Chapter 392:
Jenessa addressed them calmly yet firmly, “It’s okay to gossip now and then, but I would advise against making bets. You might end up losing more than you expect p>
Caught off guard by their own gossip, the designers quickly apologized.
“Sorry p>
“I’m sorry p>
“We won’t do it again,” they said in unison, their faces a mix of apology and nervousness. Jenessa couldn’t help but laugh.
“That’s okay. Feel free to chat about whatever you like during break time,” she said with a warm smile.
Since the studio’s inception, everyone had come to understand that while Jenessa was strict about her work, she was laid-back personally. This understanding helped everyone relax after seeing that she wasn’t upset.
Yet, emboldened by her easygoing demeanor, a young, fearless assistant dared to ask, “Are you really seeing someone p>
As the question hung in the air, the other staff members watched with a mix of admiration and concern, thinking to themselves that the assistant had been too bold.
Jenessa, holding her coffee, took a sip before answering plainly.
The assistant, still not quite satisfied, pressed further.

Jenessa shook her head, dismissing the notion.
“No, it was just a friend who offered me a ride because he was in the area p>

Though she was somewhat reluctant, Jenessa had agreed, deciding not to have any significant expectations until their unresolved issues were addressed.
The group, now less excited by the mundane reality, murmured among themselves, “It’s just a friend; how disappointing p>
Jenessa turned and walked back to her office, leaving the group staring after her, still slightly in shock at her straightforwardness.
“She is so beautiful,” someone murmured, unable to contain their admiration.
“Yeah, she really is,” another quickly agreed.
After some contemplation, the group collectively concluded that no ordinary man could be worthy of someone as exceptional as Jenessa. They decided to simply wait and see what unfolded.
Meanwhile, Ryan was at his company, handling his usual business affairs.
In the midst of his work, Rohan entered the office with a knock, his expression marked by concern.
“Mr. Haynes, Miss Powell is here,” he announced.
At the mention of her name, Ryan’s head shot up, his brow furrowing. Why was Maisie here? Hadn’t he explicitly told her to stay at the villa?
Ryan paused for a moment, then nodded, allowing Maisie to enter.
Maisie stepped inside cautiously, holding a tumbler, her voice soft and her smile warm.
“Ryan, I heard you overdid it with the drinks last night, so I made some hangover remedy for you. Please have a taste. It should help you feel better p>
