CEO's Reborn Wife

Chapter 261: Chapter 269: Accidental and Inevitable

Jane Sampson held her mobile phone, stunned for quite a while. She was very surprised—had James Black actually blocked her on WhatsApp?

Looking at the string of small black characters, Jane mumbled to herself, ”He wouldn’t have blocked my mobile number as well, would he?”

Thinking of this, Jane immediately sent James a text message. Since it was just a test, she only sent two words followed by a punctuation mark.

James Black?

Seeing that the text message was sent successfully, Jane inexplicably breathed a sigh of relief. He hadn’t blocked her completely, so there might still be a chance to mend things, right?

After a whole day of filming, which left her with a sore back and aching waist, she got back to the hotel after 10:00 p.m.

After taking a bath, Jane first checked her phone to see if James had received the text message she sent in the afternoon. She kept hoping he would reply, and that was why she had been checking her phone often today.

Considering James’s usual schedule, he should be getting ready to rest at this time, so Jane thought that James would not respond to her message.

Although he hadn’t blocked her, he also had no intention of dealing with her.

Jane was torn for a moment before she sat cross-legged on the bed and made a call to Nina Rice.

For Nina, this time was nothing more than the routine of working overtime. Ever since she got enough funds from Jane to start her entrepreneurial plan, Nina had been so busy that she had hardly had a proper rest.

”Finished shooting?” Nina was flipping through the information in her hand—the food safety inspection reports she had sent for some tests, which she would use as base ingredients and door-sealing ingredients in the future.

When Nina received Jane’s call, she temporarily put down her work and closed her eyes to gently massage and relax herself, ”Calling me out of the blue, are you going to brag about how delicious those roasted lamb chops you had over there are again?”

”Not at all. I’ve been filming these past few days, and it’s so dry here that I don’t dare to eat anything roasted. In fact, I haven’t even had a single bite of meat recently.” Jane had gone overboard showing off a video of roasted lamb chops to Nina the day she arrived in the small town, resulting in Nina threatening to block her from Moments.

”Nina, I need to ask you something.” Jane spoke this sentence while her other hand not holding the phone idly played with the white quilt underfoot. ”If you did something that made someone very angry, so much so that they blocked you on WhatsApp, wouldn’t answer your texts, and wouldn’t take your calls, what do you think is the best way to make it up to them?”

”It depends on what you did to make the other person angry, whether it was a matter of principle or just a one-off mistake,” Nina asked.

”It’s coincidental, but also inevitable. In his eyes, though, it’s probably a matter of principle,” Jane covered her face.

”That’s really damn complicated,” Nina complained, ”Who is this person? A good friend you met on the film crew?”

”No,” Jane denied.

”Is it a man or a woman?” Nina asked and then chuckled, adding offhandedly, ”Jane Sampson, don’t tell me you managed to tick off Commander Black so much that he’s ignoring you now?”

”!!!” Are all lawyers this astute at seeing through things?

Jane held the phone with a look of shock on her face. She hadn’t said anything, so how could Nina have guessed it so accurately?

”Not talking, eh?” Nina laughed, not very kindly, ”That means I guessed right.”
