The Day His Demands Broke My Water novel Chapter 53

Since the last incident, Jeremy hadn’t shown up for quite some time. Then again, it might have been because I’d been too busy to leave the office lately.

I had been pouring all my energy into designing a new product, and thankfully, the final result pleased Jake Raphael.

One day, Jake called me into his office and pushed his computer toward me.

"This client from China wants to purchase the copyright to your design. He said your work really resonated with him. What do you think?"

Jake’s gaze was sincere, seeking my input, and something inside me stirred.

He was the boss of the company and could easily have made the decision on his own, yet he chose to consult me.

"If you’re not comfortable with this, I can reject the offer immediately. Don’t feel pressured; I’ll respect your decision entirely," he added when I hesitated for a moment, misunderstanding my pause.

"It’s not that," I clarified. "Could you arrange a meeting with this client for me? I’d like to talk to someone who feels connected to my work."

Jake nodded without hesitation. "Of course."

Soon after, I met with the client at a nearby café. They had arrived before me.

"Vera! It really is you!"

I froze at the familiar voice and turned to see Jeremy, his face lit up with joy as he blocked my way.

Annoyed, I tried to step around him.
