Next Man, Better Plan novel Chapter 229

She suspected Jonathan preferred to stay out of the limelight.

Besides, even if Jonathan agreed, what about York? If he found out, would he cause trouble for Jonathan again?

She said softly, “I’ll mention it to him, but don’t get your hopes up.”

“Why not?” Cecilia was confused. “I won’t ask about the Vasquez family’s private affairs.”

Cecilia knew a little about the Vasquez family situation, including York’s three partners, but of course she wouldn't betray her best friend by exposing that.

And she wasn’t brave enough to challenge a corporate giant anyway.

“It’s just a standard interview. A lot of industry leaders have done them. It won’t touch on anything else.”

The main draw was Jonathan’s unique status. Everyone was curious about such a mysterious figure.

Not long ago, Quennel had appeared on a livestream for Meridian Consortium's contract signing, creating a huge buzz online and causing Meridian’s stock to rise for days.

Jonathan's appearance would likely have a similar, if not greater, effect.

Cecilia said in a half-joking tone, “When you two are in bed at night, just cuddle up and whisper sweet nothings in his ear.”

Noticing the edge of a man’s shirt slowly appearing in the video frame, Cecilia deliberately raised her voice. “Just do it for me! What’s wrong with using your charms a little?”

“Besides, didn’t you say yourself that your Jonathan is not only handsome but also… well-endowed and amazing in bed, and that you’re madly in love with him?”

??

Wait, when had she ever said something like that?

Suddenly, the soft hum of the refrigerator door opening sounded behind her. Stephanie flinched and instinctively turned around.

It was Jonathan!

Since his back was to her, Stephanie couldn’t see his expression.

She quickly turned back to the camera, made a fist, and mouthed viciously: You’re setting me up?

Cecilia covered her mouth, trying to stifle her laughter.

Her phone buzzed with a message from Cecilia.

[I totally ship you two. For real.]

[When you have your wedding banquet, I want a seat at the main table!]

Stephanie replied: [Not happening. We’re getting divorced in ten months.]

Cecilia: [You don’t have even the slightest feeling for him?]
