Chapter 143
\nHe Never Noticed Me Until I Loved Someone Else novel Chapter 143<\/p>\n
George put the call on speaker, the long ringing tone echoing loudly through the quiet living room.<\/p>\n
Stella hadn’t expected him to be so blatantly distrustful.<\/p>\n
She frowned deeply.<\/p>\n
Stopping him would only make her look guilty, so she had no choice but to wait in silence.<\/p>\n
After a few rings, Jarrod finally answered. “George, what’s going on?”<\/p>\n
His tone was perfectly flat, betraying no emotion.<\/p>\n
The background was quiet, suggesting he had finished his mall inspection.<\/p>\n
George forced a hearty laugh. “Jarrod, are you taking a break? Would you like to come over for dinner tonight? Stella is here.”<\/p>\n
Stella’s expression darkened. She despised how George constantly used her as a bargaining chip.<\/p>\n
There was a brief pause on the other end before Jarrod replied coolly. “Just tell me what you need, George. I won’t be coming for dinner.”<\/p>\n
George chuckled again, unbothered. “It’s nothing major. Stella mentioned she’s starting at The Quinn Group on Monday. I’m just a little worried about her lack of experience and whether she can manage the team. I was hoping you might have some time to drop by and give her some pointers?”<\/p>\n
George was a cunning old fox. He knew better than to ask directly about The Fuller Group’s investments. This way, he showed deference while smoothly testing the waters.<\/p>\n
Jarrod easily saw through the underlying motive.<\/p>\n
“I wouldn’t interfere with your company’s internal affairs. However,” Jarrod paused slightly before continuing in a smooth, detached tone, “my assistant left a document regarding the termination of our partnership at your house the other day. I’d appreciate it if you could tear it up. I wouldn’t want my grandfather catching wind of it and thinking I’m targeting The Quinn Group.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-3431","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/3431","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/chapter"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3431"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
