The Heiress’s Second Chance at Vengeance
Chapter 215 An Unfinished Confession
After collecting her thoughts, Eliza took two steps forward.
“Nolan, I’ve made up my mind.”
Nolan paused in his tracks.
Finished
Behind him, Eliza said earnestly, “I was drunk last night, but I remember everything you said. I… I’m willing.”
The moment those words left her lips, Nolan’s body clearly trembled.
“Do you even understand what you just said?”
“Of course I do. Adults should take responsibility for their actions.”
“So you’re agreeing to be with me because you feel responsible?”
“1…”
“I was the one who kissed you first last night. If anyone should be responsible, it should be me.”
Eliza froze for a second.
“Just forget what you said earlier. Go get some rest.”
With that, Nolan walked out of the room.
For a brief moment, Eliza felt like she’d just been rejected.
What did Nolan mean by that?
That she didn’t need to take responsibility?
Like hell it was that simple.
Her phone lit up again–it was her assistant calling.
Only then did Eliza remember she needed to head to the office.
Soren might be a diva, but he was still a major celebrity. Leaving a big name like that hanging wasn’t exactly professional.
While Nolan wasn’t paying attention, Eliza slipped out of the Hayes family villa and drove straight to the company.
Her assistant had been waiting at the entrance for a while. When Eliza finally arrived, she walked up quickly and said, “Mr. Soren didn’t look too happy. He already left.”
“That fast?”

Eliza glanced at her watch.
She’d rushed over as quickly as she could.
Finished
“Soren had other appointments lined up. He only had about half an hour to spare. Ma’am… are we gonna lose this deal?”
“Probably not. Did he sign the contract yet?”
“No. His agent said he had more engagements today, so,they’re asking to sign later tonight. But… they want you there in person. Otherwise, they probably won’t go through with it.”
Eliza frowned.
This Soren might look refined, but he had quite the temper.
“Fine, I’ll go tonight and apologize. Where’s the meeting?”
“His agent said they’ll send the details later this afternoon.”
Eliza nodded. “Alright. He’s giving us a discount on the ad shoot, so I’ll go apologize in person.”
“But this Soren guy is really weird. Why does he only want to see you?”
“You want to know? So do I.”
Could it be because he recognized her last time at MISS?
No way. She’d never exposed her identity in public.
Only a few top–level employees even knew who she was.
Since she had to wait for Soren’s side to get back to them, Eliza stayed at the office all day.
In the afternoon, her assistant brought over a dress. Eliza looked puzzled. “What’s this for?”
“It wasn’t from me. Mr. Soren’s team sent it. He said he hopes you’ll wear it to dinner tonight.”
“Rich people really are something else. Who needs a gown just for dinner?”
Eliza glanced down at the dress. The fabric and craftsmanship were top–tier. But something about it felt off.
She looked up and asked, “Did you guys tell him I’m a woman?”
Her assistant shook her head. “No, we didn’t mention anything about your identity. When our VP went to meet him today, Mr. Soren just said the person he wanted to see wasn’t him. We thought it was strange
too.”
“Alright. No point overthinking it. I’ll go get changed. Where are we eating?”
