?Chapter 241:


    Despite Kaiden’sposed exterior, his gaze intensified with each passing moment.


    While Kaiden had witnessed Ellie’s charismatic and sultry jazz performance, her ability to master the enchanting ssical dance surprised him.


    Bruce exined, “Mrs. Thorpe is filling in as a dancer due to a crew requirement. Baylee sent me the video with a note stating that it was a gift for you. She likely didn’t have your number, so she used mine.”


    Kaiden viewed the video three times and stored it on his mobile device. Surprisingly, Kaiden found Baylee somewhat useful for the first time, thinking that his impression of her had improved.


    However, as Kaiden contemted, the image of Ellie dancing in grand attire in front of a multitude of people on the set crossed his mind. Many eyes were fixed on her during those moments. Although he hadn’t personally witnessed her dance, others had the privilege of doing so.


    Thinking of this, Kaiden felt a sense of discontent.


    Later that night, Ellie received a picture message.


    The image captured a moment from her dance earlier that day.


    Initially, Ellie was uncertain whether to be surprised by why Kaiden had this picture or that he had sent her a message with an attached image.


    She dialed Kaiden’s number.


    The call connected promptly.


    “Hello?”


    Not having heard Kaiden’s voice for a few days, her heart raced a bit faster now.


    “Why do you have a picture of my dance?” Ellie inquired. “Did the director forward it to you?”


    Instead of a direct answer, Kaiden replied, “Ellie, you have never performed ssical dance for me.”


    ???????? ?????????????? ???? ??????????????????.??????


    Ellie sensed an unexined tinge of jealousy in his brief remark. Why did she harbor such a perception?


    “But I did perform jazz for you,” Ellie retorted. Moreover, who would engage in ssical dance when there were more interesting things to do?


    Dissatisfied, Kaiden responded, “You were coerced into dancing for me, and you were dressed casually.”


    Ellie found herself at a loss for words, unsure of how to respond to his somewhat ridiculousint.


    Admitting she would dance for him aspensation in the future seemed too embarrassing for her.


    Swiftly changing the topic, Ellie asked, “Why don’t you have my WhatsApp? Who stillmunicates through text messages?”


    Kaiden replied, “I don’t use WhatsApp. I prefer direct calls.” He was implying that texting was Ellie’s prerogative.


    Expressing surprise, Ellie questioned, “Who doesn’t use WhatsApp nowadays?”
