Awake for Love: My Coma Bridegroom
After escorting her to Elijahâs office, Joey poured her a glass of water.
âDo you want something to eat? I can run out and get it,â Joey asked in a friendly tone.
Violette shook her head. âNo need. You go and take care of your work. Donât worry about me.â
Joeyâs smile didnât falter. âI donât have much to do right now. Iâll keep you company while you wait!â
Violette picked up the glass and took a sip.
âViolette, I heard about what happened between my boss and Odette yesterday. Let me explain! Elijah didnât slap Odette because of Melinda. It was because Odette said some inappropriate things, like calling him a jerk and saying that he deserved to be dumped...â
Violetteâs frosty gaze met Joeyâs.
Feeling flustered under Violetteâs stern gaze, Joey blurted out, âUh... Elijah should have explained it to Ramsey already.â
âThe more you explain, the more I dislike him,â Violette said, setting down her water glass.
Joey zipped his mouth shut. âIâll be waiting outside.â He left the office, taking a deep breath once he was in the hall.
A few moments later, Elijah strode out of the elevator. Joey rushed over and whispered, âBoss, sheâs really angry. Be careful. Also, her belly is bigger than before, so you better keep your temper in check...â
Elijah swallowed hard, and then stepped into his office.
Upon seeing him, Violette immediately pulled a contract out of her bag. âThis is the three-way agreement we signed before,â she said. Her tone was cold and controlled. âMy companyâs collaboration with the border patrol doesnât require your involvement under the guise of charity.â
âWhat do you mean, âunder the guise of charityâ?â Elijah frowned.
âYou decided to donate only in order to pursue me, not because you genuinely wanted to give money,â Violette retorted. Her gaze was piercing. âI want to terminate this three-way agreement. Iâm not here to negotiate. Iâm here to inform you.â
Elijahâs eyes turned icy as they met hers. âYouâre here because of Odette.â
âSo what if I am?â

ï¤Chapter 2341 âI hit her, and now you hate me.â
âSo what if I do?â
âWill canceling one contract make you feel better?â He walked over, gently took her hand, and placed it on his cheek. âGo ahead. Slap me. Take revenge for your best friend!â
Violette pursed her lips, trying to pull her hand away. But she couldnât.
âGo ahead!â His eyes were bloodshot, and his voice was harsh. âRemember, I almost strangled your son! Donât you remember? Iâm a devil! I lash out at anyone who angers me! Whether itâs your best friend or your son, I wonât show mercy!â
His hot breath fanned over her face. Itâs like his wickedness got into her brain. She raised her hand and, with a strong swing, slapped his handsome face.
The loud smack echoed in the room like a whip, landing heavy in her heart.
Her hand was numb from the impact, and her heart ached too. She had hit him, under his provocation!.
The office door swung open. Melinda rushed in, with her high heels clicking against the floor.
âViolette! Who gave you the permission to lay a hand on him! What are you thinking!â Melindaâs eyes widened as she noticed the red mark on Elijahâs face. She lunged at Violette, crazed.
Elijah grabbed Melindaâs arm. His teeth gritted. âI told her to do it! Melinda, if you touch her, Iâm not gonna show you mercy.â
