Unexpected Fiancée novel Chapter 63

Chapter 63: The Spokespeople

In the following days, Jane and Patrick maintained a stony silence, refraining from discussing the incident that had transpired. Jane chose to keep her distance from Patrick, while he reverted to his customary state of indifference and aloofness.

Jane immersed herself in the Ice and Fire project, directing her focus toward its successful execution. To her delight, the project proceeded seamlessly, surpassing the expected progress. Bruce, of course, was more than satisfied with the outcome.

Once the project's samples were within Jane's reach, she contacted Bruce to discuss the next steps. "Hello, Mr. Longman. The Ice and Fire series samples have been manufactured. Are you available now? I'd like to show them to you."

Bruce expressed pleasant surprise, responding, "Produced so quickly? That's great."

Jane felt a sense of pride in the project's swift development. "Are you at the Imperial Hotel at the moment? I'll head there immediately."

"Sure, I'm in Room 808."

Jane arrived promptly at Room 808 of the Imperial Hotel, where Bruce had been waiting for her. "These are the samples of the Ice and Fire series. Please let me know if any improvements are needed."

Bruce accepted the samples and examined them with care. "Great! This is exactly what I had in mind."

Satisfied, Jane suggested, "If you're pleased with the samples, we can start planning the advertising campaign and organize a new product launch event to introduce the Ice and Fire series to the market."

Bruce eagerly concurred. "Go ahead with the plans. I can't wait to launch this series."

Jane was about to discuss potential candidates for the project's spokespeople with Bruce when a knock on the door interrupted her. Bruce asked, "Who is it?"

A coquettish voice from the other side of the door replied, "Honey, it's me!"

Perplexed by this endearment, Jane glanced at Bruce in confusion. He stood up and opened the door, revealing a mixed-race woman with blonde hair and blue eyes. Her tall stature, smooth complexion, and fiery red dress made her quite a striking presence.

"Annie? Why are you here?" Bruce asked, clearly taken aback.

Annie was Bruce's girlfriend, and their relationship was relatively new. She responded with a flirtatious wink and planted a passionate kiss on his lips. Bruce looked a bit embarrassed. "I have a guest."

It was at this moment that Annie noticed Jane in the room. She let go of Bruce and inquired with trepidation, "And who is she?"

Bruce stepped in to introduce the two women, saying, "Jane, this is my girlfriend, Annie."

Then he turned to Annie, awaiting her response.

He then introduced Annie, saying, "This is Jane, a partner at Pansy Group."

"Hello, Annie," Jane greeted with a gracious smile. "Mr. Bruce, since you have something to discuss, should we reschedule?"

"No need," Bruce said, taking a seat next to Jane. "My philosophy has always been work first, so let's proceed."

Jane nodded and presented a document. "These are the potential candidates for the 'Ice and Fire' series advertising. Please have a look, Bruce. Who do you think suits it best?"

"Advertising? Can I do it?" Annie immediately volunteered upon hearing this.

Annie, a film actress, had remained relatively obscure until she started dating Bruce a few years ago. Now that they were a couple, she was beginning to gain recognition. The reputation of Pansy Group was widespread, and being the spokesperson for their advertising campaign would surely skyrocket her value. Annie wanted to seize this opportunity.

Bruce appeared somewhat troubled and replied, "Annie, don't be silly."
