'Did she run away from the wedding?' That was the first thought that came into Jessie's head.
She quickly turned around and closed the door.
Even though she had not expected Hestia to do something like this, Jessie's first reaction was to cover for her.
Jessie guessed that Hestia had not been gone for long. If she was caught now, it was highly likely that she would be brought back, and that was something she did not want to happen.
Someone knocked on the door, and Jessie froze. She forced herself to calm down and asked, "Who is it?"
She walked up to the door and the person said, "There are several new sets of jewelry that just arrived. They match well with today's wedding dress. Mr. Tucker wants to bring them for Ms. Deschamps to pick out if she likes any."
Hearing this, Jessie breathed a sigh of relief. She walked over and opened the door slightly. "Just give them to me. Hessy said she was a bit tired and wanted to rest for a while."
The attendant did not doubt her and handed the things to Jessie before leaving.
Jessie closed the door and felt relieved that it was not Nathaniel who came over. Jessie had already seen through Nathaniel's true nature after meeting him a few times. He was not the charming gentleman he appeared to be on the surface.
There was an old saying that the fiercer the dog, the less it barked, and that was exactly how Nathaniel was. Despite appearing harmless on the surface, he was actually very dangerous.
Jessie sighed and put down the tray with the jewelry.
Although she did not specialize in jewelry design, as a designer herself, she could tell that these items were definitely not cheap. Despite Nathaniel being dangerous, she could see that he still had some genuine affection for Hesper.
