Chapter 244 The Distressed Jordan

Milly completed her interview and left Viola’s place. Before she left, she made sure to collect three months rent. It was 150 dollars per month, so it totaled 450 dollars.

Although she had previously given Viola 15 thousand dollars, Milly believed firmly in the principle of business. She had to pay rent no matter what; there was no room for charity.

Relief washed over Milly after the matter was settled, but this feeling was short–lived.

As soon as she sat in the car, a sense of unease crept over her.

Philip, with an excited grin, waved his phone around, enthusiastically sharing some news. “Hey, Frank, watch out for the news. I made it onto TV! When’s it airing? That’s not important. What matters is that I’m on TV, on the national news! Yes, yes…”

Meanwhile, Jordan was also on the phone, but there was an unsettling chill about him. Milly was not sure if she was imagining things, but for a moment, she thought she detected a hint of … distress in his eyes when he glanced at her.

However, he quickly averted his gaze. Milly rubbed her nose, wondering if she had been mistaken.

Jordan is the CEO of the Burnett Group, and his every move can sway Adonio’s stock market–could he really be distressed? It must have been a trick of the light, she told herself.

The one most visibly excited was Apollo, who ran up to her and greeted her enthusiastically with his loud. howls. Milly patted his head with an affectionate smile.

Once seated, Ivan turned to her with a grin on his face, asking. “Ms. Milly, shall we head home now?”

Milly nodded and was about to respond when Jordan, who had just ended his call, interjected sharply, “Of course we’re going home. What else would we do? Continue the interview?”

Milly wasn’t sure if she had heard him right, but she could hear a distinct emphasis on the word ‘interview.

Sensing Jordan’s icy tone, Ivan wisely refrained from further conversation, as he figured that he was still jealous and that it wouldn’t be wise for him to say anything more. He instructed the driver to start the car and discreetly raised the partition, preferring not to look at Jordan so as to not be the target of his fury.

Milly blinked, puzzled by the situation. Tentatively, she asked, Jordan, is something wrong at the company? If there is, you should go and take care of it.”

Jordan turned to her, his expression tense. “The company is fine. What could possibly be wrong? After all, I handle all the annual financial news interviews. No one else can do it!”
