Chapter 59
Chapter 59 I Threw Away Aladdin's Lamp After working continuously for several hours, Edgar rubbed his temples. "Tell me what happened just now." Miles thought about it before replying, "I think Ms. Reece had a misunderstanding when she saw Jean on this floor." "Jean?"
"Yeah. She was sending flowers to one of the designers from their company, and she came out of the same elevator as me. Perhaps Ms. Reece misunderstood the situation because of that." This was the only explanation Miles could think of.
However, Edgar let out a cold snort upon hearing that. How could there be such a coincidence? I've just helped her out, yet she played such tricks on me? What a good daughter of the Eyer family.
Edgar waved at Miles, indicating that he wanted to sort out his thoughts. Then, he looked at the documents in his hand.
We must get this S-level project. They have already rejected two of our proposals before this. It's more difficult than I thought to satisfy the Oprah Group.
Meanwhile, in the next room, Gigi took her phone out to call Rebecca. As soon as the call went through, she roared, "Where have you been? I haven't seen you since yesterday!"
"I-I think I've gotten a flu from the sea breeze. Eh-hem!" Rebecca faked a cough to hide her guilt.
Unbeknownst to Gigi, Jean was right opposite Rebecca at this moment.
On top of that, Jean had even predicted what Gigi was about to say next.
"Look for Jean now and see if she has been meeting other men, or if she has intentionally seduced another man!" Gigi did not clarify the situation.
If I don't get to the bottom of this, I won't be comfortable at all!
Rebecca's heart sank, but she recited the reply Jean taught her. "She just bit my head off because of the previous incident. Even if I ask her about that, she would never tell me."
"How incredibly stupid you are! Just tell her that you want to apologize to her, and send her some gifts. You'd better be good friends with her. Do you understand?" Contents belong
"Yes, Ms. Reece. I-"
Before she could finish her sentence, Gigi had already hung up.
Rebecca heaved a helpless sigh. Who's stupid now?
After that, she looked at Jean who looked stunning in the red dress. Even a woman like Rebecca was mesmerized by her.
Is it because Edgar has seen too many beauties that he wants to try a more average woman. Why did he dump Jean and instead fall for a scheming and spoiled woman like Gigi?
"Ms. Eyer, you heard it yourself. What should I do next?" As the call was on loudspeaker just now, Jean heard everything clearly.
She merely smiled at Rebecca. The drama is about to unfold. I have to get a good spot for myself.
An hour later, Gigi received a call from Rebecca, who reported that Jean dressed up lavishly to meet a man.
"Really? Where's the place?" Gigi sat up immediately.
"It's at Intercontinental Hotel next door, and the time is tomorrow noon." Rebecca did everything Jean instructed.
Gigi completely believed her, and she started planning on giving Jean a hard time as soon as she hung up.
Just as she was about to head out to speak to Ally, she heard Miles' voice from the room next to hers. "Mr. Royden, I've already booked a spot at Intercontinental Hotel right next to us."
Gigi froze upon hearing that.
Is this a coincidence, or is Jean going out with Edgar?
Since Jean had been ostracized by her colleagues at MON & Co., she was alone. Out of boredom, she went to chill at the beach while wait for the drama the next day.
Suddenly, she heard an aged voice yelling in the distance, "Bruno!"
She turned around and saw a foreign old lady looking for something while holding a walking stick.
Jean was never a person to meddle in other people's activities, but the education she received forbade her to ignore an old lady in need of help.
Hence, she walked over and asked, "Do you need any assistance?"
"I lost my pet dog Bruno. It's a poodle of this size." The old lady sighed, looking anxious.
"Did you lose it near here? Can you tell me what it likes?"
Jean spoke slowly as she led the old lady to sit on a bench nearby so that she could recover some energy.
The old lady told her that Bruno had accompanied her for many years, and its favorite food was cow bones. Once it heard someone singing, it would dance along too.
"Take a rest here, madam. I'll think of something."
"Thank you!" the old lady replied gratefully.
Ten minutes later, a figure appeared on the beach, singing and dancing with a bone in her hands.
"Is she out of her mind?"
"I remember that she's Jean, an intern from MON & Co. Did she go crazy after her ex-husband dumped her?"
"Who knows? It's a waste, seeing how young she is."
Jean ignored their comments and focused on finding Bruno. Finally, she found it in some nearby bushes, but its leg was injured.
She spent a lot of effort to bring it out of the bushes. When she finally succeeded, her face was full of mud.
Unaware of that, she quickly brought Bruno back to the old lady.
When she reached the old lady, there were several smartly dressed men in suits around her. They were middle-aged, but it was apparent that their ages were different.
They are probably her family.
"Bruno! Thank you so much!" The old lady was so touched that tears flowed down her cheeks.
As soon as Bruno saw her, it ran toward her excitedly and leaped into her arms.
"There's a small wound on its leg, but it doesn't seem serious. I'll take my leave first." Jean smiled.
"Wait."
One of the men who looked older than the rest called out to her m "Thanks for helping my mother out. To repay your help, you can tell me anything you want."
Jean was momentarily stunned after turning around.
People really take promises lightly nowadays. If I asked for hundreds of thousands, would they agree?
With a pure heart, she shook her head. "There are many pricelessm things in this world.f set a price, it would be an insult to Bruno." As well as an insult to the old lady's feelings.
Then, she waved to them and left decisively.
However, she regretted her decision as soon as she entered the hotel lobby.
The hotel manager brought all his employees to the beach, "Those few people are from the Oprah family. We must find Old Mrs. Oprah's dog!"
The Oprah family?
Jean wanted to slap herself after hearing that.
Let alone hundreds of thousands, even if I asked for hundreds of millions, it would be nothing for them!
She went back to her room in disappointment. When she received a call from Ben, her voice was quite weak.
"What's wrong? What happened?" He was anxious when he heard her odd voice.This content is © NôvelDrama.Org.
