Chapter 240
Blake wore a light-colored casual suit.
If Jessica remembered correctly, Blake had a shoot this morning as an endorser for a car brand.
โYouโll be joining a film crew tomorrow. Why arenโt you going home to make preparations?โ asked Jessica.
Blake sat across from them, glanced at Chris, then said calmly, โThereโs something I want to talk to you about.โ
โIโll leave you guys to it,โ said Chris, standing up.
Before Jessica could stop him, Blake said, โYouโre Ms. Wilderโs husband, Mr. Green, itโs okay.โ
Sam handed something to Blake and then went out the door.
โAbout Indya?โ asked Jessica.
Chris poured a cup of tea for Blake.
Blake was relaxed as he lifted the cup and nodded. โYes. You know my intentions, Ms. Wilder. I must be with the person that I like. I donโt want anyone to stand in my way. What do you think about this, Anthony?โ
Jessica never interfered in employeesโ love lives, but Indya was a friend, not just an employee.
She considered things more carefully.
โBlake, letโs be straightforward. I know you like Indya, but I canโt just hand her over to keep you stable. You should know who I am; otherwise, you wouldnโt have come to the Wilder Group, right?โ
โOf course,โ Blake continued. โIf I like someone, I will do everything I can to pursue them. I canโt force things, so Ms. Wilder can rest assured. What I want to talk about today is Indyaโs past relationships.โ
โDonโt worry. Indya has been single all these years. Only Anthony is a bit complicated.โ Jessica looked at Blake.
โSam is very talented and should have found out. Anthony was Indyaโs ex-boyfriend. They parted on relatively peaceful terms, but Anthony did cheat back then. I donโt think Indya will be back together with him.โ
Blake fell silent, seemingly pondering something.
Chris said, โAs a fellow man, I understand your feelings when you like someone. Some things canโt be rushed.โ
Blake said, โI just donโt want anyone to stand in my way.โ
They had been searching for Indya all day and indeed found her sitting with Anthony.
Last night, Indya suddenly woke up sober at two in the morning.
She was alone in the dark house and, for some unknown reason, the power was out.
She had no choice but to go out and find a hotel.
Coincidentally, the hotel she found was where the Montvue Tower project team was staying.
When she went out at noon to head to the company, she met Anthony again in the elevator.
Indya had seen the morning news.
She knew it was all company hype and wasnโt surprised or bothered by it.
She let them do whatever they wanted.
โSay what you want. We donโt need to beat around the bush,โ said Indya, her mood sour.
She hadnโt touched her coffee and only stared at the face that was becoming unfamiliar in her memory.
โAnthony, donโt try to work on me.โ
Anthony smiled. โYou havenโt changed a bit in terms of personality, but youโre much prettier than before.โ
โThanks for the compliment.โ Indya flicked her long hair. โMoney is the best beauty treatment.โ
The rich could do whatever they wanted.
โDid you see this morningโs news? The Wilder Group just signed Blake, and youโre already trying to stir up rumors with himโquite dedicated.โ
Indya knew Anthony was testing her and was annoyed, frowning.
โI canโt talk to you about work matters. If you insisted on sitting with me, itโs not just to chat about these pointless things, is it?โ
โNo, the project team will set off into the mountains the day after tomorrow. The Wilder Group will probably send a few people to accompany them. I heard Ms. Wilder will be there. Will you go too?โ
