The Wrong Woman

Jasper ended the call and returned to sit beside Imogen. Letting out a soft sigh, he glanced at her expression.

She seemed unconcerned.

Jasper didn't dwell on it. After all, it was simply a business matter.

Imogen was aware of Star Enterprise's subsidiary in film and television.

Nevertheless, she hadn't anticipated an artist under their management becoming involved with Jasper, the prominent CEO.

Imogen playfully teased, "You must be quite the busy CEO, managing Star Enterprise with its vast reach across multiple industries. It seems like you're a master multitasker, keeping an eye on every single employee!"

Jasper furrowed his brow, gazing at Imogen for a moment before catching the undertone in her words. "Imogen, I sense a hint of sarcasm in your comment."

Imogen pursed her lips, forcing a strained smile as she gazed up at the stars.

She recognized her passive-aggressive behavior. However, wasn't it often the case for women influenced by jealousy to act in this manner?
