Contract Marriage: My Sweet Bossy Wife novel Chapter 96

Lorenzo answered almost in seconds, which surprised Jessica. He seemed to focus on his phone 24/7.

Lorenzo was silent for a long time. Finally, Jessica spoke.

"Mr. Fletcher, why don't you talk, huh?"

Jessica mimicked Lorenzo.

"I thought you didn't want to see me, let alone calling me."

Lorenzo's voice was husky and deep and somewhat subdued.

"What!"

Jessica curled her mouth. "Well, now you know what's going on. That night was really scary and embarrassing."

Jessica murmured.

The girl noticed that Jessica was sitting on the sofa in the waiting hall and talking on her phone in an affectedly sweet voice with complaint.

Although she didn’t know who Jessica was talking to, she knew what’s going on. She’s a naive little girl anyway.

Why was Jessica running after their CEO? She was talking to her beloved now! Well, people who were unfaithful in love were everywhere. ‘If the girl is really playing with our CEO, I will stop her in her tracks,’ she thought.

About 20 minutes later, a luxury customized commercial car stopped at the gate of the Fletcher Group. Levi, the special assistant of the CEO, got out quickly, opened the back door respectfully and nodded.

"Wow! Look! It's Mr. Fletcher!" The girl was so excited that her voice cracked. Her words caused an uproar.

The group's senior managers who had been informed came to the lobby and got ready to welcome their CEO.

Jessica did not get up but kept looking silently toward the gate. She gave a scornful laugh. People were launching a campaign. It must be a welcome for Lorenzo. Before she could finish whispering, Lorenzo appeared not far away.

Lorenzo had returned home. His assistant was removing the suitcases from the trunk and followed him respectfully not far behind. He was dressed in a gray suit, with a cool and aloof face and that made him irresistible but forbidding.

"Mr Fletcher, you..." As Lorenzo walked into the Fletcher Group, an executive came out to greet him.

The executive was stopped by special assistant Levi and he motioned him to shut up. How dare he swim against the tide?

The executive covered his mouth with his hands. The attention of the staff was focused on Lorenzo. They didn't know who he's talking to. Judged by the his serious face, it must be another big business.

Hearing Jessica’s affectionate sweet complaint, Lorenzo stopped walking.

Lorenzo stopped, leaving all employees bewildered who bowed with caution.

"Jessica, I'm sorry about what happened that night..." Lorenzo lowered his eyes with a serious face.

"Mr. Fletcher, how proud you are to apologize on the phone. It's not sincere at all." Jessica was sitting not far away, looking at Lorenzo, seeing all the changes on his face.

"Jessica, let me talk to you face to face. Wait for me." Lorenzo clenched his phone, with his sexy Adam's apple moving slightly. He was inexplicably confused. Should he go to see Jessica? Could he hold on? They hadn't talked to or seen each other for so many days.

At that moment, Lorenzo's sanity was shattered by the phone call. Jessica could tell caution, depression and desire from his voice. Jessica was particularly worried about him, like poison slowly seeping into her stomach.

Sure enough, Lorenzo didn't contact her for the same reason she suspected.

"Forget it, you don't need to go to Capttar Medical School personally..."

Don't need to...

"This time I will listen to you and I’ll keep your words in my mind. I hope you are happy. You don’t need to worry about anything else and I don’t want you to burden your heart. I'll explain it to grandma. At the begging, we just agreed on what we needed. There’s no dispute between us and I'm letting you go. I'll send someone to follow up the compensation clauses for you. You..."

"Mr. Fletcher, it is what you do now? What are you, eight? Are you sure you know what ‘dispute’ means? Haven't you had a good night on that thrilling night?"

"Jessica... Do you really want to have this conversation with a normal grown man like me? Or do you think I’m not gonna pester you?"

Lorenzo's voice was deep and subdued.

"I..." Jessica didn’t know what to say at that moment.

"I am not a callous man. I will arrange an affluent life for you for the rest of your life in person. Even if you spend lavishly, you will have nothing to worry about."

"Well, tell me. I'm really curious. How are you going to arrange it?"

"Research lab, pharmacy, jewelry, the Private Estate, exclusive private team, islands... I will give you anything you want. And you can keep the diamond card."

The diamond card, a dragon totem hovering in the clouds, had a purple diamond with the word “Fletcher” in the center. With it, all of Lorenzo's property belonged to her.

Lorenzo was not going to get back the diamond card which represented so much power?

"Is Mr. Fletcher always that generous with women? You gave Leila $1.5 billion without a second thought. And now you're giving me the diamond card. You'll go bankrupt so aren’t you going to marry someone else in the future? "

"You don't have to worry about that. As long as I’m alive, I will guarantee your quality of life."

How arbitrary the man was! Jessica, sitting not far away, didn't know what to say.

"You don't have to go to the Fletcher Group to find me yourself cos I'm in the Fletcher Group. Guess where exactly I am?" Jessica didn’t want to play roundabout with Lorenzo anymore so she just got her straight.

Lorenzo was surprised. Jessica just said that she’s in the Fletcher Group at the moment. But where was she?

Lorenzo looked around subconsciously. His eyes looked complicated, mixed with palpable eagerness. He wanted to find that beautiful girl in his dreams as fast as he could.

People present were confused by what their CEO did.

Lorenzo had always been determined and unnervingly calm. Now he was rattled. How strange it was!

"Jessica, where are you? I can't find you..."

"How come a clever man like you become a fool suddenly? I'm 50 meters to your left." Jessica chuckled when she saw how anxious he looked.

"When did you come?" Lorenzo saw Jessica immediately, who was still graceful. At the same time, her were bright and clear eyes fell on him.

Their eyes reflected each other's shadows.

Lorenzo strode over to Jessica and stopped in front of her.

"Remember, little fool, I won't be behind you. Maybe... I will stand in front of you and wait for you."

The girl at the front desk, who had just been hostile to Jessica, was so surprised to see what she saw.

Oh my God!

This girl was talking on the phone with their CEO!

What did that mean?

"Jessica, when you came to me today, did you think about the consequences?"
