<strong>Chapter 1600:</strong>


    Chloe swallowed nervously before responding. “But today’s schedule is particrly demanding. We mightck the capacity to properly attend to you.”


    Jayden dismissed her concerns with a shake of his head. “No need for concern. You needn’t amodate me—I’ll simply observe from a distance.”


    Chloe acknowledged his decision before turning toward Elyse. “Have you consumed breakfast? Today’s workload is substantial. Without proper nourishment, you risk experiencing hypoglycemia.”


    “Driscoll has prepared breakfast and various snacks for us, so we should manage adequately,” Elyse reassured her.


    Chloe nodded in approval. “Then let’s proceed. Today we’re recording a variety program, and ifplications arise, we might continue filming until the early morning hours.”


    Elyse munched on her breakfast in the passenger seat, knowing she’d need to start makeup once she reached the TV station. Time was precious this morning.


    “You’ve barely touched your food,” Jayden observed after reviewing the day’s show rundown, concern etching his features. “Won’t you get hungryter?”


    “I can’t risk eating too much,” Elyse exined, patting her stomach. “It might make me nauseous during filming.”


    Jayden’s worry deepened at her words, while in the driver’s seat, Chloe broke into a nervous sweat. Her mind raced with fears that Jayden would me her for booking such demanding work for Elyse.


    The TV station recording proved remarkably smooth, flowing from start to finish without a single hup.


    “We’re wrapping up two hours ahead of schedule,” Elyse noted, checking her watch. “Should we grab a bite before heading home?”


    Jayden nodded eagerly, turning to gauge Chloe’s reaction.


    Chloe’s heart sank as realization dawned—she’d only be intruding on their time together.


    “I should probably head back early,” she stammered, wringing her hands. “I’m not hungry, just exhausted and in desperate need of rest.”


    “At least have something small before you go,” Elyse insisted.


    “No need to worry about me. Sleep is calling my name.”


    Chloe practically dove into her car, the engine roaring to life as she sped away.


    Elyse watched the retreating vehicle, bewilderment clear on her face. “What got into her?”


    “She’s just tired,” Jayden assured her, seizing the opportunity. “Let’s enjoy dinner, just us two.”


    Elyse agreed, following him to a nearby restaurant where they settled in to await their order.


    The bell above the door chimed as another patron entered.


    Jayden paid little attention until a chance nce up made him freeze.


    Something about the man stirred his memory, a nagging sense of familiarity.


    Rather than approach immediately, Jayden observed quietly.
