Chapter 86
Victory group’s morning.
When Nelissa returned to the company, she was already an hour late. It was Edward who drove her home. Otherwise, she would have been late for the bus squeeze for a longer time. She had just applied a light lipstick on the elevator. When she got out of the car, she was kissed by Edward, and her lips were a little red and swollen.
Nelissa sat down, and the female colleague next door poked her head out and asked, “Did you sleep late?”
“That’s right.” Nelissa blushed for no reason. Her mind was still filled with the teasing laughter of Edward.
She looked at Jolene’s office and asked her colleague, “Is Mr. Cox back?”
The female colleague shook her head and gossiped, “Not yet. I saw other managers come back this morning, but Mr. Cox didn’t come back. I don’t know what’s going on.”
Nelissa frowned slightly. “I’m going out to make a phone call.”
The female colleague smiled and let her go. It was very friendly. The colleagues in the office all knew that Nelissa and Mr. Cox had a good relationship. Not only that, but Nelissa also had a rich long-distance boyfriend. It was said that he was very familiar with even Edward.
The female colleague’s good relationship with Nelissa was also to pave the way for her. Women would be urged to get married when they were old. If she wanted to marry into a rich and powerful family, she had to at least get to know a person who was close to a rich family. Nelissa was right. Maybe she could introduce one or two rich sons-in-law to her. She did not expect Edward, a national husband, to be able to marry a young master.
As soon as Nelissa went out with her mobile phone in her hand, a younger sister called her name.
The female colleague next door was enthusiastic about replacing the signature. There were hundreds of kinds of red roses, which were not cheap at all.
The colleagues in the office once again firmly believed the rumor that Nelissa did indeed have a rich boyfriend.
Nelissa called Jolene from the air vent on the floor. She was worried that something bad had happened to Jolene, so why hadn’t he returned with the company?
Jolene was older than her. He was usually very capable at work, so he rarely fell behind. She was a little worried.
The phone rang for a long time before it picked up. Jolene’s voice sounded listless as he said, “Nelissa, I met him.”
Nelissa furrowed her brows. Jolene’s voice was not quite right. “Which one?”
“That jerk,” murmured Jolene. He seemed to be sighing, but was also sighing.
“He’s back? He’s making things difficult for you? You’re still in Southville City, right? I’ll pick up the fastest flight ticket I’ve ever booked for Nathan and come look for you.” Nelissa knew that before Jolene met her, he had once been hurt by a scumbag, so Jolene hated him very much.
This was how society was like. It was normal for a man and a woman to be separated, separated, and in love. They couldn’t stand the test of reality. Jolene had dated a few men before, but none of them were able to bear the fruits. Right now, it was an empty window.
Jolene said, “No need, no need. Don’t worry. I just have some things I need to make clear to him. It’s fine. I’ll be back a few days later. I’m already on leave.”
Nelissa asked in a muffled voice, “Are you all right?”
“It should be fine.” As Jolene spoke, he laughed straightforwardly. “Actually, after so many years, I didn’t hate him for anything. My first time was for him. What era is it now? I personally don’t care if I’m a virgin or not. I just feel sorry for the child I couldn’t get pregnant with back then. I think this is the reason why I hate him.”
Nelissa knew that Jolene was a child with no fate. Five years ago in Southville City, Jolene had spared no effort to help her because of this.
She was willing to give birth to the child. Even if she knew that Edward was her father, she had never regretted it.
It was very strange. When she knew that Edward wanted her to have a baby with him, she was a little proud. Fortunately, she didn’t have a child with him.
She despised herself in her heart. What was there to be proud of giving birth to two children for him?
Nelissa asked Jolene, “Then what are you going to do?”
Jolene counted on his fingers and said, “Let’s make it clear. Let’s go our separate ways. It’s not like we’re in love with each other. Let’s not be entangled in this.”
Nelissa smiled gently. “I’m waiting for you at home.”
“Okay, little wife.”
Since Jolene knew how to joke, Nelissa knew that there was no need to worry about her.
After hanging up the phone, Nelissa went back to her office. There was a bunch of good-looking roses on her desk. The female colleague next door said that she had signed for her just now. She asked, “Did your long-distance boyfriend give it to you?”
Nelissa didn’t admit it or deny it. She kept silent.
Where did she get a long-distance boyfriend? It was purely an illusion. The men she knew could be counted on one hand, and the clients could not be counted.
She sat down, turned the chair, and looked at the bouquet of roses. There was only one movie ticket in it. There was no card and no one had given it to her.
She took out the movie ticket. It was the latest release of the love and youth movie. She thought that there might be someone, not Edward.
Nelissa didn’t take it to heart until noon. She took a day off yesterday and was late this morning. She had a lot of work to do, so it wasn’t easy.
The beautiful bouquet of roses was placed in a corner of the desk, and the fruit cell phone next to it rang.
Nelissa looked at the computer and picked up her phone without turning her eyes. Her fingers slipped and she picked up the phone naturally. “Hello.”
…
“I, Jordan.” The bright and clear male voice said his name decisively.
“Huh?” Nelissa was slightly stunned. “Why do you have my phone number?”
“Ask your client for it,” Jordan said.
The business circle was big or small. Their family’s business in the hotel naturally had these connections. If they were willing, they would always ask. “I am now downstairs in your company. I want to invite you to have lunch. Come down.”Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.
Nelissa saw that her colleagues had already begun to go out for lunch. She was also going, so she couldn’t afford to starve. She thought that there was no need to refuse Jordan. He was already downstairs, and she had to meet him when she went out for lunch a few minutes later. That was embarrassing.
Jordan was already an adult. He could no longer bully her like when she was still in school. If he dared, she would dare to put a bowl of rice on his head!
“Wait.” Nelissa and Jordan agreed and hung up the phone. When she turned off the computer, she looked at the bunch of roses next to her, then picked up her bag and left the office.
Beneath the company.
Jordan leaned against a silver sports car, wearing a tailored formal black suit. The handsome sports car was very eye-catching.
Nelissa walked over. Jordan opened the car door and Nelissa got into the car.
A few colleagues who knew Nelissa saw it and thought that Jordan was Nelissa’s rumored long-distance boyfriend. He was really rich and handsome. He was not the fat upstart they imagined!
Jordan turned the steering wheel and wanted to please Nelissa with all his heart. “I know that there’s a new Yue vegetable restaurant with a good style. It’s not far from here. Shall we go there to eat?”
Nelissa nodded. “Whatever.”
Jordan sped up the car, and his heart was beating fast because of the warmth in his heart. In the past, his way of getting along with Crybaby was like a cat catching a mouse. She had never been satisfied with him. He wanted to get along well with her, but he had no way to get along with her. Now, finally, five years later, he could get along well with her!
Jordan was more and more confident that he could defeat Nelissa!
There were dozens of big flower baskets in front of the high-end restaurant, which were newly opened. The location and decoration were very luxurious. It could be seen that it was a high-end place, and the consumption was not low.
Jordan drove the sports car into the underground parking lot, followed by a black luxury car, which was parked in two adjacent parking spaces.
Nelissa unfastened her seat belt. Jordan had already gotten out of the car and went to the passenger seat to open the door for the lady. Nelissa couldn’t help but feel that he had really changed a lot. He had never been so gentlemanly when he was with his seniors in school, but the way he looked at her…
Nelissa got out of the car with her bag, and the door of the black luxury car next to her was also opened at this time. The men’s leather shoes came out, and their beautiful hands were on the door, with a bright diamond watch on their wrists.
Nelissa took a deep breath. This watch… This morning, when Edward sent her back to the company, he asked her to help him put it on. Otherwise, he would not let her get out of the car. She lowered her head with a red face. For the first time, she helped the man put on the watch. Her fingertips gently touched his sturdy wrist, the throbbing of his veins, and the blue veins of the man’s strength.
She was very sexy.
After putting on her watch, Edward held the back of her head and kissed her. After a while, she got out of the car.
It was this dazzling diamond star watch!
Edward looked into Nelissa’s eyes, which were unusually cold and sinister. He slammed the door shut with a loud smack, causing Nelissa’s heart to tremble. For some reason, she felt a sense of guilt as she avoided the deep gaze that was flowing through her and Jordan. It was as if her husband had caught her cheating on the spot!
She found an explanation for herself.
After all, she had only slept with him this morning. Her attitude towards this man was somewhat different. She knew very well that he was the father of Noelle for Nathan. She knew that he was interested in her, which was why she had such a guilty conscience.
When Jordan heard the loud sound of the car door being slammed shut, he also noticed the noble-looking Edward. He took the initiative to greet him. “Young Mr. Hales, what a coincidence.”
Edward was silent for a few seconds before he suddenly took a step closer to Nelissa. Ignoring Jordan, he stared at her and said, “Let’s go.”
Nelissa looked at him in horror. How could he… How could he… be so arrogant!
Jordan’s expression was not good. He looked at Nelissa and Edward in confusion. He blocked Nelissa behind him and said to Edward, “Young Mr. Hales, she’s someone I’ve invited.”
Nelissa silently took a few steps back, afraid that they would fight. Edward and Jordan were not good-tempered people. They were all men who wanted to get their hands on the woman they liked and could only be bullied by themselves.
Compared to Edward, Jordan was a little more reserved. Because he was still young, he was not brave enough.
Nelissa was thankful for Jordan’s young age. Otherwise, she would have gone mad if she had to avoid one of his and Edward’s men.
