30 Days till I Divorce My Husband (Estrella and Jason)

Chapter 49

The standoff between the two had reached a stalemate when a stir suddenly rippled through the banquet hall.

Estrella followed the collective gaze and there he was-Jason had arrived, with Serene trailing beside him in a stunning powder blue cocktail dress.

“Jason looks dashing tonight. Who’s the lady with him?”

“I think that’s his personal secretary. I’ve heard Jason treats her really well, and she’s like his shadow.”

“Personal secretary? I’m green with envy. To see Jason every day must be a dream.”

The chatter of the women buzzed around Jesse who, with a turn of her head, watched Estrella’s expression. Damn it, couldn’t the guy tone it down and save Estrella some dignity? Half the room today was privy to their history.

Beside Estrella, Erin wore a smirk that held a hidden message. “Sticking with Jason is a losing game, Estrella.”

Estrella stepped forward, looping her fingers through Erin’s belt. “Let’s see if you’re brave enough to take on Jason, then.”

Erin stiffened, but eventually pried Estrella’s hand away, leaning in to whisper, “If you can’t” swallow your pride, I’ll be your plus one tonight.”

Across the room, Jason’s eyes swiftly picked Estrella out from the crowd. Observing her tete-a-tete with Erin, and the hint of an intimate charge between them, Jason’s gaze. turned sharply piercing.

Serene, noting the tension, tugged Jason’s sleeve discreetly, “Jason, Estrella’s over there.”

Jason averted his gaze, feigning ignorance of Estrella’s presence, unaffected by her.

As fate would have it, they soon found themselves within close quarters. Jason was mingling with a group of businesspeople from Hong Kong, potential investors attracted by Ravenwood government.

“Estrella!” Spotting Estrella at the Lamont family’s annual celebration, one person greeted her with both surprise and delight.

“Danny,” Estrella returned the greeting with a beaming smile.
