Return, My Love: Wooing the Neglected Ex-Wife

Chapter 668:

“And you just took his word for it?” Jett’s tone was sharp, his jealousy undeniable.

Unfamiliar with the turmoil of relationships, Fannie felt overwhelmed.

“Jett, please don’t do this. I don’t have any feelings for Bobby now. The circumstances were beyond my control. If you keep obsessing over him, where does that leave us?”

Her plea lingered in the air, but just then, a sardonic whistle cut through the tension.

Turning towards the sound, Fannie’s eyes locked on Bobby. Casual yet imposing, he stood with his hands in his pockets, flanked by a group of influential figures from the industry, including several notable directors and producers.

“Caught in a squabble, huh?” Bobby said with a smirk, his eyes gleaming as they shifted to Jett. “Mr. Lee, as a gentleman, you should show a bit more grace.” He thumped his chest twice, symbolizing his own broad-mindedness, clearly implying that he was the bigger man in comparison to Jett.

Jett, on the other hand, fixed Bobby with a piercing stare, his presence darkening, as though it could swallow Bobby whole. But Bobby seemed utterly unfazed by the intensity.

“Fifi, Director White is looking to cast some new talent. Why don’t you come help coordinate?” Bobby called out, his voice carrying an edge.

Trapped between Bobby and Jett, Fannie refused to walk over to him. She replied coldly, “Why don’t you find yourself another agent?”

Bobby clicked his tongue in disapproval, clearly enjoying the drama unfolding.

“Alright then. Seems like personal dramas trump professional duties. Sort it out and look me up when you’re ready to talk shop.”noveldrama

Fannie’s temper flared, but she contained her rage. Just then, a throng of people began crowding into the elevator. Jett, his jaw clenched in frustration, stormed off without another word.

“Jett!” Fannie hurried after him, her voice desperate. “I won’t meet with him, I promise.”

Jett gestured bitterly towards the elevator. “Can you honestly tell me he didn’t show up because of you?”

“What do you expect me to do then?” Fannie’s voice cracked. The strain of being ridiculed by Bobby in front of industry leaders for being overly emotional and unprofessional was wearing her down. Her personal life was in shambles too. Ever since Bobby had reentered her life, it had been one disaster after another.

Jett’s hands tightened on Fannie’s shoulders.

“Fifi, would you give up your job for me?”

Fannie flinched under his grip. The pain was sharp, but she dared not voice it.

“Jett, just trust me this one time. Let me handle Bobby on my own, will you?”

“Forget it.” Jett sighed sharply, his disappointment palpable as he let go. “I guess you were never that into me after all.”

Fannie stood there, momentarily dumbstruck. Perhaps Jett had a point. She watched as he walked away, and this time, she made no move to follow him.

Before she ventured upstairs, Fannie took a moment to figure out which floor Bobby had retreated to. Discovering he was headed to meet the big boss, she strategically decided to steer clear of his path.
