Claiming Her Back novel (Jessica and Lucas)

Chapter

23

Crossing her arms in front of her chest, Jessica watched with a faint smile as the salesgirls cut the price tags and packed up the clothes before handing them to Ellie. Only then did Jessica say to Hannah, "Let's go. Didn't you say you wanted to buy a Dior bag?"

Before leaving, Jessica even asked Ellie and Zancy, "By the way, ladies, would you like to come with us? You can buy all the bags I fancy and make my shopping trip end fruitless. That's gonna annoy me so much."

Zancy hurried to stop Ellie. "We have an appointment later. We are not as idle as you."

With that, Zancy and Ellie hurriedly left with a pile of clothes.

As soon as they left, Hannah couldn't help but laugh. "OMG, they are so stupid."

"What a pity! Why didn't Miss Brown go on playing the hyper-rich girl? I could have picked a dozen bags for her," said Jessica with a snort.

Hannah held Jessica's arm with a smile. "That's my smart girl."

Jessica raised her eyebrows. She had always been a smart girl.

The only dumb thing Jessica had ever done was to marry Lucas.

Though Jessica ran into Zancy and Ellie today, she managed to teach them a lesson. It was quite awesome.

Jessica's good mood was not affected. She and Hannah walked into Dior. Jessica glanced at Hannah and said, "Whatever you want. My treat."

Hannah cried out with excitement, "I love you so much! My dear Jess!"

Hannah knew that Jessica had a credit card without limit. Yet Hannah only had a few hundreds of thousands of dollars as pocket money each month. Hannah picked a blue Lady Dior, the same one that Rihanna had carried before.

Jessica didn't fancy any of the bags in the store. All the bags in her walk-in closet were limited editions. Jessica's mother would always have Jessica's closet updated. Jessica didn't have to buy any bags by herself.

After the two of them came out of the shopping mall, Jessica treated Hannah to a meal at Providence, a top Michelin restaurant in Los Angeles. After dinner, they finally called it a day.

The next day, Jessica had just arrived at the company when she received a call from Terry.

Jessica felt that Terry was quite interesting. Right after she told him that she wasn't interested in relationships, Terry had all the gossip removed. Terry also bore their bet in mind. It was just the next day, yet Terry called to remind Jessica.

After hanging up the phone, Jessica called Wendy and asked her to prepare a dress.

Just after Jessica hung up the call, someone knocked on the door.

"Come on in" Jessica said,

Wendy came in with a dustproof bag. "Miss Hall, Mr. Davison had this dress delivered. He said it was specially made for you."

Jessica smiled gently and said, "Leave it here. You don't have to prepare the dress then."

Jessica didn't expect Terry to be so thoughtful.

The event that Terry invited Jessica over to was an auction. On the auction day, Terry's car arrived at the Hall Group much earlier than the appointed time. Jessica had just gone downstairs when she saw Terry standing next to his Rolls-Royce in a neat suit.

Seeing Jessica walk out, Terry smiled. His deep eyes were glimmering. Those were the eyes one might easily fall for.

"Miss Hall, may I have the honor to have dinner with you?"

Jessica paused for a moment and then said with a smile, "Sure."

Terry was known as a playboy in the upper-class society. But it wasn't all negative. He did know how to please a lady.

After dinner, Terry even took Jessica to a place where she could change into her dress.

This dress was a mix of green and pale blue. It was quite exotic. It was said that Tomie was inspired by the Zhangjiajie National Forest Park in China.

"You look stunning. The dress suits you very much." "You should take the credit, Mr. Davison" Jessica said politely with a faint smile.

This couture costs at least a hundred thousand dollars.

"It is my honor," Terry said as he reached out his hand. Jessica then placed her hand on his.

Half an hour later, the two of them arrived at the auction venue.

Earlier, the news that Terry was chasing Jessica went viral in the upper-class society and on the Internet. Now that they showed up together, people gossiped. "Oh gosh, Jessica did hook up with Mr. Davison."

"The woman is indeed something. Her ex-husband is Mr. Thomas. Yet she got a new partner right after she got a divorce."

"So she is."

Lucas and Hari, who arrived later, happened to hear the gossip.

Lucas walked towards his seat as if he hadn't heard anything while Hari glanced at Jessica and Terry.

With their outfits, Jessica and Terry did look like a couple tonight.
