Bound by love: Marrying my Disabled Husband by Devocean

Chapter 624:

Jayden placed two fingers on Elyse’s chin, lifting her face with a teasing smile. “Tell me, how does it feel to be

here? Is it as you expected?”

Before Elyse could answer, the office door swung open abruptly. A woman, dressed in an impeccable professional

ensemble that accentuated her shapely curves and sheer black stockings, confidently strode into the room.

“Eva Prescott! Have you lost your manners or what? How can you just barge in like that?” Jayden barked with

disdain.

Elyse took a moment to study Eva, who was now fixated on Jayden with a seductive pout. Her form-fitting blouse

and pencil skirt made it clear she had a well-defined agenda.

To Elyse, Eva appeared as if she were here to seduce Jayden, but she kept her thoughts to herself and asked

innocently, “Who's she?”

“Just an intern secretary,” Jayden stated coldly.

Eva's face fell at Jayden’s cold demeanor. She protested with trembling lips, “Mr. Owen, why are you treating me

so coldly when I'm simply here to deliver sdocuments?”

Jayden sneered, pulled out his phone, and quickly sent a message.

Moments later, Mia Fuller, the head secretary, rushed in and immediately locked eyes with Eva. Seeing Eva act

like a vulnerable person vexed Mia greatly, but she had no option but to control her emotions.

Bowing deferentially to Jayden, she said, “My apologies, Mr. Owen. | must have failed to adequately supervise

the interns. | accept responsibility for this oversight.”

Without relaxing his gaze, Jayden scoffed and retorted, “I'm not the one you ought to be apologizing to.” He

glanced at Elyse.

Instantly, both Mia and Eva turned their attention to Elyse. Thanks to information from other executives, Mia had

naturally learned that Elyse was Jayden’s wife.

One look at Jayden, and it was clear that he wasn’t furious just because of the incident itself. He seemed

determined to establish his wife's authority within the firm. Consequently, this meant that Elyse could determine

Eva's fate on her own.

Bowing slightly, Mia quickly apologized to Elyse, saying, “This is my fault entirely. This new intern hasn't been

sharpened yet and still has a lot to learn. Please, forgive her and | promise to get her up to speed as soon as

possible.”

For a moment, Elyse said nothing, her gaze fixed on Mia. As the silence stretched, Jayden looked at Elyse with

concern. “Are you feeling upset?”

Shaking her head, Elyse widened her eyes and turned to Mia. “I don’t understand why you are the one

apologizing. You're her superior, not her parent. She should be the one to apologize.”

Mia was stunned by Elyse’s unexpected response and was left speechless.

Looking past Mia, Elyse’s gaze settled on Eva, who had retreated to the background since Mia cin. Smiling

faintly, Elyse, with a voice laced with a subtle challenge, continued, “The one at fault ought to be the one

apologizing, right?”

Hearing this, Eva frowned slightly. To her, there was nothing wrong with her actions, and she saw no need to

apologize to anyone. However, Elyse seemed bent on not letting the matter die down.

Clenching her fists, Eva shook her head and protested, “I don’t know what you wantto apologize for. What

did | do wrong when | simply chere to deliver a document?”

Glancing at Jayden, he instructed, “Get HR to cover right now.”

Mia was momentarily surprised but quickly regained herself and messaged the HR manager, asking him to come

over.

Before long, Kash Ellsworth, the HR manager, arrived, panting heavily. Walking up to Jayden, he bowed slightly

and asked anxiously, “Mr. Owen, what can | do for you?”

Without answering, Jayden pointed at Eva and asked, “I'm sure you handled this intern’s hiring, right? Did you

not conduct a comprehensive evaluation of her compatibility with the company during the interview process?”

Glancing at Eva, Kash mentally retraced his steps and replied slowly, “We did conduct a thorough evaluation of

her, and when she excelled, we promptly extended an offer letter to her to join the company.”

Raising an eyebrow, Jayden asked, “Then tellhow it's possible for someone who you so positively judged to

be so clueless about her mistakes? Could it be that you judged poorly and hired someone undeserving?”

Kash began to sweat as he realized Eva must have done something terribly wrong, and he had no idea what her

transgression might be. He opened his mouth to address Jayden’s accusation but was unable to say anything,

which left him quite frustrated. Feeling exasperated, he turned his ire upon Eva.

Just as Eva wanted to say something, Kash snapped, “If you've gotten tired of working here already, then gather

up your belongings and leave! People who can’t acknowledge their mistakes aren't welchere!”

Seeing that Eva was determined not to back down, Jayden turned to Mia and ordered, “Summon Lewis to my

office.”

Mia nodded and immediately sent a message to Lewis, summoning him and telling him that it was very urgent.

“Mr. Owen, is anything wrong? | thought our meeting had been concluded. Is there anything you needto do

urgently?” Lewis Schmidt, a department head, inquired as he walked into the office. Seeing both Mia and Kash

present, he beceven more bewildered.
