Oliver's Substitute Bride (Oliver and Jessica) novel Chapter 29

Oliver turned his chair and looked out of the window. He was a little confused.

The woman had just promised him that she would not do anything inappropriate, but she went to meet the man she used to date. He didn't know which word she said was true.

When Jessica returned to the office, she looked awful. And Catherine saw Jessica's expression.

Catherine couldn't figure out who this Jessica was on earth. She could even handle the situation of yesterday without being affected at all.

According to her understanding of the president, the first person to be fired after this incident was an employee of the Williams Group. Moreover, the Zamani Family and Williams Family had a deep friendship, so he would always show some respect to Alice.

And for Lambert, the First Young Master of Williams Family, although he had a much better temper than the president, anyone who saw his painstaking work destroyed on the spot would be very angry. Yet he did not lose his temper on Jessica on the spot.

This Jessica was not simple. The more complicated she was, the more dangerous Catherine felt.

Although she couldn't get rid of Jessica now, she could give her a hard time. She was here because of her support behind, then Catherine decided to assign all the troublesome missions to her.

"Jessica, come here," Catherine shouted.

Jessica was still thinking about the miscarriage and didn't hear Catherine calling her.

Catherine's face turned red from anger. She walked to Jessica's desk and knocked.

"Catherine, what's wrong?" Jessica looked up at Catherine.

"Sort out the data of the new opening of the hotel in the past two days and make an analysis report. Hand it over to the president tomorrow morning."

Jessica looked at the time and saw that it was almost time to get off work. Obviously, she didn't want her to get off work. Now that she was working here, she had to endure this. This job might be the best job for her at the moment. She couldn't lose this because of her personal feelings for Catherine.

She pursed her lips and said, "Okay ."

This was not an easy thing for a girl who had just graduated. She knew that Catherine was deliberately making things difficult for her. She was a graduate of the school of economics and management at the best university in Birmingham. She had seen a lot of case studies in this area, but time was a little tight.

Jessica had been working overtime in the office until nine o'clock, and the report was only half-finished.

She planned to take the computer back and finish it. If she went back late, she was afraid that she would make the man unhappy. She was no longer single and just needed to care about herself. If she wanted to have a good future, she had to take the emotions of the people around her into consideration. These were the things that the White Family taught her after her mother died.

Dragging her tired body home, she didn't go straight back to her room and went to the kitchen to eat a bowl of lotus seed soup. She didn't even have time to eat dinner.

She saw the light in the study was on and knew that Oliver came home earlier than she did.

After taking a quick shower in the bathroom, Jessica sat down in front of the desk, turned on her computer, and continued to finish the analysis report.

When Oliver went back to his room to sleep, he saw Jessica working and coughed softly.

"You can go to bed first. I still have work. Will I disturb you? If I do, I'll go downstairs to the living room." Jessica said a lot in one go. She didn't have time to explain slowly to the man.

"I'll ask the housekeeper to clean up a study for you tomorrow."

This sentence was probably the most beautiful thing she had heard today. Her face was slightly flushed, indicating she was touched. Then she instantly calmed down and said, "Thank you."

Jessica consciously brought the computer downstairs, in order not to affect the president's rest. Otherwise, the whole company would be affected by this tomorrow.

She drank coffee by cups to keep herself awake.

Finally, it was almost dawn before the report was completed. She was afraid that she had been staring at the computer for too long and could not find any mistakes. So she printed out the entire report and checked it like catching a bug before closing the computer.

Nanny Daisy got up early and saw Jessica sleeping in the living room. Just as she was about to wake her up, she saw Oliver coming down from upstairs.

Oliver reached out his finger and made an "Shh" gesture in front of his mouth. Nanny Daisy knew that the young master didn't want her to disturb Jessica.

He walked over and took out a few pieces of paper from the pile on the desk. He curled his lips. This woman had been working on the report all night. He thought that she was an Eye Candy with nothing deep inside. But the reports she made were unexpectedly wonderful.

When Jessica woke up, Oliver had already gone to work. She looked at the time. 'OMG. If I took the bus to work, I would be late. It would be my fault to fail to put the report on the president's desk before work in the morning.'

She went to look for the Butler Shank.

"Shank, can you ask the driver to take me to work? If I'm late, it'll delay the plan of the young master."

As Shank heard this, he thought the couple was interesting. When the young master left this morning, he asked him to prepare the car and take his wife to work, as if he had predicted that she would come to ask for the car today.

"Madam, I'll arrange it right away."

Jessica quickly washed up, drank a glass of milk, and went to work.

There was a traffic jam along the way. She was so anxious that she kept looking at her watch. The driver comforted her, "Madam, don't worry. I'm very familiar with the road situation here. If we pass this intersection, there will be no traffic jam."

"Thank you. Thank you for this."

Jessica took the computer and stormed to the office. She looked at the time and found that it was a quarter to nine o'clock.

She walked to Catherine's seat and said, "Catherine, I sent yesterday's report to you through email. If you say it's okay, I'll go print and bind it now. Then I'll send it to the president's office later."

Catherine smiled awkwardly. "I came early this morning and revised a few parts. I just sent the report to the president's office."

Jessica's face suddenly turned a little gloomy. After she worked all night long so hard to draft a report, Catherine took all the credit. She now knew that this was the competition in the office.

Catherine, on the other hand, looked natural and relaxed. "I'll make you a coffee. Thank you very much."

In the morning, as soon as Oliver arrived at the office, Catherine followed him in and handed over a data report of the Fox Mountain Residence hotel, specifically mentioning that she stayed up all night to finish it.

Oliver picked up the report and read it. 'Isn't this the one that the woman worked all night on?'

He said calmly, "The report is good. You can go out first."

Catherine turned around, raising a big smile.

'Yes! The president praised me in the face. My position in the office would become more stable.'

'Jessica is a useful stepping stone.'
