Chapter 125 Old Flames 1/2 Chapter 125 Old Flames "Alright," Daniel responded, his tone somewhat noncommittal, which prompted Jessica to give him a light tap with her cup.

"What's with that attitude? Do you still have feelings for her? Are you thinking about rekindling your old flame?" Caught off guard by her line of questioning, Daniel replied, "There was never any old flto begin with. That's just impossible." "So, you want to have an old flwith her, huh? I'll knock ssense into you!" After lightly hitting Daniel a couple more times to punctuate her point, Jessica, still irritated, laid out her plans for the afternoon.

"We have a meeting at the company later. You'll drivethere, and then you have to stay in the office.

You're not allowed to go anywhere else!" "You're restricting my freedom?" "Do you have a problem with that?" "Didn't we agree that I don't need to stay at the company all the time?” "No, we did not." Daniel remained silent at her firm response.

At eight in the evening, Daniel accompanied Jessica to King's. Brittany had already arrived much earlier. Once inside the Unusual Stones Exhibition venue, Jessica began networking with other business leaders, leaving Daniel to his own devices.

Hungry from skipping dinner, Daniel headed to the buffet area. He grabbed a plate and helped himself to at large lobster and a crab, breaking into the lobster with gusto.

Brittany approached, her high heels clicking on the floor.

"I was wondering where that neatly dressed hobo cfrom. Turns out it's you. Are those rented clothes? "It's none of your business." "I'm just kindly reminding you that if you stain rented clothes, you have to pay full price when returning them. Also, you're representing The Matthews Organization here; your behavior reflects on the company. You're holding a lobster in one hand and a crab in the other, eating like you've never seen food before. Don't you have any shame?" "These things are here for eating, right? Besides, you're not my wife. What does my reputation have to do with you? Even if it takes a hit, that's my problem, not yours! Don't disturb my appetite with your nagging." Brittany, fuming, stamped her foot in frustration.

2/2 That's when Jessica cover. Seeing an opportunity to make a point, Brittany quickly appealed to her. "Jessica, look!" She gestured towards Daniel, suggesting Jessica take a good look at how this "country boy" was tamishing The Matthews Organization's image.

"I see him. Daniel looks great today, very handsin that outfit!" Jessica's response took Brittany by surprise.

"Like that? Handsome? Look at what he's wearing it's a total mismatch.

Only someone with with poor taste would put together that kind of outfit. But I 上 guess it makes sense, seeing as he's a country bumpkin. His fashion sense is right in line with that kind of aesthetic!” Brittany assumed the clothes on Daniel were something he had rented himself and didn't hold back while

ridiculing his choice of attire.

Hearing Brittany's critique, Daniel maintained his smile without yttering a word, but Jessica's expression turned stormy as she icily interrupted. "The outfit Daniel's wearing? I picked it out for him."
