Oliver's Substitute Bride (Oliver and Jessica) novel Chapter 54

"New secretary."

Aaron took the initiative to reach out to shake Jessica's hand. As soon as he reached out, his other arm was hugged by a coquettishly dressed woman, "Mr. Zamani, here you are. I've been looking for you all night."

This seductive woman, whom Jessica had seen in magazines, was the newly popular movie star, Helen Garcia.

Then Helen threw herself straight into Aaron's arms in front of them. Aaron could only hold Helen Garcia awkwardly.

Fortunately, Helen helped her out. Jessica didn't want to shake hands with this man. She couldn't figure out what he would do in public.

Oliver was drinking, expressionless, waiting for the man and woman in front of him to end their intimate behaviors. Oliver didn't take it seriously, but Jessica felt very uncomfortable and did not know where to look.

After a while, Aaron probably remembered that there were people waiting for him here, so he pushed Helen away from him.

"Mr. Williams, don't blame me. When we were talking just now, you were called away by the mayor and I also waited for you. We're even now. Let's go upstairs and find a room to talk."

Oliver put down his glass and walked straight up the stairs.

Aaron, who was following behind, put one hand in his pocket and one arm around Helen. Jessica followed behind and also went upstairs to the reception room.

The room was spacious. In the middle of the room were three large sofas with a tea table inside and chairs beside each sofa. This room looked like it was for a meeting.

Oliver directly went to the sofa nearest the window.

Aaron sat nearest to the door, and Helen sat directly on his lap. Jessica was stunned to see this. She quietly chose a chair behind Oliver to sit down.

Oliver wanted to light a cigarette, but when he remembered that Jessica was pregnant, he stopped.

"Mr. Zamani, what are you going to do with the land in the west of the city?"

Aaron acted intimately with Helen on the sofa as if no one else was around. He didn't forget to answer Oliver, "Are you interested in my land? I do have a plan to sell it. It depends on the offer."

Jessica knew that the Williams Group wanted to build a high-end residential community in the west of the city. The Williams Group had two lands in the west of the city, separated by a piece of land belonging to the Zamani Group. Thus, Oliver planned to buy the land in the middle. He knew that the land belonged to the Zamani Group.

The Zamani Family and the Williams Family were close friends. Henry of the Zamani Family and Jeff of the Williams Family had always been good partners in the business world. They wanted to let Oliver and Alice get married, but later Oliver had a car accident, and their previous engagement was naturally broken off. The Zamani Family had been feeling guilty about the Williams Family. If Jeff took up the matter himself, the problem would be solved soon.

However, since Oliver was now the president of Williams Group, he shouldn't ask Jeff to worry about the business. In addition, the power of the Zamani Group had also been transferred to the hands of the younger generation of the Zamani Family. These things should be handled by them.

Aaron naturally knew what Oliver was up to today. Aaron did not say he would sell the land to the Williams Group, nor did he directly refuse to sell it.

Oliver said directly, "The Williams Group is interested in that piece of land. Mr. Zamani, make an offer."

When Aaron heard this, he pushed Helen aside and took out the cigarette. Helen Garcia lit the cigarette for him. Originally, Oliver wanted to stop him but he couldn't find a proper excuse, so he just let it go.

Aaron had a few puffs at the cigar and thought for a few seconds. "If Mr. Williams wants that piece of land, it's easy since the Williams Group is rich, so you must be able to afford it, but..."

When Oliver heard what Aaron said, he knew he had other demands. The business was like a battlefield.

"Just say what you want, Mr. Zamani."

Aaron grinned, bared his white teeth, "I think your secretary is good. Lend her to me for a few days. What do you think, Mr. Williams?"

When Jessica heard this, she sat up straight at once, no longer leaning back in her chair. She did not expect Aaron to be so persistent. He couldn't win her heart with money, and now he used her as a bargaining chip. She didn't think she was worth that much.

Her heart was pounding as she waited for Oliver's answer. She was afraid that Oliver would really give her to Aaron. But no matter what Oliver would say, she still had the freedom to refuse. She was only his employee, not his slave.

Oliver heard Aaron's request and laughed out loud.

Jessica rarely saw Oliver laugh. The sound of his laughter made her feel a little creepy.

Oliver said coldly, "Mr. Zamani, you are really not picky. How can you be interested in my incompetent secretary? You think highly of our Williams Group."

Jessica cursed in her heart, 'Am I that bad? I've just been offered a job at a high price.'

Aaron picked up the wine bottle on the table and poured a glass of wine for Oliver. "Mr. Williams, you're not angry, are you? I'm just kidding. Cheers."

Oliver raised his glass. "Cheers."

"I want to tell Mr. Williams in advance. If Miss White wants to change jobs in the future and work for our Zamani Group, you shouldn't make things difficult for Miss White, Mr. Williams."

Jessica scolded Aaron in her heart for deliberately sowing dissension between her and Oliver. It was as if she was looking for another job and Aaron was pleading for her in front of Oliver.

She couldn't sit still and be used as a pawn. She choked and said, "Thank you, Mr. Zamani. I have no intention of changing my job. I will always stay in the Williams Group. I will never leave."

As soon as Jessica said this, the other three people in the room looked at her.

She was a little agitated just now, so she spoke loudly and quickly.

"I didn't expect the employees of the Williams Group to be so loyal. The Zamani Group is really inferior to you in this respect. Mr. Williams, you have always been haughty and don't even care about your uncle. I have long heard that you are especially good to your subordinates. I didn't believe it, but now I do. Mr. Williams, it seems that you not only manage the group well but also manage your employees well."

The fact that Oliver had driven Toby to Southeast Asia was indeed discussed by the upper class for a long time, which made many people see his decisiveness. This young president of the Williams Group, who had just taken office, was definitely a person that could not be underestimated by his competitors.

It was just that Aaron's words seemed to mock Oliver for being cruel and ungrateful.
