Eric took the initiative to speak, so it was a good sign.
He glanced at the people outside and curled his lips meaningfully to hide his indifference.
When people saw Eric and Jayla talking and laughing, they were surprised and envious.
Jayla was elated when she received such envious gazes.
The gloom from the previous few days was swept away, and Jayla finally felt like she had made a comeback in upper-class society.
Eric was talking to another person, so other people started to surround Jayla.
“Ms. Jennings, Mr. Ferguson seems to be interested in you, huh?”
“Yeah, Ms. Jennings. I heard that Mr. Ferguson helped solve your family’s problems?”
“Ms. Jennings, when will we hear your marital news?”
Everyone was flattering Jayla, which made her a little flustered.
Suddenly, the sound of high heels came from not far away.
“What’s all the fuss about?”
Cindy came late and saw everyone surrounding and flattering Jayla.
She glanced around with a demure smile. Her temperament was different from those brainless rich young ladies.
Everyone knew that Cindy and Eric were close some time ago.
However, no one mentioned it for fear of causing a scene.
Thus, no one spoke for a while.
However, there were a few people who liked drama, so someone said, “Mr. Ferguson didn’t glance at any ladies earlier, but he treated Ms. Jennings differently. I think that the position of Mrs. Ferguson will be filled soon!”
Jayla bowed her head and smiled embarrassedly.
“There’s nothing between us, so don’t talk nonsense. Some people might misunderstand us!”
Everyone could not help but laugh.
Cindy’s expression froze slightly, but she quickly calmed down.
“Really? Is your family problem solved?”
Jayla was slightly taken aback and quickly pulled Cindy aside.
After all, what happened with the Jennings family was not very glorious. They almost went bankrupt.
Jayla said in a low voice, “Ms. Yeager, keep your voice down. You’re the only one who knows the inside story.”
“Okay. Sorry, I won’t tell anyone. I’ve been on a business trip during this time and didn’t have a chance to meet Mr. Ferguson, so I didn’t get to help you. You won’t blame me, right?”
Cindy’s face was full of guilt as if she really cared about Jayla.
“Of course I won’t! I know you’re a good person. I found an opportunity to come here by myself, so don’t worry. I even got Mr. Ferguson’s personal phone number!”
Jayla blurted out.
Cindy’s face froze, and she paused.
“Personal number?”
Cindy suddenly felt a little uneasy.
After all, Cindy did not even have Eric’s personal phone number. Her assistant had to pass on messages to Mitchell.
Cindy and Eric had almost no personal contact.
Larry and Cindy had hinted that they would like Eric’s personal phone number so that it would be easier to contact him.
However, because Eric was too busy, all his private calls were taken by Mitchell. Mitchell also refused to give them Eric’s number.
Thus, Cindy was jealous upon hearing Jayla’s words.
She regained her expression and said with a smile, “Congratulations, then. I’m also very surprised. How did you get to come here? It seems that your family’s problem has been resolved?”
Jayla pursed her lips, and her eyes flickered.
“Not yet, but it should be resolved soon. I don’t think Mr. Ferguson intends to make us go bankrupt. There must be a misunderstanding.”
Cindy’s eyes lowered slightly, and the corners of her lips curled up.
Jayla was not stupid as she was not willing to share everything with Cindy.
