Chapter 47 Look For His Son Around The City
Chapter 47 Look for His Son Around the City
Unexpectedly, Benjamin would appreciate her.
She pursed her lips and asked, "Mr. Carter, you don't like her, do you?"
Benjamin lifted his eyebrows, "It seems that you've known something. You are right; I've always seen Joyce as my daughter-in-law."
Jessica smiled lightly and that was why he was satisfied with what she did.
"So, Mr. Carter, the reason why you sent me to be Louis Carter's secretary is that you want me to destroy the relationship between Miss White and him."
"Right. Since that you guessed it right. Then I will tell you the truth. I do want you to destroy their relationship and let him marry to Joyce."
Her eyebrow's tightly furrowed and she was still a bit frightened when she thought of the scene that she jumped off the building.
Jessica smiled weakly, "Mr. Carter, I'm afraid I can't help you."
She wasn't that competent since she had stolen the drawings of "Shine Project" and the Wilsons Group was qualified for the next round, which already made Louis so angry with her.
Not to mention destroy their relationship.
Jessica even didn't dare to think about that.
"Don't make decision so earlier." Benjamin picked up the tea cup and took a sip then gave Jessica a profound smile, "As long as you keep disturbing the 'Shine Project, I will be sure that someone would take action."
Jessica felt that she was like an innocent rabbit and was caught into the group of wolves. Besides, there was a tiger wandering around.
Jessica left the restaurant.
She went to the mansion of the Carters group on time as usual.
It was already the fifth day of their bet and there were only two days left.
Now, she only hoped that she could spend the rest of the day in peace.
As long as she won, Louis would let her go.
Freedom was the thing she wanted the most!
Jessica went to the door of the CEO office, took a deep breath but her hands were trembling when she thought of Louis's gloomy face last night. She knocked the door and pushed the door open.
"I know it. Don't worry, I will ask someone to look for him..."
Louis was holding his phone and talking with someone on his phone.
He peeked at Jessica who was coming inside the office with his dark and hollow eyes.
Jessica calmed down and waited for him.
Since what happened to her last night, every time she saw Louis, she couldn't help trembling.
He seemed to be elegant and kind but he would hurt Jessica the most when she was off-guard.
Louis hanged up his phone and frowned.
"You are three minutes late." He said in a lower voice. "You are a secretary but you didn't do your job well. Am I too easy to be fooled by you or is it easy for you to earn my father's money?"Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.
Jessica was shocked and bit her lips, "Sorry, I was delayed by something on my way here, so..."
"So, you can be late with your own excuse?" He lifted his eyebrows coldly.
His voice sounded that nothing had happened at all last night.
And he didn't mention about the drawings at all.
Jessica shook her head hurriedly and she was afraid that he would revenge on her again, and then she explained, "No, I didn't make myself any excuse. I am late, so I will punish myself."
"You punish yourself?" Louis sneered, "How?"
"I... I..." She was anxious and chimed, "I will mop the floor, clean the washroom."
As soon as she finished her words, she rushed out of the office and didn't give any chance for him to say no.
After a while, she took a mop and bent over to mop the floor.
She was mopping the floor so hard.
Jessica thought in mind that if she could make amends for previous faults, she would felt at ease.
Since she had used some dirty method to help the Wilsons Group, and helped them get the first prize at the first round of the bid, she didn't feel at
ease.
Louis was watching her so busy in cleaning, his eyes were darkened.
She was scared a lot last night.
Or she wouldn't be so frightened and cautiously like a bird.
He rubbed his forehead.
As long as she wouldn't infuriate his bottom line, he would turn a blind eye.
Just then, his phone was ringing again.
"Master, I got a phone call from the house of the Carters, and they told me that they didn't find Matthew and Mrs. Carter is so worried that she passed out..."
His eyebrows furrowed, "You go back to the house of Carters and calm them down. I will ask more people to look for him around the city."
"Yes, Master." It was a call from Keith.
"Besides, keep a low profile. Don't startle the police and media."
As long as it was within his control, he would never let him and his family exposed to the public.
"OK, Master... Besides, tomorrow is the birthday party of Miss White..." Keith reminded him cautiously.
"Hold on schedule." Louis answered lightly.
"... Master, will you attend the party?" Keith asked and he was trembling with fear.
Louis lapsed into silence for a second and glanced at Jessica who was cleaning the office, then he said lightly, "Yes."
He hanged up the phone.
In the afternoon, Jessica was lying on the sofa quietly.
She mopped the floor and cleaned the washroom this whole morning, and she was tired.
All she wanted to do know was to lie on the sofa and have a good nap.
She saw that Louis was talking with someone again on his phone.
It seemed that he got so many personal phone calls today. And he kept repeating "keep looking for him", "send more people to look for him around the city"...
Jessica was confused that what on earth was he looking for?
She gazed at Louis who hanged up the phone and he looked uneasy.
He stood up from his chair.
Then he peeked at Jessica who was lying on the sofa. He was silent for a while then said, "Go with me."
"What are we up to?" She was puzzled.
He put on his suit and adjusted the sleeves while he was frowning. Then he said lightly to her, "Help me look for someone."
At Star Primary School in Chicago-
As soon as the school was over, Matthew who was wearing school uniform and a school bag walked out of the school as usual.
He already got used to the school life that he would go to school at eight in the morning and go back home at four in the afternoon since he left the Carters.
Matthew enjoyed being an ordinary child though he had learned all the lessons a few years ago.
When he passed through an alley, suddenly, someone fell upon him.
"Matthew Carters! You are so bad!"
Matthew looked up and he saw it was Jason who was so angry with his face blushed.
"Why do you speak like mom?"
"I'm mom's son, of course I'm like her." Jason peeked at him.
Matthew shrugged.
Then he kept walking back home.
Jason was walking next to him and rebuked him angrily, "I wasn't angry with you last night that you threw me under the bed, but you are such an asshole, Matthew Carter! How could you pretend to be me to go to school before I woke up this morning! When will you stop pretending to be me? Do you know how difficult it is for me to hide from grandma and go out of my home?"
"Listen, I am your brother not an asshole. Besides, you can't go back or you will have to hide from grandma again." Matthew said lightly.
Jason opened his eyes wide, "What? How could you be that cruel to let me be a street child?"
"Of course not. You will go back to the house of Carters and be a rich boy." Matthew said calmly.
Jason was livid, "No! It's so boring to stay at your home. There will be always a group of servants following me, even when I poo, there will be someone ask whether they can help me? Damn it! I am tired of this!"
"Jason Wilson!" Matthew cut it, "mind your words!"
"Fine." Jason replied and chimed, "That's how I talk. But I will never go back to your home! No way! I need to tell mom..."
Then Jason turned around and was about to leave and he needed to be home earlier than Matthew.
"Jason..." Matthew stopped him, "You can't tell mom."
"Why? I can understand why we can't let grandma know. But why we can't tell mom?" Jason rubbed his head confusedly.
There was a light flashing into Matthew's eyes, "Because our dad is our mom's boss now."
"What?" Jason was still in confusion.
Matthew pursed his lips and frowned and recalled the time that mom had to see her boss at midnight.
He sighed and said in a lower voice, "Obviously, mom doesn't know me, and dad doesn't know you. Mom doesn't know dad is living with me, and dad seems to have no idea that mom is living with you. It's weird, isn't it? How could they don't know who is their kid's mom or dad is?"
It seemed that Jason got what he meant and nodded his head, "You are right, but why? I need to ask mom..."
Then he kept walking forward.
"Jason Wilson!" Matthew stopped him again and he couldn't help rolling his eyes to Jason and he found him so hard to communicate with.
In a limousine.
Jessica was sitting in the front passenger seat with her eyebrows tightly furrowed. She peeked at Louis cold but gorgeous face from time to time.
It was dark at night and the lights were on.
She had seen sitting in his car for so many hours.
Since he told her to look for someone with him, they were driving around Chicago which made her so dizzy.
"I..." She can't help asking, "Mr. Carter, how about we grab a bite?"
Jessica was too starving.
Louis peeked at him coldly as usual.
Then there was a phone call again.
"Did you find him?" He asked as soon as he picked up the phone.
"Sorry, Master. Because we are keeping low profile, and we don't dare to startle the citizens, so we didn't find Matthew..."
"Keep looking for him!"
He hanged up the phone calmly and peeked at Jessica, "what do you want to eat?"
Jessica was suddenly energetic when she heard what he said, "I want some bread..."
Fine, she wanted to have a big meal.
If Louis would ask her to treat him the dinner, she could afford the bread.
Louis rolled his eyes to her disdainfully.
"How about we go to the fast food restaurant?" She would pay more money to treat him dinner.
His eyebrows furrowed tighter and obviously, he didn't agree.
"How about KFC?" Fine, she could afford that.
He twitched his lips and said, "We'll eat Chinese food."
He made a decision without hesitation.
Then he drove to the most famous Chinese restaurant.
Jessica frowned and thought in mind that it might cost her a lot...
She lapsed in silence and suddenly Louis said disdainfully, "I don't like fast food."
His tone was so disdainful seemed like he was saying that he didn't like eating any rubbish. After a while, they arrived at the Korean restaurant.
