Now They Want My Forgiveness - Chapter 303: Chapter 303

Since things went even smoother than they'd expected, the afternoon was pretty much free, though Stella still needed to get in touch with a few other suppliers.
Kevin had planned to take her out for a walk, but when he saw she was still busy with work, he didn't come to interrupt her. But he wasn't idle. He tapped into all his connections, offering Stella every bit of help he could.
Just as it was almost time to get out of work, Stella's phone rang—it was Jordan calling, and Stella answered.
At that moment, Kevin came over to ask Stella if they were ready to go to dinner and meet some of the other suppliers. When Kevin called out to her, Jordan overheard it.
"You didn't tell me the man with you was Kevin," Jordan said.
Stella couldn't help but laugh at how jealous Jordan sounded. "How did you pick up Kevin's voice so fast?"
"Guys are always sensitive to their love rivals. Even if I've only seen him once, I can recognize him right away."
Kevin walked over and saw Stella on the phone with Jordan, so he said, "Hello, Mr. Erwin."
"Why are you there?" Jordan asked.
Kevin glanced at Stella, who motioned for him to leave so she could handle it. He hesitated, but Stella nodded reassuringly, so he had to walk away.
Stella walked after him, explaining things to Jordan as she went. "Kevin wasn't the guy I called over. And I didn't expect to meet him here. He just showed up to help me."
Jordan sounded even colder on the other end of the line.
Stella quickly added, "He came without even letting me know. By the time I got here, he'd already handled everything. I didn't even get a chance to do anything.
"I was planning to tell you about it, but I didn't think you'd find out before I could."
"Stella," Eleanor said.
"Yes?"
"Sometimes I wish I could shrink you down and slip you right into my pocket, so no one else could ever see you."
Stella's heart suddenly skipped a beat.
"You're already married, why is he still doing all this for you? That guy just can't let you go," Jordan muttered.
Stella laughed. "Look who's talking—didn't Joan act the same way?" If Joan wasn't still hoping for another shot with Jordan, there's no way she'd have the guts to tell her that she's pregnant with his kid.
"Getting jealous, are you?" Stella teased.
"Why, am I not allowed?" Jordan retorted.
"Of course you are. I love it when you get jealous. It just proves you care about me."
"So, my sweet Jordan, I have to go meet some people for dinner now. Can I hang up?"
"Sure," Jordan replied.
Just as Stella was about to tell him she'd call again when she got back to the hotel tonight, Jordan said, "I've got something to send you. Take a look when you have time."
"Okay."
After they hung up, Jordan quickly sent the file over. Stella was curious about it. When she opened it, she saw it was a list of supplier contacts from all over the world.
She was touched. Some of the info could be found online, but there were also contacts she just couldn't find. Jordan must have gone through a lot of trouble getting all these, especially the ones that weren't public.
Jordan might not have had time to come, but that didn't mean he wasn't working behind the scenes for her. 'He treats me better than anyone else ever could,' she thought.
At the end, there was a note: [I've already reached out to a few suppliers, which are marked in the list. Just give them a call and it'll be easy to work with them.]
[Thank you, Jordan.] Stella texted him back.
[Don't get too close to Kevin.]
Stella felt her heart melt as if a gentle warmth was flowing right into her.
