Just as Jessica entered the office, Darcy called her over.
"Jessica, there's a party tonight and you're supposed to be there with Mr. Williams."
Jessica only heard this one sentence and did not hear much of what Darcy said later. She was just a small employee within the Williams Group, helping Oliver, and had never shown her face in public with him.
If someone else found out about their relationship in the future, it would not be good for anyone. She had already thought about it, and she decided to leave as soon as possible, not to cause any more trouble.
"Darcy, I don't have much experience. I'm afraid that if I get him in trouble, I will be killed." Jessica wanted Darcy to find someone else, and all she could think of was this stupid excuse.
"I've already spoken to Mr. Williams. That's settled."
Jessica returned to her seat. After thinking about it, She decided to go to talk to Oliver.
Jessica entered the President's Office and asked directly, "Are you going to a business party tonight?"
"What? Do I have to report my whereabouts to you?" Oliver asked faintly.
"Mr. Williams, this is the workplace. I'm talking to you about work."
Only then did Oliver raise his eyelids and look at Jessica. "Go ahead."
"It's not appropriate for me to go with you."
"And then?"
"Mr. Williams, please change the person."
Oliver held the pen in his hand and twirled it around with interest.
"Then who would be more suitable?"
Jessica thought of Jasmine's admiration for Oliver in the morning, which was beyond words. "How about Jasmine? Mr. Williams, who do you want? I can ask them for you."
Oliver sneered. "What? Do you feel bad coming with me?"
"No. It's just that it's good for both of us."
"Why?"
"If I go out with you, there are too many people surrounding us. After we separate in the future, if someone asks, it doesn't seem to be good for you"
"Do you think I married you because I care what others think?" There was a clear alienation in Oliver's indifferent voice.
Jessica thought to herself, 'Isn't it? It was clear that when we were having dinner at the Williams Family's old residence, the Williams Family was afraid that because of him, the reputation of the Williams Family would be affected. '
Oliver continued, "It's the same for me whether I get married or not. It just so happens that someone wants to arrange a woman for me. I just accepted."
Jessica's face was red with anger. She almost forgot why she came into the office.
"Sit down." Oliver motioned for Jessica to sit on the sofa next to him.
As soon as Jessica sat on the sofa, Oliver got up and walked over. The man was tall and straight, standing in front of Jessica. He had just bent down and approached her as if a feeling of being pressed came over her. "What do you want?" She unconsciously moved back.
After Jessica finished speaking, she saw Oliver pick up a long hair on her shoulder.
She wore her hair in a bun in the company. First, it would make her look professional, and second, she knew that Oliver was a neat freak. As a secretary, she would often come and go to his office. If she didn't pay attention and lose her hair, that would make him unhappy. So she naturally carefully avoided these to happen.
She didn't expect that the man could even catch a single strand of hair on her black shirt. That was really creepy.
Oliver seemed to see through her mind with his deep eyes. "What do you think I want to do?"
