Unmasking Mrs. Newton's Secret Identities novel Chapter 1677

"Sorry," Jenson said, a mix of laughter and embarrassment in his voice. "I really don't have any experience with this."

"Well, just count me as unlucky," Angelica replied, frustration creeping into her tone as she shot him an exasperated glare. "Honestly, with your intelligence, you don't deserve someone as gorgeous as Germaine."

"Yes, yes, you're absolutely right," Jenson said, trying to placate her. "I know my limits, which is exactly why I brought you along. After all these years as classmates, could you really stand by and watch me end up alone?"

"Enough with the flattery! Just turn and see if she's looking over here!" she urged, clearly annoyed.

"Alright, alright."

Jenson adjusted his position, hoping to catch a glimpse. All he saw was Germaine sitting in her office, focused on a serious phone call.

He stared at her for several seconds, but she didn't seem to notice them at all.

"How's it going?" Angelica asked, her impatience rising.

"Not great," Jenson replied with a frown. "Germaine hasn't even glanced our way. Do you think she hasn't noticed that I brought you back?"

"That's impossible," she insisted, convinced of her assessment. "We're such an obvious sight. She can't be blind; there's no way she didn't see us!"

"Looks like she really doesn't care, huh?" Jenson's expression darkened, disappointment settling in.

Angelica paused, reconsidering her earlier confidence. After a moment, she climbed off his lap. "Come on, let's walk right in front of her. I refuse to believe she won't react!"

She straightened her outfit, striking a sultry pose before confidently taking Jenson's hand and wrapping it around her waist. With a bold stride, she leaned into him as they made their way outside together.

As they passed Germaine's office, they deliberately slowed down, making sure to catch her eye.

To their surprise, Germaine merely nodded, barely acknowledging them. She then turned back to her phone call, completely unfazed.

Jenson felt a wave of disappointment wash over him, but he forced himself to keep walking, arm around Angelica.

Just as he was about to step outside, his phone buzzed with a familiar notification. He glanced at the screen and saw a message from Germaine.

"So, was that woman your crush?"

A smile broke across Jenson's face. Gripping his phone tightly, he shouted with excitement, "Yes!"

"What's happening?" Angelica asked, her urgency exceeding his. "Say something!"

Jenson eagerly turned the phone screen toward her. "Germaine just messaged me!"

"Really? Let me see!" She snatched the phone from his hands, a teasing grin forming on her face. "Looks like the fish had caught the bait!"

"Hey, give it back! I haven't replied yet!" Jenson urged, reaching for it.

Angelica spread her arms wide, skillfully dodging him. "What's the rush? You know what they say—haste makes waste!"
