Lost Me Gained Regret

Chapter 487

I nodded, "Yeah."

"I got it."

Gregory's voice paused slightly, tinged with a smile, he teased, "Should I come pick you up?"

I was still a bit upset, but hearing this, my mood lightened, and I said, "No need, I drove here. But, I have to check with Chris first, might need to stop by the shop before meeting you."

No sooner had I finished speaking, Christine's call came through, and I quickly told Gregory, "Hang on, gotta take Chris's call."

As soon as I answered, Christine's voice was bright, "Jane, on your way yet?"

I smiled, "Just about to head out."

She teased playfully, "Why don't you head back up, spend a little more time cuddling with your man?"

I chuckled, "What's up?"

Christine sighed, "The newly arrived decoration company did not perform well, I've rescheduled with another company. You'd be bored waiting here." "Alright."

I replied crisply, "So... thanks for handling it?"

"Thanks for what? My salary and shares are the envy of many."

Christine laughed, then suddenly realized something, "Jane! Don't tell me you were planning to come later all along?"

I started the car, coughed lightly, "A true friend sees the first tear, catches the second, and stops the third."

"Bullcrap!"

Christine feigned anger, "You're all about your man now, of course, I have to call you out."Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

I laughed, "Come on, it's the honeymoon phase. Cut me some slack?"

"Fine, fine!"

Christine dramatically sighed, "It's rough being single!"

She and Steven hadn't been apart long when we started Janedream together.

In the early years, as the company was finding its footing, she was stretched thin, busy as a bee.

There was no time or energy left for dating.

This year, with the business booming and expanding, she finally caught a break but still showed no interest in dating.

I hesitated, then ventured, "Have you met anyone these past years who piqued your interest?"

"Why do you ask all of a sudden?"

She hesitated, then laughed, "You don't think I'm still hung up on Steven, do you?"

Hearing her relax, I breathed a sigh of relief, "I sort of did."

"You think I'm like you, needing my heart broken so many times before I give up."

Christine spoke lightly, "Jane, we're different. I was born heartless. The moment I said goodbye to him, I moved on.

So, for me, that chapter was closed ages ago. I'm single now simply because I haven't met someone as great as your Gregory."

"I don't buy it."

I glanced at the traffic light, adding, "I just don't buy the first part."

Christine chuckled, "Well, of course, except for you."

"Ugh."

Her teasing made me laugh too, "Enough grossing me out, I'm driving."

Knowing she wasn't hung up on Steven anymore, I felt at ease.

After all, a married man wasn't worth her time.

Dailey swore he wasn't eavesdropping on purpose.

It was Clarence who, hearing Christine was coming to the shop today, had dragged him along to check it out.

After hanging up, Christine turned around and saw Dailey.

Unlike Dailey's awkwardness from overhearing a conversation, she showed no embarrassment at her privacy being intruded, her lips curving into a smile, "Mr. Pool, checking on your empire?" Content

Christine found out on the day of signing the contract that this mall was part of Dailey's family assets. That day, Clarence was just flaunting his closeness to Dailey, trying to intimidate on Gregory's behalf. But Dailey just stood by without a word, leaving Christine with a... rather neutral impression of him.
