Crises in Love (Zora and Jaylan) novel Chapter 579

They caught a hitch in my expression and reeled in whatever they were about to say.

"Come on in!" Addison called out immediately.

I rose to my feet as Addison grinned and tugged at my arm, "Let's have a proper introduction. Meet the new CEO of Medsafe Liyah Inc., Mr. Caleb. And this gentleman is the Port Commissioner, Mr. Nathan."

My gaze narrowed and shifted toward Nathan, who immediately became flustered, rubbing his hands together before bowing respectfully, "Ms. Wilburn!"

I internally snorted, impressed with Addison's bold hiring choices.

"Nathan! This may be our first meeting, but I've heard your name before," I commented. "Here's hoping you'll do right by Mr. Addison in the future."

"I will," Nathan assured me with a firm look.

I didn't pursue the matter further. If Addison trusted him, he must have had his reasons.

Turning to Caleb, I smiled, "Caleb, it seems we're old friends who've barely met."

He returned the smile, extending his hand, "Thank you for your trust, Ms. Wilburn."

I eyed them, "Do you have a matter to attend to?"

Caleb hurriedly admitted, "There's a meeting."

"Then off you go! I'm going to wander around." I glanced at Addison, "Addison, I'll be off. Might head back to Silverdale City tomorrow."

"How about dinner together tonight?" Addison proposed with a hint of reluctance.

As I headed out, I called back, "Coordinate with your contact, I'll be ready whenever."

He saw me to the elevator, and just as the doors closed, I felt a twinge of loss but quickly shrugged it off, feeling at ease again.

Upon reaching the ground floor, I checked the time. It felt too early to head home. "Let's swing by Epoch Plaza," I suggested to Hannah, "I need some new clothes. I'm running out of things to wear."

"Roger that!"

We got into the car, and as I was about to start the engine, a red Porsche slid past us. Hannah and I exclaimed in unison, "Isn't that Renata?"

We exchanged glances, and I looked at Hannah skeptically, "What's she doing in this garage?"

"I'll check where she's headed," Hannah said, unbuckling her seatbelt and vanishing in a flash.
