Jonas nodded eagerly. "Yes, I've been looking for you for a long time. You have no idea, Dylan sent me abroad just to keep me from seeing you..."
Rebecca frowned.
Really?
Dylan would do something like that?
But why would Dylan want to keep Jonas away from her?
The thought of Dylan made Jonas fume, and he couldn't help but vent his frustrations. "I came back to the company and you were gone. It was Dylan who got rid of you. It makes me so mad."
As he spoke, Jonas began to sound genuinely upset. "I worked my butt off overseas just to get back sooner. I haven't stopped since I returned. I'm practically the employee of the year."
Jonas grew more agitated. "In the end, it all comes down to my cousin Dylan being too ruthless. He's not even human!"
Rebecca's lips twitched. "Is... is that so?"
Jonas continued to bad-mouth Dylan. "That's right. My cousin is the worst person in the world. You'd be better off staying away from him."
After a moment, he asked, "By the way, young lady, what are you doing here?"
His tone immediately softened as he looked at Rebecca.
Rebecca replied, "I came with Mr. Austin for Mr. Hugh Austin's birthday party."
Jonas frowned. "Oh, I see."
So Dylan was being a hypocrite. He wouldn't let Jonas pursue happiness, but he had no problem bringing his own secretary to a family event.
Hmph. From this day forward, he and Dylan were rivals in love.
