When Jessica saw Brenda, who was energetic-looking with a graceful smiling showed up in public, she couldn’t help recalling Brenda’s crying face on the cruise that night.
But it was just a few days ago, everything was changing.
Since last night Brenda showed Jessica that Louis was sleeping soundly by her side, and now she was propagating “Shine Project” in public, all of the facts were proving that Louis Carter and Brenda White just made up.
Jessica felt the sour from her nose when she realized that.
No wonder that Louis didn’t contact her and seemed like disappearing.
He must be with Brenda…
“Jessica, it’s the time, we should get inside.” Terry as her consultant always stood by her.
Jessica was back to herself and nodded her head.
Luckily, Anna didn’t come to screw things up.
She took a deep breath and she found that her mood was so different when she was back to the mansion.
Was it because she wasn’t Louis’s secretary anymore or her relationship with him was different?
She didn’t want to ponder over it…
Because Brenda was high-key when propagating the “Shine Project’, which attracted worldwide attention.
There were supposed to be ten companies on the shortlist, and the Wilson Group was eliminated before but now was shortlisted, therefore, there would be eleven companies competing for the bid.
The rules for today’s bid were different.
The companies had to improvise without preparing in advanced during the competition. Besides, there would be two rounds.
Obviously, the purpose of Louis was to stop someone cheating again.
And the competition would be held in the hall on 13th floor.
Each company got their seats already.
The competitors were ready for the competition and they only wanted to perform well and they emerged as the best candidate.
The second round of the bid began.
The high officers of the Carters Group went inside the hall.
The leaders of each department appeared in person, but Louis Carter didn’t.
Jessica frowned subconsciously.
Facing with the strong opponents and the strict examiners, she thought that it was so difficult for the Wilson Group to win.
But actually, that would be great if the Wilson Group was eliminated. Then she could have more free time and she could distance herself from Louis.
“Jessica, the first examination question is here.” Terry told her slightly. “drawing.” He chimed.
Jessica lifted her eyebrows. “Fine, it’s up to you…”
“Then I will start drawing.” Terry began to draw on the computer.
Jessica’s eyes were blurred when watching Terry creating his drawings since she knew nothing about architecture.
She might not sleep well these days. Then she was holding her jaw by one hand, and took a nap.
At the same time, in the CEO’s office.
In front of the desk, Louis was gazing carefully at the screen and observed what was happening during the competition.
He could see what was happening there through lots of monitors.
Louis was holding the mouse and then clicked open the screen of the Wilson Group only.
He saw Jessica who was holding her jaw with her eyes closed was taking a nap during the competition.
Louis cold eyes were softened unconsciously.
He thought Jessica looked thinner.
And her fair-skinned face was paler.
He couldn’t help smiling when he thought of her angry face.
He could feel that she didn’t sleep soundly.
Louis’s eyebrows slightly furrowed and he knew deep down that Jessica hated architecture, but she had to force herself to face it.
Jessica would open her eyes from time to time which seemed that she was afraid that she would be found out. Then she closed her eyes, and Louis found it so cute…
There was still half the time left for the first round of the competition.
Jessica almost hit the table when she was taking a nap.
“… Are you OK?” Terry glanced at her.
“Yes…” She was drowsy and rubbed her eyes and pretended to be composed, “I am OK…”
Then she covered her mouth and yawned. She peeked at Terry’s computer and asked him, “have you finished yet?”
“Not yet, but soon.”
Jessica pursed her lips and said yes. Then she glanced at the high officers who were sitting in the hall.
Then she waved her hands to Peter Parker who was the manager of the Department of construction.
He had seen Jessica for a few times in the meeting for the high officers when she was Louis’s secretary before.
Peter walked over to Jessica hurriedly and respectfully when he saw she was waving to him.
“Miss Wilson, what can I help you?” Jessica was Louis’s secretary before so that he couldn’t offend him.
Terry peeked at Jessica and asked, “What’s wrong?”
Jessica was embarrassed and smiled at Peter then stuttered, “I, I need to go to the washroom…”
After a nap, now she would like to go to the washroom. Jessica was such a lazy person.
She thanked Peter feeling embarrassed then rushed to the washroom.
In fact, when she was having a nap, she felt her lower abdomen was a bit painful.
She went to the washroom and cleaned her face so as to make herself sobber.
But she felt her lower abdomen more and more painful.
When she was about to go to the stall, the door of the washroom was pushed open.
Then she heard someone was saying in a cold voice, “What tricks are you playing now?”
