Alisha saw Joseph Thompson walking straight towards their reserved seat and immediately opened her mouth in an 'O' shape, whispering in Jaylene's ear, "Is he the one you're looking for?"
Jaylene, slightly embarrassed, responded with a forced smile, "Yeah, he's my new boyfriend."
Rowan glanced to the side and saw a man in elegant attire with unparalleled beauty standing next to Jaylene, grinning charmingly.
Rowan felt tremendous pressure as he realized he was no match for such a formidable opponent, being merely a wealthy upstart profiting from others.
Joseph stood near the dining table, smiled at Rowan and Alisha, and then sat down opposite Jaylene, inadvertently crushing Rowan on the beach.
Joseph looked at Jaylene expressionlessly and said, "You called me when I was shopping at the mall. You really know how to pick a bad time for a call, and you're so pushy about it too."
