Jemma rushed over and politely opened the car door for Jarrod. Mr. Schultz, you came so quickly
A pair of polished leather shoes hit the ground, and a tall, handsome man stepped out swiftly, his eyes not even glancing at Jemma.
He walked straight ahead.
Jemma got no response, but she stayed calm and unbothered. Anyway, Jarrod was here, and that was all that mattered.
But Alec, who followed behind, gave Jemma a knowing look and said, Jemma, I didnt know you cared so much about your staff. Is Nicole the special one?
The question was a trap, and Jemmas face tightened. She replied coolly, Alec, dont be ridiculous. Im just looking out for Mr. Schultzs family. Socialites cant risk scandals.
She added in a low voice, With all the inspections lately, if it were anyone else, Id handle it. But Miss Doreen Schultz and Miss Vicki Hampton are Mr. Schultzs family, so I need his input, right?
Jemmas explanation was solid, but Alec wasnt buying it. Hed been in the business and entertainment world long enough to know better.
These nightclub managers only cared about money. Money could buy anything, and they wouldnt stick their necks out for a bargirl without a good reason. Moreover, they wouldnt risk upsetting VIPs over a bargirl.

That kind of danger came from deep within, and Alec could go from laughing with you to snapping your neck in a heartbeat. It was really scary.
Jemma smiled playfully and said, Alec, you always joke around. Im known for being honest and straightforward. I wouldnt dare have any sneaky plans. Plus, Im all alone. Who would I be ambitious for? I dont need to worry about food or clothes, you know?
Jemmas words were well-chosen. Firstly, she was saying she had no one supporting her and wouldnt scheme much. Secondly, she was saying she was alone and had nothing to lose, so she wasnt scared of Alecs threats.
It was up to the listener to take it how they sounded.
Alec smiled and said, You better mean that. Otherwise. .
He looked dark and scary, announcing, I can dig up whatever dirt I could get.
After saying that, Alec quickly caught up with Jarrod ahead.
Jemma angrily stomped her foot and muttered, You jerk, threatening to dig up my dirt? Youll get whats coming to you!
At this point, Jarrod had rushed to the chamber, kicked open the door, and saw a complete mess.
