The chaos with the comic project had barely settled, and now she was swamped with designs for the new collectible figures. She was already running on fumes.
And yet, late at night, someone was knocking on her door.
Jessica opened it and saw someone she had seen on TV-it was Yelena.
Jessica had heard about Yelena recently. Despite her brash personality and childish looks, she was around Annalise's age.
Surprised, Jessica asked, "What brings you here?" "To talk." Without waiting for an invitation, Yelena stepped inside, made herself comfortable in the living room, and sat on the couch. Only then did she turn to Jessica and say, "You seem to know a lot about Zane. Do you like him?" Jessica did have her sights set on Zane, but admitting it was out of the question.

But saying that outright would be too cruel and revealing. If she were too blunt, Yelena might start to suspect that she had a hidde agenda regarding Zane.
Jessica wasn't that foolish. Instead, she said smoothly, "Maybe you just attract a different type of man."
