Chapter 29 The quietness

In the Meeting Room

There were around 40 senior leaders of the Carters Group sitting in the meeting room.

Though this was the meeting that held annually attended by the senior leaders, because of Jessica’s attendance, the meeting was special.

She even attended the meeting having intravenous drip.

Jessica sat quietly next to Louis, and her face was not that blushed because of the intravenous drip. But her face was still white with a touch of pink, making her skin look clean and soft.

Many senior leaders were attracted by her.

It was creepy in the whole meeting room. It was obviously that Jessica didn’t deserve to be here, but no one thought that she wasn’t OK to sit by Louis. Of course, no one dared to do that.

“Mr. Carter. The Shine Project will be having the first bid at the beginning of next month. This is the bidding list the Department of Architecture chose among hundreds of thousands of companies.” The one who was reporting to Louis was the manager of the Department of Architecture, Peter Parker.

Jessica sat up when she heard the Shine Project and she was focusing on the screen and it seemed that she was checking whether Heyday was on the list.

She had skimming through the screen for three times, and she didn’t find it and she was so happy about that.

Phillip Smith asked for it.

Jessica knew that those who offended Louis would suffer from bad consequences.

Louis glanced at the lists on the screen.

Then he nodded his head slightly. “For the first bidding, only 100 companies should be left.”

Louis answered while he was reading through those files that Jessica prepared for him. Jessica peeked at him and saw his hollow and dark eyes but his facial expression began to change…

In the thick file folders.

The first page, Louis was wearing a black suit and a black sun glasses. A photo that he was going out of the mansion of the Carters Group like a king was stuck on the paper. Obviously, the photo was taken by paparazzi.

But the problem was Jessica printed out his picture and put it on the first page.

Was she taking this file as his photo album?

Besides, the title was: The chairman of the meeting: Louis Carter.

Louis’s face twitched slightly, and he was clenching his fingers…

“Yes, Mr. Carter. Among those chosen companies, local companies of Chicago accounted for only 30% and 70% of the companies were from all around the country. Besides, Information Resources Department has made a detailed assessment on each company…” Peter was reporting to him.

Jessica was blinking her eyes and gazed at Peter kept talking and talking. And her brain started to buzz.

Louis still kept his head down and focused on the files and turned to the other page.

The second page with the title of: List of attendees.

And there was the name lists of the senior leaders of the Carters Group.

It was obvious that Jessica downloaded the employee information from the website of the Carters Group.

From the third page was the detailed information about each senior leader.

The information included photos, resume, and length of employment, the salary even the family members.

The more Louis read, the darker his face was.

“… Besides, according to the preliminary budget from the Finance Department and the analysis of data, the Shine Project has already been so popular before the open lid. Now, the Carters Group begins to be in a profitable position. Compared with the same period last year, the increase in profit is very considerable…” Peter was still reporting.

Jessica was sitting next to Louis still while she was receiving transfusion. And she began to feel sleepy and her eyes were drowsy. She was about to fall sleep.

Louis’s eyebrows furrowed tighter and he was clenching his fingers harder.

He flipped through the files in hand but he didn’t expect that from the page 4 to page 118, they were all the personnel files of all the attendees of the meeting!

Until he turned to the page of 119, he saw his photo again.

That was the photo that he was working by the table.

Louis’s face twitched.

At the last page of the files, there were some words on the paper: That’s all!

“So, the work for the pre-project goes very smoothly and the prospects would be very huge…”

Suddenly, there came a sound of slapping the table.

Peter was scared that he stopped talking.

Everyone was so nervous.

Jessica was also scared and she suddenly woke up.

Everyone was nervous and cautiously gazed at Louis who was sitting at the chairman seat .

Louis threw the files on the table and the strength he gave could be powerful enough to shake the table.

The meeting room was terribly silent all of a sudden.

The room was filled with coldness.

No one dare to speak a work when they noticed that Louis was so angry.

Except Jessica, that silly girl and she said, “what’s going on?”

She frowned and it seemed that she was a bit annoyed that Louis woke her up from her dream. She peeked at his handsome face which seemed to be carved by an artist.

And she glanced at the thick folder that he threw on the table.

She began to be nervous.

Jessica then noticed that everyone was looking at her just because she was the only one who dared to say something.

Louis peeked at her coldly and said, “Jessica Wilson is that what you prepared for the meeting?”

Jessica rubbed her forehead with her trembling fingers and forced herself to smiled and answered, “Mr. Carter, I ….”

She couldn’t give him an explanation.

But she didn’t know anything about architecture. What’s more, she worked here just for a few days, she had no idea that Louis would be so serious about the files she prepared.

Shit! Why wasn’t he that serious in his daily life?

Suddenly, Louis patted the table twice.

Each senior leader was so scared that their forehead was sweating.

What’s wrong with Mr. Carter today? He was famous as the composed and perfect CEO. But he patted the table twice in front of so many people. He had got a bad temper.

Everyone was guessing in mind that what kind of person was the new secretary.

Louis raised his eyebrows and gave a cold look at Jessica who was murmuring without explaining. He snapped at her, “Get out of here and write me a new report! No one could leave the meeting until she finished!”

No one dare to be against him.

The senior leaders were all nervous and frightened.

They were gazing at Jessica seemed like they were complaining about what she did. All of a sudden, she became a target for all.

What Mr. Carter meant was that if his secretary couldn’t finish the report, they couldn’t go back home. What a tragedy.

Suddenly, Jessica could feel that she was stared by lots of people which made her so nervous.

She gnashed her teeth and was scolding Louis in mind.

She was trying to figure out a way to handle it but she could only feel that she was so dizzy. Then an idea just came up to her mind.

“Ouch…” She shouted in a very weak voice and touched her forehead. Then she cautiously stood up and said, “Mr. Carter, I … I will… write… write…”

Before she said out the word report, she slid down from the chair and fell down on the ground in front of all the people in the meeting room.

She pretended to pass out.

But she felt that her back was super cold!

Damn it, the floor was so cold…

She didn’t know what happened next after she passed out.

But why?

Because she had a high fever and her temperature was 39℃, and she was so tired that she passed out on the ground.

Therefore, that was just a coincidence.

It was 9p. m.

“Mr. Carter, Miss Wilson’s fever is gone and she is better.”

“Fine.” Louis still answered in a cold voice. He was silent for a moment that he chimed, “inject her some glucose to replenish her physical strength.”

“I’ve already added some glucose when she was receiving IV infusion, and she doesn’t need it more. She would be better after having a break for two days and doing some sports.”

“…” Louis was silent.

“Mr. Carter, if you don’t have anything for me to do, I should go.”

Then, the nurse said and closed the door lightly.

It was quiet again.

But the atmosphere was ambiguous…

Jessica was lying on the soft and king-size bed. And in the dark, she could roughly see that there was a tall and strong man walking to her, closer and closer.

Her heart was beating faster.

It black shadow reminded of what happened five years ago when she was having a sex with a man she didn’t know and he was the dad of Jason.

She could feel that the man was sitting next to the bed and the room was filled with coldness.

Then a hand was touching her forehead, though it wasn’t intimate but warm.

Jessica felt the same as how she felt five years ago.

Though the feeling was in five years ago, she could remember clearly. The man was so rude but he was so gentle at last. And she repelled having sex with him from the very beginning but she enjoyed it so much at last… Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.

Jessica felt like crying when she felt the warmth from the hand.

If it was a dream, she didn’t want to wake up.

For these five years, she would always wake up suddenly when she thought of the man in dreams.

She didn’t miss his hug, because she didn’t know him, and she just helped him to give birth to a baby.

That was only a one night stand.

But, she realized that for these five years, she couldn’t forget the feeling that she was having sex with him…

Jessica wanted to get more from the man in front of her and she couldn’t help getting closer to him.

She made a very soft and gentle gasp.

And the palm on her forehead shook a bit.

Louis squinted his eyes and in the dim of the light, his eyes were brightening.

He glanced at her who was sleeping soundly and getting closer to him like a caterpillar.

Her smooth and tender skin was rubbing his palm… Louis felt that his heart was pounding faster and faster…

Jessica seemed to be dreaming and she felt that she was back to the night five years ago.

She really wanted to have a look at that man.

At least, when Jason grew up and he asked who his father was, she could describe his father’s appearance to him and told him that it was his father who gave her such a cute baby.

However, no matter how hard she tried to open her eyes wider, she couldn’t see clearly how the man looked in her dream.

However, the soft and gentle sound she made was just a seduction to Louis.

His hands rubbed her forehead, and then her check and then her breast. He said in a husky voice,

“Do you know that you are seducing me?”
