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

Chapter 90

Estrella turned to face Logan with a playful smirk. “Logan, if I took orders from his secretary, I’d be stepping on toes on your behalf.”

Logan was utterly flabbergasted.

Not far off, Jason cast a cool, indifferent glance in her direction. It was clear to him now. In public, Estrella could deny their connection more convincingly than he ever could.

“Logan, you’ve got quite the dream team building here. These young guns and roses, not only are they sharp as tacks but also easy on the eyes.”

“Justice Guardians LLP snagging Mr. Jason’s legal affairs? You guys are soaring high.”

“Gentlemen, we at Justice Guardians LLP are all about serving you fine folks.”

Estrella had been knocking cases out of the park lately, and just recently, Logan had passed Ryan’s high-profile case her way.

As the drinks circulated and the crowd learned that Estrella was Ryan’s lawyer, the

conversation grew even livelier.

“Ms. Estrella, so young and stunning-you must still be on the market, right?” Estrella’s youth and beauty were the talk of the table, leading to the inevitable inquiry.

As the man’s words hung in the air, Jason gave her a sidelong glance, noticing how Estrella hadn’t really looked at him all evening, as if she truly didn’t know him.

Hearing the question, Estrella flashed a confident smile. “Keith, if you know any eligible bachelors, I guess I’m still available.”

Grayson, also present at the dinner, nearly choked on his drink at her response. Clearing his throat, he glanced over at Jason, whose expression visibly darkened.

Serene tensed up and then turned to Jason. Noticing his sour mood, Serene ladled some soup into a bowl for him. “Jason, you’ve had a bit to drink. Have some soup to settle your stomach.”

Keith, amused by Serene’s attentiveness, chimed in. “Mr. Jason’s secretary is quite the heart-warmer. I was thinking, with Ms. Estrella’s talent and looks, she’d make a striking match with Mr. Jason-seems like that line might not be tied after all.”
