Billionaire Husband Picks Me Home novel Chapter 23

Jane came out of the club and stopped the taxi on the roadside. After getting on the car, she breathed a long sigh of relief.

She had been in a cold sweat for the last few moments.

She almost had an accident.

Thanks to Jeffery's sudden phone call, she suddenly thought of this excuse and scared Larry.

It was already noon when she got back to the office, and her colleagues were ready to go out for dinner in twos and threes. They all nodded politely when they saw Jane.

When she returned to the office, Tina, from the secretary's department had not left yet. When she saw her return, she had a gloating expression on her face. "Where did you go? Come in, the CEO is looking for you."

Jane froze for a moment.

Looking for me?

Thinking of the life saving call she had missed at the club, Jane guessed that he called her for that.

She pushed open the office door and saw Jeffery sitting in a soft leather chair with his back to the door. It seemed that he had been waiting for her for a long time.

"Jeffery, are you looking for me?" She approached him and stopped at his desk.

Jeffery turned around and wore a cold face, looking terribly serious.

After a while, he stopped reading the documents in his hand and said, "As my personal secretary, you leave the office at your will the next day of your work. How should I punish you?"

"Sorry, I won't do it next time." Jane was shocked by Jeffery's expression. She lowered her head and admitted her mistake.

Jeffery didn't say a word. He stood up and walked to Jane.

As soon as he approached her, he smelled the slight scent of alcohol on her body and could not help frowning.

"Did you drink?"

"I......" She wanted to say something, but he suddenly reached out and pulled Jane over and pressed her on the desk.

Jane was caught off guard and almost fell down. She leaned her waist against the edge of the table and looked up at Jeffery, who was warpping her in his arms.

Jeffery's face slowly got closer and stopped when he was one finger away from Jane. "Who are you with? I don't remember that I arranged you to do the work of meeting customers."

Jane hesitated.

Her mind told her to tell him what had happened and let him teach Larry a lesson, but she felt like she owed him a lot already. Besides, she was already out, and nothing happened, and she didn't want to bother him anymore.

She shrank back and did not dare to look directly into Jeffery's eyes. She whispered, "I took it wrong. I took the wine... and took the wine as water."

Her explanation was not clever at all. Alcohol and water tasted differently. No one would get it wrong. Jeffery obviously didn't believe it.

He looked at her eyes and did not intend to stop. Jane was so guilty of his observation that she could hardly resist.

"Knock knock knock..."

A knocking sound came from time to time and saved her life.
