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.
