Jessica turned around. Tears rolled down her face.
When she got back to the office, her eyes were red.
When Catherine saw that she had brought the documents back, she said with a look of disdain, "Jessica, what did you do? You didn't even finish the job of sending the documents. "
Jessica didn't know if it was Oliver who didn't take the documents on purpose or Catherine who let her deliver the documents on purpose, but she knew she couldn't afford to offend either of these two people.
"Sorry, Catherine, I'll be careful next time. "
She was a newcomer, so no one in the office helped her say a word.
Catherine took the opportunity to bring another stack of documents and put them on the table at Jessica, "This is the data that needs to be reported tomorrow, it needs to be checked by you, no mistakes should be made."
Jessica picked it up and saw a lot of densely packed numbers. She could only bite the bullet and agree, "OK. "
Her colleagues were about to get off work, but Jessica's table was filled with documents. She was definitely going to work overtime today.
As the people in the office gradually left, Jessica was the only one left in front of the computer, staring at the documents to verify.
When she walked out of the office, it was already midnight.
Jessica had already called Chloe and told her that she wasn't going back to GrandVille tonight. She went to Williams Hospital to company her grandma.
Oliver went back to GrandVille, and when he found out that Jessica wasn't back yet, he called Chloe over to ask where she was.
"Mr. Williams, Mrs. Williams went to the hospital. I thought you knew. "
"Call her back. "
If it were any other time, Chloe would have tried to persuade him, but seeing Oliver's face tonight, he felt like he was in a bad mood, so Chloe had to call Jessica and ask her to come home.
Jessica arrived at the hospital and her grandma was sleeping.
When she saw that Grandma was in a high-class ward and was well taken care of, she felt a trace of warmth in her heart.
She crawled next to Grandma's hospital bed and unknowingly fell asleep. She had a dream and dreamed that her grandmother's illness had recovered. She and her grandmother went to the countryside to live a peaceful and happy life.
Her beautiful dream was woken up by vibration, and her phone rang at this time. Jessica picked it up and answered, it was Chloe.
Jessica hung up the phone and looked at her grandmother, who was looking at her kindly.
"Grandma, you're awake. "
"Jesse, why are you here so late?"
"I'll accompany you. "
"Go back, I'm fine. "
Her grandma probably heard her answer the phone and didn't want to make things difficult for her, so she urged her to go back.
"Grandma, I'll come and see you tomorrow. "
Jessica left the hospital late. Williams Hospital was further away from the city, so it was inconvenient to take a taxi. She walked forward and suddenly a car stopped in front of her. She was shocked.
The shadow of being kidnapped by Toby had not dissipated yet. She subconsciously wanted to run away.
The driver shouted, "Mrs. Williams, I'm here to pick you up and bring you back to GrandVille. "
Jessica only relaxed when she found out that it was the driver who had sent her to the Williams' old house.
The driver opened the back door of the car and invited Jessica to take a seat.
She was really too tired today. She fell asleep the moment she got in the car.
"Mrs. Williams. "
The driver called a few times, and Jessica just woke up and found out that they were already at GrandVille.
She got out of the car and saw that Chloe was still waiting in the lobby. "Mrs. Williams, you're back. Sir is waiting for you up there. "
"Chloe, you may go to sleep. "
Jessica's heart raced as she went upstairs.
She knew that Oliver had not slept. In the morning, she had the shadow of entering the office without knocking, so she knocked on the door. Hearing the sound of "come in," she pushed open the door and entered.
"Sorry, I went to the hospital at night. So I came back later. "
"Did you come back late, or did you not want to come back at all?"
She really didn't want to come back, but she was afraid that an honest answer would anger him. She said, "I promised you that I would do well as Mrs. Williams, I will believe in promises. "
"Then just do as you say. Don't do it again next time. When I get home, you should be around. "
"OK. "
There was no storm as she had imagined. Jessica's worried heart calmed down and she went to the bathroom to take a shower.
Jessica dawdled in the bathroom, unwilling to come out. She just had sex with Oliver last night, and it was a little awkward if they slept together today.
Oliver was already in bed, ready to sleep. She guessed that he should have already fallen asleep. Jessica tiptoed out, turned off the light, and gently got on the bed.
A sweet scent lingered around Oliver, and he couldn't help but turn his body around.
Jessica's body froze, not daring to make any sound.
They slept all night and nothing happened.
Jessica opened her eyes and saw a tall figure in front of her. Oliver was topless, his shoulders were wide, and his waist was thin. Although he had been sitting in a wheelchair for a long time, his muscles were still very strong. She was just lying on the bed and secretly looking, but she did not expect that Oliver would suddenly turn around and meet her two shining eyes.
