Claiming Her Back novel (Jessica and Lucas) novel Chapter 20

Chapter 20 

The next moming, Jessica started working as soon as she arrived at her office. She buried herself in a pile of documents the whole morning.

Only when Wendy knocked on the door did Jessica realize that it was already noon.

“Miss Hall, what would you like to eat for lunch?”

“Would you please pack up a sandwich for me?” Jessica closed the laptop and rubbed her sore forehead. “Oops, and a cup of iced Americano.”

The Hall family was among the wealthiest families, but Jessica just went to a community high school because her parents didn’t want other rich kids‘ ill intentions to reach her.

Thus, Jessica never took what she ate and wore too seriously. Especially at work, Jessica preferred a quick and simple meal.

After Wendy went out, Jessica’s phone rang. She pressed the answer button.

“Have you had lunch yet, sweetheart?” The call was from Morgan Hall, Jessica‘s father.

“I just asked Wendy to buy lunch for me. What about you, Dad?” Jessica leaned back in her chair to have a rest.

“I‘ve had lunch already,” said Morgan. He then said with a hedging voice, “Jessica, are you dating that Davison kid?”

Jessica found what Morgan said funny. “Dad, what are you talking about? It hasn‘t been long since I got a divorce.”

“You know the options are open to you all the time. It‘s just that I‘ve heard some gossip about that kid. I‘m afraid you might get fooled.”

“I won‘t, Dad.”

Jessica hung up the phone and logged in to YouTube.

As expected, someone posted Jessica’s dance with Terry last night. Someone even posted pictures of Terry giving Jessica a ride on Instagram.

Including “abandoned ex–wife dating future heir of Davison family“, “Terry Davison meeting his new girlfriend at night” and so on.

Jessica swiped a few more times, only to find the trending topics changed. All the coverages about Jessica and Terry were all gone.

Jessica chuckled. That was a fast move.

At the same time, in the CEO‘s office of the Thomas Group.
