Save Her Lose Us (Evangeline and Soren) novel Chapter 490

Beneath the loose hospital gown, his frame looked incredibly thin. With his eyes closed, his striking features carried a tragic, fragile beauty, like a prince made of glass.

He's probably just exhausted, she reasoned silently.

Whenever she hit a wall with her code these past few days, she had tossed the problems at him. Finn always provided brilliantly unorthodox solutions that were incredibly valuable.

Thinking about it now... forcing a sick man to act as her unpaid consultant while he was supposed to be recovering made her feel like a bit of a monster.

But the guilt only lasted about two seconds before her bright mood returned.

Sure, she was a workaholic tyrant, but if this deal went through, UME would survive, Glenn Carlisle would keep his job, and she would rake in a massive commission.

She knew Finn was a billionaire who viewed that kind of money as loose change, but she needed it.

Dreams and ambitions required cold, hard cash to manifest.

Romance also required funding.

What could she get him that wouldn't bankrupt her but was still deeply thoughtful and impressive?

As she pondered, her eyes landed on the gold-rimmed reading glasses resting beside him.

A few seconds later, an idea sparked in her mind.

She spun back to her laptop, opened a fresh design file, and started drafting.

Finn had a slight astigmatism and practically inhaled books every day. She could design a specialized, personalized AI companion just for him—something to read alongside him and project the text he needed.

On top of that, she planned to code a highly lethal combat algorithm into the robot's hardware, maxing out its defensive capabilities.

Arabella had said they were surrounded by traitors. Fine. She would build him a bodyguard that could never be bought and would never betray him.

Some of the mechanics were currently beyond her capabilities, but she had the blueprint in her head. Adrenaline surged through her veins.

Right as she was furiously sketching out schematics, her phone buzzed.

It was Soren.

"You wanted an apology from Poppy. I will deliver it and fulfill my promise," his arrogant voice declared.
