Rose knew that he must have gotten wind of this, so she did not hide any longer. "I gifted myself to him, which was how I got this contract."
Zayne,
Jay took out his phone, typed out a line of text, and held it up in front of Zayne.
"Rose, let’s meet up!"
"Alright, text me where and when.”
Rose agreed easily.
"Oh, okay," as Zayne said that, Jay ended the call.
Then, he snatched Zayne's phone over and said with a forceful tone, "Lend me your phone."
Zayne reached out to snatch it back. "Then what am I going to use?"
He handed him a wad of dollars. “Go buy a new one."
Zayne felt helpless. "I have many clients on my phone. What happens if they call me?"
"I'll answer the calls for you."
"They’re going to discuss job partnerships with me. Are you going to do that for me as well?"
Jay opened the contacts page, gave it a look, then gave Zayne a condescending gaze. "You must've contacted
them for a long time, but they're all ignoring you, right?"
Zayne frowned. "Please don’t stab me in my wounds, alright?"
The other man replied, "Do you know why they're ignoring you?"
"Because the Severe family's reputation has dropped?"
"Unrelated."
Zayne widened his eyes. "Then, what's the reason? Don't tell me that they don't like my face? My nose is still a nose and my eyes are still eyes. I look spirited and cool, unlike someone who's not reliable... What reason do they have not to work with me?"
Jay took Zayne's phone and pocketed it. "Give me your phone and I’ll tell you."
Zayne looked dissatisfied. "Could I not have given it to you? You’ve taken it already.”
He replied, "The development time for these businesses is not long. All they want is stability, so they won’t change partners that easily."
