Returning With A Thousand Favors novel Chapter 217

Chapter 217 

“I was wondering why you suddenly called to ask me to attend your company’s annual party. Do you want me to support you, don’t you?” 

After hearing Jessica’s words, Marina suddenly laughed. 

Jessica knew that Marina was not a star–chaser. 

Hence, when hearing what Jessica had said just now, Marina felt that it was a little strange. 

It turned out that Jessica wanted to ask her for help. 

“I’m not asking you to help me with anything. It’s just that… I’ll feel especially at ease when you are beside me.” Jessica tightened her grip on the cell phone. 

She did not know when Marina had become her mainstay. 

The two of them were clearly about the same age. 

However, Jessica could not help but rely on Marina. 

“I see. Send me the time and address. I’ll be there on time tomorrow night.” Marina naturally understood what Jessica meant, so she smiled and replied. 

“All right, I’ll send them to you later!” Jessica raised her voice after she heard Marina agree. 

After hanging up, Marina received a message from Jessica soon. 

The message contained the time and address. 

Marina continued with her work at hand after replying. [Received]. 

That organization was well–hidden, so she had to dig deeper. 

The next night, Marina specially arrived at the annual party venue an hour earlier. 

Jessica was standing at the door to receive the guests. 

Tonight, she was charming. 

Her originally long and straight black hair had been styled tonight. 

Now she had a particularly feminine wavy hairstyle. 

She was wearing a light blue gown. 

The makeup on her face must have been specially done by a professional makeup artist. 

It highlighted all her advantages. 

Though Jessica was standing in the middle of so many beautiful female celebrities, she was not inferior at all. 

More importantly, her social phobia seemed to have been not as serious as before. 

She was still a little nervous when others came to talk to her. 

But at least she was able to communicate normally with people now, and she no longer stuttered when she spoke. 

Marina hadn’t expected Peter to have the ability to train Jessica to become like this. 

“Hello, beautiful lady. I was wondering if you’d have time tonight. Would you like to spend a romantic night with me?” Jessica heard someone say to her.

from behind in a low voice after having just said goodbye to an entertainer of the company. 

However, Jessica was not scared at all. Instead, she said without hesitation, “No problem.” 

“Oh, you’ve become much bolder now, haven’t you?” Marina raised her eyebrows.. 

Only then did Jessica turn around with a bright smile on her face. “Because I know it’s you.” 

“How could you recognize my voice when it became like that?” Marina was a little surprised. 

Actually, Marina had specially learned vocal imitation. Even her family had been tricked by her many times. 

Moreover, she had never displayed this skill in front of Jessica before. 

“Of course, as long as it’s your voice, I can recognize it no matter what it becomes!” Jessica said confidently. 

It was as if she were looking at the faith in her heart. 

She was extremely pious. 

“You naughty girl.” Marina shook her head helplessly. 

Marina had just said that Jessica had improved, but all of a sudden, she was back to her old self. 

“By the way, did you have this place set up?” Marina asked again. 

“Yes, I did. This is the first time I’ve been in charge of such a big event. I wasn’t confident at first, but Mr. Moore told me to go ahead and do it. If I mess things up, he can make up for them.” Jessica almost let it slip. 

“Peter did a good job.” Marina nodded in satisfaction after hearing this. Then, she praised Jessica again. “You did a great job. The venue is beautifully set up.” 

“Really? Mr. Moore said so previously, but I didn’t dare to believe it. I thought he was trying to comfort me,” Jessica said. 

“Of course, it is true,” Marina said in a firm tone. 

The smile on Jessica’s face instantly spread from the corners of her mouth to her eyes. 

She looked like a primary school pupil who had been praised by her teacher. 

Jessica felt as if she were surrounded by flowers. 

“Marina, the annual party won’t start for some time. I’ll take you to your seat now.” Jessica, who had been a little flustered before, seemed to have taken something capable of setting her mind at ease after hearing what Marina had said. 

Jessica became more confident. 

“All right.” Marina nodded. 

Jessica knew that Marina did not like to be seated among too many people, so she arranged a remote seat for Marina in the front row. 

However, although this seat was remote, Marina could have a superb vision. She could see everything in the entire venue. 

It was obvious that Jessica had made every effort to arrange the seat for Marina. 

Jessica still had work to do. After Marina sat down, Jessica prepared to go to the door of the hall to receive guests. 

However, just as Jessica walked out of the door, a large hand suddenly reached out and pulled her into the corridor behind. 

She was quickly pressed by a man against the wall behind her.

The man’s movements were too fast for Jessica to see his face clearly. 

But, she was extremely familiar with his smell.
