However, Oliver always felt uneasy. After all, Toby used to be a leading role here for many years.
Oliver and Jessica went to the lounge.
As soon as she entered, she saw a woman, who looked pretty and coquettish, standing in the room.
Oliver introduced. "This is my colleague, Julia. She's in charge of tonight's event."
Julia came over and shook Jessica's hand. "Welcome, Mrs. Williams. I just heard from Oliver that you are still newlyweds to come here for your honeymoon."
"Thanks for your work." Jessica smiled.
Hearing Julia called Oliver so affectionately, she was a little unaccustomed to it. Perhaps she just called according to the local custom.
She didn't want to be jealous this time. Otherwise, she seemed too stingy.
Especially because of her jealousy last time, Oliver sent his secretary out, who probably didn't even know the reason to be transferred.
In the evening, many of the local colleagues came over, and Jessica made many binous in the evening.
The binous was a custom here. She was no exception.
After standing for too long, she felt a little tired, so she walked to a dark corner to have a rest.
Two people were talking next to her.
One woman said to the other, "Did you see Julia's expression tonight? She seemed not good."
"What's wrong? Do you have any discoveries?"
"Julia worked for the previous Mr. Williams and was deeply trusted. After the new boss came to Holland, she immediately followed him. Do you know why?"
"You mean she's having an affair with our new boss?"
"What else?" The woman said excitedly.
"Is he married or single?"
"I don't know. But I heard that a woman came with him tonight, so Julia doesn't seem happy. She seems to be jealous."
"Sharp man won't have only one woman, right? Maybe they're all open relationships. Who knows?"
Jessica only found it funny. It turned out that no matter where you were, the small talk between colleagues was the source of gossip.
She laughed it off.
It was not good to listen to others' conversations, so she stood up and left.
Jessica walked into the crowd. People talked around her. The familiar feeling appeared again.
Seeing that she was not looking well, Oliver asked, "What's wrong?"
She said, "Oliver, I don't know what's going on lately. I'm always hallucinating as if a lot of things have happened."
Jessica couldn't hold back any longer and told the man what she thought.
'Is she going to regain her memory?' Oliver thought at first.
Uninterested in socializing in the venue, he called Julia aside and instructed her to look after everyone and that he had to go first.
"Oliver, you're the leading role today. The director of the headquarters is here personally. It isn't suitable for you to leave halfway."
"My wife is not feeling well. I want to send her back to rest."
Jessica didn't know that they were leaving now until Oliver said it.
