NovelStartChapter 207 Tiffany took out her phone and sent a quick message on WhatsApp, then turned to Jacob. "Mr. Jenkins, please go ahead and have it. Lucas ordered enough for everyone." Jacob immediately grinned. "Well, then. I'll be taking some. It looks like I get to enjoy one of Mr. Grant's famous thoughtful lunches, all thanks to Ms. Moore." Tiffany smiled faintly and lowered her head to reply to a message.
Jacob brought over a lunchbox each for Evelyn and Justine. "You must be starving, so go ahead and eat. Mr. Grant is nothing but a thoughtful leader." Justine's expression tightened. "Mr. Grant prepared this lunch for Ms. Moore. Wouldn't it be inappropriate for us to have some?" Jacob chuckled. "Mr. Grant may be thoughtful toward Ms. Moore, but he's thorough too. He made sure everyone was covered. There's enough for all of us." As he spoke, he waved someone over to bring the rest of the lunchboxes.
Justine scoffed. "The wife is benefiting from the mistress' favor? What a sight." Before she could say more, Evelyn calmly picked up a piece of beef and fed it to Justine.

Jacob glanced in that direction, then said casually, "She's probably heading up to see Mr. Grant. No worries. We're done here anyway." He pulled out his phone. "We've got a project group chat to streamline communications moving forward. I'll add you both in, Ms. Scott, Ms. Reed." Evelyn nodded in agreement. Then, Jacob escorted them downstairs.
Once outside, Justine opened the group chat and immediately let out a surprised gasp.
"Why is Lucas in the group chat?" Evelyn paused. "It's probably because he's taking this project seriously and wants to personally oversee things." Justine rolled her eyes. "Sure, it's work. But also, how else would he cover for Tiffany if he weren't here watching everything?" Evelyn did not argue.
She had not looked too closely at the group yet, but as soon as they got in the car, Justine said suspiciously, "Wait... is this their couple avatar?" She handed her phone over for Evelyn to see.
Evelyn took a look at it. Justine had opened the group member list. Right beneath the group creator, Jacob, were Lucas and Tiffany.
