“As she said, we weren’t doing anything,” Jory answered nonchalantly and continued reading some documents.
At that instant, disappointment swamped her.
She saw it clearly that Gabriella put her arms on Jory’s back, and they seemed to be rather intimate. How could they have the cheek to deny it! Jory, you’re indeed cruel!
“I’m leaving.” With that, Nancy expressed her disappointment and turned around to leave.
“Wait,” Jory suddenly stopped her.
“Were you really with Joan only last night?” Jory eyed her curiously.
Instead of questioning her, he only wanted to make sure about it. After all, he was worried that something would happen to her.
“I’ve said it.” With that, Nancy banged the door and left.
Now, only Gabriella and Jory were left in the office.
“Mr. Synder, aren’t you worry that she’ll misunderstand?” Gabriella asked deliberately.
“Why would she misunderstand? You’re not my cup of tea anyway,” Jory answered straightforwardly.
At this moment, Gabriella felt that he was a boring man.
“But luckily, you were beside me. Otherwise, I would have fallen to the floor,” Gabriella added smilingly.
Due to anemia, Gabriella felt dizzy when she was picking up some documents on the floor. Hence, she put her hands on Jory’s back to support herself and stay conscious.
“Alright, Mr. Synder. If there is nothing else, I’ve to get going,” Gabriella said deliberately again as though she was hinting at something.
Have I ever needed anything from her? I mean, it has always been her who come and see me!
Jory smirked silently and didn’t give her any response.
“By the way, Mr. Synder, I would suggest that you should talk to your beloved Nancy because she was jealous,” Gabriella teased.
Suddenly, Jory stopped writing and looked out the window.
Meanwhile, Nancy was eating frantically in a restaurant as though she was famished.
“Hey, Nancy. What’s wrong with you?” Joan looked at her worriedly, feeling that something wasn’t right.
“I’m hungry!” Nancy said while she was eating. I don’t believe it! Joan took a peek at Nancy.
She believed that Nancy had an argument with Jory.
“Is everything okay between you and Jory?” Joan took a sip of her coffee as she gazed at Nancy, who sat in front of her.
Suddenly, Nancy stopped her frantic movements and began to sob.
“Joan, why did he do that to me? I disappeared for only a night. To be exact, I went to the bar to vent my emotions. However, it turned out that he has another woman. I can’t accept it!” Nancy complained while wiping away her tears.
I knew it! It was Jory again! At that moment, Joan’s eyes dimmed.
“What happened?”
After quite some time, Joan finally understood what really transpired.
“What should I do, Joan? Jory doesn’t want me anymore. We went through a lot before we are finally together…” Nancy asked sobbingly.
Meanwhile, Joan took a deep breath. She had never imagined that Jory would do such things to Nancy.
However, Joan thought that she had to verify the matter instead of listening to Nancy’s words.
Maybe it was only some misunderstanding.
Joan understood Nancy very well and knew that she often acted impulsively when it came to relationships. For instance, Nancy decided to divorce Caspian the moment she reunited with Jory.
As such, Joan took out her phone and made a call.
“Oh? Isn’t it Ms. Watts? Aren’t you still jealous of me? Why are you calling me all of a sudden?” Dustin deliberately provoked her.
“Dustin, I’m giving you a task. Please find out what’s wrong with your good friend, Jory. Does he still want to be with Nancy?” Joan said furiously.
Apart from her anger toward Jory, she actually had unpleasant feelings toward Dustin to a certain extent.
“They are doing great. Why are you worried about them? Jory looked for her the entire night last night,” Dustin replied nonchalantly.
