Spoil My Lovely Wife novel Chapter 29

In the Meeting Room

There were around 40 senior leaders of the Carters Group sitting in the meeting room.

Though this was the meeting that held annually attended by the senior leaders, because of Jessica’s attendance, the meeting was special.

She even attended the meeting having intravenous drip.

Jessica sat quietly next to Louis, and her face was not that blushed because of the intravenous drip. But her face was still white with a touch of pink, making her skin look clean and soft.

Many senior leaders were attracted by her.

It was creepy in the whole meeting room. It was obviously that Jessica didn’t deserve to be here, but no one thought that she wasn’t OK to sit by Louis. Of course, no one dared to do that.

“Mr. Carter. The Shine Project will be having the first bid at the beginning of next month. This is the bidding list the Department of Architecture chose among hundreds of thousands of companies.” The one who was reporting to Louis was the manager of the Department of Architecture, Peter Parker.

Jessica sat up when she heard the Shine Project and she was focusing on the screen and it seemed that she was checking whether Heyday was on the list.

She had skimming through the screen for three times, and she didn’t find it and she was so happy about that.

Phillip Smith asked for it.

Jessica knew that those who offended Louis would suffer from bad consequences.

Louis glanced at the lists on the screen.

Then he nodded his head slightly. “For the first bidding, only 100 companies should be left.”

Louis answered while he was reading through those files that Jessica prepared for him. Jessica peeked at him and saw his hollow and dark eyes but his facial expression began to change…

In the thick file folders.

The first page, Louis was wearing a black suit and a black sun glasses. A photo that he was going out of the mansion of the Carters Group like a king was stuck on the paper. Obviously, the photo was taken by paparazzi.

But the problem was Jessica printed out his picture and put it on the first page.

Was she taking this file as his photo album?

Besides, the title was: The chairman of the meeting: Louis Carter.

Louis’s face twitched slightly, and he was clenching his fingers…

“Yes, Mr. Carter. Among those chosen companies, local companies of Chicago accounted for only 30% and 70% of the companies were from all around the country. Besides, Information Resources Department has made a detailed assessment on each company…” Peter was reporting to him.

Jessica was blinking her eyes and gazed at Peter kept talking and talking. And her brain started to buzz.

Louis still kept his head down and focused on the files and turned to the other page.

The second page with the title of: List of attendees.

And there was the name lists of the senior leaders of the Carters Group.

It was obvious that Jessica downloaded the employee information from the website of the Carters Group.

From the third page was the detailed information about each senior leader.

The information included photos, resume, and length of employment, the salary even the family members.

The more Louis read, the darker his face was.

“… Besides, according to the preliminary budget from the Finance Department and the analysis of data, the Shine Project has already been so popular before the open lid. Now, the Carters Group begins to be in a profitable position. Compared with the same period last year, the increase in profit is very considerable…” Peter was still reporting.

Jessica was sitting next to Louis still while she was receiving transfusion. And she began to feel sleepy and her eyes were drowsy. She was about to fall sleep.

Louis’s eyebrows furrowed tighter and he was clenching his fingers harder.

He flipped through the files in hand but he didn’t expect that from the page 4 to page 118, they were all the personnel files of all the attendees of the meeting!

Until he turned to the page of 119, he saw his photo again.

That was the photo that he was working by the table.

Louis’s face twitched.

At the last page of the files, there were some words on the paper: That’s all!

“So, the work for the pre-project goes very smoothly and the prospects would be very huge…”

Suddenly, there came a sound of slapping the table.

Peter was scared that he stopped talking.

Everyone was so nervous.

Jessica was also scared and she suddenly woke up.

Everyone was nervous and cautiously gazed at Louis who was sitting at the chairman seat .

Louis threw the files on the table and the strength he gave could be powerful enough to shake the table.

The meeting room was terribly silent all of a sudden.

The room was filled with coldness.

No one dare to speak a work when they noticed that Louis was so angry.

Except Jessica, that silly girl and she said, “what’s going on?”

She frowned and it seemed that she was a bit annoyed that Louis woke her up from her dream. She peeked at his handsome face which seemed to be carved by an artist.

And she glanced at the thick folder that he threw on the table.

She began to be nervous.

Jessica then noticed that everyone was looking at her just because she was the only one who dared to say something.

Louis peeked at her coldly and said, “Jessica Wilson is that what you prepared for the meeting?”

Jessica rubbed her forehead with her trembling fingers and forced herself to smiled and answered, “Mr. Carter, I ….”

She couldn’t give him an explanation.

But she didn’t know anything about architecture. What’s more, she worked here just for a few days, she had no idea that Louis would be so serious about the files she prepared.
