Edgar and His Destined Wife novel Chapter 368

Chapter 368 Preoccupied with Work

Jensen took Jean around. Once they were done, it was almost noon. “Do you want to have lunch before going to the branch office?” Jean was focused on summarizing her notes on what she had seen, so she nodded and followed Jensen as they walked ahead.

Seeing her focused and earnest expression, Jensen’s feelings that he had put aside came up again. “Jean, some unpleasant things happened between us previously, but I was to blame for being obsessed. I’ve turned over a new leaf. Maybe we can get to know each other better and…”

“Ms. Eyer?” Not far away from them, Hugo and his secretary were walking over. He recognized Jean at one glance, and warmth colored his usual cold eyes. “Mr. Hugo.”

Jean came to her senses. “Are you here to discuss a partnership with Mr. Jensen?” “Not exactly.” Jean smiled. The two of them talked for a while. At that time, Jensen was snubbed at the side. He clenched his fists and wanted to interrupt but couldn’t.

A secretary happened to walk over. “Mr. Jensen, there’s a document that you have to look at.” Jensen could only walk over and deal with it. Only Jean and Hugo were left in the corridor.

“I see, you’re here to observe.” There was a trace of a smile on Hugo’s face. “What plans do you have after this?” “Jensen said that we’re going to the branch office after lunch.”

Jean was preoccupied with work. It never occurred to her that the man before her was asking her out. Hugo’s eyes sank. He nodded slowly. “Alright. I’ll be leaving now.”

Jensen rushed over in a hurry after he was done. He saw Jean sitting alone next to a vending machine and fiddling with her cell phone.

He breathed a sigh of relief and caught his breath. He walked over and said, “We can eat now. Let’s go.”

“Alright. Thanks for your trouble.”

“No worries…”

Jensen had a smile on his face, but he had been interrupted when he brought up the topic with some difficulty. He couldn’t bring it up again.

As for Jean, she didn’t care about anything else. She only wanted to learn more about investing and managing.

When Jensen was done taking her around the branch office, she rushed back to Eyer Group and said that she wanted to have a meeting.

Jensen sat in the car and watched as she rushed into Eyer Group. The feelings he had grew stronger, as though he had decided on something, and he stepped on the gas.

In the president’s office in Royden Group, Mr. Gibson of the projects department was reporting on work, but Edgar’s expression was cold and his eyes sharp.

Mr. Gibson had silently wiped his sweat a few times. He was wondering if he had made any mistake in making Mr. Royden so unhappy.

Miles stood at one side as he arranged Edgar’s business trip schedule for the next day. His cell phone vibrated, and he glanced at it.

Then, he immediately went to Edgar’s side. “There’s news, Mr. Royden.”

Edgar’s expression suddenly changed. He took the cell phone from Miles, and the coldness in his brows dissipated a little. Since Jean had returned to Eyer Group, he could start his next plans.

“Inform her assistant about tomorrow’s international conference.”

Edgar only instructed as such before he got up and walked out.

Mr. Gibson held on to his project report and was stunned as he stood at the spot. “Miles, I… I’m not done with this report.”

“Mr. Gibson, this isn’t important right now.”

“It’s not important? But Mr. Royden was in a rush to look at it a few days ago?” Mr. Gibson was perplexed.

Miles patted his shoulder seriously, and his tone was sincere. “Which do you think is more important? This project or Mr. Royden’s future relationship? You can go back to work.”

At one in the afternoon, Rachel held on to the conference notice as she knocked on the door of Jean’s office.
