Both Theodore and Xavier were very indifferent. It was impossible for them to treat each other like brothers in a normal family.
On the contrary, Everleigh was used to their way of getting along with each other.
She found it rather interesting.
Felicia and Lenold walked over, and both of them looked a little weird.
"Everleigh, I have something else to do, I have to go back first."
"Everleigh, I have to get back to the company now." Both of them spoke at the same time.
Everleigh and Cecil stared at them calmly.
"Alright, go ahead. There's nothing else to do here." Everleigh broke the awkward atmosphere.
Felicia turned around and left immediately without feeling awkward. Lenold followed behind her and left too. Cecil and Everleigh knew what was happening, but they didn't say anything. They just let them go.
The sun slowly set, and the night gradually fell. The lights in the garden turned on. All the guests left one after another.
In the end, only Cecil, Leon, Everleigh, and Theodore were left.
"We are your guests too. Why should we stay back and help you see the other guests out?" Cecil complained while rubbing her feet. She was really exhausted from wearing high heels for the whole day.
Everleigh felt really tired as well, but she had to greet the guests as she was part of the company. Since they were best friends, Cecil had no choice but to stay back and accompany her.
Seeing that everyone had left, Theodore said, "All of you should go back and have a rest now. Thanks for your help."
Leon glanced at Cecil, and without saying a word, he turned around and left.
She was rather unhappy to see his actions. As a gentleman, shouldn't he have offered to send her back with a smile on his face?
"I'll get the driver to send you home."
"Sure. I don't think I'm able to drive right now." Hearing Theodore's words, Cecil agreed happily. She was dying to tuck herself into bed and have a really good rest.
In the big garden, apart from the cleaners, only Theodore and Everleigh were left standing there.
"Let's go. I'll send you back home."
She nodded.
Inside the car, she couldn't help but ask, "Why did Leon become like this?"
"Well, the opposite of love is hate. Although Leon doesn't hate her, he needs some time to get used to it."
"I originally thought that you possessed him!"
"Haha... How is that even possible?" He laughed as he looked at the street.
Little did he know, his attitude towards Everleigh when she just came back was really cold.
In fact, it was even colder and more heartless than Leon.
At the gate of the Trevino family's home, she got out of the car. Theodore said, "Everleigh, now that the company has just started, you might have to work really hard for some time."
"I understand. I'll be at the company tomorrow morning, and then go to the hospital in the afternoon." She wasn't afraid of hardship. If she could invent something new, it would actually be a good thing for her.
His eyes sparkled. He figured that once the company could get on track after a period of tiring work, she would have some time to take a break.
The next day, everyone was talking about the opening of Theodore's new company, and everyone had a clear picture of Everleigh's position in the company.
Even Christopher, who was in the countryside, received the news. His mouth opened wide in shock when he read about the news on his phone.
It had only been a few days since he last contacted her, and such a big incident had already happened. "Everleigh, you're finished!" He cursed in his heart.
He then gave her a call furiously. "Hey, Everleigh!"
