Brook's fingers drummed against the table, his carefully maintained composure beginning to crack. "Wouldn't you be?" he demanded. "Corrie's threatening my girlfriend. How am I supposed to stay calm?" A knowing chuckle escaped Jayden's lips. “Don't worry, I'll handle it tomorrow." "Good," Brook nodded curtly. "The sooner, the better. I'll be waiting to hear from you." "Rest easy," Jayden assured him, a confident smile playing across his face. "I'll bring you news worth celebrating." As morning light filtered through the windows the next day, Jayden and Elyse made their unexpected appearance at Jordy's doorstep.
The surprise was evident on Jordy's face as he took in the sight of Jayden, whom he hadn't seen in ages, and Elyse, a stranger to his memory. Despite his obvious shock, Jordy managed a warm, welcoming smile. "What brings you by unannounced? Zoe's out shopping with friends. Won't be back until evening." Jayden's eyebrows arched playfully. "Are you suggesting this isn't a good tfor a visit?" "No, no, nothing like that!" Jordy quickly shook his head. "You're always welchere. It's been far too long since I've seen you. Please, cin and let's chat properly." Jayden's lips curved into a knowing smile. "I'm glad to hear that. We were concerned we might be interrupting something... important." "At my age, having company is a blessing," Jordy laughed awkwardly, his discomfort barely concealed. "Nothing could be more important than your visit." Jayden remained silent, his smile never wavering. Everything was going according to plan. He had deliberately timed their arrival exactly thirty minutes after Corrie had entered the house.
In the tranquil yard, Jordy strategically positioned Elyse and Jayden before turning to his butler with hushed urgency. "Find Corrie and make sure she slips out through the back door." The meaning behind Jordy's words crystallized instantly in the butler's mind.
"Consider it done, Sir." Without missing a beat, the butler set off to locate Corrie. He found her lounging in Jordy's study, her attire leaving little to the imagination—a clear attempt to catch Jordy's eye.

Thad ticked away, and her patience had worn thin. When the butler appeared, frustration flashed across her face.
"What brings you here?" she demanded, clutching a coat around her shoulders as she stood by the doorway. "Where's Jordy?"
Maintaining his professional composure, the butler replied, "He is om currently occupied with distinguished guests. He regrettably cannot meet Here with you at present and requests that you take your leave." He added delicately, "If you would be so kind as to use the back entrance."
