Chapter 320 Temporary Assistant
In a daze, Jeanne watched the car run into the distance.She had prepared for the worst which was August's rejection, but such a remark from him had not been expected.
Don't make him down again.She wondered if he had found out those things were done by her.
The idea struck her like a thunderbolt.She couldn't help trembling.
Soon enough, she calmed down and analyzed the situation.
If August had figured out that she was the one who leaked the plan, he wouldn't have treated her this way.His attitude indicated that he hadn't found out the truth but suspected her.
In light of this, she should be more careful from now on.Her hands that hung on the sides clenched, and her face blanched.
Just then, something crossed her mind.She immediately took out her phone to make a call.
Mark's voice soon came from the other end of the phone.
"Miss, what's up?"
Jeanne took a deep breath and lowered her voice.
"Remember to obliterate all traces.August seems to be suspecting me."
After a moment of silence, Mark asked, "Should I put off the action against Lucia?"
A cold glint flashed across her eyes.
She blurted out firmly, "No, just stick to the plan."
She hoped that the child in Lucia's womb would be gone immediately.She couldn't wait for another second.She would watch Lucia get her comeuppance.
Lucia was unaware of the impending danger.
Ever since Jonathan promised that he would learn more about Redeur with his agent, she hadn't received another update.She was idle in the office.
Two days later, she finally received a message from the man.
"My assistant is off today.Come to the filming site and help me out."
Lucia was exasperated.
So, Jonathan saw her as free labor at his beck and call? She was reluctant, but this was an opportunity for her to close the deal.
She weighed her options before heading out.She hadn't expected it to take her an entire day.
In the evening, the props in the crew had a problem, and the filming didn't finish until 11 pm.
"Let's call it a day."
The field manager finally gave notice.
Still in costume, Jonathan came out and saw Lucia dozing off by the recliner.
With a smile on his face, he sneaked over, slowly reached out his hand, and flicked her on the forehead.
The pain startled her and woke her up.She widened her eyes in a panic before a pretty face was seen.
Jonathan's skin was in good condition.
The makeup on his face was thick, but there were no wrinkles.
In a daze, Lucia forgot about the pain on her forehead and wondered if she was dreaming.
"Still not awake?"
A sly smile flashed across his eyes.He reached out his right hand, trying to flick her forehead again, "One more time."
"No!"
Lucia instantly sobered up, pushed his hand away, and rubbed her forehead with a frown.
"All right, wrap it up.As a reward for your hard work, I'll buy you a drink."
"I'm not going."
Lucia stood up, "If you really want to thank me, sign the contract."
"I'll consider."
Jonathan smiled and winked at her.
Lucia itched to punch him in the face.She couldn't remember how many times she had gotten this answer from him.
He said he would consider every time, and then nothing happened.
Anger was building up in her, but the man next to her remained dandiacal.She took a deep breath and looked at him.
"Jonathan, I'll ask you one last time.Are you taking the case or not? Give me a definite answer rather than keep me in suspense."
Without waiting for his reply, she bent over to pack her things and started to leave.
Jonathan caught up with her and grinned, "Are you upset?"
Lucia continued her way forward without a word.
"Are you leaving alone?"
She remained silent.
"Are you sure you can hail a taxi from the film center at such a late hour?"
Lucia halted and realized the issue.
Jonathan smiled with his eyes and teased her, "What are you upset about? I have been trying to figure out your sincerity in working with me.If I were not interested in the case, I wouldn't have kept you in suspense."
Lucia's anger abated a little when she heard that. Content is © by NôvelDrama.Org.
What he said made sense.
"When are you going to talk about the endorsement then?"
Jonathan yawned, "My schedule is tight.The earliest time will be next week."
Lucia was a bit skeptical.He read her mind and added unhurriedly, "You can check out my itinerary if you don't believe me."
"That won't be necessary.Just fulfill your promise."
"Yes, ma'am."
Jonathan stood at attention and saluted her with a smile.
Lucia was amused and laughed.
Since Jonathan made a compromise, she had no more reason to wrestle with him.
By the time she got back to her apartment, it was already midnight.She quickly washed up and hit the sack.
Too exhausted, she went out like a light.She woke up the next morning, looked at the clock on the wall, and bounced up from bed.It was already 8:30.
She was quite likely to be late for work even if she started now.
Too urgent to have breakfast, she washed up and hurried to the office.
Not far away from the office building of Lion Group, Jeanne had been waiting by the road for two hours.
As agreed, Mark and she would make a move today.
She had thought that Lucia would come at the rush hour, but till the working hours were about to start, she still hadn't seen the woman.
Jeanne muttered, "ls she coming or not?"
In the driver's seat, Mark remained composed.
"There is a regular meeting at Lion Group today.Lucia didn't ask for leave, so she will come although it's running late."
"Our plan is not upset, right?"
Jeanne's eyes flickered.
"Don't worry, it's all set," Mark replied with a confident smile.
If Lucia came today, she would not get away.
