"I won't help to bail Stacy out. Just give up!" Elvira smirked, and then, without another word, she hung up the phone.

The 50th anniversary of the Willis Group sounds like a big event. I should take the chance to give them a big present, Elvira thought.

The sound of another ringtone echoed in the air. As Elvira had set a different ringtone for a different contact, she recognized the caller and immediately picked up the phone. "Hey, Cole. How's everything going?"

did it! I've already secured the first round of funding of 100 million dollars, and the company can prepare to be listed soon. Cole said in a relaxed tone.

"That's great. You did well, and we shall celebrate when you are back." Elvira was delighted.

Amber Willis had always tried to suppress Elvira, fearing she would outshine Judy in the family. Amber even went so far as to sabotage Elvira's school life to prevent her from graduating. Despite this, Elvira successfully graduated, and Amber used Marsh to force Elvira to work at the Willis Group as a general employee in one of its subsidiary branches.

Elvira manipulated Amber into thinking she was a good-for-nothing by going along with her wishes to work in a small subsidiary branch as a low-level employee. However, Amber was completely unaware that Elvira already had a few small companies in her name that spanned several industries. In the call just now, Elvira and Cole discussed the successful funding of a jewelry design firm and the possibility of listing the company. Elvira is poised to earn substantial profits if everything goes according to plan.

With the money, Elvira could buy a bigger apartment, and Zach and her could move on from renting to owning a house. She could even get Tracy to live with them if things went smoothly.

Cole placed his phone on the table and picked up a box next to it. He then opened the box, revealing a stunning diamond bracelet. The bracelet was made of platinum and adorned with hundreds of tiny diamonds. The diamonds sparkled brilliantly under the light, making the bracelet even more beautiful.

Cole's lips curled into a gentle smile as he lifted the bracelet to his gaze. He had heard that Elvira had broken up with Calvin Kennedy, her long-time boyfriend. Cole had always liked Elvira, and he couldn't shake off the feeling of hope that bloomed inside him. Maybe, just maybe, it was his chance to confess his love.

After hearing some good news from Cole, Elvira's mood improved. Feeling much better, she decided to put her culinary skills to good use and cook a special lunch for Zach.

Zach was sitting in a boardroom meeting with his top executives when his phone buzzed with a notification. Upon checking his phone, he felt a sense of delight wash over him when he saw a message from Elvira that she had taken the time to prepare a delicious lunch for him and would personally deliver it to his office.

Although delightful, Zach faced a dilemma. He hadn't disclosed his true identity to Elvira, and he wondered if she would be angry when she discovered he had lied to her.

Zach regretted his decision to conceal his real identity. After much consideration, he immediately called Sherry to come in. He informed her of Elvira's impending arrival and requested her assistance arranging a smaller office for him to work from.

After hearing Zach's request, Sherry nodded in acknowledgment and left to make the arrangements.

As Elvira arrived at the entrance of Gilbert Group's corporate building, Sherry was waiting for her. "Good afternoon, Ms. Willis," Sherry greeted. "Mr. Gilbert had informed me to bring you up. This way, please."

"Thank you, Ms. Johnson." Elvira thanked Sherry politely and followed her inside.

As Elvira walked across the lobby, she felt as though all eyes were on her. However, when she turned to look, everyone pretended to be busy with work and avoided eye contact. 80%

Elvira couldn't understand why everyone was paying so much attention to her. She thought, "I am just here to deliver my husband a meal. Why is everyone looking at me?"

As Elvira and Sherry stepped inside the elevator, a commotion erupted in the lobby as staff gathered to discuss the lady they had just seen.

Sherry was the only female secretary in the CEO's office's secretarial department. Due to this, the staff assumed that Mr. Gilbert had personally instructed her to receive the lady. Based on Sherry's behavior, everyone guessed the lady must be someone significant. Could it be Mr. Gilbert's girlfriend?" A female employee made a bold guess.

"No way! I've never seen a woman around him. Don't be ridiculous!" another female staff member retorted.

"Exactly! She can't be his girlfriend," another female staff member added. "I would rather Mr. Gilbert be gay! I would be heartbroken if he is attached!" she exclaimed.

The staff members in the lobby fell silent, and a noticeable hush descended upon the area.

Zach Gilbert was the crush of many female employees in the company, regardless of their relationship status. Many of them were so fixated on Zach that they preferred to find out about his flaws and shortcomings rather than accept that he had been attached all along. The elevator doors slid open, revealing Zach who was eagerly waiting for Elvira. As soon as he caught sight of her, he stepped forward with a warm smile, took the lunch bag she was holding, and turned to walk towards his office, with her following behind him. Sherry was taken aback by Zach's behavior, causing her to freeze for a brief moment. It wasn't until the elevator doors had closed that she regained her senses. Sherry clenched her fists as the elevator ascended, recalling what she had just witnessed. Several of her female colleagues were also interested in Zach, and Sherry was no exception. However, she was skilled at concealing her emotions, allowing her to continue working alongside him until now. Like many female staff members, Sherry secretly hoped that Zach would remain single forever.

Sherry was a young woman who exuded confidence and self-assurance. She had always held a firm belief that Zach, the man she had a crush on, would eventually take notice of her. She believed that if she worked hard and proved herself to be skilled and capable, he would see her worth and recognize her potential.

Sherry's aspirations were crushed when Elvira came into the picture. The mere existence of Elvira seemed to have shattered all the hopes Sherry had been nurturing in her heart. However, what was even more baffling to Sherry was how Zach behaved around Elvira. Sherry was taken aback by Zach's gentle and caring manner towards Elvira, and she couldn't comprehend why Elvira deserved Zach's love and attention.

"She's useless and a good-for-nothing," Sherry thought. Overwhelmed with jealousy, her fists were so tightly clenched that her nails dug into her palms without her realizing. "She doesn't deserve to be with him," Sherry muttered under her breath, her voice filled with bitterness. Zach led Elvira into his office and closed the door behind them. He then pushed her against the door and leaned in for a kiss.

Elvira leaned in and wrapped her arms tenderly around his neck, drawing him closer to her. Their lips met in a fiery kiss that sent shivers down their spines.Belongs © to NôvelDrama.Org.

When their lips parted, Elvira's face flushed. She gently pushed Zach to prevent him from leaning in again. "Let's eat first.

Try my cooking," she said.

"I'd prefer to have you for lunch, Zach said flirtatiously, with no intention to hide his desire - the desire to take her and make her his woman.

Elvira felt her face burn from his words and said, "Hey! Be serious! This is your workplace!"

Zach let her go with a smile and brought her over to the sofa. As they settled in, Elvira reached for the lunch she had prepared earlier and carefully placed it before Zach. "Alright," Zach said as he gave his wife a quick kiss on the lips. "Thank you, my dear."

Elvira smiled and silently handed him the cutlery she had brought, and they enjoyed the lunch together.

Elvira was a good cook, so the dishes she prepared were naturally delicious. Zach wiped his plate clean, wishing he could have more.

Elvira smiled. As the cook, she was glad that Zach enjoyed the food and that her effort to cook had paid off.

After their meal, Zach leaned in for a hug and kissed Elvira again. Elvira pushed him away and said, "Hey, you should rinse your mouth first!"

"We ate the same food. I don't think it matters." Zach scooped her up and placed her on his lap. He then slid his hand under- her shirt and kissed her at the same time.

The temperature in the office seemed to be rising as they kissed. Zach broke the kiss and asked, "Elvira, is your period over?"
