Chapter 761
Chapter 760:
Cole, oblivious to her true thoughts, read her expression as mere embarrassment at being caught. Sure, she’d been bold—going that far just to get his attention. But in his eyes, she was still a woman. Easy to fluster. Easy to read.
After a beat, Cole gave a cold command. “Get out. Before I lose my temper p>
Myles and the driver exchanged glances up front. In the back, Aron and Hugh frowned. That was it? Cole was just tossing Elliana out? No questions? No follow-up? He’d been captivated by her at first sight. Shouldn’t he at least ask her name or get her number? Letting her go now—what if they never saw her again?
Then again, they remembered—Cole, with his memory loss, was committed to marrying the Campbell heiress. Of course, he’d put distance from any other woman, no matter how interested he seemed.
That thought settled over them like a heavy cloud. If Cole never regained his memory and went through with the wedding to the Campbell heiress, what would that mean for Elliana?
But Elliana didn’t care what they were thinking. She was in the mood to tease Cole a bit. “Let’s get one thing straight, sir. This is my car. If anyone’s getting out, it’s you p>
Cole’s brow tightened. He opened his mouth to retort, but she cut him off. “You’re not bad-looking, pretty boy, I’ll give you that. But you’re not my type. Even if you strip down and throw yourself on my bed, I’d still show you the door p>
Cole’s face darkened. Pretty boy? Did she just call him that? And the part about him on her bed… The nerve. Who did this woman think she was?
“That’s my type,” Elliana said, pointing squarely at Myles in the front seat.
“Refined. Elegant. Humble. Polite. Now that’s a man I’d go for. You?” She gave Cole a dismissive once-over. “You’re just eye candy. Not the main course p>
The car went silent. The driver, Aron, and Hugh all turned to stare at Myles, their faces frozen with shock.
Even Cole shot Myles a cold, questioning look—as if to ask if Myles really had all those traits she listed.

Myles, who’d been quietly enjoying the drama, suddenly felt the blood drain from his face. He adjusted his glasses with trembling fingers and gave Elliana a pleading look that practically said, “Ms. Marsh… If you want to chase Mr. Evans, just do it! Why drag me into this mess p>
Noticing the silent plea in his eyes, Elliana realized she might have put him on the spot. Deciding to spread the heat around, she shifted her gaze to the driver.
“He’s not bad either. Not a heartthrob, but he gives off a calm, steady vibe. Feels mature. Honest. I like that,” she said thoughtfully.
The driver, who had been grinning through the show, suddenly felt ice in his veins. He shot a nervous glance at Cole’s stiff expression before forcing a shaky smile. “Ma’am, please. I’m just a driver. Compared to Mr. Evans, I’m nobody p>
Myles jumped in, eager to agree. “He’s right! I’m just an assistant! Mr. Evans is a powerhouse. We’re nothing like him p>
Elliana watched them squirm and had to bite back a laugh. She figured if she dragged everyone into it, Cole couldn’t target just one person. Her finger moved toward the back seat.
Aron and Hugh, who had been chuckling, instantly lost their smiles when she turned to them.
Hugh, usually the slow one, moved fast for once. “I—I have a girlfriend! Her name’s Mabel!” he blurted out.
Elliana’s smile deepened. So Hugh was that devoted to Heather, huh? Even after days without Heather, he was still holding on to her. Fine. For Heather’s sake, she let him off the hook.
