NovelFameChapter 1449:
Once the door shut, Lawrence turned to Jacob with genuine curiosity. “So, tell me—who does Jessica have her
eye on?”
“Melvin Swain.” Jacob didn’t beat around the bush.
“Who?” A brief pause hung in the air as Lawrence blinked, caught off guard.
Jacob's look said it all. He knew Lawrence had heard him perfectly.
“You mean Melvin Swain—the one from Anita International Group?” Lawrence had never officially met the man
but was well aware of his reputation. “The sMelvin that Freya always puts her trust in?”
A single nod from Jacob confirmed it.
With a heavy sigh, Lawrence dropped onto the couch. It really was a tiny world—somehow, it always circled back
to Freya.
Curiosity got the better of him. “By the way, how's Freya these days?”
Jacob replied without much thought, “She’s doing just fine.”

With a sudden change in mood, Lawrence confessed, “I'm not, though. There's nowhere forto crash. Mind
lettingstay here for a while?”
Jacob gave no answer. Instead, he acted like Lawrence hadn't said a word.
Meanwhile, Jessica rode off with the driver Jacob had arranged for her. When she got to the café, she noticed
Melvin hadn't shown up yet.
Rather than worry, she settled into a window seat, perfectly content to wait since she’d arrived ahead of
schedule.
Minutes dragged on. It took nearly half an hour before Melvin finally walked in, running late.
Not missing a beat, Jessica commented, “Showing up late? You must have your hands full.”
“I cas fast as | could.” Melvin looked apologetic. “My last stop was about an hour away from here.”
Jessica fell silent. Really, she realized, this was on her—she hadn't checked the distance ahead of time.
Keeping her expression neutral, she said only, “Alright then.”
