His Eagle Eyes on Me novel Chapter 113

"Yes, sir," Chad responded.

Soon after, a cup of coffee was placed in front of Elliot.

As Chad exited the room, he bumped into Chelsea who was on her way over.

She was not wearing any makeup, and her face looked unusually haggard. 1

Chat approached her, intending to speak to her, but in the end, he said nothing. 3

Chelsea entered Elliot's office and shut the door behind her.

"I'm sorry, Elliot," she said in a hoarse voice as she stood in front of Elliot. "This was all due to my brother's scheme. He knew that you were still recovering, so he made you go up that hill. It's an especially steep hill. We don't usually go up there ourselves. He wanted you dead." 1

Elliot stared silently at her pale face, then said, "I know."

"I'm sorry. He won't apologize to you. He already left the country," Chelsea said through the lump in her throat. "Please forgive my family, Elliot. My father's getting old, and I'm afraid he won't be able to handle the backlash. If you have to punish someone, then punish me. I'll take it all without question."

Elliot continued to stare at her in silence.

It was as if he was seeing her for the first time.

She always had on the most immaculate makeup and only presented her best self to him.

"I appreciate how you've stayed by my side all these years, Chelsea," he finally said in a soft voice that was void of emotion. "Leave the company and never appear in front of me again. If you can do that, then I'll leave your family alone."

Tears streamed down Chelsea's face as she digested Elliot's words.

It was over!

Things were completely over between them!

She took a deep breath and tried to hold back her tears, but they were uncontrollable, and they continued to escape her eyes.

She took one final, deep look at Elliot, then turned and ran out of the room.

Once Chelsea was out of the building, it was Ben's turn to walk into Elliot's office.

He knew that Elliot would not want to hear a word about Chelsea, so he did not mention her.

"Your birthday is coming up next week, Elliot. If you don't want to have a party at a hotel, then let's organize something small at home," Ben suggested.

Elliot took a sip of his coffee, then said coldly, "Forget it."
