Chapter 341

James’s face stiffened as he quickly snatched the napkin and wiped at his mouth in a flustered mess. He said, “Who even likes this stuff, anyway?”

“Left side,” Jackson said coldly, giving him a frosty glance.

James awkwardly switched to wipe the other side of his mouth. He then looked at Victor and Zinnia. He asked, “Did I get it all?”

“Yes,” Zinnia replied as she nodded.

Victor also nodded.

“Fine, if you don’t like them, I’ll stop having them delivered,” Jackson said coolly as he took a seat beside Zinnia.

James shot a glare at Yannis and quickly said, “Keep sending them then. Otherwise, what’s Zinnia supposed to snack on when she comes over?”

“Why not just have someone buy fresh snacks when Zinnia visits? By the time she gets here, whatever’s in the pantry might as well have expired,” Yannis said as he opened a bag of chips for Zinnia.

His long lashes cast shadows as he looked down, his veined hand deftly handling the packaging.

James shot back, “Nothing anyone else buys could ever match what you have delivered to her taste. And if they expire, just order more.”

“Broke,” Jackson said.

Zinnia sat off to the side, watching their exchange, and inexplicably sensed a subtle tension in the air.

James was fuming, while Jackson remained perfectly composed. Even as James glared daggers at Yannis from across the table, Yannis kept feeding Zinnia chips, unruffled and calm.

James’s hawk–like eyes flashed sharply as he said, “If you need money, you should just ask me directly. Victor, send him the money. Otherwise, people might think I’m mistreating him.”

Victor pulled out his phone, thinking, ‘Mr. Perkins finally got the chance to give Yannis some money. I guess I should keep Devin and Layla informed about Yannis’s shortage of money, too. They will also be happy to offer help!’
