The Years Between Signing and Seeing novel Chapter 505

As she spoke, she felt like she was spouting nonsense, so she abruptly shifted gears. "I'm suffocating holding this in, so I'll just be blunt. I know you saved me because of Suzie, but... if you're thinking of using me to help you win her over, I can't do it. As for the DC General Manager role, I won't accept it, and I'm also afraid you..."

Stella trailed off as she saw Jamie raise his hand, signaling her to stop.

She froze, swallowing the rest of her words.

The air remained still for a moment before Jamie finally spoke.

"I've said before that whatever happens between Suzie and me has nothing to do with anyone else. You're a smart person. You should understand what I'm saying."

Stella fell silent. She understood perfectly.

Not only was the man chiding her for being nosy in the past, but he was also warning her to never interfere in his and Suzie's relationship again.

However, the fact that he wasn't going to use such a massive life-saving favor to force her into helping him win back Suzie was something she never expected.

If everything hadn't happened so fast, she might have assumed Jamie would grandstand to Suzie, telling her he could save Stella, and then forcing Suzie to get back together with him as a condition.

Or, he would have run straight to Suzie to claim credit the moment he got Stella out.

She had completely underestimated the man...

After a long pause, Stella nodded in compromise.

On one hand, she believed Suzie had been through enough to know how to navigate her own path to happiness and choose the right man.

On the other hand, she viewed this concession as a way to repay Jamie for saving her.

A moment later, just as Stella stood up to leave, Jamie's voice sounded again.

Stella frowned. "But I didn't agree to his offer just now."

Aaron shoved the folder into her hands and turned back toward the building, tossing a final sentence over his shoulder. "He said you will."

Stella stood on the sidewalk for a long time before finally getting into her car and driving away from the Baylor Group.

She had told Jamie she would give him an answer by tomorrow night. Regarding the rescue, she had no intention of telling Suzie about it.

However, as for taking the job at DC Entertainment, she personally wanted it, but she needed to hear Suzie's thoughts first.

She called Suzie to make sure she was home, then drove over to her place.

When she walked in, Suzie pulled out a pair of slippers for her and said with deep concern, "Look at you. You suffered for days locked up in there, and instead of resting, you ran straight to your company first thing in the morning to resign. You really worry me."
