Edward crossed his arms, looking relaxed and laid–back. “I was the one pestering you first, so it’s normal for you to be upset. And I’m not that petty.”

I paused for a moment, then strode toward the complex.

The next day was the weekend, so I didn’t have to work. I hadn’t slept well the night before, so I was catching up on sleep around noon.

A phone call came in, and I answered groggily, “Hello, who is this?”

“Ms. Murphy, this is Jeffrey Jennings. I’d like to meet you,” came a commanding old man’s voice.

I shot upright, my heart racing with nerves. “Jeffrey Jennings?”

“Are you free? I’ll have Edward come pick you up,” he said.

“Yes!” I used to be a little scared of meeting Jeffrey Jennings, but now, with the Chamberlain Family possibly causing trouble, I was set on meeting him, no matter what.

He hung up first, and I quickly got out of bed and tidied myself up, choosing something formal to wear. Not long after, Edward called. “My dad asked me to come pick you up. We’re having lunch together.”

“Will Ryan be there?” I asked.

Edward replied, “He’s not coming. Just the three of us.”

Hearing that made me even more nervous. ‘Does Ryan not know Jeffrey Jennings wants to see me?‘ I wondered. ‘Looks like this meeting is all about me!‘

‘So, I’m definitely the reason for this meeting,‘ I thought.

Edward pulled his car into the underground parking lot. When I came downstairs, he got out and opened the door for me himself.

“Thanks!” I gave Edward another look–despite his usual cool and distant vibe, he really did have a gentlemanly side.
