Chapter 83 The Wilson Group was on the Shortlist
Jessica avoided his eyes subconsciously and shook her head, "I am sorry, Jeremy..."
She didn't dare to tell him the truth. She wasn't that tough and pure girl she used to be five years ago.
Now she had a twin and she even had sex with another man.
She didn't deserve such a kind and pure man.
"No, stop saying sorry to me..." Jeremy held her into his arms tighter, "Jessica, you should know the reason why I am back and why I work for the Wilsons. You know it, don't you?"
"Jeremy... I don't want to owe you..." Jessica was in his arms quietly and she was peaceful and smelt the light and clear fragrant which was so different to Louis's.
"Owe me?" Jeremy smiled bitterly. "You've never owed me. Jessica, do you know what I regretted the most these years?"
Jessica closed her eyes with mixed feelings.
"I regret that I was too weak. I regret that I didn't take you out from the Wilsons... I am even regretful that I used Anna to make you jealous and forced you to face our relationship... But I was wrong... I am so regretful. I didn't know I was pushing you away..." "Stop it, Jeremy. We were so young at that time. That's our fate." Jessica's eyes moist with tears and she gave a deep look at Jeremy, "Terry maybe right. Maybe I didn't love you enough so that I would just watch Anna stealing you from me..." "Hush!" Jeremy hugged her tighter and closed his eyes bitterly. "Jessica, please, don't tell me you don't love me enough. Now, I am back. I am strong enough and I am sure that I will give you happiness. But, will you give me a chance?" "I..." Her mind was messy. She couldn't say anything to turn him down.
Did they have a chance? Could he accept her past and still give her happiness?
She wasn't sure. And she didn't know her mind either.
Suddenly, Louis's cool face just flashed into her mind. Her heart tightened.
"You don't need to tell me the answer right now. But promise me, you'll think it over, okay?" Jeremy was hugging the one he had been waiting for five years and he finally felt the warmth. "I will wait for your answer, Jessica..."
At this moment, at the corner on the roof, there was a man hiding there.
He was gazing at Jeremy and Jessica who were hugging each other.
Then he took out his phone and took a picture of them.
On camera, there were tears on Jessica's face and Jeremy was frowning. But they were hugging each other tighter.
Then the picture came out.
In the meeting room of the mansion of Carters Group, there were the executives discussing the result of the second bid of the "Shine Project."
Louis was sitting in the main seat and he looked as composed as usual with an unreadable face.
He was listening to the speech that the managers from each department made.
"Mr. Carter, our branch in Spain sent us an e-mail saying that they start to prepare according to your instruction that 'Shine Project' will adopt Spanish architectural style. And they need our cooperation. So, do we need to eliminate those companies which aren't good at Spanish architectural style?"
Louis glanced at the piles of files after hearing what he said.
His eyebrows furrowed slightly when he saw the design paper of the Wilson Group.
"If we eliminate those companies which aren't good at Spanish architectural style, then only the Pearl and the Empire Design will be qualified. Mr. Carter, what do you think?" Another executive asked.
Then Louis again glanced at the information about the Pearl and the Empire Design. By all rights, these two companies would shoulder above the rest. But...
Jessica's face flashed into his mind.
When he was hesitating, his phone buzzed and he got a message.
He was confused when he saw a strange number.
Then he unlocked his phone and read the message.
A picture of a man and a woman hugging under the blue sky came to his sight.
The man looked handsome and young wearing a white and clean casual suit.
The woman looked a bit sad with tears on her face wearing a light blue plain professional suit.
They were hugging together quietly like couples in a relationship. His eyes turned gloomy when he saw the man's arms around that woman. It was as romantic as a drawing. Louis tossed his phone on the ground all of a sudden.
Everyone in the meeting was scared. They looked at each other and had no idea why Louis tossed his phone on the ground with an angry face.
No one dared to make a sound.
They were afraid that they might get themselves into trouble.
They were waiting for Louis's order with a sweating forehead quietly.
Blue veins stood out on his cheeks. Then he took out a piece of drawing and threw it to the executives.
"The Wilson Group is on the shortlist! I will adopt his architectural style!"
He stood up from the leather chair, said in a cold voice, "Dismiss!" and then he walked out of the meeting room...
His assistant was picking up the pieces of the phone case from the ground.
And the executives were wiping their sweat and sighing in relief.
Then they all eyed on the drawing on the table and began to discuss it.
"This is the entry that the Wilson Group drew on the second round of the bid, right?"
"Who drew it? How could Mr. Carter said that he will adopt that guy's architectural style?"
"No clue. But obviously, it is the classical Roman style! Mr. Carter have said he will adopt Spanish style, haven't he?"
"But only two companies are qualified for the final. But now, there will be the Wilson Group, the Pearl and the Empire Design." "Three companies?"
Night fell, a white fancy sports car parked on the roadside of the old town.
"There it is. Thank you so much, Jeremy."
Jessica nodded with a smile and she was about to open the car door but her wrist was grabbed by Jeremy.
"Jessica, I will never force you." He said in a soft voice. His eyes made Jessica feel a bit sorry for him and she paused for a second.
Lots of women would be attracted to him. Moreover, he was the one that Jessica was in love with for a long time.
She tried to hold back her true feeling and smiled at him as well, "I know. Jeremy, see you."
Before she had any reaction, Jeremy got closer to and kissed her cheek.
Her heart couldn't help pounding faster.
She opened the car door and got out of the car with a smile. Then she saw off Jeremy's car until it disappeared from her sight.
After a while, the tears welled up her eyes and then she sighed.
When she was about to turn around and walked back home, a car stopped by her suddenly with a rapid brake sound broke through the air. She turned around and saw a black limousine in front of her.
Louis got out of the car with a gloomy face.
"Why are you here?"
Before she finished her words, Louis dragged her arms and tucked her into his car fiercely.
Bang.
He slammed the door.
Then he started the car and sped up.
He didn't give Jessica a chance to refuse.
"Louis Carter! Stop the car! Where are you taking me to?" Jessica was struggling at the back seat and tried to push open the door but it was locked.
Louis scowled and his eyes were filled with anger.
"Damn it! Stop the car!" They were giving each other a silent treatment after they were back from Spain.
But tonight, Louis dragged her into his car and he looked so furious.
Why she had to put up with this? "Louis Carter. You nut! Stop the car!"
Jessica was growling and then she reached to the front seat and got on his back then pulled his hair fiercely.
Louis braked the car suddenly.
He was in a rage because of her dangerous maneuver. Without a doubt, she wanted to let him suffer a car accident again.
Louis could do nothing but stepped on the emergency brake.
Because of inertia, Jessica was thrown to the front seat. If Louis didn't hold her head, she would hit her head on the window. "Jessica Wilson, you are psycho!"
Louis stared at her furiously and blue veins stood out from lower his jaw.
Jessica was panting and she admitted that what she did just now was so dangerous. She was struggling to sit up and shouted, "Asshole! Drop me off!"
There was no doubt that what she
did just now was a provocation. Louis gave a sharp look at her and lifted herjaw with her fingers in an arrogated manner. Then he gnashed his teeth and said, "You were flirting with that guy in his car, but why are you so rude in my car?"
Jessica was nervous and avoided his sharp eyes.
"I don't know what you are talking about!"
ejust
Louis roared at her with anger, "Fine!
You are still pretending. Jessica Wilson, I hate the women who are faithless Before I tell you that I am tired of you, you will never be allowed to have a foot in both
camps! Even though that guy is your
first love!"
Jessica was wide-eyed when she heard the words "first love".
Her voice was higher, "Are you investigating me?"
But Louis sneered and said, "Do you think that I will be that free? But let me warn you, if you do it again, I promise I will ruin that guy!"
Jessica was trembling and shouted,
"Louis Carter you don't have any
right to do that! I'm not your
somebody, and I don't owe you anything either! Even though I lost my bet, I paid you already. What do you want from me? Let go of me!"
"Let go of you?" His eyes turned gloomy. "Jessica Wilson, you are the one who should be blamed on. How could I just let go of you now?"
Then he began to unbutton her collar with his strong arms.0000
