Chapter 113


    The kitchen door was pretty soundproof, but Eleanor could vaguely hear Austin say something, and


    she couldn’t make out what was being said after


    that.


    Austin served as the sales director for the Groups of Mallory, and to maintain customer rtionships,


    he often called them “dear which was normal.


    But the sentence it’s too risky if I go back too often made Eleanor feel something was off.


    She stood at the door without moving, and when Austin opened it, he saw her, and his usually delicate


    face became tense.


    “Eleanor…”


    Austin quickly reacted, pointing to his phone and saying, “It was my client, there is a problem with one


    of our products, and they want to return arge batch. They called me to go handle it, but I still have to


    apply for a return with thepany, so I can only go after it’s been taken care of. I just want them to


    give me more time..”


    His exnation made sense, but he didn’t rify the meaning of “it’ll be easy to get caught if it happens


    too frequently”

    Eleanor didn’t n on directly questioning him, she casually said, “Why are you exining so much to


    me? I didn’t even hear what you said”


    Hearing that, Austin’s tense expression rxed, “I just didn’t want you to misunderstand, so I thought I


    should exin.”


    Eleanor picked up the te in her hand and headed towards the kitchen, “I was just about to push the


    door open, and you opened it. What a coincidence!” Seeing her put the te in the refrigerator, Austin’s


    doubts werepletely cleared.


    Maybe she just came to put things in the kitchen and wasn’t listening to his phone call on purpose.


    Austin replied, “Yeah, it’s such a coincidence, and then left.


    Eleanor looked at Austin’s back and felt a bit uneasy.


    She hesitated whether or not to tell Hailey because Hailey loved Austin so much and trusted him


    deeply


    If she told Hailey, it could affect their rtionship. But if she didn’t tell her, she would feel guilty for not


    informing her friend.


    After some hesitation, Eleanor still sent a message to Hailey, telling her everything she just overheard.


    Eleanor didn’t confront Austin directly because, on one hand, she felt she had no right to; on the other


    hand, she didn’t want him to be suspicious. Thest thing was that Austin was really good to Hailey,


    and he didn’t seem like someone who would betray her.


    So, for something without concrete evidence, she could only give Hailey a heads–up in private.


    Hailey quickly replied to Eleanor, “Okay, I’ll secretly check his phone tonight.”


    Eleanor knew Hailey was usually calm when it came to rtionships, so she wasn’t too worried about


    her.


    Eleanor replied, “Remember to tell me what you find,” and put her phone away.


    As she left the kitchen, she bumped into Haileying out of the bathroom.


    The two silently exchanged nces.


    When faced with issues involving Eleanor, Hailey would usually react quite strongly. But now that it was


    her turn, she was able to hide her emotions. Eleanor watched as Hailey calmly hooked arms with


    Austin and went home, feeling heavy–hearted.


    She worried about what Hailey might find out, especially since they had just gotten married. How would


    Hailey face it if she found something? Eleanor couldn’t fall asleep, sitting on the sofa with her phone


    tightly in her hand, waiting for Hailey’s text.


    Around 2 A.M., Hailey finally sent her a message.


    [Eleanor, I checked it out, and it was indeed just a client, and moreover, the client is a he.]


    [Austin’s “it’ll be easy to get caught if it happens too frequently” was because they both got some


    benefits from the situation, and they were worried about getting caught with too much contact]


    Upon receiving these two messages, Eleanor sighed a breath of relief.


    She quickly replied, (I’m sorry, Hailey, I misunderstood.]
