Xavier nodded as he watched Jaylene and her colleague step out of the elevator.
Her colleague, intrigued, remarked, "Jaylene, you seem to know Ms. Hall’s assistant quite well?-Jaylene offered a polite smile but chose not to respond.
Despite Xavier's lack of flexibility and adaptability in his work, qualities that Jaylene silently disapproved of, their acquaintancewas reignited under unexpected circumstances.
When Xavier came for his job interview, Jaylene happened to be on her way to see Trevor for something and ran into Xavier,who had just finished his interview. Jaylene had forgotten about him until he took the initiative to greet her, reminding her thatthey were classmates.
For Jaylene, memories from elementary school weren't particularly pleasant, so when Xavier brought it up, she responded with alukewarm reception.
To her surprise, Xavier proved to be competent. Trevor, known for his exacting standards, had gone through numerousassistants without finding one to his liking, yet he selected Xavier to work for him.novelbin
Jaylene was the type who didn't bother maintaining relationships with people she wasn't close to, and Xavier fell into thatcategory. However, Darcie always encouraged her to keep in touch with Xavier, citing their shared history as classmates andsuggesting they could support each other.
This advice gained significance when Jaylene learned from Xavier about Stella's paternity test.
Initially, Jaylene couldn't see how Xavier could be of any use to her, especially before Stella arrived at Caline. She viewed him asrather pointless. But now, Darcie's caution didn't seem entirely unfounded.
Handing her boba tea to a colleague, Jaylene said, "Julia, you can have this. NJulia Harper was taken aback. "But he bought it for you, aren't you going to drink it?"Jaylene replied with a smile, "I've been on a diet recently, and this is too high in calories for me."
‘At five feet five tall and only ninety pounds, it was hard to imagine why she thought of losing weight.’ Julia internally criticized,but still thanked Jaylene and took the drink.
"By the way, could you let our department colleagues know to return promptly after lunch? | have something to discuss," Jayleneadded.
Julia was surprised. ‘Jaylene is just a team leader in one of the Perfume Blending Department's teams. It seems odd for a teamleader to summon everyone like this."
But Julia didn't dare object, knowing Jaylene was Darcie's daughter and too important to offend. So, she gently suggested,"Jaylene, if it's work- related, maybe Ms. Abbott could handle it. She's been here longer and knows everyone well, so she'sbetter at scheduling.”
Jaylene replied, "It's not work-related. Just let them know as soon as you can."
With that, Jaylene made her way back to her office.
Julia was genuinely perplexed. ‘Was it even her responsibility to notify people about personal matters?’
After some consideration, Julia decided to inform Aubrey about the situation. Aubrey instructed Julia to keep a close watch onJaylene, as any trouble was likely to involve her.
Meanwhile, Jaylene had just settled into her office when her phone rang." Is this Miss Jaylene Saun?""Yes, speaking,” Jaylene replied.
"Your flowers have arrived. Please come downstairs to collect them," the caller informed her.
