Chapter 251: Gossip 254

Reading Juicy Gossip in Her Mind Chapter 254 Be In Love With Finished Clifford’s expression changed when he heard that as if he was worried Elaine might put Zendaya in a difficult position.

However, when Clifford thought about how Elaine had but Zendaya in a difficult position for his sake, he couldn’t help but feel a sense of satisfaction deep within.

“Elaine, I don’t appreciate your aggressive demeanor.” Clifford lifted his chin and said, “Also, why are you. secking my people out?”

Elaine expressionlessly flipped two middle fingers at him.

Clifford’s veins were throbbing in an instant, but he secretly became even more satisfied. Suddenly, he heard laughter coming from behind him. He quickly turned around in surprise, but Zendaya had already stopped her mocking laughter.

Zendaya immediately stepped forward, addressing Elaine. “We have a specific break room here. If you please…

Before Clifford could react, Elaine had already briskly walked away with Zendaya.

Clifford shouted. “Zendaya, have you lost your mind? You-”

“Mr. Clifford, perhaps it’s best if you return to the party. After all, you’re the star of the show,”

Zendaya said without turning her head back.

By the time Clifford wanted to catch up and continue interfering, the two had already taken the elevator.

Clifford was utterly bewildered. What’s this situation? Shouldn’t I be present at a time like this?

Zendaya is such a fool. What if Elaine hit her? How could I protect her like this?

Clifford was somewhat agitated and angry, wanting nothing more than to ignore Zendaya. However, deep down, he couldn’t ignore her, feeling incredibly conflicted. After all, even up to then, he was unclear about what he truly wanted.

Returning to the party, he couldn’t help but look for a chance to hint at Isabella. Isn’t Isabella protecting Zendaya? If she steps in, Elaine will listen to her.

Upon returning, Clifford locked eyes with Isabella and Alexander, who were in the swimming pool.

The way the two of them looked at him seemed rather peculiar.

Clifford walked up to them and said directly, “Hey, Isabella. Your little fan has been taken away by Elaine for a private chat. I reckon she might be bullied.”

Isabella opened her mouth, and Clifford thought she was hesitating about intervening. Meanwhile, Alexander could hear Isabella cursing in her mind.

“Earlier, Elaine mentioned that she and Zeya have an instant connection and plan to spend more time together with her,” replied Isabella.

“Huh?” Clifford scoffed. “You actually believe that?”

Chapter 254 Be In Love With could you think Elaine would make things difficult for Zeya?”

Finished Clifford was taken aback, feeling his good intentions had been twisted. He wanted to say something, but then he saw Isabella’s fake smile as she spoke. “No way, Don’t tell me you actually think those two are fighting over you? You’re overthinking it.”

Clifford was speechless. What does that mean? Are they not fighting over me? What does the mean I’m overthinking WP He wanted to retort, but remembering all that had happened before, he inexplicably lost his confidence, However, even without confidence, Clifford was stubborn. “If you don’t understand what’s going on, don’t speak recklessly.”

Isabella raised an eyebrow and said, “You can rest assured about that. I think she seems to favor Zeya over you. Isn’t that right. Hubby? Don’t you think so too?”

Isabella was pulling Alexander along to boost her credibility.

As expected, Clifford glanced at Alexander with a lack of confidence. Alexander naturally nodded in response. After all, it was just as it seemed.

Clifford’s expression cracked for a moment, and he said, “Could it be that she likes…

Clifford immediately shut his mouth, appearing shaken.

Isabella and Alexander were speechless.

Isabella thought, Hold on, I don’t think Clifford’s ‘like‘ is what I think it means. Could he have misunderstood something? Has his imagination really stretched that far?

Alexander was also so shocked that his mouth twitched. He had the impression that was what Clifford meant, but he had snapped back to his senses.

Isabella slightly furrowed her brows. I see. Elaine once mentioned that she didn’t want to define her sexual orientation, saying that perhaps she could fall in love with a woman. However, she had never tried it before, so Clifford had forgotten about it. However, Elaine’s attitude toward Zendaya was clearly different from others, which was why Clifford suddenly felt an indescribable sense of crisis, but it seemed like he didn’t think so now. Well, it is quite a leap of imagination, after all.

Clifford managed to stop himself in time because he realized something. Even if Elaine’s attracted to women. there’s no way she’ll like someone who resembles herself so much. It’d be ridiculous and off–putting. I must’ve not been thinking straight because of the strangely harmonious atmosphere between her and Zendaya.

Clifford still wanted to bother Isabella further.

However, Isabella was no longer interested in being bothered, so she took Alexander’s hand and swam toward the middle of the pool.

Grasping onto a giant swim ring, she hoisted herself onto it while Alexander kept her company below.

Meanwhile, Isabella continued to indulge in gossip as she was quite curious how Elaine would handle the situation.

After Zendaya led Elaine away from Clifford, she finally caught her breath and instinctively expressed her gratitude.

Chapter 254 Be In Love With Finished “It seems I didn’t make a mistake just now. You’re not happy with how he’s treating you,” Elaine stated. outright.

Zendaya immediately nodded, saying, “Of course.”

Elaine chuckled. “Thank goodness. I was worried that because of Clifford’s foolish actions, you might hold a grudge against me,”

Zendaya instantly understood it was about the substitute matter and awkwardly scratched her head.

“Don’t get upset with me, okay? I swear, I really don’t like him “I’m convinced now. Thank goodness you’re not into him, or else…”

Zendaya immediately looked at Elaine with anxiety. da expected, she’s still bothered-

Elaine continued, “Otherwise, I’ll have to book an appointment for you at the ophthalmology department. and then gift you a hundred pretty boys. There’s no way that wouldn’t change the way you look at men.”

“Pift!” Zendaya really couldn’t hold it in and laughed.

Frankly, the extent of Elaine’s remarks had somewhat crossed the line, considering the state of their relationship.

However, Elaine naturally voiced her thoughts, and surprisingly, Zendaya didn’t find it odd.

“Why on earth were you acting as my substitute?” Elaine continued to ask, seeming genuinely concerned.

Zendaya was at a loss for words. After being bothered by Clifford for so long, she contemplated breaking the agreement.

However, if she did, Clifford might demand compensation, which wasn’t good because she had donated all the money to the orphanage.

She couldn’t afford to offend scions and young masters. Also, she wouldn’t shamelessly ask Isabella and Elaine for help just because they treated her a little kindly. She wasn’t that kind of person, so her only choice was to endure.

Just as Zendaya was about to speak, Elaine blurted, “Could it be about money?”

Zendaya was taken aback, and her immediate reaction made Elaine understand instantly.

Elaine scowled but still respectfully asked, “Was it voluntary?”

There wasn’t really anything to hide about that, so Zendaya gave a candid nod. It was just a job, after all.

From a certain perspective, Clifford going crazy had indeed helped her in a time of crisis. Therefore, Zendaya’s continued tolerance was not solely due to the contract, but also to avoid embarrassing her former boss. After all, she believed it was important to be thankful.

In her heart, Elaine had already cursed Clifford countless times. However, she understood that if Zendaya did so for money, it must be because Zendaya was facing hardship, so she couldn’t really blame Clifford.

She had no choice but to swallow her anger silently Suddenly. Zendava cautiously began to speak. “So. Ms. Graham. you also don’t like-

Chapter 254 Be In Love With “What did vou call me?” asked Elaine.

Upon seeing Elaine’s slightly narrowed eyes, Zendaya immediately grew obedient. “Elaine.”

When Elaine heard that, she felt inexplicably pleased.

Suddenly, her eyes sparkled. Taking advantage of the conversation, she casually lifted her hand to Zendaya’s shoulder, smoothly picking up a stray hair that had fallen there.
