Oliver's Substitute Bride (Oliver and Jessica)

Chapter 15

Simon didn't dare say another word.

Jessica arrived at the Williams Corporation, and just as the elevator was about to close, she quickly

squeezed in. If she waited for the elevator to close, she would probably be late.

As soon as she walked to the office door, she met the brightly dressed Catherine.

Jessica smiled and said, "Good morning, Catherine."

"As a newcomer, you dared to be late the next day. You're quite impressive. "

Jessica looked at the time. There were still a few minutes left before nine o'clock. "It's probably

because your watch hasn't been adjusted. It's not even time for work yet. "

Catherine did not expect Jessica to talk back to her. Although she was a third-level secretary, she was

at least someone close to the CEO. Even the directors of other departments would be polite to her.

How could she be willing to be talked back to by a newcomer?

Jessica didn't continue to talk to Catherine and went straight to her seat.

She had worked overtime until early in the morning yesterday. She was in a bad mood. She squeezed

the bus to the company and was scolded by her colleagues. Her heart was also burning with anger.

She could not control herself and resisted Catherine's words.

Jessica went to her office and saw a stack of new documents on her desk. On the paper, there was a C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.

note stating the areas that needed to be checked. When she stayed up late the night before, she felt

like she was going blind. Yesterday, she had only slept for a short period of time, and now she was still

dizzy. She was really afraid of making a mistake.

She had just started working, so she didn't have any experience. She could only do some basic work

without any technical skills.

She sat motionless in her seat all morning, and by lunchtime, her stomach was already growling from

hunger. She had been so angry with Oliver in the morning that she just drank a glass of milk, and left in

a hurry.

When she arrived at the employee restaurant, it was time for everyone to eat and she had to line up for

a while before it was her turn.

She ordered a serving of steamed pork, a serving of taco, and a bowl of rice. It had been a long time

since she had eaten so much because was afraid that if she would not be able to finish her work today,

she had to work overtime again. The employee restaurant was not open for business at night, so she

had to go out to eat. It would be too much of a waste of time. She also wanted to visit her grandma.

Jessica was holding a plate and looking for an empty seat to sit down. She heard people whispering

beside her. Many people looked at the entrance of the restaurant.

She looked up and saw a group of people surrounding Oliver, and his aura was very strong, and he

was walking towards the dining window.

She was about to meet Oliver, so she turned her head. She walked away quickly in the opposite

direction but accidentally stepped on a pool of water under her feet. She was wearing five-centimeter

high heels. When she slipped, there was no room for any reaction. There was a dull thud. Jessica lay

on the ground, and a plate of food fell on her body. Everyone in the restaurant turned to look at her.

She wanted to get up right away, and then she reached out to pick up the chair next to her and saw

that it was Catherine sitting on the chair.

At this time, Jessica saw a pair of shiny black leather shoes on the ground, and a pair of straight long

legs walking towards her.

Catherine quickly stood up and leaned over to help Jessica up. She asked with concern, "Jessica, why

are you so careless? Did you hurt anywhere?"

"Thank you, I'm fine. "

Catherine turned around and looked at Oliver, "Sir, this is our office's worker, Jessica. She accidentally

fell down just now. Don't worry, I'll take good care of her. "

Oliver didn't say anything, just gave Catherine a little signal, and then he passed by them with the

group of people followed.

She had only been here two days, and she hadn't put clothes for changing in the office yet. After all,

this was something that she had never thought of. Now, she could only go home.

Jessica took a leave of absence from Catherine, left the company in a hurry, and went out to take a cab

home.

Chloe saw Jessica in a sorry state and quickly asked, "Mrs. Williams, what's going on?"

"I accidentally fell during lunch. "

"You didn't eat, did you? I will ask someone in the kitchen to cook for you. "

"Okay, thank you, Chloe. "

Jessica went upstairs and directly went into the bathroom.

She took off her clothes. Except for the kiss marks left on her body a few days ago, which had not

completely disappeared. There seemed to be no other external injuries. Fortunately, she fell to the

ground on her butt. She had a perky butt and the flesh on her butt was thick. Otherwise, with that heavy

fall, her tailbone would have shattered.

She had lunch at home and then took a taxi back to the company.

As soon as she got to the office, a colleague next to her whispered to her, "Dana is looking for you."

Dana was the highest-ranking secretary in all the Secretariats, the most deeply valued by Oliver.

Jessica knocked on the door and went into the office nervously.

Darcy was dressed in a black suit with long hair tied behind her head, looked so energetic and neat.

"Why are you absent from work today?"

"No, I didn't. I just went out for some trifles."

"From now on, I don't want to see you absent again."

"Yes, I see."

"Catherine had been waiting for you for a long time before she went to the Zamani Group. You went

straight there."

Jessica uneasily returned to her seat and called Catherine.

No one answered the phone. Now that she didn't know what happened, she asked her colleagues.

Then she was told about the notification asked Catherine and her to the Zamani Group for negotiating

the sponsorship affairs of the art exhibition.

Jessica put away her bag and ran to the elevator, just encountering Oliver at the president's exclusive

elevator.

She nodded to him. But the man didn't even look at her.

Jessica went to the Zamani but couldn't get in touch with Catherine. When she was in a hurry at the

reception desk, she saw someone familiar to her.

"Miss White, why are you here?" Sally asked with a smile.

She was afraid of meeting the wrong person. It was only when Jessica heard the voice that she could

recognize her.

When Sally appeared in Henry's Brushshop last time, she was dressed in an elegant dress. Today,

Sally was dressed in a lotus-colored suit with high heels, which completely drew Jessica's attention.

"Miss Sally, I came here with secretary Catherine of the Williams Group. And I am waiting for the time

being until I can reach her."

"Catherine is already upstairs. I'll take you there."

Jessica was so anxious just now that she almost sweated for that. When she entered the elevator with

Sally, she gradually calmed down.

When the elevator opened, Catherine greeted Sally with a big smile on her face and reached out her

hand. "Good afternoon, Miss Sally."

After that, she looked at Jessica behind and said with the same expression, "Jessica, you're here too.

I've been waiting for you downstairs for a long time, but I haven't seen you. So I came up first."

Jessica felt so annoyed after hearing her words. But she and Catherine represented the Williams

Group in front of Sally. It was unwise to quarrel with her on this occasion, so she just kept silent.

She didn't know anything about the negotiation before, and Catherine didn't tell her. She could only sit

by the side and help with the notes.

Only then did Jessica know that Brushshop belonged to the Zamani Group. Sally was not only in

charge of the affairs in Brushshop, but also in an important position in the Zamani Group. She was the

connection between the two parties during this negotiation.

With the advantages of operating brush shops, the Zamani Family family had been developing in the

calligraphy and painting collection field for a long time, and its business was also involved in the hold

and organization of art exhibitions.

The Williams Group wanted the Zamani Group to promote the Fox Mountain Residence.

Fox Mountain Residence was a high-end resort hotel of Williams Group designed by the top

architectural designer in the world.

The Zamani Family would invite famous artists from the calligraphy and painting industry to the

exhibition and promote publicity of the hotel.

After discussing the details of the cooperation, Sally suggested visiting the Fox Mountain Residence

and arranged for a driver to take them with her.

The Fox Mountain Residence was not in Birmingham, and the driver drove for more than two hours to

get there.

The hotel was built at the foot of Fox Mountain, surrounded by lush greenery and clear water. Inside,

the entire style was simple yet elegant.

Catherine took them around and went back to the hotel's tea room to chat.

Not long after that, Sally received a call and went back to Birmingham in advance.

Catherine asked Jessica to check the guest room. The artists would be invited to stay at the hotel. It

was important to ensure that there would be no accidents in the facilities of the room.

The hotel was very private, and each room was far away. She ran back and forth, panting and

exhausted.

After all the inspections, Catherine arranged for her to the storage room to prepare souvenirs for the

guests.

Jessica was so busy inside that she didn't even notice the time. Her stomach growled, which reminded

her that she had felt hungry so frequently that she could win an eating contest.

Suddenly, the lights in the room went out, just in time for her to get off work.

She wanted to check the time but found that her phone was with her. She looked out and it was already

dark.

Jessica got up and walked to the door in the dark, but she could not open it whatever she tried. There

was no key on the lock when she came in, so she could open it from inside even if it was locked, but no

matter how she tried to twist the handle, it was still useless.

Jessica slammed on the door and shouted for help, but she didn't receive any response.

The hotel was not officially open yet, and there was very few staff in the hotel. Most of them were

gathered in the front hall.

She was running out of strength and slid to the ground.

There was silence all around.
