“Thanks for your concern,” Ivan replied with a faint smile. “Her husband takes care of her 24 hours a day. Of course, she’s well.”
“That’s good, then.” Instead of ending the call, Spencer continued, “You’d better send some bodyguards to protect her from Georgia Clarke’s harassment. I just passed by.”
“Save your explanation. I don’t have the mood to listen to you,” Ivan replied indifferently. “I fully trust Jennie’s taste.”
Spencer wondered if he was belittled, and he felt somewhat unhappy.
“You trust her. Why are you calling me then?” Then he hung up the phone.
On the other end of the line, Jennifer also watched Ivan put his phone away. Evidently, the conversation had ended.
“Were you talking to Spencer?” She guessed upon Ivan’s tone.
“Can you call him by his full name?” Ivan looked at her solemnly. “Don’t be too intimate with him.” He was jealous but tried to hide it.
Jennifer confirmed that he talked to Spencer just now.
Although Ivan ended the call shortly after exchanging a few words, she wasn’t upset. In her opinion, Ivan was childish sometimes, and she could understand it.
“Heard what I said?” Ivan asked.
Jennifer nodded. “Got it. I’ll keep it in mind. I’ll call him Spencer Lawrence.”
A smile cracked on Ivan’s face, softening his aggressiveness.
The early morning. The Marsh Group.
Linda arrived at her office pretty early. Then she started sorting the documents and putting them into different categories.
After that, she held a dozen files to the president’s office for Finnley’s signature.
The corridor was quiet.
While walking toward the president’s office, Linda wondered how Catherine had been doing recently.
‘Has she let go of it? Has she bought more liquor and got drunk?’
The thought made Linda plan to check on Catherine after work later.
At the corner, Finnley happened to stride out from the office and Linda was absentminded. Finally, they bumped straight into each other.
“Oops!” The files in Linda’s hands were scattered to the ground.
