nutrition.

She didn't refuse it and took a big bite. It was rather crunchy.

"I'm new at the company, so I should be there earlier."

"Christopher called me and asked about you. Didn't you answer his call?" He asked in confusion.

When Christopher called him, he was in a pretty bad mood and even shouted over the phone.

Everleigh thought about it carefully. She remembered that she was very dazed and sleepy, so she wasn't really sure if he gave her a call or not.

"Nope, not that I remember of."

Hearing her response, Stainley was certain that she was too sleepy and completely forgot about it. "You should give him a call first. I'm going back to work." He sighed helplessly. As he left, Everleigh was a little stunned. She felt that he had become a little different. He used to appear in front of her everyday, but ever since she rejected him last time, he had been keeping a distance from her.

If he had really thought it through, she would be very delighted.

Everleigh cleared her thoughts and called Christopher. The call was connected immediately. "Everleigh, how sleepy were you? Why did you hang up on me? I'm fine with that, but why didn't you call me back?"

"I was sleeping. I thought it was a dream."

"Dreaming? I think you're just looking for an excuse! Why are you partnering up with Theodore to start a new business?" The topic changed so quickly that she didn't have time to react.

He was still asking about the call a second ago.

Why did he ask about the business all of a sudden?

She was helpless. ;She wasn't even given enough time to react and respond.

"Which question do you want me to answer first?" She asked.

"The last one."

"Many things happened while you were away, so we had to move our plans forward. Theodore did tell me about this, and I agreed with it too. After all, there's some great progress with the new medicines." "Isn't he focusing on medical equipment? What does it have to do with medicines?" Christopher questioned in his deep voice.

Wasn't the company a medical equipment company?

Everleigh took a deep breath and answered, "Not only medical equipment, but we are also looking into some important medicines. Machines are quite expensive, and many hospitals might not use them, but medicines are different. It's a really good starting point for our business. Besides, medicines are my specialty."

He was silent for a long time. It turned out that the new medicines Everleigh had developed were helping Theodore fulfill his plan. What a brilliant plan! He was incredibly lucky to have her working for him after leaving the Godfrey family to establish his own company.
