Crises in Love (Zora and Jaylan) novel Chapter 52

Without a second thought, Jesper responded, "Jaylan went to the Harbor today. A shipment of equipment arrived, and he went to pick it up."

"The Harbor? Isn't that Addrion's job? Why did he go personally?" I asked straight away.

Addrion was an older college buddy of mine who had helped me a lot when I was just starting. After I registered my company, I brought Addrion on board to handle transportation and external relations. He was also one of my shareholders.

"Addrion quit a while ago! He was caught smuggling personal items in our shipments, and he resigned voluntarily!" Jesper replied smoothly.

"Smuggling?" I echoed with skepticism.

Before Jesper could answer, Jessica pushed the door open and walked in.

"Jesper, it's time for the meeting, what are you still doing here?" she said as soon as she walked in.

Jesper glanced at Jessica and retorted, "Can't you see our sister-in-law is here? Tell them to delay the meeting."

"Aaliyah? What brought you here?" Jessica seemed to notice me only then. She turned to the secretary who had just brought in the coffee and instructed, "Inform everyone that the meeting is delayed by ten minutes!"

I smirked internally. It was clear that she was trying to get rid of me.

Jessica sat down next to me with a forced smile and asked, "Are you feeling okay? You need to rest more!"

"I'm fine! I got tired of lying around, and the doctor suggested I get some exercise. I thought I'd drop by the company and join Jaylan for lunch!" I replied nonchalantly. "I didn't expect you all to be here and so busy!"

"Jaylan is very busy, running around all day. It's not like it was when you were here. The competition is intense now, we have to run our legs ragged to sell a single piece of equipment." Jessica was indirectly hinting at our financial difficulties.
