30 Days Till I Divorce My Husband (Estrella and Jason) novel Chapter 90

Chapter 90 

Estrella turned to face Logan with a playful smirk. “Logan, if I took orders from his secretary, I’d be stepping on toes on your behalf.” 

Logan was utterly flabbergasted. 

Not far off, Jason cast a cool, indifferent glance in her direction. It was clear to him now. In public, Estrella could deny their connection more convincingly than he ever could. 

“Logan, you’ve got quite the dream team building here. These young guns and roses, not only are they sharp as tacks but also easy on the eyes.” 

“Justice Guardians LLP snagging Mr. Jason’s legal affairs? You guys are soaring high.” 

“Gentlemen, we at Justice Guardians LLP are all about serving you fine folks.” 

Estrella had been knocking cases out of the park lately, and just recently, Logan had passed Ryan’s high-profile case her way. 

As the drinks circulated and the crowd learned that Estrella was Ryan’s lawyer, the 

conversation grew even livelier. 

“Ms. Estrella, so young and stunning-you must still be on the market, right?” Estrella’s youth and beauty were the talk of the table, leading to the inevitable inquiry. 

As the man’s words hung in the air, Jason gave her a sidelong glance, noticing how Estrella hadn’t really looked at him all evening, as if she truly didn’t know him. 

Hearing the question, Estrella flashed a confident smile. “Keith, if you know any eligible bachelors, I guess I’m still available.” 

Grayson, also present at the dinner, nearly choked on his drink at her response. Clearing his throat, he glanced over at Jason, whose expression visibly darkened. 

Serene tensed up and then turned to Jason. Noticing his sour mood, Serene ladled some soup into a bowl for him. “Jason, you’ve had a bit to drink. Have some soup to settle your stomach.” 

Keith, amused by Serene’s attentiveness, chimed in. “Mr. Jason’s secretary is quite the heart-warmer. I was thinking, with Ms. Estrella’s talent and looks, she’d make a striking match with Mr. Jason-seems like that line might not be tied after all.” 

As the middle-aged man finished speaking, Serene quickly looked up at Estrella with an embarrassed expression. Estrella didn’t even glance their way, instead she told Keith with. a laugh, “Mr. Jason is a bit out of my league.” 

Jason’s expression darkened even further at her words. Estrella had been delivering these subtle jabs all evening. 

Grayson found the situation amusing; it was clear that Jason had not managed to charm

her the night before. 

Sensing the tension, Logan tried to smooth things over. “Arden, Estrella, Drew, let’s not forget Mr. Jason is the bread and butter of Justice Guardians LLP. Let’s raise a toast to him.” 

Estrella seemed a tad cool towards Jason that night, and Logan noticed. Worrying she might offend their VIP, Logan kept trying to make peace. 

Logan’s words were the law, and since Jason was indeed their major client, Estrella had no reason to refuse the toast, joining Logan and others with her glass held high. 

As the group approached, Estrella stood unassumingly at the back, clearly uninterested in mingling with Jason. 

“Mr. Jason, we thank you for your trust in Justice Guardians LLP. We’ll do our utmost for Nelson International,” Logan proclaimed, with a glass in hand. 

Jason’s presence at the dinner was both a surprise and a delight to Logan, who had heard that Jason rarely attended such gatherings. With his attendance, Grayson and other executives had followed, making the networking event quite fruitful. 

Estrella was their lucky charm; ever since joining the firm, Justice Guardians LLP had been on a winning streak. 

At the table, Jason noticed Estrella lagging behind the group and turned to Drew, “Drew, bring Ms. Estrella a chair.” 

Η 

Estrella had said he was out of her league, so he decided to give her due honor and see how she would respond. 

When Jason instructed Drew to move a seat, the room fell silent, all eyes turning to Estrella. Could it be that Mr. Jason took the previous comments to heart and also saw a perfect pairing with Ms. Estrella? 

“Right away, Sir,” Drew promptly got up to fetch the chair. 

As Drew responded, Serene quickly stood up, offering her seat. “Estrella, here, take my 

spot.” 

Estrella, with a glass in hand, looked over at Jason, who quirked an eyebrow and smoothly pulled the chair Serene had vacated a bit further back for her. “Ms. Estrella, please, have a seat.” 

Logan snapped back to reality and quickly nudged Estrella, “Estrella, you’re in charge of the legal affairs for Nelson International. Have a good talk with Mr. Jason:” 

The young man next to Estrella promptly cleared the way for her. He had given Estrella a ride home last time, and he knew very well about her connection with Jason but since Estrella never mentioned it, he couldn’t say anything about this.

Jason’s grand gesture was met with Estrella’s candid response as she pulled the chair back and sat down gracefully. “Mr. Jason, since you’re being so gracious, I’ll gladly accept.” 

Following that, Logan and the others toasted with Jason, who graciously sipped his drink. 

each time. 

The dinner was more than halfway through, and Jason’s glass, which started the evening eighty percent full, was still at the same level, each toast met with a token sip. Estrella couldn’t help but suspect that Jason hadn’t even taken a real sip of his drink, merely tapping the rim of his glass to his lips as a token gesture. 

It made sense, after all. Sharing a table with someone of Jason’s clout was akin to being graced by royalty. A mere tasting of his drink was all you could expect from him; no one dared to challenge him to anything more.. 

After Logan had made his round of toasts, he glanced at Jason, whose arm was nonchalantly resting on the back of Estrella’s chair, making polite conversation while his. gaze occasionally lingered on her. With a grin, Logan turned to Estrella and said, “Estrella, since you’re spearheading the legal affairs for Nelson International, why don’t you take this splendid opportunity to share a drink with Mr. Jason?”
