Save Her Lose Us (Evangeline and Soren) novel Chapter 142

Evangeline was puzzled to see Giselle here.

After mulling it over, she called the HR manager.

The HR manager explained that Theo had interviewed and selected Giselle for the position.

Evangeline frowned, her voice steely. "Anyone joining UME needs approval from their direct supervisor. Are you not aware of this policy?"

Sensing her irritation, the HR manager chuckled awkwardly. "Well, Director Shaw was adamant at the time, and you weren't around. I didn't really have a choice. But honestly, Giselle is quite capable. Why not let her intern for a bit and see how it goes?"

Evangeline knew Giselle had always had impressive grades at school.

But she also knew that, with the way Winston and Hazel doted on their daughter, Giselle was all but guaranteed a place in the Whitmore family business right after graduation.

So what was Giselle doing here, of all places?

She could kick her out, of course. But since Theo had brought Giselle in, that would mean going head-to-head with him. Right now, the last thing she needed was internal conflict.

After weighing her options, Evangeline relented.

"This time, I'll let it go. But if it happens again—if you break protocol one more time—just hand in your resignation and leave."

She ended the call abruptly.

On the other end, the HR manager smiled and agreed politely, but as soon as the call disconnected, he rolled his eyes at his phone and mimicked Evangeline's stern words in a mocking tone.

"Trying to scare me?"

"For all she knows, she might be the one packing up soon."

He snorted, glancing at the clock.

There was just over a week left before Evangeline's deadline with Theo. If she failed, she'd be the one shown the door.

With that in mind, the HR manager didn't take her threats to heart. If this happened again, he'd side with Theo all over again.

Meanwhile, in the café, Lily and Giselle were deep in conversation.

At first, their talk was cautious and polite. But once Lily mentioned Evangeline's situation with Glenn, Giselle's temper flared. "She's already married—why is she still clinging to Glenn?"

Suppressing a smug smile, Lily asked, "Did you know she's been hitting on other women's husbands? One of their wives even confronted her."

Giselle's eyes widened in shock.

Seeing her interest, Lily embellished the story of what happened yesterday, adding extra details for good measure.

By the end, Giselle was fuming.

Evangeline was really shameless now. Having Soren wasn't enough—she was still after Glenn, and now chasing after someone else's husband?

At this rate, Evangeline would drag the Whitmore family's reputation through the mud.

Giselle made up her mind to tell her parents everything as soon as she got home.

Later that afternoon, Evangeline handed the proposal and the finished robot over to Theo.

He was momentarily surprised, but after a moment's thought, he just scoffed inwardly and continued with his work, barely glancing at the report she'd submitted.
