Crises in Love novel Chapter 109

With a yank from me, Jaylan snapped out of his daze, a bit embarrassed that everyone was watching him. His handsome face flushed as red as beetroot.

He looked at me, trying to find an excuse, "What... what's going on here?"

Gevena's expression was slightly off, but she still spoke up, "I invited some dear friends over for a gathering today. Thought of Aaliyah since she just recovered from her illness – it's good for her to get some fresh air. So, I had my driver pick her up."

Gevena's reasoning made sense, then she glanced at Jaylan's awkward face, sounding somewhat upset, "Seems like you're not too pleased, Mr. Dawson."

Jaylan quickly put on a flattering smile, "Gevena, that's not it. It's just a misunderstanding. I didn't know you guys were here for fun. I'd have loved it if I'd known. Allie has been cooped up for too long. I appreciate your consideration for her. I've been telling her to hang out with her friends more, it's good for her mood. Please, don't misunderstand!"

His change of attitude was so swift that anyone almost thought that the previous scene was not his doing. His smile was so bright it could charm the dead.

Gevena didn't quite buy it, her expression still off, clearly upset at the interruption. Everyone in Goldenvale Town's business circle knew not to offend her. She was like a Guardian Angel of Wealth, and many would kill to get close to her.

Jaylan was no exception. He was wary of Gevena, especially after he took over Medsafe Liyah Inc. He is quite intimidated by her as she is a proud woman who doesn't take flattery easily.

Seeing Gevena's cold expression, Jaylan quietly nudged me several times.

Gevena spoke in a neutral tone, "Today isn't just for fun, we also have a serious matter. There's a networking event for entrepreneurs, with potential for international connections. Aaliyah was excited when she heard about it. She thought it would be a great opportunity for your company to break into the international market.
