Oliver's Substitute Bride (Oliver and Jessica) novel Chapter 23

Sally looked cheerful, knowing that it was just an episode, "Let's go and have a rest first."

Looking at Lambert, who was with deep eyes and a bad look, Alice thought to herself that the woman had provoked Oliver. Even if she restored the painting, she would leave a stain on Oliver's heart. She was waiting to see how she would survive in the Williams Group in the future.

"Oliver, we haven't seen each other for a long time. Come with me. I need a change. We can have a chat as we walk."

It was only then that Oliver remembered that he had come here for Jessica. He wanted her to meet his friends Martin and Carl. He didn't expect to meet such a scene. "Alice, I have something to do later. You can ask Sally to go with you."

Hearing what Oliver said, Sally had no choice but to say, "Miss Zamani, let's go change first. You can talk later."

Alice took Zelda and the others back to the hotel to change.

Tina saw what happened just now. She didn't come up to join the fun. She couldn't get into Alice's circle, and Alice didn't remember her very much.

She could tell that Alice and the others were hostile to Jessica. They didn't know that Jessica was Mrs. Williams.

Tina was speculating about Oliver's attitude towards Jessica. She was happy to see him put on a bad face for Jessica in front of outsiders.

Back in the room, Lambert asked Jessica to get a bucket of water. He spread the painting on the blanket, took out a large wool board brush, and gently washed the painting.

"I'm sorry, Lambert. It was all because of me." Jessica found that she got Lambert in trouble every time.

"Jessica, it's none of your business. Don't worry."

Thinking Oliver, who protected other women, Jessica felt depressed.

Soon, Lambert washed the painting and blew it dry with a hairdryer. He asked Jessica to bring the painting back to the scene. Otherwise, it was really weird if one piece of painting was missed in the middle.

Sally had been waiting in the hall. When she saw Jessica coming back with the painting, she understood that the matter had been resolved. "Miss White, thank you for your hard work."

"Miss Saletta, I'm sorry for getting you in trouble just now. But I didn't splash it on the painting."

Sally had seen Jessica several times who gave her a feeling of a friend. But Alice was from the Zamani Family. She couldn't say anything, so she just smiled and nodded.

Oliver just went out, Martin and Carl asked, "Why did you come back alone? Where is Jessica?"

"We have something important to say. Leave her out."

Carl said, "Are you hiding your wife? Is she ugly?"

Martin found Oliver was upset, "I saw Alice coming. Is she here for you?"

"She came to the exhibition, not for me." Oliver shook his glass and said absent-mindedly.

Carl joked, "It can't be that Jessica was jealous to see you and Alice be together, and she doesn't want to see you?"

Martin found it was boring for three men to drink, "Let's go and see the paintings. Since we're here."

Oliver wanted to see how things were going just now. They got up and walked to the exhibition hall.

Jessica was on a ladder to hang a painting. Her hair was pulled up, wearing a dark blue work suit, which made her look more capable. Standing on the triangular ladder, she turned around to talk to Sally below.

Jessica's small face looked creamy under the light. A neat row of white teeth was revealed when she smiled, with a sparkle in her eyes.

At that moment, Oliver thought this woman was extremely beautiful.

As soon as Carl came in, he was attracted by the woman standing on the triangle ladder. The beautiful woman could do such a rough job? So, he asked, "Oliver, is she an employee of your company? She looks beautiful. Introduce her to me."

Martin couldn't watch this, "There are so many beautiful girls out there. Just hook up with them directly. Don't scourge a good girl."

Oliver put on a poker face, "Don't you come to see the painting? Stop talking about women."

"You have a wife. So, you draw a clear line with the bachelor. We can't even talk of women in front of you. Are you whipped?" Carl lifted his chin to Martin, "We'll keep it a secret from Jessica, right, Martin?"

Carl's voice was a little loud in the exhibition hall, and even Sally could hear these words clearly.

When Jessica heard the voice, she went down the ladder.

Sally saw Oliver coming over, "Mr. Williams, the problem with the painting has been solved. Jessica of your company is good at handling things. Now everything is fine."

Oliver watched Jessica move the ladder. She glanced at him and left.

Sally saw that the problem had been solved and also said goodbye to him.

Carl watched the beautiful woman leave and asked, "Haven't you established your authority in the company yet? Even an employee left without even saying goodbye to you."

Oliver sneered and said, "You guys just enjoy the exhibition."

Unlike the pervert Carl, Martin kept staring at the leaving Sally.

Carl said, "Martin, what are you looking at?"

"Nothing. I think I saw someone I know."

Jessica looked at her watch. It was time for her to get off work. After standing all day, her feet were almost swollen. She wanted to go back to the hotel room as soon as possible to rest.

She took out her room card and opened the door. As soon as she lay on the sofa, she heard a knock on the door.

She stood at the door and asked, "Who is it?"

She didn't hear anyone answer, so she didn't open the door.

She had just sat down when someone knocked on the door again.
