Jennifer confidently remarked, “Well, Dr. Nixon will never find you appealing. A woman as beautiful as her would never be attracted to someone like you. Look at that unruly beard of yours, it's been days since you last shaved. And your hair, when was the last time you washed it? It's truly embarrassing that you have no regard for personal hygiene.”
Despite uttering words of disdain, Jennifer still gazed at Donald with affection.
Donald chuckled at Jennifer's comment.
He embraced Jennifer tightly and playfully brushed his beard against her face. “Oh, Jennifer. How dare you criticize your own husband? Don't you like my beard? Come here, and I'll show you just how prickly it can be.”
“You're so annoying. Let go of me quickly! Geraldine is watching us.”
Jennifer did not expect Donald to be so audacious to do that in front of another person.
Geraldine responded with a faint grin and said, “Go ahead and do what you want. Just pretend that I'm not here.”
After sharing a passionate moment, Jennifer fixed her disheveled hair and spoke to Donald with a touch of admonishment, “Aren't you supposed to be heading back to the office? It seems that Harry is facing some trouble. Can you lend a hand to sort it out?”
“Are you serious? I'm already taking over Filbert's and Yulia's work, and now you still want me to handle Harry's problem?” Donald asked.
Jennifer pinched his cheeks and replied, “Well, you are the vice president, aren't you? Show them your expertise. And guess what? I have a surprise for you tonight.”
As Jennifer mentioned the surprise, a blush spread across her face.
As Donald thought about the lingerie store Jennifer had visited earlier, anticipation fluttered in his heart.
“All right, Darling. You can count on me. I'll make sure to get the job done!”
Watching Jennifer and Geraldine leave, Donald took out his phone and dialed Harry's number to inquire about the trouble they had encountered.
During their previous meeting with the board of directors, each of them had been assigned specific responsibilities.
