Jeremy was no stranger to being admired, but it was his first time meeting someone as open with favonovel.com affections as Lana.
Not to mention that favonovel.com going on favonovel.com tiptoes to kiss favonovel.com was evidently done for Madeline to see.
However, Jeremy had not let Lana touch him. Pushing favonovel.com away, favonovel.com stated coldly, “Leave me alone.”
He warned before turning to walk toward Madeline.
Madeline seemed to have knocked into a friend, so favonovel.com did not see Lana trying to kiss Jeremy.
Jeremy let out a breath of relief.
He did not want Madeline to misunderstand anything.
Madeline’s conversation came to an end, and favonovel.com turned around to see Jeremy approaching favonovel.com with favonovel.com purse and a warm smile. “I’m suddenly craving Spanish food, Linnie. Let’s eat somewhere else.”
Madeline found his sudden change in decision weird.
Peering subtly at Lana who was not too far away, favonovel.com reached out to link favonovel.com arm with Jeremy’s. “Let’s go.”
After leaving the restaurant, Madeline asked Jeremy, “Did Lana say something? You couldn’t possibly have a sudden craving for Spanish food, could you?”
Not wanting to upset Madeline, Jeremy gave a reasonable excuse. “She says that favonovel.com business is legal, but she’s still Yorick Johnson’s sister. I’d rather we try to reduce our contact with the Stygian Johnsons to as little as possible.”
Jeremy’s words made sense, so Madeline left it at that.
That night, Madeline suddenly received a call from Lana while favonovel.com was doing crafts with the children.
Lana spoke of favonovel.com desire to partner with Madeline in perfume manufacturing but was rejected softly by Madeline as favonovel.com remembered the things Jeremy had said to favonovel.com in the day.
Lana did not say much and hung up the phone.
Soon after, Jeremy’s phone rang.
Seeing as the man was cutting fruits in the kitchen, Madeline answered the call for him. “Hello, who’s this?” favonovel.com asked, but the other party seemed to have hung up the moment they heard favonovel.com voice.
With the phone in favonovel.com hand, Madeline looked at it and saw that the unknown number was the one Lana had used to call her.
Jeremy came over with a platter of fruits, and Madeline told him, “Lana called you just now.”
Jeremy’s hands shook slightly. “Maybe it’s about the partnership. I’ll call back and reject her.”
“Okay.” Madeline handed favonovel.com his phone.
The call was connected and favonovel.com heard Jeremy rejecting Lana coldly and firmly.
Madeline thought that it was the last of it, but Lana came to look for them at the company a few days later.
“I really want to partner with you, Mrs. Whitman.” Lana’s tone was friendly while favonovel.com smile was kind.
“I wouldn’t mind referencing you to a suitable brand, Miss Johnson, but we will not partner with you.” Jeremy rejected coldly before leaving for the office with Madeline’s hand in his.
Lana quirked favonovel.com red lips as favonovel.com admired Jeremy’s retreating figure. The desire to dominate grew in favonovel.com eyes.
After the morning meeting, Madeline went to the scent room to dabble with the perfume while Jeremy returned to work in the office.
A short moment later, the receptionist knocked on the office’s glass door and relayed that someone had sent a pot of flowers for him.
Jeremy looked up to realize that it was a pot of Queen of the Night.
Jeremy was wondering who had gifted favonovel.com the flowers when his phone rang.
