Toward the end of Chapter IV, after Jordan has told Nick the story of the history between Gatsby and Daisy as well as the fact that Gatsby bought the house directly across the bay from Daisy's on purpose, she reveals that Gatsby wants Nick to "'invite Daisy to [his] house some afternoon and then let him come over.'" Further, the reason Gatsby didn't just ask Jordan to arrange a meeting herself is because "'He wants [Daisy] to see his house, [...] And [Nick's] house is right next door.'" Jordan continues, speculating that Gatsby was hoping Daisy would happen into one of his crazy, infamous parties one night, but she never came. Then, he "'began asking people casually if they knew her, and [Jordan] was the first one he found." So, he spoke to her privately and asked her to ask Nick for the favor.
