Love's Bitter Edge (Eva and Leonard)
Chapter 268

Chapter 268 The Roommate

Caleb worked fast. He helped me carve out half of the space on Harmon Group's tenth floor for my studio. Actually, I told him I didn't need such a spacious area. After all, I was all alone right now.

However, Caleb insisted on it. So, there was nothing I could do about it. This way, I was still in the same building. If anything happened, I could still lend my hand to them.

I looked at the empty office and shook my head. It looked like I was going to have to recruit

more staff.

Caleb gave me an apologetic look. "I'm sorry, Eva I've done everything I could within my powers. Granduncle lan even had to give special permission for this. With that said, have to worry about utilities and rent. After all, this is company property." you don't

I pursed my lips. This was no time to be pretentious. I honestly couldn't afford to rent a place this spacious. I was going to work for Harmon Group anyway. So, I guess it was okay for me to get something out of it.

Caleb grumbled about Luca again. He thought the latter was expanding his control over the company.

"Luca has changed several people in several departments, and they were in key positions. On

top of that, he bought a lot of stocks and roped in the shareholders. If this keeps up..."

That's none of my business." I didn't

anymore.

Continue the topic. It was true. This didn't matter to r

The fact was that Leonard just had to wake up. Mr. Harmon Senior wouldn't hand over the company to Luca then, even if Leonard's health wasn't ideal. He played the most important part, and nobody could help him.

After I sent Caleb away, I sat in the spacious and empty office by myself. That was when phone suddenly rang. I was stunned when I saw that it was Crystal McCall. We hadn't been in my touch with each other for a long time after we graduated.

When I answered the phone, she sounded a little excited. "Are Emma and Amelia at your place, Eva? Well. Are the three of you at the company? My plane has just touched down. I'll be over in a minute."

"Are you here in my city?" I found it a little strange. If memory served me right, Crystal went back to her hometown after she graduated. She said that her family arranged a job for her.

It sounded like Crystal was a little embarrassed. "In any case, I quit my job. So, please take me in for a short while. I told Emma about it, and she said she'd provide me food and shelter." I checked the time. Emma was probably still in a meeting. Then, I agreed to meet with Crystal.

Both of us decided to meet at a restaurant around Harmon Group. By the time she arrived, Emma was also taking a lunch break.

Crystal's face reddened completely when she saw us. "This is great. We haven't seen each. other for years after graduation. I appreciate that you two are taking me in."

Crystal had two large suitcases with her. It looked like she was actually going to stay with us. I gave her a curious look. "Don't you have a job in your hometown?"

"Oh, dear. That job was... Ugh. It's a pain in the butt!"

The three of us shared a meal as she recounted what happened in her hometown. She took a design course in college, but her mother arranged a clerical position for her regardless of that.

"All I did every day was making photocopies, printing, and stamping. Do you know what was the most ridiculous thing? My team leader asked me to clean the office every day. I even had to make him cups of tea.

"There were only three people in our department. Was it necessary? I didn't learn anything in the last three years, except approving documents."

Crystal was a little honest and naive, to begin with. Now that she was describing her situation, it made Emma and I burst into laughter.

Crystal checked the surroundings and asked, "Didn't Amelia also return to the country and work at your husband's company?

"Now that I'm back, is she not going to meet me at all? That's too much!"
