She thought, Isn’t this about catching up? I need you to know that Tahella is already taken and not someone you should be thinking about anymore.
Jayden’s face suddenly darkened, the gentleness disappearing as he asked sternly. “Who?”
Even if he wasn’t interested in Isabella, she was still his woman. He thought. How could there be someone else interested in her? In’t her in love with met
The chilling tone made Ivana’s hand shake with the fork. She thought, What did Jayden mean by that?
Is it because he is upset and throwing a tantrum?
Ivana looked at Jayden, feeling a bit hurt, and said, “Jayden, do you still like Bella?”
玛
The joy Ivana felt before had now turned into deep resentment
She thought. “Why doesn’t that woman just go away? They’ve already broken up, yet she still has a hold on his heart!
Jayden secried to notice something off in his tone, and his expression softened a bit. Looking at Ivana, he gently said, “I know you’ve always been reasonable.”
However, his words carried a hidden warning.
Just a few words, but it was like a grip on Ivana’s throat, leaving her unable to say a word against him.
For all these years in front of Jayden, she had always been obedient and reasonable.
Jayden’s word was final, and Ivana didn’t dare to not listen.
After all, she still wanted to marry Jayden and secure her position as Mrs. Logue.
With her head down, Ivana nodded sadly, “I don’t know who’s pursuing Bella. The person who sent the flowers didn’t say, but she seemed really happy:”
Jayden’s face darkened, and he clenched his fists under the table
At this crucial moment, he couldn’t let anyone else get ahead of him.
He nodded and replied, “I understand.”
Jayden didn’t say much more; he just took a few bites and considered it done.
Ivana wanted to say more to Jayden, but he had already stood up. “Ivana, I have something to do. After you finish eating. head back on your own.”
He put on a mask and walked out of the room without looking back.
Watching his retreating figure, Ivana immediately called out, “Jayden!”
However, Jayden had no intention of giving her any attention, and soon, the door to the room was closed.
Ivana was so angry that she slammed her fork onto the table, sending dishes scattering everywhere until they clattered to
the floor.
Her face contorted with anger as she gritted her teeth and cursed, “Bitch, why don’t you just drop dead?”

At PM, everyone in the design department gradually returned their workstations, slowly getting busy with their tasks.
Even though Isabella couldn’t get the jade, she decided not to dwell on it and focused on other things.
As for the jade, she knew she would make Ivana give it up sooner or later.
Ivana stepped in from outside the design department, as usual showing a friendly demeanor in front of others. But when she passed by Isabella, she gave her an icy glare.
Without saying anything, she walked directly to her office,
Laura rolled her office chair closer to Isabella and asked curiously, “What’s up with her?
She thought. The fake innocent girl isn’t acting anymore; that’s really unexpected.
Isabella shrugged. looked at Laura, and said softly. “Who cares, let’s just focus on our work.”
She thought, “Trying to understand what’s in the head of a fool is impossible for most people
Laura also stopped paying attention to these matters and got busy with her own work.
At that moment, there was a voice at the door, Is Isabella. Ms. Stout, here?”
Suddenly, everyone looked towards the door. The delivery guy was holding yet another large bouquet of flowers. This time they were pink roses, not as expensive as the bouquet from the morning.
a Isabella paused for a moment, put down her work, and reached out, “Here I am.”
The delivery man stepped forward to give the flowers to Isabella
Isabella felt a bit puzzled. She thought, ‘Surely, he isn’t sending two bouquets in a day, is he?”
With past experiences, she didn’t need to say much and had already picked up the pen to sign.
The delivery man nodded politely and left.
Everyone looked at Isabella with envy, thinking, “Is it the same person sending flowers again? Isn’t this approach a bit too intense?”
Isabella pulled out a heart–shaped card from the bouquet, and the words inside immediately caught her eye.
[Bella, this bouquet is for you. May you be as happy as a flower every day. Jayden]
Isabella’s face suddenly darkened, feeling like she’d just swallowed a fly.
She thought, Is Jayden deliberately trying to annoy me?”
She quickly stood up and tossed the bouquet into the nearby trash can, along with the card.
Everyone watching this scene was even more curious now.
They figured. The person who sent these flowers isn’t the same as this morning. Isabella was so happy with her flowers. earlier, but now she seems different.

Even Laura was taken aback by Isabella’s reaction She thought, abella must really dislike this person
However, Ivana also saw this scene
In frowned, a bad feeling suddenly rising from the bottom of her heart.
She walked to the trash can and happened to see the line written on the card.
She found out Jayden sent flowers to Isabella. It was him who set the flowers this morning. She has never received this kind of attention before.
At this moment. Ivana snapped, almost instinctively shouting in anger, Isabella, you-
All the employees in the design depatiment turned to look at Ivana.
Ivana’s angry words were caught in her throat, neither going up or down, as if she might faint from anger at any moment.
She forced a smile, suppressing her fury, and with a gentle smile the reassured, “It’s nothing, everyone, get back to work.”
Isabella wore a half–smile, her eyes clearly filled with disdain, driving Ivana to the brink of a breakdown. She thought. “This vile woman is blatantly provoking me! The precious things I care about, she just tosses aside carelessly! Wretched woman! Someday Tim going to get rid of Isabella!”
Ivana took a deep breath, grabbed the papers, and walked forward immediately.
Everyone looked suspiciously at Ivana’s retreating figure. They thought, ‘What exactly did she see that made her react so strongly?
Melanie was the first who couldn’t sit still and immediately leaned in. The others, prompted by her, stood up to follow, and soon they saw what was written on the card.
Everyone was astonished to see Jayden’s name. They couldn’t believe it was Jayden, the top Hollywood star. They wondered if he was pursuing Isabella.
They thought, ‘So, the online buzz about the superstar’s heroic rescue was proof that they were involved all along?”
Everyone couldn’t help but gasp. They just uncovered juicy gossip.
Everyone uncontrollably looked at Isabella, only to see her calmly continuing her work.
Melanie’s face turned even sourer, realizing that the rumors weren’t just something Isabella had made up.
She thought, ‘Now it seems it’s all true! Why Isabella? To actually get the top Hollywood star’s attention!
Everyone looked at Isabella, their expressions changed, and they hurriedly returned to their seats in silence The office atmosphere hit rock bottom.
Isabella didn’t care at all and continued with her work.
Laura noticed the change in the room’s atmosphere and glanced at the card. With just one look, her eyes widened in shocl She looked at Isabella without saying a word and quietly returned to her work. She thought, ‘What a day of surprises!”
