Chapter 17 – Who are you?
Jonathan looked at the woman standing in front of him with a big grin on her face and he instantly knew she had nothing whatsoever to do with the L&L Group.
“Who are you?” He asked.
“Jennifer Cox. I am a nurse. Henry said you were his friend.” She answered, grinning.
“Care to explain!” Jonathan sighed wondering what Lil was playing at.
“Henry called you a few times and you did not answer. He sent me to enquire when are you throwing a bash to celebrate the collaboration with L&L Design. He said based on L&L Design’s reputation it must be grand. And you must make it – a couple entries only.” She continued as Jonathan did not speak.
“Lil overheard us and told me to act like this and dressed me up. This is my first time, I think I did great. What do you think? Oh, and she also asked me to pass this to you.” Jennifer chippered away happily.
Jonathan had a hard time thinking of her as a nurse. But he got the note and started reading it all the same.
“Let’s have a press conference in two days. Make it big!
Add a teaser if you will. You can take the left side profile of Jennifer. I can send you the pic if you are unsure, but taking it in your office makes it more authentic. Make sure her face is not visible. Sending samples in text.
PS: Fire employee with ID 1425, 678, 1368, 844 unless you like being spied on.
PPS: Might wanna tell a good reason why a nurse was visiting you. Jenn is a prankster (hard to believe, I know) and I am afraid you won’t like what she would come up with.”
Jonathan read it twice and did not know if he should laugh or cry.
She really was having a blast like playing a game. He was enthralled and scared at the same time, but it was a good kind of scared.
He looked at Jennifer and shook his head.
“Miss Cox,” he started but was cut off by her, “Oh, please, you are friends with Henry and Lil. Call me Jenn.”
Vincent had just entered the office with refreshments and held his laugh.
Jonathan cleared his throat but was cut off before he could even speak.
“Oh my Goodness! This is my favorite. You are so nice. It’s Vincent, right? Will you be my date for the bash they will hold for Lil?” Jenn asked Vincent, leaving both men speechless.
Vincent coughed awkwardly and was immediately held by Jennifer who thought he was choking.
Jonathan was speechless.
So was Vincent.
“Are you alright?” Jenn asked worriedly.Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
Vincent untangled himself from her and said, “Yes, I am fine. Thank you!”
