Chapter 160
Trevor held her wrist as he said it in a gentle tone. Trevor knew Jessica was probably still mad at him.
"Mr. Gulliford, please let me go!"
Displeased, Jessica shook his hands off.
"Could you please show some respect? Why do you always have to be so touchy-feely? Do you think I'm the kind of woman who you can disrespect as long as you have money? There's no client tonight, is there? Do you think it's funny?"
She detonated on the spot. At that moment, she seemed to forget how powerful this man stood before her.
Trevor was stunned at her sudden outburst. He was at a loss for what he should do.
"That's not what I meant."
All of a sudden, Mr. Gulliford of Horington who was known to be overbearing and arrogant was stunned and could only reply to Jessica's question with caution.
"Then what do you want from me? I wanted to resign, but I wasn't allowed. Then I was fired. Furthermore, you threatened your grandpa as a Chairman. Did you plan to keep me by your side?"
Jessica was feeling frustrated as she felt like she had no control over the things happened around her lately.
Trevor took a deep breath after seeing how worked up Jessica was.
"One year. I just need a year. As long as you can stay by my side for a year, I'll let you go afterward."
"Why must it be me?"
Jessica was baffled as to why Trevor had to keep pestering her.
Everyone knew that Mr. Gulliford of Horington suffered no lack of women.
"It's simply because you're her classmate. Is the reason good enough for you? If it's not enough for you, I'll tell you the truth. I actually miss her very much, and I can only feel her presence if I see you around. Are these reasons good enough? If it isn't enough, then I..." "That's enough!"
Jessica stopped him mid-sentence. Even at that very moment, even though he was talking about the past, her heart ached as she listened to his confession.
It hurt a lot!
After all, his words were like a sharp arrow piercing through her heart. It hurt a lot, especially to those who treat relationships seriously. "She has had enough!" Jessica exclaimed inwardly.
"One month. I'll only be your secretary for a month. General manager, please stop saying such a thing again within this one month." Jessica retorted to Trevor coldly as she entered the taxi stopped by the roadside.
Trevor held his breath as he stared at her silhouette. He felt heartbroken as if someone had stabbed his heart with a sharp knife. Jessica sat on the chair as tears poured out of her eyes.
That man said he missed Jessica only when she was
around him.
"Are you Ms. Lockett?"
Jessica was taken aback as the driver broke the silence and asked the question.
"Yes. How did you know me?"
Jessica was confused. Why would a taxi driver recognize her?
"Great. I'm just afraid that I'm fetching the wrong person."
The taxi driver replied to her with a smile and swerved his steering wheel onto another route. Jessica frowned as she knew something was wrong, and the road ahead wasn't the way home.
"Ding-dong!"
Suddenly, there was a notification on her phone. Jessica opened up the notification and read the message. Trevor wrote: "Don't worry. I got you." NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.
Jessica pretended that nothing was wrong as she lifted the phone to look at herself with the phone. camera when she was looking at Trevor's car, which was behind the taxt
Trevor was indeed following the taxi with his BMW sports car.
"Ask him not to follow my car any further. Else, he'll have to die too!"
The taxi driver said impatiently as he stepped on the accelerator.
"What the hell are you?"
Jessica looked at the taxi driver from the rearview mirror, trying to figure out who he was but to no avail.
"It doesn't matter who I am. What's important is that we can accompany each other in hell. Ms. Lockett, go to hell!"
The driver then swerved to the road
on the other lane as he floored the accelerator to the maximum. With such a high speed, any car that came in contact with his tax would end up in a fatal accident.
