Claiming Her Back novel (Jessica and Lucas) novel Chapter 17

 

Chapter 17 

“I’m also wondering what you saw in Jessica, Mr. Davison. Are you blind?”

Lucas questioned back when Hari hurriedly nudged him.

Lucas turned around, feeling quite annoyed, only to see Jessica coming back toward the nightclub. Lucas couldn’t help but frown.

Jessica returned because she forgot some of her belongings at Mona’s place. Thus, she returned to get her stuff back. She then happened to hear what Lucas said about her.

The moment Jessica heard what Lucas said, she felt a sting in her chest.

In their three-year marriage, Jessica believed she had done a great job as Mrs. Thomas, even though the Thomas family never stopped picking on her.

Soon Jessica pulled herself together. She walked into the nightclub with her face unchanged.

Terry then chuckled. “Everyone has their own taste. The way I see it, Miss Hall is excellent. Hopefully, she will be the future Mrs. Davison.”

With that, Terry bowed slightly at Lucas and Hari before he left.

Seeing Terry driving off, Hari frowned at Lucas and said, “Wasn‘t that too much? I mean what you said about Jessica.”

Lucas turned to Hari and said coldly, “Go away.”

“You are such a bastard!” Hari glared at Lucas fiercely, then got into his car, leaving immediately.

Lucas lit a cigarette with his head lowered. As the smoke rose, he felt less grumpy and gradually calmed down.

Lucas didn’t know what was troubling him.

The next day, as soon as Jessica arrived at the company, she received a call from her superior, Megan. He asked Jessica to meet him in his office.

 

“Sure, sure.” Megan put down the report and then signed his name on the contract. He then handed the contract to Jessica and said, “The company‘s profits must come first. We can‘t choose such a company as our partner.”

Jessica left Megan’s office with the signed contract. She knew that Megan must be feeling extremely anxious at the moment.

After all, Megan might lose his job if the headquarters had the report.

Jessica snorted. Megan asked for it. That was what he deserved since he played tricks on Jessica together with Watson.

Jessica returned to her own office and started her work. She received a phone call from Hannah during lunch break.

“Jessica, long time no see. Shall we have lunch together?”

“Hannah, we just met last night.” Jessica rubbed her forehead.

“Fine then. Wellmy point is … Do you know that Terry seems to be chasing you?” Hannah said.

“I do. He sent me flowers again today.” Jessica glanced at the bouquet in the trash can and said, “But I‘m not
