Crises in Love (Zora and Jaylan)

Chapter 109

With a yank from me, Jaylan snapped out of his daze, a bit embarrassed that everyone was watching

him. His handsome face flushed as red as beetroot.

He looked at me, trying to find an excuse, "What... what's going on here?"

Gevena's expression was slightly off, but she still spoke up, "I invited some dear friends over for a

gathering today. Thought of Aaliyah since she just recovered from her illness – it's good for her to get

some fresh air. So, I had my driver pick her up."

Gevena's reasoning made sense, then she glanced at Jaylan's awkward face, sounding somewhat

upset, "Seems like you're not too pleased, Mr. Dawson."

Jaylan quickly put on a flattering smile, "Gevena, that's not it. It's just a misunderstanding. I didn't know

you guys were here for fun. I'd have loved it if I'd known. Allie has been cooped up for too long. I

appreciate your consideration for her. I've been telling her to hang out with her friends more, it's good

for her mood. Please, don't misunderstand!"

His change of attitude was so swift that anyone almost thought that the previous scene was not his

doing. His smile was so bright it could charm the dead.

Gevena didn't quite buy it, her expression still off, clearly upset at the interruption. Everyone in

Goldenvale Town's business circle knew not to offend her. She was like a Guardian Angel of Wealth,

and many would kill to get close to her.

Jaylan was no exception. He was wary of Gevena, especially after he took over Medsafe Liyah Inc. He

is quite intimidated by her as she is a proud woman who doesn't take flattery easily.

Seeing Gevena's cold expression, Jaylan quietly nudged me several times.

Gevena spoke in a neutral tone, "Today isn't just for fun, we also have a serious matter. There's a

networking event for entrepreneurs, with potential for international connections. Aaliyah was excited

when she heard about it. She thought it would be a great opportunity for your company to break into

the international market.

Given my relationship with Catherine, Aaliyah has been bringing up this matter to me frequently. So,

when the invitation arrived today, I quietly took one for Aaliyah. Didn't expect it to turn into this mess!"

She then turned to that man soaking wet and scowled, "Laird, are you done fixing it yet? Why are you

all wet? What a disgrace!"

It was clear to everyone that Gevena was indirectly mocking Jaylan through her driver. Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

The room fell silent, it was a scene of public humiliation.

Gevena's status was well-known, no one dared to offend her. Her influence, in some respects, was

even greater than the local governor.

Jaylan's face face fluctuated wildly, a clear indication of his stark embarrassment and discomfort.

His gaze on the man was still doubtful, as the scene when he first opened the door was indeed

ambiguous. Gevena seemed to understand his gaze, pointing at the man who was drenched, "Mr.

Dawson, this is my driver and bodyguard, Laird!"

She then looked at Jaylan and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, Mr. Dawson. I overstepped. I was worried

that Aaliyah might not be able to handle the drive, so I had Laird pick her up. I didn't mean to cause a

misunderstanding. I apologize for the ruckus."

Her tone was calm, but it was filled with disdain.

She then reached back and someone handed her a maroon envelope, which she handed to me,

"Aaliyah, here's the invitation you wanted! No matter what, you need to close this case. Since Mr.

Dawson is worried, you should go home with him!"
