Chapter 170
\nHe Never Noticed Me Until I Loved Someone Else novel Chapter 170<\/p>\n
“Oh, speaking of,” Summer’s tone artificially brightened, “the anniversary party is set for Sunday night. You’re definitely coming, right?”<\/p>\n
Stella didn’t have the heart to pop her best friend’s fragile bubble.<\/p>\n
She had promised George she would help escort Grandma Margaret back to her hometown tomorrow. Even if she stayed overnight, she could easily make it back by Sunday afternoon.<\/p>\n
“Of course, I wouldn’t miss it,” Stella promised.<\/p>\n
…<\/p>\n
As dusk painted the city, Sebastian and Julian strolled into the monolithic headquarters of The Fuller Group.<\/p>\n
Jarrod had just wrapped up a brutal board meeting, rubbing his pounding temples as he entered his corner office, only to find the two of them sprawling on his Italian leather sofas.<\/p>\n
He paused, mildly surprised. “What are you two doing here?”<\/p>\n
“Seb’s ending his sabbatical next week,” Julian announced. “We figured we’d drag you out for drinks to celebrate. You weren’t answering your phone, and your assistant said you were stuck in a bloodbath, so we brought the party to the billionaire.”<\/p>\n
Jarrod’s gaze shifted to Sebastian. “I thought you were completely drained of inspiration. What massive luxury house managed to coax you out of retirement this fast?”<\/p>\n
Avoiding Jarrod’s piercing stare, Sebastian kept his eyes glued to his phone, scrolling aimlessly. “Nothing’s finalized yet. Just testing the waters.”<\/p>\n
“I think getting back into the grind is exactly what he needs!” Julian chimed in with his usual lack of a filter. “It’ll finally distract him from obsessing over a woman he has absolutely no business pursuing!”<\/p>\n
Sebastian shot Julian a murderous side-glance. “Do you ever shut up?”<\/p>\n
Julian puffed out his chest defensively. “I’m looking out for you, man! You’ve been wandering around like a lovesick zombie for days! I was half-expecting you to kick down someone’s door and pull a kidnapping!”<\/p>\n
Sebastian knew Julian was just running his mouth, but the joke hit too close to home. He sank deeper into the sofa, ignoring him completely.<\/p>\n
Sensing the suffocating tension, Jarrod finally spoke up. “Didn’t you want to drink? Let’s go.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-3458","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/3458","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=3458"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
