Chapter 1334 Do Not Be Obsessed Anymore
“It seems you've really grown a lot,” Jessica said with a smile.
Charlotte hummed at Jessica and after a brief chat, she asked her how things were going with her and Kenneth's work.
The Forlisle Group is huge, and she's just a receptionist. She doesn't get to see Kenneth or Jessica during work hours, and since they both have their own families, she doesn't see them outside of work either.
Jessica said, “I've worked on quite a few projects, and by the end of the year, I should be able to receive an eight-figure bonus.”
Benson Corporation is in the real estate business, while Forlisle Group is a leader in the medical field. Jessica, without any relevant connections and suddenly landing a high-level management position, did not find it difficult to move forward.
No matter what project she undertakes, her partners are always surprisingly easy to communicate with, and they even introduce her to numerous relevant connections and resources.
Kenneth's experience was similar; he hardly encountered any setbacks.
Both of them were able to work at Forlisle Group thanks to Timothy's help. Although Timothy didn't mention it, they could understand that he was probably assisting them behind the scenes.
Jessica glanced at Charlotte and sighed, “You say Timothy is so great, but why can't you see it?”
“It's because we know each other too well, and he doesn't like someone like me.”
Charlotte shrugged and said, “Look, I've known him for years and there was never a spark between us. He only knew Johanna for a short time, and they got married.”
Charlotte, afraid of being nagged by Jessica, quickly said, “I know I owe Timothy a big favor, and I'll repay him gradually in the future. He's already married, so you can't expect me to break up his marriage, can you?”
As Charlotte was speaking, she noticed the phone on the table light up. It was a call from Jerry. She swiped to answer it.
“What's up?”
“Did you block me?” His tone was extremely low.
“My dear friend, if I want to delete, I'll delete,” Charlotte said nonchalantly, playing with the fruit on the plate with her fork. “Last time I got drunk, you took me home, and I even gave you a tip for accompanying me to sleep.”
Before the man could speak, she continued, “I never date a boyfriend for more than six months, and you've lasted quite a while. I've never treated you unfairly.”
Among all her ex-boyfriends, she treated Jerry the best. Tips would start at one hundred thousand. Last time on his birthday, she even went through the trouble of buying him a limited edition tourbillon watch worth several million.
Because of that huge expense, she was even scolded by Jiminy.
“Fine, fine.” After a while, Jerry gritted his teeth and said 'fine' twice on the phone before hanging up.
Jessica was right next to Charlotte, and she heard their entire conversation.
Jessica frowned and advised, “Lottie, you're not a twenty-year-old girl anymore, stop being obsessed with men. You're thirty now, it's time to find someone to marry.”
In the past, Jiminy always took care of everything, and Charlotte didn't need to worry about the family business. She could do whatever she wanted, but now things have changed.
Jessica has her own little family, so she can't keep supporting Charlotte forever.
“I've already broken up with him, see? I even blocked his number.” Charlotte showed her phone to Jessica. “From now on, I'll focus on making money and find a boyfriend who's good at taking care of the family.”
“......” Jessica was at a loss for words.
Catching a glimpse of the person Charlotte just added to her communication blacklist, Jessica was somewhat surprised, “Your boyfriend's name is Jerry?”
Charlotte gave a nod, “In the entertainment industry.”
“You always seem to like those male celebrities,” Jessica said as she shifted her gaze away.
But she always felt that she had heard this name somewhere before, and it wasn't from a movie or an advertisement, but from someone's mouth.
However, Jessica couldn't remember it at the moment.
As December approached, Jadeborough grew increasingly colder.
After the two children had their weekend off, it just so happened that Armand didn't have much to do either, so he could take a break over the weekend. Genevieve suggested going to a hot spring holiday resort for some fun.
Genevieve wants to take Johanna with her.
Timothy is afraid of crowded places, and Johanna feels uncomfortable staying there. It's fine for her to take Asel with her.
