He Never Noticed Me Until I Loved Someone Else novel Chapter 107
Stella instinctively turned her head at the sound.
It was Jarrod.
He stood in the doorway, back-lit by the hall lights. Dressed in a sharply tailored dark gray suit, the air around him felt suffocatingly dense. His gaze was glacial as it swept over Mr. Wallace.
Mr. Wallace glanced at Jarrod. Noting his imposing presence and sophisticated demeanor, he guessed this man might be a higher-ranking executive.
If there were only two or three people around, Mr. Wallace might have hesitated to escalate things. But with dozens of eyes watching from inside and outside the room, backing down would completely humiliate him.
Besides, he was the client!
No matter what kind of boss this guy was, he still had to show him respect!
Throwing his chest out, Mr. Wallace said irritably, “And who are you? Is it your place to speak here?”
Jarrod ignored him entirely, striding straight into the conference room.
The moment Chloe saw Jarrod, her eyes lit up, and she immediately prepared to explain the situation. But Jarrod walked straight past her to Stella, his voice unreadable as he asked, “Are you alright?”
Chloe’s eyes darkened slightly, but she bit her tongue and remained silent.
Meanwhile, the entire Mythos Online team looked on in absolute shock.
After all, everyone believed Chloe was the love of Jarrod’s life. The first thing he should have done upon entering was check on Chloe, not ask about Stella!
And that icy, “Are you out of your mind?” directed at Mr. Wallace—was he defending Stella?!
Stella naturally felt the weight of the scrutiny from everyone around her. She had no idea why Jarrod was asking about her well-being in front of such a crowd.
