Jessica knocked on the door and then entered the president's office. Oliver was signing the documents and he didn't even raise his head to look at her.
The atmosphere was quiet but weird.
Jessica pursed her lips and said, "Simon said you wanted to see me."
Oliver remained silent.
"Thank you." Jessica suddenly said.
The man sneered, "Thank you? For what?"
"Thank you for not forcing the doctor to operate on me."
Oliver said indifferently, "You don't have to thank me. I keep you alive because you are still useful."
Jessica's expression froze slightly and soon she returned to her normal state.
"I'll work hard in the future. Mr. Williams, if you don't need me now, I'll go out."
"I haven't asked you to leave yet."
Jessica, who was about to leave, paused. "Mr. Williams, what can I do for you?"
"You take over Catherine's work. Make me coffee."
Jessica replied, "Okay."
When she came back with the coffee, she saw there was a woman sitting on the couch beside Oliver.
Jessica put the coffee directly on the coffee table. At that moment, Jessica saw the woman's face clearly. It was Alice. She smiled and said, "Miss, what do you want to drink?"
Alice saw Jessica and said coldly, "Coffee."
'This woman hasn't been fired yet? She's really lucky.' Alice thought.
"Alice, why did you come here?" Oliver looked at his watch and asked.
"Oliver, there's a charity auction the night after tomorrow. Do you want to go with me? You're too busy now. You have to balance your work and life."
"I'm married now."
When Jessica came in with Alice's coffee, she heard his words.
Alice sat facing the door so she could see Jessica come in. Alice felt embarrassed and she quickly changed the topic.
"Oliver, is this lady your secretary?"
When Jessica heard that Alice was going to talk about her, she was a little nervous. She knew that she had heard something she shouldn't have heard, and her footsteps became flustered. When she walked to the coffee table, she was tripped up by Alice. The coffee cup in her hand fell directly on the coffee table and Oliver was splashed with coffee.
She didn't expect Alice to do that in front of Oliver. Her face turned pale and she quickly apologized and cleaned up the mess.
"What are you doing?" Oliver snapped.
He stood up. "Alice, I have a meeting later. I'll ask Simon to send you off."
"Oliver, I can go back by myself. See you next time."
Jessica asked a cleaner to clean up.
Her clothes were also stained by coffee. Since the last time she dirtied her clothes in the restaurant, she put a spare set of clothes in the office. So after changing her clothes, she returned to the office to work.
Catherine didn't work here any longer, and the others in the office became more friendly to her. She was recovered from being wronged by Oliver.
Jessica worked hard in order to avoid those bad thoughts, but she didn't know where to go after work.
She didn't want to tell her grandma about her pregnancy for the time being. When she returned to GrandVille Apartments, she didn't even have a bed to rest. Now that she was pregnant, Jessica was so confused about her future.
Jessica went to the nearby shopping mall to eat and shop. She went inside a mother and baby store. There were a lot of lovely baby products, including baby socks and clothes. Jessica felt better after seeing them.
Jessica didn't go back to GrandVille Apartments until the mall was closed.
As soon as she entered, she saw Nanny Daisy.
"Madam, you're back."
"What happened?"
"Not a big deal. Young Master asked where you are. I told him that you should be back soon. And you came back immediately."
"Thank you, Daisy."
Jessica didn't know what that man wanted from her, and she was a little nervous.
The door of the room was not locked. She pushed the door open and went inside.
"I thought you wouldn't come back." Oliver's cold voice came.
"If you don't think I deserve to stay here, I can move out now. If you want me to see grandpa, I'll listen to your arrangement."
Oliver sneered, "That's good for you, right? Do you want to run away after cuckolding me? It's not that easy."
"I didn't cuckold you. That was what happened before I met you."
"Sure."
Jessica didn't know what he meant. She ran into the bathroom anxiously. In this small space, she temporarily calmed down.
When she got out of the bathroom, she saw the man sitting on the sofa staring at her with dark eyes. Her eyes avoided his.
She took out her quilt from the cupboard and prepared to sleep.
Just as she lay down and closed her eyes, she heard the man's voice coming from above. "Who allows you to sleep now?"
