It is a hot sunny day. The sun was overhead like a forty-degree fireplace sending heat to the ground below. Yet Jessica was standing under that weather waiting for the manager of Forest Group, Jascop.
The security guards kept her out of the lobby, and they told her it was a new rule that the vice president had set up.
Jessica raised her hand to wipe the sweat, and the sun's heat scorched her skin. Just when Jessica thought she couldn't wait any longer, a voice suddenly sounded behind her.
"Jessica, it's you. What are you doing here?" A sharp female voice sounded.
Jessica turned her head and saw a sexy girl with a fiery body walking towards her. She tossed her hair, curly blond hair swaying with every step she took. She puffed out her chest, haughtily walking over to Jessica.
"What a coincidence, Jessica."
Seeing her approaching, Jessica felt disgusted. It's Moona, who always compete with her in many aspects: outlook, education, boyfriend, etc., also came here today for the cooperation with Forest Group?
Jessica's hand that was holding the document on her stomach subconsciously clenched, and she couldn't lose this opportunity.
Moona had a bit of resentment when Jessica didn't reply her. She stroked her hair again, perfume following it around Jessica's nose. A solid and unpleasant scent.
"You must have been standing here for a long time. How pitiful, your skin looked so red that it was scorched by the sun. Are you going to negotiate in such an outlook?"
Moona and Jessica's appearance at that time was different. But Jessica didn't care about that.
"Beauty is only the surface while one's inner quality matters more." She replied.
This sentence touched the innermost soul of Moona because she was always jealous of Jessica's beauty and education. Except for her husband, everything about Jessica she wanted. And her husband seems to be her only weakness, so every time they meet, Moona uses it to make fun of her.
"You'd better go back home. Today's contract is mine, and you can't win it. And let me send my regards to your husband. Is he still at home and hanging around in the kitchen these days? Is he still so useless and leaves his wife standing in the hot sun to earn money to support him? It's ridiculous, be wise in choosing a man because it will determine your life."
Moona spoke nonstop. But undeniably, her words were not wrong and had extremely significant damage. Just as Jessica opened her mouth, about to reply to something, a warm male voice suddenly came behind her.
"Honey."
Both Jessica and Moona looked in that direction. But before she had time to react, Moona rushed towards the other man and pressed her body to his muscular chest, then cooed:
"I've been waiting you for so long."
Jessica recognized that man, and he was the manager of Forest Group. She finally understood something and she couldn't help but smile mockingly.
Jascop, the group's manager, kissed Moona's hair lightly, then he looked at Jessica. His gaze slid from top to bottom of hers, his eyes as if assessing an item that disgusted Jessica. But there was nothing she could do.
After looking at Jessica, Jascop's eyes became satisfied. He gently pushed Moona away and walked towards Jessica. Then said to Jessica with gentle voices:
"What a pretty lady. Are you from Lockes to seek for cooperation? I am exactly the one responsible for it and we can have a talk in my office."
He attempted to grab Jessica's hand as he spoke those words with indecent intensions.
Jessica stepped back to avoid it, refusing him," stop your disgusting actions, shame on you."
Her sharp words obviously hurt him that he claimed," you will never get the cooperation with Forest while Moona will."
He put his arm around Moona's waist again and teased her. Moona also stared at Jessica proudly.
Feeling depressed, she decide to give it up since there seemed no chance for her anymore. She won't sell her body even if she is expelled from the family.
She turned back and intended to leave without hesitation. Moona's face was full of excitement as if it was saying that she won Jessica finally.
"Go back home Jessica, just go back home to live with your jerk husband." She shouted loudly, attacting others' attention.
But quickly the secretary of Isabel broke her illusions. She had informed Isabel half an hour ago but Isabel wanted Jessica to wait longer. At this moment, Isabel finally invited Jessica to her office.
"Mrs Jessica, President Isabel invite you to her office, please follow me." She said.
Jessica was very surprised while Monna and Jascop felt annoyed. Moona cried to pleade Jascop to struggle it for her but she was coldly refused. Jascop loosened her hands and left while Jessica got upstairs.
Then the two entered the company and went to Isabel's office. It was a room on the top floor, very spacious and luxurious. Jessica and Isabel sat across from each other. They are all beautiful and talented girls, admired by many people. But Jessica looks more individual than Isabel. She wears a pair of trousers, high heels, and a blazer. Looks maturer and more elegant. Jessica's hair is also short, in contrast to Isabel's long hair. Jessica's face is light makeup, less fussy than Isabel's. Isabel is a girl who pursues a glamorous style. It all reflects that, from her body shape to the clothes she wears. She wears an A-line skirt and a white shirt that is not the usual style but is stylized, with a bow at the neck and elastic at the wrist. Jessica sat down, and she prepared what she was going to say. But at this moment, Isabel suddenly spoke: "We can sign a contract." "What?" Jessica was dumbfounded; she didn't understand what Isabel said until she handed over a thick set of contr
"Jack, you have to be brave and responsible as a man. You apologize to Jessica.""Grandma…" Jack wanted to continue arguing, but Mrs. Locke's cold, sharp gaze stopped the words that reached his throat. As a member of this family, Jack also has the most contact with Mrs. Locke, so he understands her personality better than anyone. Knowing that he could not do anything else, he had to stand up and bow his head to admit his mistake. "Sorry, Jessica. I'm sorry for saying bad things about you and your husband." Receiving Jack's apology, Jessica felt extremely satisfied, she turned to Mrs. Locke and said: "Next time, I will try harder to bring success to the company." "YES. You do very well. I look forward to your future achievements." Mrs. Locke gave Jessica a rare smile. Her face also relaxed with an expression of satisfaction. This made Jack's blood boil, and in his anger, he shouted: "Before worrying about work, you should take care of things at home first. Alex had an affair!" W
The next day, Jack and his father arrogantly come to Forest Group to meet Isabel to discuss the cooperation.When they got into the meeting room, they were surprised by Isabel's appearance. How sexy she is. More importantly, she is a powerful woman. "I'll marry her!" Jack couldn't help thinking, exposing a dirty expression.His father said to Isabel that the following cooperaion will be taken over by them rather than Jessica in the future. Isabel felt surprised that Jessica had failed in family struggles, but she dispised Jack's obscene expression. "Why didn't Jessica come today?" She asked severely. Jack then replied,"Jessica is sick, so I'll take over her position until she gets better." As soon as Jack finished speaking, Isabel stood up directly without saying more than two words. "I will just cooperate with her and wait until she recovers." After saying that, Isabel stood up and intended to leave the office. They are extremely surprised."We have signed the contract, will y
Drowning in her depression, Jessica locked herself in the room. She lay on the bed and stared at the ceiling, and fell asleep quickly. It was when her phone rang that she woke up.Jessica vaguely brought the phone screen to her eyes, the loud sound and the bright light making her want to throw the phone away immediately. But then the name displayed on the phone screen immediately woke her up. Jack?Jack? What did he call her for? To mock or tease her? To show off his achievements? It made Jessica annoyed while thinking about it. Everything was originally hers, but taken over by that bastard. She wanted to hang it up, but in the end, she pulled it through."What's up?"The other side, Jack kept silent."What is going on!? Say quickly." Her patience had run out.As if he was threatened by Jessica's aura, at this moment Jack stammered:"I… I want you to take over the position to cooperate with Forest…"Before Jack could finish his sentence, Jessica directly hung up. In her mind, she thou
This is big blow to Jessica, which quickly messed up her mind. She also remembered the question of Isabel, "Do you know Alex well?". Now this question is a tailor's cushion on her heart.She rushed into her room and picked up the phone, calling Alex. But the only response was the familiar voice of "cannot be connected".She didn't understand why it was unavailable. She wanted to know the truth if he had sold himself to help her out.Thinking of that, Isabel's eyebrow immediately frowned that she would rather him stay at home. However, she also regreted to slap him that night. She wanted to find him and make all things clear.Currently unable to contact him, Jessica thought where could he go. She knew that he had no relatives or friends in Kimberly. Suddenly, a name suddenly popped into her mind, Isabel. Maybe Alex was with her, or she must know something about him.Meanwhile, Alex is in the meeting room of the Forest Corporation, discussing with shareholders about acquiring all compa
The Sky Revolving RestaurantIt is for couples to go on a date, so the atmosphere is cozy and romantic. The main lighting of the restaurant is from candles and metal decorations.The space is filled with melodious symphony music as if to bring people into the world of fairy romance. At the same time, the light rose scent makes people feel extremely relaxed.Isabel has reserved a table here. She and Alex entered the restaurant, looking like a real couple. Alex was handsome, Isabel was charming, and they quickly attracted the attention of others.The restaurant waiter quickly came and greeted them. When Isabel read the phone number, the waiter immediately led the two to a table by the window with a favorable view.Isabel felt extremely happy with the present moment. She raised her wine glass to toast with Alex, celebrating his divorce. However, Alex didn't feel good since he had signed the agreement. She did it just she thought Jessica had signed it before.At this moment, the restaur
The next morning, in the top office of the Forest Group. Isabel was reporting to Alex about company affairs, but she turned to an interesting topic then. "Master, do you know what happened in Sky Revolving after we had left?" The expression on her face was weird. "What?" Alex was curious too. "It is saying that the woman was beaten into an irreversible vegetative state and still doesn't wake up in the hospital now; Jascop got a mental disorder and was put into a mental institution." Hearing that, Alex felt that lives are so fragile. He did the indirect result of that. Then he changed the topic and asked Isabel about the procedure of a new project, BHD Discovery. BHD Discovery aimed to establish a super shopping mall in Kimberly City, though there had been several malls already. Isabel replied then: "It's hard to find a proper site to build BHD Discovery now, so the first step is blocked." Isabel sighed. "A commercial center usually has to be built in a densely populated pla
Three days went by so quickly.Since it was an offer-bid, many real estate businessmen had come. The government's decision to invest in the western area had attracted many of them to bid up. Everyone wanted to make profits through it, like constructing a residential area.Alex quietly stood in a corner and observed, Windmill, TheSky, BTB, etc., many local companies here.As a newcomer, the Forest Group was also a top company in real estate, which annoyed them. They united to resist it."Unexpectedly, this is a delicious piece of cake. We are all chasing it." Alex shook the wine glass in his hand while Isabel was standing by.Today Isabel was wearing a black slit two-piece dress, which hugged her body to accentuate her hourglass figure. The dress was dotted with sparkling glitter, making Isabel look like she was wearing the whole galaxy. Outwardly she weared a fur coat, like the fur of a large leopard. Today, Isabel's hair was curled; she looked like a Hollywood female star, with red l
