Chapter 57
Jessica nodded and said nothing more.
After eating, she started to work. Compared with Brightside Union Company, Candor Union Company's operation style was much more advanced.
She was busy all afternoon and didn't have the time to stop. By the time she went home, it was night. She was too tired and collapsed right onto the couch.
"If you can't continue, don't do it anymore. It's a lot of work. Let's go abroad and manage our shop." Yolanda felt sorry for Jessica.
Several children obediently massaged Jessica's arms and legs.
"No worries, it's just due to a new company, everything will be fine soon. Dylan, sing a song for mom."
Jessica looked at the children with a smile on the corner of her mouth. She would work hard to get back the assets of the Queen's family and give the children a better living environment. Dylan was singing very well. Meanwhile, the door was
opened from the outside, turns out it was Alfred who came.
"Mr. Whiteburn, nice to see you."
Faye approached Alfred obediently. The children liked him very much. After all, he had often played with them in the past three years.
"Faye is a good girl, Dylan still has a nice voice when it comes to singing."
"You have arrived." Jessica narrowed her eyes and smiled. "Help yourself with the drink, today I'm too tired."
In these past three years, she had already become acquainted with Alfred, so they had already skipped the formality.
"Jessica, let's go out to have a meal. I have something to discuss with you."
As soon as Alfred finished his sentence, Yolanda dragged Jessica from the couch. "Hurry and go ahead, your Alfred is asking you to go out on a date." "Yolanda, don't talk nonsense." Jessica turned in Yolanda's direction and glared at her. Then she went into the room to change into a new set of clothes and dragged her exhausted body out to eat with Alfred.
Since he said he wanted to have a meal outside, there must be a special reason.
Unexpectedly, Alfred took her to Eliason, a five-star Western restaurant hotel. The guests who came in and out were either rich or VIP. As a receptionist, she knew it was not a place where she belonged.
As soon as she took her seat, Jessica was a little embarrassed. "Mr. Whiteburn, let's not come to such a place again, we can just eat something simple."
"Jessica, please don't say that again. I'm willing to give my everything, as long it's for you."
Alfred was a gentleman. He handed the napkin to her. There was a tenderness in the way he looked at her.
"Mr. Whiteburn, I know. Thank you for everything that you have done for me."
Jessica took the napkin, and her words were full of gratitude.
Although she had seldom hung out with Alfred since she was a child, she had also heard of his cruel and manic temperament. All this while, Alfred had been gentle and considerate to her, and he had never once lost his temper in front of her. He was always cautious when it came to taking care of her feelings.
"Jessica, you know my thoughts. Please don't say thank you. What I want is never your gratitude."
"Mr. Whiteburn." Jessica took a deep breath. "All I can say to you is sorry, other than thank you."
"Then don't say anything, let's eat."
Alfred picked up the red wine glass and took a sip with a smile. It's fine to him as he didn't mind waiting.
Coincidentally, Trevor took Bennett to the same place for dinner. Jessica accidentally saw Bennett, and she could not take her eyes away from him.
Bennett had grown a lot in these three years that I didn't see him.
Looking at his small custom-made suit and the way the waiter treated him respectfully. It must be due to
Trevor that his necessities were well-provided.
Trevor felt someone staring at Bennett, so he raised his eyes and saw Alfred. In that instant, he furrowed his brows.
After Jessica met Trevor's gaze, she quickly looked down at the steak on her plate and didn't dare to look up again.
Noticing Jessica's emotions, Alfred turned his head and saw Trevor, and he frowned instantly.
Damn it, how could I ran into this man every time?
