Oliver's Substitute Bride (Oliver and Jessica) novel Chapter 135

But she was surprised to see a woman sitting next to Oliver. She had a hunch that this woman should be his secretary.

They were talking while eating in the conference room.

But the door was so soundproof that she didn't hear them at all.

The woman was wearing exquisite makeup and her hair in a bun. But the way she looked at Oliver made Jessica feel uncomfortable.

This woman looked at Oliver with admiration and love in her eyes.

It suddenly occurred to her that Oliver had been acting strangely recently, and she couldn't help imagining things.

She quietly left and went downstairs to ask Garfield to take her home.

After lunch in the conference room, Oliver returned to his office. He saw a thermal lunch box on the table and called Simon to asked who had come to his office.

But Simon didn't know at all.

Oliver opened the lunch box and found there were all his favorite dishes.

He picked up his phone and saw two missed calls from Jessica, so he called back.

Sitting in the car, Jessica felt her mind was in a mess. She turned off her phone even without checking who was calling.

She kept thinking that Oliver had been acting weird lately. He didn't want her to overhear his calls, and he came back late every day with a thoughtful face.

So when she saw him having lunch with his secretary, she thought he had a mistress.

She had read some news on the Internet, most of which were related to pregnancy. And she learned that pregnant women's husbands were more likely to cheat on them.

She was in a panic and didn't want to go back to GrandVille Apartments now. She asked the driver to take her to Williams Hospital to visit her grandma.

The driver, Garfield, had received a call from Oliver. So Oliver knew that Jessica had come to his office and left without a word. There must be a reason.

Only then did he realize that he had lunch with Jasmine in the conference room.

As his secretary, Jasmine helped order food for him. They had just finished a meeting in the conference room so they had lunch there. And Jasmine had something to talk to him, so she told her while eating, which could save their time.

But he didn't expect to be seen by Jessica.

Jessica arrived at the hospital, but her grandma was enjoying the sunshine downstairs. It took her some time to find her grandmother there.

Her grandma was very happy to see her, but soon she found that her expression was not good. "Jessica, is everything okay?"

Jessica wanted to say she was fine, but her eyes turn red after she opened her mouth.

She sat on the grass and said slowly, "I just feel like Oliver and I have different worlds. I always stay at home, but he had his colleagues in the company and they can share their ideas. But he doesn't have many in common with me."

Jessica told her a lot, and her grandma knew that there seemed to be something wrong between them.

"Jessica, pregnant women may have many thoughts. You should tell Oliver directly what you're thinking about."

However, she didn't have any evidence. Should she ask Oliver to fire the secretary just because of her suspicion? She shouldn't interfere with his work.

Besides, she didn't know anything about the company.

Then she told her grandma about her learning drawing from Hayden. After spending the afternoon with her grandmother, she felt much better.

In the evening, she had dinner with her grandmother in the hospital before she went back.
