After the CEO Divorced Me, He Wants Me Back (Aveline and Lucas) novel Chapter 1071

Jolie felt a sudden tightness in her chest.

She glanced at the group of girls nearby. They looked anxious and uneasy but still glanced at Gavin with curiosity and anticipation.

She scoffed silently. “What’s so special about him anyway?”

“You all can head back now.”

Disappointment flashed across their faces in varying degrees as they turned and left.

Once they were gone, Jolie turned to Gavin. “Mr. Cooper, I think it would be better if you gave me a clear set of criteria. Searching blindly like this is unlikely to meet your expectations.”

“You don’t need to go through all that trouble,” Gavin replied, extinguishing his cigarette in the ashtray. His gaze remained calm as it settled on her.

Jolie seemed to anticipate what he was about to say and quickly added, “I don’t find it troublesome. Just tell me your requirements.”

Gavin said nothing, his eyes heavy as they lingered on her.

Here we go again,” she thought.

That familiar oppressive aura washed over her.

She wasn’t his subordinate, so why did he always look at her like that?

How frustrating!

Under the weight of his gaze, Jolie forced a smile.

“Come here,” Gavin suddenly said.

There was still a table between them, and Jolie was standing quite a distance away.

Instead of moving closer, she maintained her smile and replied, “If you have instructions, Mr. Cooper, feel free to say them. I can hear you just fine.”

Gavin parted his lips and said something.

Instinctively, Jolie asked, “What?”

Gavin didn’t repeat himself, simply fixing her with a look that seemed to say, “Didn’t you say you could hear me?”

Jolie was speechless.

It took her a moment to realize his intention, and she couldn’t help but think how utterly childish and ridiculous this man was.

But she owed him a favor, and there was no getting around that.
