Chapter 6 Before , she would have sat right beside him during meetings , but now a noticeable distance had grown between them . Shayla noticed Javon's gaze lingering on Jaelynn , a brief flash of resentment in her eyes . " Jaelynn , the exhibitions managed by the project department are all running smoothly , except for the jewelry exhibition you're overseeing , which still has unresolved issues . Please give us an update . " Jaelynn looked up . She hadn't been expecting to report today and had made no preparations . Suddenly , all eyes were on her . " Okay . " Without any hesitation , she stood . Even without a presentation , she had the exhibition plan memorized and outlined the progress clearly and confidently .

Jaelynn seemed not to hear him . Her focus remained on the documents in the group chat . After the meeting , Shayla suddenly stepped in to block her path , " Mr. Bradford wants to see you in his office . He's not happy with your work performance . " Jaelynn stepped into the office . The potted plant she'd left on the windowsill had wilted from lack of water . She glanced at it but didn't dwell on it , turning her attention to Javon instead . ' Mr. Bradford , do you need anything else ? " " What kind of stomach medicine did I usually take ? " Javon was leaning back in his chair , eyes closed , clearly in pain . Jaelynn answered calmly , " You should ask Shayla about that . If there's nothing else related to the project department , I'll be going now . " " You don't even care that my stomach hurts . " Javon opened his eyes suddenly , but by then , Jaelynn had already walked out and was stepping into the elevator . In that moment , he felt a strange pang , as if his stomachache had worsened . That evening , at the Baldwin Hotel . Their friends were drinking red wine , all noticing Javon's sour mood . When the conversation turned to him , he replied dismissively , " The food isn't good . " 11.02 Menu < Chapter 6 Menu " Are you serious ? " Talon said , standing up immediately . " This hotel is famous for its seafood . If the food isn't good , I'll have to fire the chef . " " Mr. Bradford doesn't like seafood with shells . He only eats it if someone peels it and feeds it to him , " Logan added with a hint of teasing . Javon's expression darkened , and he was caught off guard . He had never peeled seafood himself . Whenever Jaelynn was around , his plate was always filled with the peeled meat . Have you and Jaelynn patched things up yet ? " Suddenly , Logan grabbed Javon's phone , typing as he spoke , " I told Jaelynn we're having dinner here tonight , and she hasn't replied . You really need to reach out yourself . " " Wait . " 4 Javon couldn't stop him in time . Logan looked up , surprised . " Did Jaelynn block you ? " The room went silent .

" I won't , " Javon snapped , annoyed , refusing to be the first to give in . bw T L late to regret it later , " Just then , someone rushed in , speaking quickly , " I just saw Jaelynn downstairs . " " Who said she was arguing with Mr. Bradford ? She's here now . Clearly , Mr. Bradford has always been the most important person to her . " Javon's lips curled into a smile , and the storm in his eyes softened . However , over ten minutes later , Jaelynn still hadn't appeared . 1914 Hi Talon stood up and checked the the surveillance footage . He returned , hesitating . She didn't get lost . She went into a private room on the 4th floor . The room was booked by the Pittman family . " " Could it be that she didn't come to see Mr. Bradford at all , but someone else ? " Logan blurted , and the room fell silent . Javon's face darkened instantly . Meanwhile , on the 4th floor , inside the private room . Jaelynn was showing the design effects of the planned theme on her tablet . The man sitting across from her wore an expensive tailored suit and a flashy watch . " Mr. Pittman , if you have no objections to the contract , then our collaboration is officially confirmed , " Jaelynn said . " I trust any exhibition managed by you , Ms. Norton . Let's sign the contract after dinner . " " Alright , thank you . " After finishing the meal and getting Damion Pittman's signed agreement , she stood up . " Mr. Pittman , I'll email you the details for our next steps . I'm heading out now , " Since she hadn't driven today , she took a taxi straight from the hotel . Meanwhile , Damion was heading to the parking lot when he ran into Javon in the elevator . " Mr. Bradford ? " Javon's eyes narrowed dangerously , his gaze piercing , and anger radiated from him . " Mr. Pittman , I've already told you to stay away from Jaelynn . She's mine . "
