Rewriting My Heart's Fate (Ethan and Evelyn) novel Chapter 117

Chapter 117 

VT 

Gradually, I found myself zoning out again. 

“That’s all for now. You can discuss these designs with them when you get back,” Eren said as he handed me the sketch papers. 

I finally snapped back to reality and took the papers from him. “Okay, I’ll head out if there’s nothing else you want to add,” I said, trying hard to avoid making eye contact with Ethan. Then, I turned to leave. 

However, the sharp sound of a chair scraping against the floor made me instinctively look back. 

Ethan stood there, staring directly at me, but he didn’t say a word. 

I was confused and pushed the door open so I could finally leave. 

Once I sat at my workstation, I noticed my heart pounding like a drum. 

“Evelyn, you’re something else.” I silently mocked myself and decided to wash my face to calm down. 

The sound of running water helped me regain my focus. Looking at myself in the mirror, I adjusted my wet hair and took a deep breath before heading back out. 

“Evelyn.” I heard Ethan’s familiar voice behind me. I hesitated for a moment but didn’t plan to stop. 

When he realized I was ignoring him, he came over and grabbed my shoulder. 

“What do you want?” I turned toward him and frowned, brushing his hand off. 

His gaze was intense, as if he could see right through me. Out of politeness–or maybe something else–I stood there waiting for him to speak. 

“Evelyn, um… I…” It was rare to see Ethan hesitate while speaking. 

A sinking feeling hit me; if Ethan was hesitant, it must be about Leah. 

Seemed like he was here to mediate again. That bitch sure knew how to stir up trouble. 

I didn’t want to hear anything he had to say. “You’re here to plead Leah’s case, right?” I asked, cutting him off. “If so, there’s no need to talk I’m busy, so please don’t disturb me if there’s nothing important.” 

I paused for effect. “Not even when there’s something important.” 

With that, I turned and walked away, leaving Ethan standing there. 

At that moment, Ethan’s phone rang. He picked it up, and upon seeing the caller ID, he immediately thought of Leah. His brow furrowed involuntarily, but he still answered.
