Oliver's Substitute Bride (Oliver and Jessica) novel Chapter 136

Oliver kissed Jessica on the forehead, then went to the bathroom.

Jessica heard the sound of water coming from the bathroom and felt sad.

This man didn't want to have sex with her.

Oliver came out of the bathroom and went to bed.

They had their backs to each other, each with their own thoughts.

Oliver soon fell asleep. Jessica turned around and looked at the man's sleeping face. When he fell asleep, he was still frowning.

She wanted to retrieve memories of making out with him. However, the more she wanted to remember, the more confused she became.

The man suddenly turned sideways and reached out to her, unconsciously trapping her in his arms.

Jessica was afraid of waking him up, so she didn't dare to move. Unconsciously, she fell asleep.

The next day, Oliver arrived at the office. The first thing he did was ask Simon to find a position for Jasmine in the European branch.

The welfare benefits were based on local standards, and there was an additional overseas allowance.

Compared to her current position, the new one was better.

When Simon told Jasmine the news, she didn't look very happy.

Simon said, "You can think about it. Even if you work overseas, it will be after the Spring Festival. This is a rare opportunity for newcomers."

"Thank you, Simon. I'll think about it."

Jasmine really couldn't figure it out. Yesterday, she was still discussing the next year's work plan with him. But the next day, he decided to assign her abroad. She felt great working for Oliver, and she didn't want to leave Oliver.

During the lunch break, Jasmine knocked on the door of the president's office.

Jasmine came in and said directly, "Mr. Williams, is there anything wrong with my work? Why did you send me to Europe?"

"We're training future management personnel for the company. You are more suitable, so I chose you."

Jasmine whispered, "Mr. Williams, I don't want to be a part of the management personnel. I like the administrative work now. It's good."

Oliver said coolly, "So you don't want to go to Europe?"

"No, Mr. Williams, I..." Jasmine stammered. She couldn't just tell Oliver what she really thought. If she did so, she would have to pack up and leave.

"If you agree, you will be on duty after the Spring Festival holidays. If you don't agree, go to the personnel department and hand in your resignation report. The company will compensate you according to the legal documents."

Jasmine was stunned, not expecting Oliver to be so cruel.

She took a deep breath. "I'm sorry, Mr. Williams. I'll follow the company's arrangement."

Jeff, the chairman of the Williams Group who had already retired, rarely came to the company.

Ever since Oliver broke up with him because of Jessica, he came to the company much more frequently.

Today was the day the Williams Group signed a contract with the Scott Group. Jeff personally took charge and appointed Lambert as the representative of the Williams Group.

The representative of the Scott Group was Scott.

After the negotiations among the Williams Group, the Scott Group, and the Zamani Group, the land that the Zamani Group sold to the Scott Group was finally going to be taken over by the Williams Group.

When signing the land sale contract, the Zamani Group set a special agreement on the priority.

Aaron would rather sell it to Scott at a lower price than sell it to Oliver. His intention was to bring trouble to Oliver.

Therefore, although the land was sold to the Scott Group, the Scott Group couldn't transfer the land randomly without the permission of the Zamani Group in the coming ten years. The specific terms of rights and responsibilities were clearly listed by the lawyer.

In the end, the Scott Group lost some money to the Zamani Group. The Williams Group bought the land they wanted, but they had to allow the Scott Group to invest in Williams Hospital.

That was the fastest way for the Scott Group to engage in the livelihood economy of Birmingham.

Oliver originally did not agree to let the Scott Group's fund enter Williams Hospital, but Jeff decided to buy that land in order to pave the way for Lambert in the Williams Group.

After the signing ceremony, Oliver, the president, did not attend the reception. Instead, Lambert was the key figure of the reception.

Through this matter, the whole Williams Group knew that Lambert had returned to the company. As soon as he was back, Lambert had made great contributions to retrieve the land that was lost while Oliver was in charge.

When Jessica was surfing the Internet at home, she saw the news of the Williams Group. There was no news of Oliver in the text records or pictures.

Even Oliver's grandpa Jeff was present. That should be a big deal for the Williams Group, but Oliver, who represented the Williams Group, was not there.

Jessica realized that something bad must have happened. Could she have wronged him?

He did encounter difficulties in the company. Even if he told her about it, it would only make her worried. She could offer no help.

In the evening, Oliver went home early.

During dinner, Jessica casually mentioned that she had seen the news of the Williams Group signing a contract online. She wanted to see Oliver's reaction.

The man said coolly, "The media is exaggerating. It's a normal press release."

At night, Jessica accompanied the man in his study while he was working.

Simon came to look for Oliver, so she went downstairs and went for a walk in the yard.

She paced back and forth around Simon's car. When she saw Simon come out, she stood by the car and waited for him.

Simon saw Jessica and said, "Madam, it's a little cold outside. You'd better go upstairs."

"Well, I don't feel cold." She said, "Simon, are you still looking for Mr. Williams at this late hour? Is there anything wrong with the company? He hasn't been eating well recently and hasn't slept well. I'm afraid that the workload is too heavy for him to deal with."

"Madam, don't worry. Mr. Williams can handle the affairs."

Simon thought that the most strange thing in the company recently was that Oliver transferred Jasmine to a branch in Europe.

Later, he asked Oliver specifically. It turned out that Oliver was seen eating with Jasmine, and Jessica was unhappy about it.

"Madam, Mr. Williams has already transferred Jasmine to work abroad." Simon wanted to tell Jessica the news so that she could relax. He was afraid that Oliver didn't speak out to comfort Jessica.

Jessica was actually not worried about it. When Simon said that, she smiled awkwardly. "I see. Thank you."

Jessica went upstairs and saw Oliver sitting in front of the computer, staring intently at the computer screen. The light in the room was dim, and the screen emitted a faint blue light. It shone on his handsome face.

Probably she had been watching him for too long, so she caught the man's attention.
