--explanation--

The verb address in this context means to deal with or resolve an issue or problem. Jake was focusing on resolving the matter while the team waited for his approval. For example:

The manager addressed the client's concerns during the meeting. - Here, addressed refers to taking action to deal with the client's concerns.

In the sentence, Jake uses the Past Continuous (was addressing) to describe the ongoing action of resolving the issue while another ongoing action (the team was waiting) happened simultaneously.
