Chapter 5 You Are So Beautiful Tonight

“Jessica, you are so beautiful tonight!”

Philip held her hand and gave her hand a kiss.

Jessica furrowed and she held her hand back feeling uncomfortable.

“Philip, you should have asked Anna to attend such a banquet with you. She would be more suitable.”

Anna was the PR manager in her company.

She would be a way better than a clerk from the department of engineering when handling the banquet prepared for the upper class.

However, Philip didn’t think so.

He got a glass of champagne from a waiter smiling and passed it to Jessica.

“Jessica, to tell you the truth, today’s banquet was actually a preparation for the bid of Shine Project.”

Jessica was shock and froze for a second.

Shine Project was a project that nearly all the construction industry in Chicago would scramble for. Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.

And the department of engineering was so busy because of the Shine Project. No wonder Philip asked her to come here.

“But, Phillip, I am just a junior clerk and I just work in our company less than half a year…”

“That’s why I ask you to come!”

She was new!

Phillip was smiling at her and said, “Jessica, I have my own reason to ask you to be here. Take it easy. As long as you do well tonight, you will be rewarded with bonus. Button up the Champagne and wish our bidding a success,”

Jessica got the Champagne and she hesitated.

She glanced at the people in the hall.

She thought that she was so weak that she would be scared of such occasion.

For five years, she hardly worked in a company since she needed to look after her mom and her kid. So she only made a living with those five millions dollars she got.

Until half a year ago, she spent all the money and she decided to be back to Chicago and restarted her life.

But she found that there were so many things she didn’t know.

And she was so happy that she was able to work in the department of engineering in Heyday.

“Why don’t you button up the Champagne? Jessica, don’t tell me that you will be drunk if you drink Champagne…”

Jessica was a bit blushed and shook her head then answered, “No, I don’t. So, toast to the success of our bidding.”

She held up the Champagne and drank with Phillip.

Then she buttoned up.

Phillip saw that she had buttoned up the wine, and then a flash of calculation just showed up.

Jessica put down the glass and she felt a bit hot in her throat.

Suddenly, the hall quieted down.

She had no idea that what was happening.

Then all of the people were looking at the gate of the hall.

A tall, strong and handsome man walked inside elegantly.

Everyone was attracted by him and he was like a shining star.

The man was wearing a white handmade suit which was a global limited edition and his body curvy body shape was perfectly been seen.

He seemed to be born a king with a group of respectful subordinates following behind him.

He had short black hair and he combed it so nicely.

Composed but strict atmosphere revealed.

The earring on his left ear was shining with dark blue.

He must be the hunk who would overthrow states and cities since he got such a charming and gorgeous face.

But it was a pity that he was so cool.

It was him!

Jessica recognized him at once.

He was that “poker face” in that limousine.

Before she reacted, all the people in the hall were getting excited.

Jessica though was stupid, she could feel that the unusual reaction of those people.

He must be a big wig.

But he might someone from a rich family! That’s it!

“Wow, Mr. Carter is finally here!” Phillip shouted in a lower voice in surprise and he put his arm around Jessica’s shoulder.

Jessica subconsciously avoided him.

Damn it!

She shouldn’t have worn the off-shoulder dress tonight!

Philip didn’t care about her reaction and still slipped his arm around her shoulder.

“Jessica, Mr. Carter is a big wig! He is from the richest family in Chicago- the Carters! Have you heard about them?”

“The Carters?”

Jessica was in a great shock!

It was known to all that the Carters in Chicago were super powerful.

And they were so wealthy that beyond people’s imagination.

They could even do anything they wanted in Chicago!

The Shine Project was one of the subprojects of the Carters group

And the project just put it out for public bidding a few months ago.

All the construction industry had used a lot of methods to get the Carters’ attention so as to get the Shine Project which was worth hundreds of billions of dollars.

Heyday was no exception.

“Yes, and he is the son of the Carter named Louis Carter, the CEO of the Carters Group!”

Louis Carter?

Jessica was a bit nervous all of a sudden.

It was such a horrible name.

And she heard before that never offended anyone from the Carters in Chicago.

She didn’t expect that this guy was such a big wig!

Jessica couldn’t help drooping her eyes and glanced her hand.

She grabbed Louis Carter’s face just now!

What the hell…

Jessica felt that something horrible might happen to her.

“Let’s go Jessica. We need to say hello to Mr. Carter.”

She was so nervous.

And she was too embarrassed to say hello to that cool guy.

“Phillip, I need to go to the washroom, could we greet him later…”

Phillip shook his head and didn’t let go of his hand around her shoulder.

Then he pointed to Louis Carter who had already been surrounded by a lot of people.

There were a lot of people like Phillip who attended the banquet with a beauty.

“Look, Jessica, there are so many people flattering Mr. Carter now, we can’t lay behind!”
