Find me in your labyrinth (Stella and Jonathan) novel Chapter 2420

Sophia stood hesitantly outside Jason's door, her hand frozen mid-air, about to knock. The deep, masculine response from inside made her heart race.

"Just breathe," Sophia murmured to herself, trying to muster some courage. It was Jason who had feelings for her, not the other way around. And wasn't it him who had kissed her that day? If anyone should feel nervous, it should be him, not her.

"Don't be afraid!" She whispered to herself, aiming for a sense of nonchalance.

But the sleepless nights had taken their toll, leaving dark circles under her eyes. Would Jason notice? And if he pressed her for answers, what would she say? Mentioning Robin might only make things worse.

Lost in thought, Sophia was startled when the door suddenly swung open. Jason stood there, an unreadable expression in his eyes. "What are you doing, waiting for me to open the door for you?"

Her face flushed with irritation. "Oh, I wouldn't dare expect Mr. Gilder to open the door for me. I'm not that important."

Jason retorted, "Maybe not important, but certainly feisty!"

Sophia just glared at him as he turned and walked back into his office, telling her to close the door behind her. The brief exchange seemed to ease her nerves, though she still avoided making eye contact. "Did you need to see me about something?"

Jason, seated behind his desk, spoke matter-of-factly. "Mrs. Jasmine sent some things for you. Pick them up from my place tonight."

"My mom sent something for me?" Sophia's curiosity was piqued.

"You'll see when you get there."
