As the driver moved to shut the door, Elaine impulsively grabbed it, pleading, âIâm sorry if I caused any inconvenience with my feelings for you.
Could I perhaps invite you to dinner as an apology?â
Mark, glancing up at her, responded icily, âMiss Shaw, your actions last night did not offend me, nor were they of any significance.
You, like the others at that dinner, mean nothing to me.
And frankly, Iâve no interest in rescuing a damsel in distress.
Please let go; I need to fetch my son from school now.
â
Elaine interjected, âIâve studied child psychology and excel at childcare.
â
âWe have no need for additional nannies,â Mark retorted before sharply closing the car door.
The door slammed shut, trapping Elaineâs fingers momentarily.
She winced, biting her lip to suppress the pain.
Mark didnât spare her another glance as the car pulled away.
Peter approached, offering a sympathetic thousand dollars.
âPlease get your hand treated.
And remember, Mr.
Evans values his privacy.
It would be wise to withdraw now.
â
Elaine remained silent, head bowed.
Peter continued, âMr.
Evans is deeply devoted to Miss Fowler.
Itâs futile for you to interfere.
â
Tears welling up, Elaine retorted, âShe doesnât even love him.
â
Peter, both irritated and bemused, replied firmly, âWhether she loves him or not isnât your concern.
Your persistence is unwelcome.
If you continue, Iâm afraid the consequences wonât be in your favor.
â
Defiant, Elaine whispered, âI wonât give up,â before turning to leave.
Shaking his head, Peter dialed Chandlerâs number, speaking bluntly, âChandler, letâs be clear.
I can surely help you, but you need to control your woman.
Elaine showed up here at Mr.
Evansâ workplace.
Be warned: if she continues to harass Mr.
Evans, itâll be the end of any opportunities for you.
â
Chandler, sweating profusely, admitted to Peter, âIâve parted ways with Elaine.
Youâve no idea, Peter.
That woman harbors grand ambitions.
She appeared deeply in love when she was still with me.
But she didnât hesitate to discard me upon finding someone better.

Sheâs now scheming to forge ties with Mr.
Evans.
Peterâ¦â
Before Chandler could continue, Peter ended the call.
Peter had initially planned to disregard Chandlerâs predicament, but Elaineâs boldness was concerning.
Her determination reminded him of a gambler, staking everything on a single roll.
Deciding to seek advice, Peter dialed Renaâs number.
Her voice, soft and calming, soon greeted him.
âPeter, what can I do for you?â
After a brief hesitation, Peter inquired, âMrs.
Fowler, I need information on a certain woman called Elaine Shaw, a minor celebrity now trying to get close to Mr.
Evans.
