Chapter: 1166

She recalled advising him against buying flowers for the directors and even pointed out that her own bouquet had come from a female colleague.

Oh no, why had she said that? What if Jonathan simply intended to appreciate the directors? Her comments might have come off as presumptuous.

Jonathan never said he was giving flowers to all the directors because of her, nor had he shown any jealousy.

Why had she felt compelled to explain? And it seemed she had inadvertently exposed Brody.

Bethany slapped her forehead and groaned.

Was her brain fogged from too much work lately? Her mouth seemed to run on its own, spilling thoughts without a filter.

After she finished washing up, she picked up her now-powered phone, hesitating over whether to clarify things with Jonathan.

But...

What could she possibly say?

How could she rectify this?

Bethany's primary concern was that Jonathan might reprimand Brody, especially since Brody had relayed information at her behest.

If Brody faced repercussions because of her indiscretion, the guilt would be unbearable.

After a few minutes of internal debate, she decided to call Jonathan to sense his mood before taking any further steps.

At this hour, he was likely with the children, which meant she wouldn't be interrupting his rest.

As the phone rang, Bethany's heart raced with each tone, eager for Jonathan to pick up and alleviate her anxiety.

But he didn't answer. He must be occupied.

A wave of exhaustion washed over Bethany, and she felt a strong urge to collapse back onto her bed.

Then, the next moment, Jonathan returned her call.

"Looking for me?"

It seemed he always opened with that line.

“Last night... I called you, didn't I? I can't remember what I said."

"I called you. You mentioned not wanting flowers, that your bouquet was from a female colleague, and that Brody had informed you of that."

Perfect!

Jonathan summarized the conversation precisely.
