A Rose 319


    Nancy cozied up to Yvette for a little bit. Then, Nancy suddenly remembered something.


    Nancy asked awkwardly, “Yvie, what has Jacob been up totely?”


    Yvette knew what was on Nancy’s mind. She smiled and said, “There were some issues in the


    company abroad. Jacob went back a few days ago, and he just returned today. He went straight to


    work at headquarters.”


    “Jacob is so busy! He must not be getting enough rest and is tired by


    now…”


    “Yeah,” Yvette said. “Jacob’s really tired. Do you want to visit him with me, Nancy?”


    “Yes!” Nancy excitedly nodded her head. Then, she realized she was


    overreacting.


    Nancy lightly coughed and said coyly, “Don’t misunderstand, Yvie. don’t really want to go, I’m just


    apanying you. Otherwise, you’d be so bored by yourself!”


    Yvette decided not to expose Nancy. Instead, she sent Jake a text


    message.


    “Do me a favor and go to Crown Bakehouse,” she wrote.


    Crown Bakehouse was a long–time bakery in Jubilife known to make delicious pastries. It was


    popr among the noble and rich families. However, they only sold pastries in limited quantities


    every day, making it difficult to buy their pastries.


    Jake swiftly replied, “Yes, boss!”


    Yvette added, “Two boxes.”


    “Boss, why two boxes? You can’t possibly be buying one for Wilson Quinn, right?”


    Yvette casually replied, “Yeah.”


    Immediately after Yvette sent that text, Jake called her.

    “Boss, you’re really giving that Wilson Quinn a lot of attention. You can’t possibly…”


    Hearing Jake’s trembling voice as he trailed off, Yvette icily


    interrupted him, “Shut up. If you talk any more, I’m going to block your


    number.”


    If Jake learned that Yvette was dating Wilson, he would tell everyone. in the Dark Organization.


    Yvette thought it was too early for them to find out about her updated rtionship status.


    They would alle to Jubilife just to find trouble with Wilson if word got out. At the thought of that,


    Yvette was starting to get a headache.


    Intimidated, Jake went silent. Then, he said sadly, “Fine. I’ll stop, boss. I’ll pick you up from Jubilife


    University after I buy the pastries.


    Yvette nodded and said, “Okay.”


    20 minutester, the pair arrived at Murray Corporation.


    “I’m sorry, you cannot enter without an appointment.”


    Yvette didn’t want to make things difficult for the receptionist. Just as she was about to call Jacob,


    the receptionist stared at her in


    surprise.


    Wide–eyed from excitement, the receptionist asked, “Are you… Are you Mr. Murray’s little sister?”


    Then, the receptionist hurriedly tapped on a photograph on her phone andpared it to Yvette’s


    face. Not only did Yvette look exactly like


    the person in the photograph, but Yvette actually looked even prettier


    in person!


    The receptionist urged, “Pleasee in, Ms. Murray. I’m so sorry for not recognizing you


    immediately!”


    Everyone in thepany knew that Jacob doted on his little sister. Not only was his office filled with


    photographs of Yvette, but he also had photographs of Yvette on his phone’s lock screen.


    Every time somebody mentioned Yvette, Jacob’s facial expression would be gentle. He would


    be more easygoing, too.
