Claiming Her Back novel (Jessica and Lucas)

Chapter 36

Jessica started the car and drove to the Hall Group. At nine o'clock when she arrived, the meeting room was already stuffed.

Jessica walked in her high heels and pushed the door open. Megan looked up at her with an unhappy expression and said, "Jessica is here. Let's begin."

Jessica did not mind it. She was indeed late no matter what excuses she may have.

Today's topic was the compensation for Spring Valley Village.

Jessica was in charge of the project last night, and everyone could imagine the outcome. Although the negotiations didn't fail, the two representatives did not look very good when they left. That's why Megan picked on Jessica early in the morning.

Jessica was never a pushover. As soon as Megan finished speaking with a cold face, she immediately said, "Mr. Bell, what you said is wrong. I have read the details of the compensation. For the sake of the amusement park, it is indeed not easy to avoid them for the project.

"But early in February, the headquarters has asked the designers to come up with a backup plan. What I said to Mr. Berlinge and Mr. Goldson last night was real.

"Isn't cooperation always like this in the business world? Since we already have Plan B, why must we give in to them?"

Jessica's words were reasonable, but she, a manager who had just taken over the project, had only been here for a few days. However, she was going against Megan. For a moment, the atmosphere in the conference room was a little tense.

After working in the Hall Group for so many years, Megan already had his prestige. Now that Jessica took over the project, smart people would know that she was not simple.

All the people present were smart, and no one wanted to offend both of them, so they simply remained silent.

Seconds after Jessica finished speaking, the entire conference room fell into silence.

Jessica had expected this situation. She smiled slightly and looked at Ronald Mcdaniel who was next to Megan. "Mr. Mcdaniel, what do you think?"

When Jessica brought Ronald here, he didn't stay silent as others did but instead, fanned the flames.

He said, "Jessica is young and has a good point. I agree with her! All this time, the Spring Valley Village has been suppressing us because they think we need them. Since we have a second plan, why not make use of it?"

Ronald spoke, and the department manager beside him echoed.

Megan's face turned livid again. He glanced at Jessica. "Since everyone thinks that Miss Hall is doing well, then I will be waiting for good news."

His last few words were almost uttered through gritted teeth.

Jessica looked at him and smiled. "I won't disappoint you, Mr. Bell."

This was the second time Jessica had fought against the cunning man Megan, and she won by a narrow margin.

When Megan left, his face was livid. Jessica chatted with Ronald for a while and said a few words of flattery before she turned away from the meeting room. "Miss Hall."

Just as she sat down, Wendy knocked on the door and came in

Jessica snorted, "What's wrong?"

"Mt. Hall will come here on Thursday, should we..."

Morgan was coming for an "inspection". Jessica knew that. She thought for a moment and said, "Get ready for it. I'll go pick up Mr. Hall."

No matter what, Morgan was her father, so she had to pick him up.

Morgan's trip to Los Angeles was known to the public. His plane took off about three in the afternoon and landed at around five o'clock. Jessica had just arrived at the airport when Morgan's plane landed. Megan planned to send someone to pick up Morgan, but Morgan asked his secretary to turn it down.

When Morgan came to LA this time, other than visiting the Hall Group, he wanted to see how Jessica was doing after she divorced Lucas.

In Los Angeles, it was already dark around six in the evening.

Jessica saw Morgan from afar, but she was afraid of being photographed. She did not call him. Instead, she waited until Morgan and his secretary arrived in front of her. "Dad."

Morgan looked at Jessica and said, "You look good."

Jessica raised her eyebrows. "Hannah has booked us a seat. Let's go over now."

Hannah and Jessica had known each other since they were young, and they studied in the same school.

At that time, when Jessica insisted on marrying Lucas, Morgan threatened her. Morgan learned a lot of things about Jessica from Hannah.

The two families were familiar with each other, and Morgan liked Hannah. "Is Hannah's studio still open?"

Not yet. It may be reopened in a few months."

The Howell family was rich. Hannah had a brother and several cousins. The family didn't need Hannah to do anything to support them. Hannah was destined to be happy and carefree when she was born.
