The Enigmatic Return (Neera and Jean) novel Chapter 491
Jean sounded so formal and distant, which caused Kyra's heart to ache.
She was used to such coldness from Jean anyway. She put her hand down while maintaining a smile on her face.
"Yes, Mrs. Beauvort told me the same thing. By the way, I have to thank Mrs. Beauvort for inviting me to join Star Entertainment Media. I didn't want to bother you or her, but she insisted that I join, and I didn't want to disappoint her. I'll have to find another day to pay her a visit so I can properly thank her," she said, trying to keep a jovial tone to hide her awkwardness.
Of course, she deliberately mentioned Wrenn so that everyone who heard it would know she was close to Jean's mother.
The managers had certain thoughts about that, though they did not show it on their faces.
Jean understood what she was implying as well, and that only made his tone even colder. "The Beauvort family always repays a debt of gratitude. You've helped my mother a lot, so it's only natural for her to take care of you. Now that you're in Star Entertainment, you should work hard. The company will treat you based on what you're worth."
Jean pulled the distance away from her once more.
Finally, a crack appeared in Kyra's impeccable expression.
She thought she could let everyone know that Wrenn had recognized her as part of the family, but Jean made it clear that she was nothing but an outsider.
What's more, Kyra had only joined Star Entertainment Media because of connections!
That was utter humiliation.
Neera watched the interaction without saying a word.
Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that Jean was not interested in Kyra at all, but Kyra remained stubborn.
More importantly, Neera was currently Jean's wife by name. What Kyra was doing only made her a mistress and an adulterer.
She found it amusing that she used to think Kyra was more principled than that.
Neera turned her head away and asked Larry, "Where's Sasha? I haven't seen her."
Larry smiled and replied, "She's here. Please wait for a moment."
He asked someone to go look for Sasha, who quickly came over.
"Ms. Garcia! I'm glad that you still remember me. I saw you being all lovey-dovey with Mr. Beauvort, so I didn't want to disturb you. I suppose it would have been very rude and ignorant of me to do so."
Sasha didn't miss the opportunity to take a jab at Kyra. The managers heard that but said nothing.
Neera stammered to explain, "I…We… We weren't being lovey-dovey. Don't tease me."
Sasha flashed a deliberate smile. "I'm not teasing you! Mr. Beauvort only has his eyes on you ever since you stepped into the hall!"
She turned her head to Jean as though asking for confirmation. "Am I right, Mr. Beauvort?"
A hint of warmth appeared on Jean's cold demeanor.
"Yes, you're right," he said with a gentle smile. "After all, Neera is brilliant tonight. I wish I could keep her for myself."
Those words were directed at Sasha, but he was gazing at Neera all the while.
The love and tenderness in his eyes were palpable.
Kyra froze on the spot. She stared incredulously at the man.
Is… Is he the Jean Beauvort I know?
Neera was equally shocked. When she came to her senses, she blushed intensely.
Does he have no shame? He sounds like a Casanova!
