Chapter 14


    She approached his closet, running her fingers over a neat row of hanging shirts. Inadvertently, she


    lifted one to her nose and sniffed, catching a hint of Jaydon’s unique scent on it. It brought her a mix


    of satisfaction and pain.


    “What are you doing?” A cold voice interrupted her thoughts.


    “Nothing.” she calmly replied, dropping the shirt sleeve. But inside, she felt guilty, as if she had done


    something


    wrong.


    Jaydon raised an eyebrow, walked in, and pinched her chin. “Alita, were you enjoying your time with


    your crush just now? Too bad he’s with Annabel now. Heartbroken and wanna cry, huh?” The


    incident at the dining table fueled Jaydon’s anger, making him want to crush her jaw.

    Alita wanted to tell him she didn’t care about Kim anymore. But why bother? At least now, it could


    make him mad and give her a sense of revenge. At least when he cared about Cecilia, he could


    realize Alita wasn’t just a helpless, abandoned woman.


    “My heart is breaking, Jaydon. What should I do?” Alita put on a sad expression, clutching her


    chest, appearing delicate and vulnerable. Feeling sad for another man in front of Jaydon made her


    feel a twisted sense of


    satisfaction.


    Jaydon erupted in anger, gripping her throat. “What did you say? Dare to say it again.”


    “Yeah, my heart is almost breaking for him,” Alita repeated, looking at his furious eyes. Despite her


    throat feeling almost crushed, she was happy to get under his skin.


    “Impressive.” Jaydon looked at her for a moment, then suddenly released her. In an instant, his


    arger subsided,” and he stepped aside, smiling at her. Compared to the furious figure a moment


    ago, he now seemed like a


    Alita was most afraid of seeing Jaydon like this; she couldn’t read his mind at all.


    That night, Jaydon left and didn’te back.


    For several days, Jaydon didn’t return home. With nothing to do, Alita spent every morning in the


    courtyard, sitting for hours. The lived a routine of eating and sleeping, a kind of life she hadn’t had


    in a long time.


    “How’s their rtionshiptely?” Mike asked casually after taking his medicine.


    “Mr. Jaydon hasn’t been back for many days, and Alita just stays at home doing nothing, not


    bothering to find Mr. Jaydon either,” the butler answered truthfully.


    “This won’t do.” Mike sighed worriedly. After some thought, he said, “Go fetch Alita for me.”


    “Yes, Sir. I’ll go now.”


    The butler found Alita in the garden and brought her to Mike’s room.


    “Mike, is there something you need from me?” Alita stood respectfully by the bedside.


    Mike smiled kindly at her. “Alita, I see you’re bored at home. How about working at thepany?


    With your abilities, you can surely assist Jaydon well.”


    “I’ll follow your arrangement,” Alita replied calmly. She knew Mike wanted to create an opportunity


    for them, and she had to go along with it.


    “Good, report to thepany tomorrow. I’ll arrange your position.” Mike nodded happily.


    The next day, Alita went to thepany. She knew Mike would ce her where she could interact


    with Jaydon every day, but she didn’t anticipate bing his chief assistant.


    She stood in front of his desk, and Jaydon wore a sinister smile, looking like he could tear her into


    pieces.
