Chapter 286
The doorman gently pushed open the door.
Inside the private room, the lighting was dim and yellowish. What came into view was a huge semicircular sofa, and it seemed someone was sitting on it, facing away from him.
“You’re here.”
After the Wilder Group expanded its entertainment department, Jessica had to face more issues in meetings. Indya went out to meetings every day, and when he returned, he still had to report to Jessica, occasionally meeting with Blake and Sam. Actually, every time Indya met Blake, she felt like she was under quite a lot of pressure.
After all, that person looked at her with such a gaze that it was hard not to be distracted.
If it had been before, Indya wouldn’t have given Blake a second thought; he was just one of her employees, and she could stay focused. But ever since Montvue Tower, Indya always felt that something had changed between her and Blake.
“That’s it. Blake’s endorsement has been settled. The other party requested a press conference for signing. Sam and I still need to discuss this. Oh, and Jason’s endorsement shoot is finished.”
Hearing the name Jason, Jessica felt like it was a lifetime ago. Previously, Michael had used Jason to annoy her, but unexpectedly, Michael abandoned the Hall family so quickly, and Jason had also become an outcast of the Hall family.
Jessica came back to her senses.
“Okay, you need to follow up on the later work. The jewelry department updates too fast, Jason’s endorsement isn’t important. As long as it breaks even, it’s fine.”
Eric said, “The price was pressed low enough at the time. Now that the Hall family is in trouble and the stocks are volatile, it’s not really related to us. It’s not something we should be worried about.”
“Okay, next, I’ve looked over the reports from Imperial Bay…”
The whole morning was filled with meetings, and it wasn’t until after one o’clock that Jessica returned to her office. Opening the door, a warm scent greeted her. She looked closely and saw Chris had already set up afternoon tea on the coffee table.
“Shouldn’t you be playing tennis with Felix today? How come you’re back so early?” Jessica was somewhat surprised.
Chris nodded and shoved the coffee into Jessica’s hand.
“I just got here not long ago. Felix has surgery this afternoon, so I didn’t want to waste his time. Speaking of which, Felix is quite an interesting person.”
There was one thing he didn’t say. Natalie was also there today. In the past he didn’t understand why Natalie wanted to transfer to the Summit Infirmary for her internship; after today, he completely understood. He and Jessica had been married for five years and experienced both dullness and sweetness. The way Natalie looked at him was definitely not a scholar’s respect for a teacher. Someone like Natalie didn’t care about studying at all. The only explanation was that she liked him.
Chris found this both amusing and embarrassing. He was a guy married for six years. Why did she have feelings for him? Felix was helpless about his niece tagging along, especially seeing how Natalie poured tea for Chris and always looked at him with starry eyes. But Chris felt the cup was hot and didn’t dare to meet Natalie’s gaze. He had already told Natalie that Chris was married, but Natalie said Jessica was old. He didn’t understand why the child thought that way. After the event ended, in the dressing room, Felix apologized and reiterated that he would make it clear to Natalie and definitely wouldn’t let his niece pester Chris.
“Nina went to the airport.” Jessica finally had time to check her phone, unlocking it to check the trending topics. Nina personally went to pick someone up at the airport. The person wore sunglasses and a mask, not looking like a celebrity, but whoever warranted Nina’s personal pickup was definitely not an ordinary person.
“Oh, Frederick, a psychology expert. He runs the best psychological hospital worldwide in Lonat. A lot of industrial elites work for him.”
