Oliver's Substitute Bride (Oliver and Jessica) novel Chapter 36

Jessica felt it incredible. Oliver had many drivers and assistants. How could he ask her to pick him up? "Did he really say that? Simon is the one who helps him with his work."

"Yes, Young Master asked you to pick him up yourself."

Jessica didn't know what was wrong with this man tonight. He had asked her to sleep on the bed, which show his concern, but then he asked her to pick him up in the middle of the night, ignoring that she was pregnant and needed to have a good rest.

"Ask the driver to get the car ready. I'll be right down."

The driver drove Jessica to the club.

It was Jessica's first time here. According to the sign, she took the elevator upstairs and found room 6868.

She knocked on the door but no one answered. Maybe nobody had heard the knock.

Jessica hesitated at the door for a while. Just as she was about to leave, she saw Alice walking towards her.

"Jessica? What are you doing here?"

Alice looked at Jessica with disdain.

"Good evening, Miss."

"You work for Mr. Williams during working hours, but you don't need to follow your boss after work, right? If Oliver knows it, he will kick you out of the Williams Group immediately."

"Sorry, I went to the wrong place."

Then Jessica bypassed Alice and was about to leave here.

"Since you're here, don't leave. As Oliver's secretary, you should at least help him drink a few glasses of wine."

As soon as Alice pushed the door open, a strong smell of alcohol directly came into Jessica's nostrils, making her feel sick.

Jessica had to put down her hand that had been covering her mouth. She saw that there were many men and women in the room. Besides Oliver and Alice, she didn't know anyone else.

She had seen some of them before during the opening ceremony of the Fox Mountain Residence.

"Who is this?" Someone asked.

"She is Oliver's secretary."

"Mr. Williams, we asked you to call your wife here, but why did you ask your secretary here? It seems that we should punish you with more drinks. How mysterious your wife is! You didn't even invite us to attend your wedding."

Oliver lay on the sofa with eyes closed, without answering. No one knew if he was drunk or fell asleep.

Alice picked up the whiskey on the table and gave Jessica a glass. "Jessica, have a drink."

Jessica was pregnant and couldn't drink any alcohol at all. "Sorry, Miss, I can't."

"Are you a weak drinker, or are you deliberately embarrassing me?"

"Can I replace it with water?" Jessica saw a few bottles of water on the table, unscrewed one of them, and poured herself a cup of water.

"Jessica, we're not in the Williams Group, and it's not working time. Oliver will not protect you. Since you're here, you have to drink this whiskey."

Carl, who was beside Oliver, wanted to stop Alice. He walked to Jessica and said, "Alice, we're here to celebrate Mr. Williams' wedding, don't ruin the atmosphere. If Miss White can't drink, let me drink it for her."

"No." Alice wanted to stop him, but Carl had already gulped it down.

"All right, you guys sit down."

"Carl, you want to hook up with Oliver's secretary?"

"Come on, Alice, don't ruin my relationship with Mr. Williams."

"Jessica, Carl has drunk it for you. Since you're here, give us a show to celebrate Mr. Williams's wedding. You can't refuse this time."

Jessica looked at Oliver, who had been laying on the sofa. She knew that he was not asleep and hoped that he could stop Alice's request, but he did not do anything.

She had been annoyed at being woken up in the middle of the night, but she still came here to pick up this man. However, the man acted like a stranger when his friends humiliated her.

Jessica said directly, "I'm sorry. I have work tomorrow. I gotta go."

She was about to walk to the door but Alice was already standing in front of her. "Jessica, you gotta be kidding me. Tomorrow is Saturday. Have you hidden your identity and been a part-time worker?"

Jessica's mind had been in a daze recently. It was an excuse to leave, but Alice didn't let her go.

"That's none of your business."

Alice brought another glass of whiskey. "You seem to want me to feed you the drink."

Then Alice was about to pour whiskey directly into Jessica's mouth.

Jessica grabbed the glass and threw it on the ground.

"What the f*ck did you do?" Alice raised her arm as she spoke with a ferocious look. She wanted to slap Jessica.

But Oliver grabbed her hand before she could slap Jessica. She didn't know when did he stand behind her.

"Enough," Oliver yelled at her.

Alice pretended to sob. "Oliver, you're still protecting her."

"Carl, send Alice back."

"You should send her back since you've made her cry. I'll send Jessica back." Carl smiled evilly. He had asked Oliver to introduce Jessica to him, but Oliver wasn't willing to. Carl felt Oliver so stingy because he even didn't introduce his employee to him. Today was a good opportunity, and he couldn't let it go.

"Are you insane?"

"Alice doesn't want me to send her back."

Martin, who had been sitting in the corner, quietly watched what happened in the room, with a slight smile on his lips.

"Martin." Then he was suddenly called by Oliver.

"It's none of my business."

"Send Jessica back."

"Why Martin but not me?" Carl asked unhappily.

"Don't you think you're noisy?" Oliver glared at Carl.

Carl smiled helplessly. "Well, fine."

Martin opened the door. "Miss White, let's go."

Jessica found Martin was very polite, and he was the one who looked more like a good person among Oliver's friends.

"Thank you."

"Miss White, I'll take you home."

Jessica didn't want Martin to know about her relationship with Oliver.

"Thank you, but I've already called a car. You don't have to take me home. Thank you."

"Okay."

Martin saw Jessica get into a Rolls-Royce. It was Oliver's car.

"I didn't expect that."
