Chapter 194 'It might not be true?' Eloise had heard the rumors as clear as day.

Not only had Kieran locked lips with Freya in a bold move, but the Sutton family had started picking out new furniture for her. Just thinking about it made Eloise march straight toward Kieran's office.

She barely made it to the door when Jarrett intercepted her. "Ms. Harwood, Mr. Sutton is in a meeting. It's not a good tnow." But before Jarrett could finish, Eloise had barged into Kieran's office. Inside, Kieran was wearing headphones and deeply engaged in a call with an international client. Seeing Eloise storm in, Kieran's brows furrowed slightly.

Kieran ended the call quickly with a short sentence. "Ellie, I'm still in the middle of work." Eloise had never been this impulsive.

Kieran set aside his headphones, and looking down, Eloise mumbled, "I... I didn't mean to." Kieran glanced at her. "What's up?" "I cto pick you up from work." Eloise squeezed out a smile, though it was far from genuine.

Oblivious to Eloise's distress, Kieran said, "I've got plans tonight and can't have dinner with you. I'll arrange for the driver to take you home. It's not safe out there this late." Kieran was as considerate as ever. Yet, Eloise felt him drifting further away.

After a moment's hesitation, she asked with a shaky voice, "Kieran, is Ms. Dawson moving in with you?" Kieran's eyes turned cold for a moment at that. "Who told you that?" "1..." As Eloise faltered, Kieran asked, "Freya told you?" "No... No." The more Eloise denied, the more Kieran believed Freya must have spilled the beans.

It was strange. If Freya had done this before, Kieran would think of her as conniving. But then, he found himself oddly pleased. Freya swno.ne claimed she had no feelings for him, yet she still cared enough to meddle.

Kieran explained, "I asked her to move in. After all, she's engaged tonow, and with what went down with the Dawson family last night it's important that she keeps her distance from the Dawsons. Otherwise, it would make my family look like a joke." "Is that all?" Eloise looked up at Kieran cautiously.

Never before had she felt so insecure around him, but lately, it seemed like Freya had taken up residence in Kieran's heart.

"That's all." Kieran closed his laptop, ending the conversation.

Jarrett cin at the right moment. "Ms. Harwood, Mr. Sutton has more to attend to. Please cwith me." Jarrett escorted Eloise out.

Stepping outside, Eloise couldn't help but notice the assistants' glances.

That had been her fastest exit from Kieran's office ever. Eloise clenched her fists in silence.

From Freya's initial peace offering to her moving into the Sutton family, it was all Freya's lies! Freya claimed she didn't like Kieran and didn't want to be Mrs. Sutton! Freya was toying with her!

And to think Eloise had believed Preston wanted to do business with her. Instead, she had made a fool of herself before Freya and Preston, enduring Preston's scorn. Eloise gritted her teeth. 'No, I can't just sit back and do nothing.'
