Claiming Her Back novel (Jessica and Lucas) novel Chapter 130

Chapter 130
That 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 the group as they carried out the project
When Jessica got off work, she felt a little hungry. She felt a bit torn between going home to grab a sandwich and asking Hannah out for dinner when she received a call from Hannah.
“Jess, how was the meal yesterday? Did Lucas make you angry again?” Hannah was not worried that Jessica would have been bullied, but Hannah knew that every time Olivia was around, Lucas was always partial to Olivia
“Make me angry?” Jessica thought for a moment and said, “No, Mr. Thomas wanted to apologize to me. I just listened while he did.”
“What? That bastard actually knows how to apologize?” Hannah’s exaggerated voice came from the other side of the line. “I thought he didn’t know how to spell ‘SORRY.”
“Alright, let’s not talk about him anymore. My project here goes quite smoothly. Let’s go to Mona’s Cloud Top today. My treat” Jessica did not want Hannah to continue asking about what happened yesterday, so she quickly said.
“I love you so much!” Hannah said excitedly. “Come over now! I’m right at Mona’s.”
Jessica was sometimes quite envious of Hannah. As carefree old money, Hannah’s everyday problems were about choosing the right places to have fun
When Jessica arrived, Hannah and Mona were waiting for her. They had been waiting for some time
“Look at that! Who is this? Isn’t this Miss Hall? Our gorgeous lady. I feel so honored to have you over, Miss Hall.”
Since Mona started her nightclub, she always knew what was the sweetest thing to say
Jessica rolled her eyes at Mona and said, “What are you up to now?”
“Miss Hall, I wonder if you’re interested in giving another performance at my nightclub?” Mona pushed Hannah away and went up to Jessica “I’ll share the profits with you!”
“Forget it. Do you think I need your money?” Jessica chuckled at Mona’s idea.
“Don’t just stand at the door, Mona.” Hannah looked at Mona and then said to Jessica, “Let’s go in!
Jessica nodded, and just as the three of them reached the door, they met an old friend.
Terry
And there was a young lady next to him.
Since that dinner, Jessica had not seen Terry for a few days. That was unusual, because he had always shown his face
before Jessica whenever he had the time before.
Looking at the beautiful young girl in front of her, Jessica nodded. It seemed that Terry had a new goal.
Jessica was born in the Hall family, and her mother and grandmother were all top beauties in New York’s upper-class society. Jessica had quite a high standard for beauty.
When she saw the young lady next to Terry today, she thought that Terry had a good taste.
Jessica retracted her gaze and turned to say hello to Terry. “Good evening, Mr. Davison.”
Terry looked at Jessica. He smiled and said, “Good evening, Miss Hall.”
Though Terry was smiling, he called Jessica “Miss Hall” this time. That seemed to be drawing a line.
Jessica didn’t respond to Terry after he had been chasing her for months.
Thus, it was natural for him to run out of patience. Now that he had a new girlfriend, he was supposed to keep a distance.
Jessica found nothing wrong with what Terry was doing. Yet Hannah and Mona both put on a grim face when they saw the lady next to Terry.
“Good evening, Mr. Davison. The lady looks unfamiliar. Is she your new girlfriend?” Hannah could not help but ask.
