If this whole series of events is indeed Mike's doing, then based on what she knows about Elijah, he'll definitely make Mike pay.
A bit later, Mike came back to the company.
He pushed the door open and walked into the office.
"Violette! Let me explain! I really didn't mess with Joey! If I knew he was with Elijah that night, I would never have had drinks with him! Instead, I would've beaten him up right there and let him taste my fists!"
Mike finished, only to realize there were other people in the office.
The office suddenly went quiet.
Elijah picked up his cup and took a sip of water,
Brandon doing the same.
Feeling awkward, Violette changed the topic and asked Mike, "Did you ever break into Angela International Institute? And what about the hack on the Bourne Group a while back, was that you?"
Mike raised both hands swearing, "No way! If I did it, I would admit it. Even though I'm pretty good at that kind of thing, it really wasn't me."
He finished and gave Violette a look.
His eyes were saying—it was your son.
"Uh... I haven't eaten yet, have you guys? How about we grab a meal together?" Violette had to protect her son, so she had to muster up the courage to invite them, "There's a restaurant near our company that makes amazing grilled meat."
Brandon glanced at Elijah, deciding to speak for him, "Ms. Dennis, no..."
"Don't you love grilled meat? Let's try it!" Elijah interrupted Brandon and agreed to the meal.
Brandon was confused: when did he start liking grilled meat?
It was clearly Elijah who wanted to go but was too embarrassed to show it!
