Claiming Her Back novel (Jessica and Lucas) novel Chapter 7

Chapter 7 

Three months later, in Sheraton Los Angeles San Gabriel Hotel.

Jessica and her secretary Wendy had just taken their seats when they heard someone call out behind them, “Mr. Thomas.”

There were not many Mr. Thomases who were qualified to attend this business banquet in Los Angeles. Jessica subconsciously looked back.

As expected, the person who came was Jessica’s ex-husband, Lucas Thomas.

What a “pleasant” surprise!

Wendy, sitting next to Jessica, stood up and greeted Lucas politely, “Mr. Thomas, this is Jessica Hall, general manager of the Hall Group.”

“Mr. Thomas, I’ve long been looking forward to meeting you.” Jessica smiled and extended her hand toward Lucas.

Lucas fixed his eyes on Jessica. She seemed to have become someone else. She looked vibrant. Her wavy chestnut hair, which used to be blond, was worn down on her shoulders.

With a faint smile and a pleasant voice, Jessica looked polite and decent. She looked at Lucas as if she didn‘t know him at all.

After the divorce, Jessica seemed to have been leading a good life.

Lucas lowered his eyes slightly to glance at Jessica’s hand, but he did not respond to her. Instead, he walked away. directly taking his seat.

Jessica wasn’t bothered by Lucas’ attitude. She withdrew her hand and took Wendy back to their seats. Lucas had never caught her attention since then.

Yet Jessica didn’t know that Lucas had been watching her all the time.

After the banquet, Lucas saw Jessica leave and then retracted his gaze with a blank face.

Lucas’ assistant, Vincent, followed behind, not daring to breathe loudly.

Back then, Lucas went out of his way to locate Jessica in LA but failed. Now, Jessica suddenly became the general manager of the Hall Group and greeted Lucas as if they didn‘t have any history.

Judging from Lucas’ grim face, Vincent guessed that Lucas was not in a good mood. He told himself to stop thinking about it.

However, Jessica wasn’t going to greet them.

Olivia looked up and saw Jessica staring at her coldly. “Olivia, you should know yourself better before you slap me. You are not qualified!”
