Chapter 194

Immediately, she approached and steadied his arm.

Jason instinctively pulled his arm away and looked over at Drew, who immediately shot him an innocent look, signaling that he hadn’t been the one to tell Holly. Drew was clueless as to why Holly was even there.

Seeing their exchange, Holly chuckled, “Don’t be mad at Drew. It wasn’t him who told me. A friend mentioned seeing you around, so I decided to come over.” She then offered, “Let me drive you home.” Without waiting for a response, Holly helped Jason into the car.

The vehicle started up, and Holly, gripping the steering wheel, turned to Jason and asked softly, “Feeling down?”

Over the past few years, Nelson International had been thriving, and Jason had earned the title of Outstanding Young Professional several times. Everyone was aware of his capabilities; he shouldn’t be in this state.

At Holly’s question, Jason glanced at her and said flatly, “Estrella’s back.”

Hearing this, Holly’s grip on the wheel faltered for a moment. That explained it. She had come to pick him up, and he had agreed without hesitation, all because he wanted to tell her Estrella was back.

After a moment of reflection, Holly smiled and said, “Estrella’s back, huh? Then why aren’t you happy?”

Jason remained silent. He had been happy at first, but Estrella’s behavior earlier had dashed any joy he might have felt.

The rest of the drive passed in silence. Holly dropped Jason off at Sandalwood Oasis without another word exchanged. He didn’t speak again until he was safely inside his home. Watching Jason disappear into the house, Holly suddenly felt a sense of loss, as if the little that she had managed to hold on to was no longer hers.
