Unexpectedly, Benjamin would appreciate her.
She pursed her lips and asked, "Mr. Carter, you don't like her, do you?"
Benjamin lifted his eyebrows, "It seems that you've known something. You are right; I've always seen Joyce as my daughter-in-law."
Jessica smiled lightly and that was why he was satisfied with what she did.
"So, Mr. Carter, the reason why you sent me to be Louis Carter's secretary is that you want me to destroy the relationship between Miss White and him."
"Right. Since that you guessed it right. Then I will tell you the truth. I do want you to destroy their relationship and let him marry to Joyce."
Her eyebrow's tightly furrowed and she was still a bit frightened when she thought of the scene that she jumped off the building.
Jessica smiled weakly, "Mr. Carter, I'm afraid I can't help you."
She wasn't that competent since she had stolen the drawings of "Shine Project" and the Wilsons Group was qualified for the next round, which already made Louis so angry with her.
Not to mention destroy their relationship.
Jessica even didn't dare to think about that.
"Don't make decision so earlier." Benjamin picked up the tea cup and took a sip then gave Jessica a profound smile, "As long as you keep disturbing the 'Shine Project, I will be sure that someone would take action."
Jessica felt that she was like an innocent rabbit and was caught into the group of wolves. Besides, there was a tiger wandering around.
Jessica left the restaurant.
She went to the mansion of the Carters group on time as usual.
It was already the fifth day of their bet and there were only two days left.
Now, she only hoped that she could spend the rest of the day in peace.
As long as she won, Louis would let her go.
Freedom was the thing she wanted the most!
Jessica went to the door of the CEO office, took a deep breath but her hands were trembling when she thought of Louis's gloomy face last night.
She knocked the door and pushed the door open.
"I know it. Don't worry, I will ask someone to look for him…"
Louis was holding his phone and talking with someone on his phone.
He peeked at Jessica who was coming inside the office with his dark and hollow eyes.
Jessica calmed down and waited for him.
Since what happened to her last night, every time she saw Louis, she couldn't help trembling.
He seemed to be elegant and kind but he would hurt Jessica the most when she was off-guard.
Louis hanged up his phone and frowned.
"You are three minutes late." He said in a lower voice. "You are a secretary but you didn't do your job well. Am I too easy to be fooled by you or is it easy for you to earn my father's money?"
Jessica was shocked and bit her lips, "Sorry, I was delayed by something on my way here, so…"
"So, you can be late with your own excuse?" He lifted his eyebrows coldly.
His voice sounded that nothing had happened at all last night.
And he didn't mention about the drawings at all.
Jessica shook her head hurriedly and she was afraid that he would revenge on her again, and then she explained, "No, I didn't make myself any excuse. I am late, so I will punish myself."
"You punish yourself?" Louis sneered, "How?"
"I… I…" She was anxious and chimed, "I will mop the floor, clean the washroom."
As soon as she finished her words, she rushed out of the office and didn't give any chance for him to say no.
After a while, she took a mop and bent over to mop the floor.
She was mopping the floor so hard.
Jessica thought in mind that if she could make amends for previous faults, she would felt at ease.
Since she had used some dirty method to help the Wilsons Group, and helped them get the first prize at the first round of the bid, she didn't feel at ease.
Louis was watching her so busy in cleaning, his eyes were darkened.
She was scared a lot last night.
Or she wouldn't be so frightened and cautiously like a bird.
He rubbed his forehead.
As long as she wouldn't infuriate his bottom line, he would turn a blind eye.
Just then, his phone was ringing again.
"Master, I got a phone call from the house of the Carters, and they told me that they didn't find Matthew and Mrs. Carter is so worried that she passed out…"
His eyebrows furrowed, "You go back to the house of Carters and calm them down. I will ask more people to look for him around the city."
"Yes, Master." It was a call from Keith.
"Besides, keep a low profile. Don't startle the police and media."
As long as it was within his control, he would never let him and his family exposed to the public.
"OK, Master… Besides, tomorrow is the birthday party of Miss White…" Keith reminded him cautiously.
"Hold on schedule." Louis answered lightly.
"… Master, will you attend the party?" Keith asked and he was trembling with fear.
Louis lapsed into silence for a second and glanced at Jessica who was cleaning the office, then he said lightly, "Yes."
He hanged up the phone.
In the afternoon, Jessica was lying on the sofa quietly.
She mopped the floor and cleaned the washroom this whole morning, and she was tired.
All she wanted to do know was to lie on the sofa and have a good nap.
She saw that Louis was talking with someone again on his phone.
