"You have come home. Why are you still so busy?"

Christian frowned. It seemed that he had been staring at her at the door for a long time.

He was under the delusion that she would be busier than him quickly...

"I'm done."

Jessica put her phone away, walked forward and held his arm to walk in.

He had heard about her excellent performance in the bid. Originally, he would like to take her to relax tonight. However, she always surprised him...

She took her group members to relax first...

"You can take me to your celebration dinner in the future."

Unexpectedly, Christian's tone was full of grievance. Jessica kept a straight face and patted his strong chest. "Mr. Maddox, it's not a celebration dinner tonight. It's a malicious dinner. I'd better not invite you."

Christian frowned. 'She is...' "When can you take a good rest?"

"I took a rest and dug out the spy at the same time," Jessica smiled.

"Do you have any target?"

Jessica nodded slightly.

"Is there anything I can do for you?

She had waited a long time before the call was answered, but it was not Christian but Ethan who picked up the phone."Madam, Mr. Maddox is having a project meeting now.

    "Christian!"Christian turned around and saw Grace walking towards him."Let me be your female companion tonight." Grace's voice was charming."Why?" Christian frowned."Because you don't have a female partner. You have to bring a female partner to attend this dinner party," Grace smiled.Christian frowned at her again, "I can attend it without a female partner!"Grace was taken aback by his words. He was right. He was Christian Maddox, and he could attend any party he wanted to attend!Even if he didn’t have a female companion, who would dare to stop him from entering?And the dinner was held in a hotel owned by the Maddox Group...Grace was embarrassed but still didn't want to give up, "Now that I am already here, why don't you take me in? I have been preparing for this dinner for several days! I can’t go in without you." Grace deliberately tugged the hem of her revealing dress to show Christian her beautiful body.This pretentious action made Christian even more disgusted.

I have noticed you for some time..."Jessica felt some familiarity with the man's voice and his words, so she took a glance at him. She saw a European-looking man staring at a foreign girl. "Come have a drink with me, sweetie~"“No. Thanks."The girl politely refused the man in French.But the man kept bugging her. He asked her who she was here with and why wouldn’t she take a drink at a cocktail party and so on. The girl was rather annoyed but she didn't know what to do. Jessica curved up the corner of her mouth. She walked over and said to the man, "Sir, here we meet again."The man darted a glance at Jessica and his expression changed immediately. "Mr. Maddox… Today you are Mr. Maddox's partner again?"Jessica

    Somehow, Grace got into the dinner party. When she saw that Jessica got along well with Vanessa, she was resentful. However, she didn't have the guts to stir up trouble.Jessica saw that Grace hovered in the doorway for a while and left finally.When Christian was dealing with something ahead, she asked Ethan who was behind her, "Do you know the Louis family well?""Mrs. Maddox, what do you mean...?" Ethan was respectful."Does Duke Louis have many children? How about Grace's position in the family?"Ethan nodded nonstop. "Duke Louis has two sons. I hear that he has five or six daughters at least. He loves Vanessa the most and always has her around. He doesn't value others."Jessica nodded slightly.No wonder Grace tried her best to be popular. It turned out that she wanted to be independent.

The emotions in Christian’s eyes surged and he immediately embraced her into the elevator.The elevator ascended.His big palm stroked her back, and his scorching lips fell upon hers.She was too shy to lift her head. Clenching her elbows, she muttered, “There’s a camera...”He chuckled, and his deep voice resounded in her ears, “Well, I will let you go first…”When they exited the elevator, he supported the back of her head with his large palm and kissed her. He maneuvered her body familiarly towards the door of the suite while kissing her.Tick—The door was opened and then shut.Within a short while, the two confronted each other at the door.

He asked with suspicion in his eyes, "Why do you wear so many clothes?""Are you sure you want me to appear in front of Wade in this dress?"She pointed to the nightgown on the bed which was revealing…Not till then did Christian remembered Wade was in his home. He opened the door with a calm face and walked out. Then he saw Wade eating breakfast as expected."Why are you still here?"

    [It's because I think my acting skills are not worthy of your script.]Jessica replied seriously.Hawley became anxious and replied without punctuation. [Don't worry I will try my best to help you and won't urge you]Jessica paused and replied with a smile. [I haven't finished speaking. Hold on.

After I'm sure that I can play the role, I will join in your movie. How is it?]Recently, more films and TV dramas started inviting Jessica. Many of them had great investments and groups.

"Are you going to marry me?""Look, this is all that I can give. Then again, you're not short of money.

    At sea, the anxious Christian calmed down and was relieved finally. He took off his coat and wrapped her up tightly.She looked at him and asked, "Why did you come here?"Christian compressed his thin lips and reached out to smooth her hair beside her ears. It was a little messy because of the wind.Christian had arranged for someone to protect her since she pissed off GL's Neil in France. The nobles all knew that GL's Neil was malicious, especially for beautiful women.As soon as Christian's men reported to Christian that Jessica suddenly bought an air ticket and went abroad alone, Christian guessed that she was going to deal with Neil.Christian was afraid that Jessica would be unable to deal with Neil. He didn't have any time to care about other things and followed Jessica to come to France.Luckily, he arrived in time. Otherwise, even if Jessica dealt with Neil, she would be unable to deal with Jerome. Jerome was not a man to be trifled with."Don't take risks again! If you

    As Jerome confronted him coldly, Christian's narrowed eyes slid out of focus for a second.Soon, he collected himself, and ferocity suppressed the gloom in his eyes. "Before I figure out the entire thing, I'll keep her out of harm's way! Even if someone tells her the truth one day, it has to be me and not you! You'd better stay away from her!" Jerome's face also turned gloomy. "I was not interested in her or those trivial matters in the past, but destiny guided me to meet her. Then I find that those matters are pretty interesting…And the more annoyed you are, the more interesting I find it… Besides, you stole my lines. The one who should stay away from her is you!" "Don't bother. This is between my wife and me," Christian declared his sovereignty once again.Jerome looked askance at Christian. His gloomy voice became huskier and more horrifying. "If she knew the truth, do you think she would still believe you?"Christian knitted his brows as he exhorted in a

    "Christian?"Jessica spun around and did a double take, mixed delight and incredulity in her eyes.Christian made his way to her and took her by the hand. "You're still recovering. How could you run around like this?"Christian's voice was steely. Though he was speaking to Jessica, it was the man opposite her that his piercing eyes flashed at.At this moment, the bodyguards outside the cabin hurried inside all at once. One of them bowed to Jerome and explained apologetically, "Mr. Garan, he's brought some men here... We failed to stop them..."Jerome waved his hand testily and, restraining his annoyance, rose to his feet and looked at Christian. "Nice to see you again, Mr. Maddox." Though his words were a greeting, his face were rather tight."I heard only a few days ago that there's some turbulence going on in the Garan family. It surprises me Mr. Garan is still in the mood for partying," Christian said acidly."Oh, you're pretty well-informed, Mr. Maddox!" Jerome remarked with

    "I'm just a nobody, and all I want is for the job to be done in a peaceful fashion. I have no reason to work against you on my own initiative unless you leave me no choice, don't you think?" Jessica said, her face bland.Having no alternative but to resign himself to accepting it, Neil said testily, "Fine! Get it over with!"A smile curled Jessica's lips as her beautiful eyes moved to the outline for the interview on the sofa. "Speak according to the outline and answer my every question. Here we go."Watching Neil obediently pick up the interview outline with resentment etched on his face, Jessica snickered and turned on her digital recorder.**Twenty minutes later, the interview came to a successful end.Having obtained what she wanted, Jessica operated the digital recorder for a moment and then stowed it in her handbag.Neil had had enough of it.

Neil stormed shiftily.His bawl brought all the girls trotting out helter-skelter...Jessica, taking advantage of the opportunity, took back her phone and unhurriedly put it into her handbag in the presence of Neil."Let's go somewhere else to talk," Neil said to Jessica, rising to his feet and leading the way for the door.Jessica remained where she was.
