NovelFameChapter 1446:
His stare didn’t waver. “Think about how he treated you. His words. His tone. He rejected you, and you walked
away. Now he calls, and you crunning? What does that make you look like?”
“That was before—" Jessica tried to explain.
“I don’t care when it was,” Jacob interrupted, his voice dropping into a calm that stung. “He dismissed your

than that.”
Jessica’s mouth parted, but no words came. Her grip on the suitcase loosened as she stood there, blinking back

“But | already said yes...” she murmured, her heart still caught in the echo of Melvin’s voice.
Jacob's gaze flicked to the suitcase on the bed. “Then say no. You're allowed to change your mind. That's what it

Jacob's reply cblunt, unmoved. “Work and relationships aren’t the same. Freya trusts him with deals—not
emotions.”
Jessica looked down, lips tightening. She didn’t know what to say. She didn’t even know what she wanted to feel.

“What's wrong?”
“She’s going to see her crush,” Jacob said flatly, like he was reading a bad forecast.

“Then let her.” Lawrence shrugged, unsurprised.
Jacob turned to him slowly, his eyes offering a silent threat. One wrong word and he’d be next.
Jessica lit up. “So you think | should go?”
“Why not? It's just a meeting, not a wedding.” Lawrence waved it off. Then, noticing Jacob's slow-burning glare,
he leaned in and nudged his arm. “Chill. Don’t glare a hole through me.”
