Gatsby is hoping to find out if Jordan Baker talked to him, and if as a result, Nick talked to Daisy.

He waited, looking at me with suppressed eagerness.
"I talked with Miss Baker," I said after a moment. "I'm going to call up Daisy to-morrow and invite her over here to tea."
"Oh, that's all right," he said carelessly. "I don't want to put you to any trouble."
