The Years Between Signing and Seeing novel Chapter 463

She immediately took a step forward, grabbing his arm. "Mr. Baylor..."

Before the rest of her plea could leave her lips, she was met with his razor-sharp glare. Terrified, she instantly dropped her hand. "I'm sorry, it was a reflex... I can revise the proposal."

"There's no need," Jamie replied coldly. "Out of respect for Mrs. Yates, you can try collaborating with DC Entertainment in the future. That is the extent of it."

With that, he strode briskly out of the office.

Aaron hurriedly followed him like a guilty child, swallowing the questions he had wanted to ask.

He knew exactly who Crystal was. Her aunt had some history with Jamie's mother. But he also knew that his boss utterly despised people trying to leverage personal connections for business deals. Regardless of who they were, Jamie insisted everything go through standard corporate protocol.

Seeing the dark cloud hanging over his boss's face, Aaron deduced that Crystal must have asked for a favor and thoroughly annoyed him. If Jamie decided to point fingers later, the blame for letting her slip through the cracks would land squarely on Aaron's shoulders.

Aaron trailed Jamie all the way down to the garage. Only after they were seated in the car did Jamie break the silence.

"Any movement from the vice president lately?"

"We've gathered some evidence of embezzlement, but it's not enough to take him down in one blow," Aaron replied respectfully. "We've also noticed he's been in increasingly close contact with Myron Finch from Starlight Entertainment."

Aaron hadn't previously considered Myron a threat. On the night of the banquet, when the woman Myron kept on the side was injured, Jamie had ordered Aaron to handle the situation. Aaron had simply followed standard procedure, forcing Lexi to apologize and cover the medical expenses.
