Desperate Lovers novel Chapter 59

James’s legs are long and thin, intertwining. He leaned against the chair, his voice conveying coldness, “Then you should know that the decrease in share price caused by fake news cannot do a deadly harm to the Harvey Group.”

“Of course.

Harvey Group’s influence on the world is so huge that a little change in share price -- a loss of one to two billion cannot affect it.

But James, you are a business man. It is not worth risking it for a person who is unimportant to you.”

Jessica said it slowly.

“It is indeed not worthwhile for a person who is unimportant to me.”

James put his hands on his knees, the fingers of his right hand moving to and from on his right knee. Many emotions were boiling in his eyes. “But it is worthwhile to get rid of someone who is always challenging my bottom line.”

Silence.

Even a dropping needle could be heard in the office.

Jessica’s smile froze a bit and went back normal after a while.

She went around the broken tea cup pieces, and stepped backwards in her wheelchair, “James, it is not as serious as you imagine.

As I said just now, I did not find anyone to follow you or watch you, which was not necessary for me.

The reason why I came here was just because I wanted to talk about my brother’s engagement next month with you.”

Her figure was reflected in James’s eyes. Indifference was clear in his eyes.

He held a cup of tea and intended to drink it, but he put it back on the table when he thought about Angela’s leg that was full of blisters and scars.

“If you still feel worried about it, I can promise I will never come here without your permission.”

Jessica smiled a little bitterly.

“Well.”

James answered lightly. Not wanting to make her embarrassed, he started another topic, “Did you say you wanted to talk about your brother’s engagement with me?”

Jessica nodded lightly, and said gently,

“On aunt’s birthday party yesterday, Angela went to mess up with my brother.

My parents were worried about it and afraid that Angela would mess up with my brother’s engagement party with Cathleen, so they told me to come to you and negotiate about it.”

“Me?”

The words ‘mess up with’ made James’ eyes dimmer and his chest was like stuffed by something, so he pulled his shirt lightly.

“Well.”

Jessica saw what he was doing. He loosened his shirt with his right hand, “Angela is one of your staff, so could you arrange more work for her on my brother’s engagement day? And could you let some other staff watch her, lest she goes to make trouble again? ”

After Angela came to the hospital, the doctor pricked the blisters with a sterile needle and dressed her wounds with gauze.

Because she was hurt badly, she needed to stay in hospital.

After telling her how to deal with some emergencies that might happen, the doctor left.

“Are you hurt by boiling tea?”

Gabriela leaned against the wall. Her voice was more charming with her rising tone.

Angela’s right leg was almost on gauze. She was uncomfortable because she could not move while lying on the bed. She said “yes” lightly, then she sat up on the bed with her hands supporting her.

“Miss. Jessica is really something. How can she hurt you so badly?”

Gabriela asked curiously.

“Did James say anything?”

Angela lowered her eyes and her voice was very light, “He said I could take a few days off and go to work when my wound is recovered.”

“Didn’t he say anything to Miss. Jessica?”

Gabriela’s back left the wall and bent over to ask curiously.

Angela raised her eyes and took a glance at her. After a long time, she said, “No.”

“It is really hard to guess what a man is thinking about.”

Gabriela straightened up and said.

Angela did not know what she meant. She did not want to know it. She curled her lips and said with embarrassment,
