Chapter 45

Jason “Don’t you want the Digital Springs project anymore?”

Estrella immediately opened the door on the passenger side, smiling as she got in, Talking business works for me too.”

Jason’s expression remained one of distaste, Dammit, she was always so pragmatic, wanting only the most tangible things in life.

As the engine roared to life, Estrella shot Jason a look full of ambiguous admiration, her smile wide and seemingly adoring. Out of the corner of his eye, Jason caught her gaze and felt his skin crawl with goosebumps. Anyone who didn’t know better might think Estrella was head over heels for him.

Jason tugged at his collar with his right hand trying to shake off the feeling and said coolly, “You hung up on me, and you even turned off your phone. Have you found your next option? Are you sure he can give you a child?”

Estrella’s smile faltered, no need to ask-it was Bryce’s doing. He just sneaked back by -hitching a ride on the train, but it seemed he really can’t learn his lesson.
