Chapter A Rose 319
Chapter 319
Nancy cozied up to Yvette for a little bit. Then, Nancy suddenly remembered something.
Nancy asked awkwardly, "Yvie, what has Jacob been up to lately?"
Yvette knew what was on Nancy's mind. She smiled and said, "There were some issues in the company abroad. Jacob went back a few days ago, and he just returned today. He went straight to work at headquarters." "Jacob is so busy! He must not be getting enough rest and is tired by
now..."
"Yeah," Yvette said. "Jacob's really tired. Do you want to visit him with me, Nancy?"
"Yes!" Nancy excitedly nodded her head. Then, she realized she was
overreacting.
Nancy lightly coughed and said coyly, "Don't misunderstand, Yvie. don't really want to go, I'm just accompanying you. Otherwise, you'd be so bored by yourself!"
Yvette decided not to expose Nancy. Instead, she sent Jake a text
message.
"Do me a favor and go to Crown Bakehouse," she wrote.
Crown Bakehouse was a long-time bakery in Jubilife known to make delicious pastries. It was popular among the noble and rich families. However, they only sold pastries in limited quantities every day, making it difficult to buy their pastries. Jake swiftly replied, "Yes, boss!"
Yvette added, "Two boxes."
Chapter 319
"Boss, why two boxes? You can't possibly be buying one for Wilson Quinn, right?"
Yvette casually replied, "Yeah."
Immediately after Yvette sent that text, Jake called her.
"Boss, you're really giving that Wilson Quinn a lot of attention. You can't possibly..."
Hearing Jake's trembling voice as he trailed off, Yvette icily
interrupted him, "Shut up. If you talk any more, I'm going to block your
number."
If Jake learned that Yvette was dating Wilson, he would tell everyone. in the Dark Organization. Yvette thought it was too early for them to find out about her updated relationship status.
They would all come to Jubilife just to find trouble with Wilson if word got out. At the thought of that, Yvette was starting to get a headache.
Intimidated, Jake went silent. Then, he said sadly, "Fine. I'll stop, boss. I'll pick you up from Jubilife University after I buy the pastries.
Yvette nodded and said, "Okay."
20 minutes later, the pair arrived at Murray Corporation.
"I'm sorry, you cannot enter without an appointment."
Yvette didn't want to make things difficult for the receptionist. Just as she was about to call Jacob, the receptionist stared at her in surprise.
Wide-eyed from excitement, the receptionist asked, "Are you... Are you Mr. Murray's little sister?"
Then, the receptionist hurriedly tapped on a photograph on her phone and compared it to Yvette's face. Not only did Yvette look exactly like Chapter 319
the person in the photograph, but Yvette actually looked even prettier
in person!
The receptionist urged, "Please come in, Ms. Murray. I'm so sorry for not recognizing you immediately!"
Everyone in the company knew that Jacob doted on his little sister. Not only was his office filled with photographs of Yvette, but he also had photographs of Yvette on his phone's lock screen. Every time somebody mentioned Yvette, Jacob's facial expression would become gentle. He would become more easygoing, too.
