It'll Come Naturally novel Chapter 117

In an office of FX International Group

Edward Mu was commenting on various documents, his pen moving like lightning. His calm and steady face exuded wisdom. His eyebrows furrowed when difficult problems arose, which made him pause here and there.

There was a series of gentle, rhythmic knocks. "Knock knock," Anna swiftly entered.

"Something up?" Edward's eyebrows furrowed again as he asked without looking up. She sounded like it was urgent.

"Mr. Mu, Miss Jessica Lin is here for you. She said it's something important." Anna waited for Edward's reaction, uncertain what his answer would be.

"What did you say?" Edward finally looked up from the paperwork and stared straight at Anna.

"Miss Jessica Lin is here. She said she wanted to see you. Do you want me to show her in?" Anna now wondered if this interruption was a good idea.

"Jessica Lin, what's she doing here? What's so important that she needs to talk to me in person?" Ever since she had made her threats to Edward last time, she hadn't turned up again till now. He didn't know why she reappeared after two months. Hasn't she given up yet?

"I'm not sure, Mr. Mu. But she said she must see you today. Do you want to meet with her?" This visit was unexpected. Even Anna was a little surprised.

"Bring her up!" Edward thought for a moment and made the decision. He hoped that Jessica would know her place and not cause him any more trouble. Otherwise she would never be welcome again.

"Yes, Mr. Mu." Anna deferentially exited the office.

Edward leaned back into his chair and rubbed between his eyes to relax his exhausted nerves. He promised Daisy that he would never be intimate with another woman again. He kept that promise, so he was curious what was so important for Jessica.

Another knock, more urgent than before. This was not Anna.

"Come in." Edward didn't move an inch, keeping his posture as he awaited the entrance of the visitor.

"Mu, I knew you were going to let me in." Jessica Lin smoothly walked in, smiling delicately. The tight-fit clothes amplified her extraordinary curves. She approached Edward elegantly, step by step. Just before she could hug him, his words stopped her.

"Miss Lin, please sit!" His tone was rigid and unwelcoming, entirely emotionless.

"Mu, why are you being so cold to me?" Jessica smiled bashfully, disregarded Edward's aloofness and tried to lean on him. But Edward pushed the chair backwards.
