Jessica got out of the car and walked along the sidewalk for a while until she could no longer see Lucas' car.
Jessica called Wendy and asked her to come over to pick her up. She sent her location to Wendy. Jessica then waited for Wendy on the roadside. It wasn't cold at night in LA, but Jessica felt cold when the breeze blew on her face. Jessica reached out to touch her face, only to find that she had shed tears at some point. Jessica thought she had already left everything behind. Yet her feelings for Lucas had been lasting for years. It wasn't that easy to let go of them. Jessica did not understand what Lucas meant. Jessica preferred Lucas to be the jerk he had always been. Olivia waited for half an hour at the entrance of the restaurant alone before she realized that Lucas had not informed the driver. She didn't have her phone with her, so she could only ask the waiter to call her family, feeling quite embarrassed. By theThat night, Jessica slept very uneasily, and she dreamed of Lucas again. The scenes in her dream switched between her life before divorcing Lucas and after that. Thus, in her dream, Lucas was sometimes cold and heartless, yet sometimes with guilt in his eyes. When the alarm clock rang the next morning, Jessica did not immediately get up from the bed. That didn't happen often. Lying on the bed, Jessica looked at the sunshine through the window in a daze. She then let out all the negative emotions. She decided that neither Lucas nor Terry was more important than her own business. Initially, Megan handed the project in North LA to Jessica because he wanted to teach her a lesson. Yet after Jessica's identity went public, Jessica took over the project naturally. Megan couldn't make things difficult for Jessica. Instead, he had to give her full support. Jessica was capable, and these days, she kept focusing on the project and supervising
Jessica could tell the discontent and query in Hannah's tone. Thus, Jessica hurried to nudge Hannah, motioning her to stop. The young lady standing next to Terry glanced at Hannah, then turned her gaze to Jessica. She smiled and extended her hand to Jessica. "Nice to meet you, Miss Hall. My name is Grace, Grace Sandoval." Jessica could see a sense of pride flashing into her eyes. Yet it soon disappeared. Jessica smiled. She stretched out her hand and shook Grace's lightly. "Hello, Miss Sandoval." "Just call me Grace. That's how Terry calls me." Grace then raised a sweet smile. "Are you going to Cloud Top as well, Miss Hall? Shall we go together? Terry's treat." "I'd rather not. We are not as idle as Mr. Davison and still have something to talk with Mona," Hannah spoke over Jessica subconsciously, regardless of her suggestions. Terry glanced at Hannah. He found what Hannah said funny. "That's rare. Since Miss Howell has a business talk, the
Terry, who was striding towards the entrance of the Cloud Top, stopped in his tracks when he heard Grace's words. Terry couldn't help but frown. Terry turned to Grace and was about to speak when Grace's phone rang. "Sorry, I have to take it." Grace smiled at Terry, and then picked up the phone right in front of him without any intention of avoiding him. However, Terry still took a few steps back to give Grace some private space. Terry wasn't too far from Grace. He could still hear Grace's voice but couldn't hear the sound from the other side of the phone. "Hi, it's me. Yeah, I'm with Mr. Davison. "Well, we're at the Cloud Top. "I see. I see. We are heading back now. See you later." Grace hung up the phone and excitedly walked over to Terry. She stuck out her tongue playfully and said, "It's Davy, my agent. He reminded me not to forget about my work." Terry raised his eyebrows when he heard that. He then said to Grace s
It was Jessica's treat at Cloud Top. Hannah wanted a bigger party, so she called Caesar and Lance over as well. They drank and danced together. Jessica who had been working hard recently was quite relieved and the unease caused by Lucas dispersed as well. On the way home, Hannah, who was already a little wasted, repeatedly confirmed with Jessica that her mood had not been affected by Terry. After Jessica said no, Hannah leaned against Jessica's shoulder and fell asleep. Jessica leaned against the back of the seat and closed her eyes to get some rest. Jessica didn't feel sad because Terry turned to a new girl. Yet Jessica still felt something. After all, Terry had been pursuing her for a few months, and he had helped her out many times. Were it not for Jessica having just divorced and wasn't seeking any romantic relationships, things might have worked out between them. But it was all pointless. Jessica collected her thoughts and focu
"Miss Hall, a call from reception said that a lady was looking for you." Wendy walked to Jessica's desk and said. That meant someone who came here without an appointment. So Jessica did not speak, waiting for Wendy to give her more details. Wendy looked at Jessica and smiled, saying, "It's Miss Cheek." Jessica felt a bit surprised to hear that. She raised her eyebrows slightly and asked, "Which Miss Cheek?" "The younger Cheek, Luna Cheek." Wendy paused for a moment and asked, "Miss Hall, do you want to see her now?" "Where is she?" "In the 11th guest room on the first floor," Wendy replied. Jessica picked up her phone and stood up with a subtle smile. "I don't think there's anything urgent for Miss Cheek to look for me. Why don't you let her rest in the guest room for some more time and we go for lunch now?" Jessica left the Hall Group directly with Wendy and found a restaurant to dine out. Luna's visit made Jes
Jessica chuckled when she heard Luna's words. She really didn't see that coming. "Did I hear you right? What, Miss Cheek? Are you a marriage counselor now? But I still have to remind you that I have divorced Mr. Thomas." "No, Miss Hall." Luna waved her hands nervously as if she was afraid that Jessica would get her wrong. She continued, "I think there's a misunderstanding between the two of us." "Misunderstanding?" Jessica repeated the word slowly. She saw a flash of resentment in Luna's eyes. "Well, not precisely misunderstanding. I did something wrong and caused you some trouble because I was jealous of you. If you are still angry, I apologize to you." Luna put on her usual fragile and timid look again. "Miss Hall, Lucas shouldn't have married you to protect me. That was his fault. But it was in the past. You've been together for three years and there must have been a bond between you two. My family is far inferior to yours, Miss Hall, and Just
Luna raised her arm and pointed to the table. Jessica turned to look. The coffee cup at Jessica's side was indeed gone. And the empty cup on the floor was Jessica's. Seeing that Jessica was silent, Luna turned to Lucas. "Lucas, don't blame Miss Hall. She really didn't push me too hard. It was my problem. I'm too fragile after that car accident." "Why did Mr. Thomas suddenly come to our company? Are you here to save the beauty, big hero?" Jessica snorted as she looked at Lucas, whose face was stern and brows knitted. "Trissy called me." Lucas was working in his office when he received a call from Trissy. Trissy said anxiously that Luna planned to leave LA because she was not recovering well. And Luna wanted to do something for Lucas before leaving, so she had gone to Jessica herself. Trissy called Lucas and told him she feared that Luna would be bullied. After getting that call, Lucas immediately put down his work and drove to
"Lucas, did you see the photo I sent you? Terry went to a hotel with another woman and they were photographed. Did he give up on Jessica?" Lucas looked at the text. His golden eyes moved slightly, but he still did not send a reply. Lucas had just seen Jessica. He could tell that she was not affected by the gossip at all. Either Jessica didn't give a damn about Terry, or she trusted Terry very much. Either way, Lucas couldn't step forward to ask her about that. It would only worsen their relationship. After Jessica divorced Lucas, she disappeared from LA. When Jessica returned to LA again, she was already the general manager of the Hall Group. And just as Jessica began to show her charm, Terry suddenly appeared to announce his pursuit of Jessica. In the past few months, wherever Jessica appeared, Terry was beside her. Almost everyone in the upper—class society of LA believed that the playboy of the Davison family would e
