Chapter 1404:

“Alec, you shouldn't say that. The male servers in our club are all strong and capable. Maybe you should see for yourself.”

Alec’s expression darkened even further. “What? Look at my ass.”

Jemma chuckled, clarifying mischievously, “What are you thinking, Alec? “I meant you should see if they are strong with those muscles.”

Alec was about to lose his temper. Jemma was clearly mocking him. He knew he hadn't misinterpreted his intentions, not in the slightest!

Jemma, determined to end the verbal dispute, felt her arms growing tired of holding Nicole. Seeing Jarrod blocking her way, she turned to him: “Mr. Schultz, could you please step aside? “We’re having a hard time getting out.”

Jarrod stood his ground, his presence formidable, blocking the view of those male companions.

Just as Jemma was beginning to lose hope of him moving, Jarrod stepped aside slightly, allowing them to pass.

Jemma's heart sank. It seemed like the night's plan was falling apart.

Jarrod's minimal gesture betrayed his disinterest in intruding into Nicole's situation. So what had he made him enter the elevator? Was Jarrod really here to evaluate the club's male escorts? A man whose time was worth millions wouldn't normally waste it on trivialities like that.

Though confused, Jemma knew she had to proceed. If she delayed, Jarrod might become suspicious of her motives, and that was a risk she couldn't afford to take with someone as calculating and unpredictable as he was.

Compared to Jarrod's complexity, Jemma found Alec simple and readable.

Alec, however, was not fooled by Jemma's maneuvers. He sneered, "Jemma, what's the point of delay? You seem to be hesitating to leave Miss Lawrence with them."

Jemma managed a tight smile. “What are you implying, Alec? “I’m not.”

Alec sneered disdainfully. “Just make sure you don't harbor inappropriate thoughts. Trying to influence hearts? Don’t you know that the human heart is the most unpredictable of all?”

Jemma was aware that Alec was mocking her. She forced a smile and replied, “Alec, you can rest assured that I am not overthinking it. “We always serve our distinguished guests obediently without any inappropriate thoughts.”

Alec pressed his lips together, nodded slightly, and stepped away.

Jemma tried to help Nicole out of the elevator, but quickly realized that the space was too narrow for them both to exit side by side. However, without her help, Nicole couldn't get out alone.

It was a delicate situation.

Not daring to ask Jarrod to move away, Jemma turned to Alec.

“Alec, could you step outside for a moment? “We need a little more space to get out.”

Understanding the practicality of his request, Alec left without further objection.

When Jemma tried to get past Nicole in front of Jarrod, she found herself stuck again. She struggled to get past Nicole without success.

Holding Nicole, Jemma couldn't help but feel frustrated.

The normally spacious elevator now seemed oppressively small.
