Crises in Love (Zora and Jaylan) novel Chapter 110

Gevena finished her speech, spinning around without giving a hoot about anyone's feelings, and said, "Alright! Enough gawking, let's move on!"

Janice responded in a sarcastically, "Still in the mood? If not, let's call it a night. Such a buzzkill!"

I was holding that invitation, frozen in place, looking at Jaylan, who was already looking downcast.

Truth be told, even though this was our meticulously orchestrated show, it was so realistic that I couldn't break character. I didn't know how to proceed next in embarrassment.

Jaylan looked awkwardly at Gevena's retreating figure, his face going pale. Suddenly, he turned back and locked his hawk-like gaze on Zora, who was still standing at the door, utterly confused. He growled, "This is all your doing!"

Without another word, I tossed the invitation to Jaylan’s face and headed towards the door, bag in hand. Catherine purposely yelled out from behind me, "Aaliyah, wait up! I'm coming with you!"

Despite knowing it was all an act, I still felt the sting of embarrassment. Jaylan didn't forget to pick up the invitation as he chased after me. I smirked to myself. This invitation indeed held some weight in his heart. He could still swallow his pride after being humiliated in such a way.

Of course, I knew the ins and outs of Jaylan's plans. He always wanted to break into the international market, but he lacked the right connections.

That was the main purpose of today's performance. I had to thank Gevena for her efforts. Despite her being Catherine's friend, Gevena was principled and loyal, unless she truly despised you.

Catherine told me that Gevena was so infuriated by Jaylan's despicable actions that she vowed to fully cooperate with us. She despised such men, and called Jaylan a piece of garbage.

Just as the elevator doors were about to close, he stuck his hand in, forcing them to reopen. He stepped in and pleaded, "Honey, I'm sorry... It's my fault."
