Awake for Love: My Coma Bridegroom

Chapter 41

Elijah was always indifferent to others in his life. So, whenever he showed a little bit of care for NôvelDrama.Org is the owner.

someone, everyone around assumed he's fallen for that person.

But the kind of love she longed for should be about mutual respect, not one person having total control

over the other.

When the car arrived at the Bourne family's place, the bodyguard walked over to Elijah first.

He was probably worried about Elijah getting pissed, so he explained, "Ms. Dennis told me in the car

just now that what she said last night was all to test the lie detector."

Violette was changing her shoes slowly at the door, also eavesdroping.

"She also said she didn't mean to make you angry," the bodyguard continued.

Elijah: "Can't she say it herself? Why did she have to ask you to tell me?"

The bodyguard backed off immediately, giving her a fierce warning look.

It's as if he's saying, if you don't make my boss happy, I won't let you off the hook!

Violette took one step at a time towards Elijah.

After sitting down across from the sofa, she gathered her courage, ready to speak.

"Did you go to the singles party?" he asked first.

Violette: "Huh? Was that a singles party? I didn't know. I just knew there were rich people there. I was

looking for investors."

Elijah frowned, "Did you find any investors?"

"No. I was there for less than ten minutes before your bodyguard called me out."

Elijah: "Are you blaming me?"

Violette was kind of hungry, so she took an apple from the fruit plate and bit it: "If I blame you, can you

give me money?"

"In your dreams."

"So I won't ruin my good mood because of you."

"Is your good mood because you fired your deputy general manager and the backbone of the R&D

department today?" Elijah said.

Violette's apple-biting motion paused, and she stared at him, "Elijah, do you like me?"

Why else would he investigate her every move?

As soon as the words came out, the atmosphere became awkward.

Awkwardness spreaded between them.

Violette stuffed the apple back into her mouth.

Elijah looked at her with deep eyes.

After a moment, his voice came, "What about you?"

Was he asking if she likes him?

Her heartbeat became erratic, her face turned red, and her speech became a little stuttered: "...I don't

dare say I like you, nor do I dare say I don't like you... I just don't dare to like you..."

She sounded like she was saying a tongue twister.

She was a bit confused herself after saying that.

Hopefully, he could understand.

"Violette, I'm not as bad as you think," his eyes were sharp, but his voice was very calm, "You don't

have to understand me, but don't go against me."

"I'm not against you," Violette cleared her throat, "I just want to live my own life."

Her life?

Her life definitely didn’t include him.

He picked up the coffee cup and took a sip.

"Ten billion is not a low price. With this selling price, after paying off the debt, you can still get a

considerable amount of income." He suddenly changed the topic.

It took her a few seconds to realize he was talking about the company.

"My father doesn't want to sell the company to anyone else."

"Bankruptcy liquidation is also a sale. And it's a low-priced sale."

Violette thought for a moment and replied, "Thank you for your advice. But I have my own thoughts."

As soon as her words fell, his laughter came through.

This was the first time she had seen him laugh in real life.

He looked very charming when he laughed.

The last time she saw his smile was on his computer.

At that time, he was holding that woman, smiling so tenderly.
