Little Cute Wife



Chapter 41 Completely Unprepared

Suddenly, the phone rang sharply.

It broke the silence of the room.

Jessica's face blushed and she was afraid that she couldn't control herself. Then she frowned and said, "Go and pick up your phone..."

She was not only afraid of him but also afraid that she couldn't resist him.

She felt so lucky that the phone was ringing at the right time.

Jessica turned around hurriedly and rushed out of the bathroom without caring about her wet clothes.

She slammed the door closed and left Louis, who was naked in the bathroom. His eyebrows tightly furrowed and said in a lower voice.

"Hello, Brenda..."

The fourth day, in the morning.

Jessica was woken up by the ringtone.

She opened her drowsy eyes and pressed the button to answer the phone.

"Jessica, why didn't you come to the company? Mr. Carter is already here! Come back to work now, or I will ask Mr. Carter to fire you!" The phone call was from Linda.

"What?" Jessica suddenly woke up but she was so confused, "...Mr. Carter is already in the company?"

She jumped out of the bed and stepped on the mat barefoot and rushed out of the bedroom.

"Yes, our excellent Mr. Carter is here for work though he had an accident a few days ago. Jessica, you are just a secretary, and what are you doing now? How shameful!" Linda said in a sharp voice.

"I know..." Jessica touched her forehead and she had a hangover and then she said in a perfunctory manner..."

Jessica rushed to the mansion of the Carters Group.

There were lots of media gathering at the gate of the mansion. And lots of cameras were focusing on the Carter.

Among the crowd, the reporters were all gossiping.

"The Carters announce suddenly that the bid for the 'Shine Project' will be held at one o'clock this afternoon. How crazy are they!"

"It is ten days ahead of schedule. Luckily, we are ready at all times so that we are not in a flurry. We must get the firsthand report today."

"I heard that there are lots of companies being eliminated from the list. There must be lots of them who would make an exhibition of themselves..."

"Mr. Carter is so cruel. I guess he did it just to stop someone cheating so that the bid is ahead of the schedule."

"Hey, I heard the rumors that the international superstar Brenda White was back to Chicago few days ago. Do you think that the purpose of 'Shine Project' is to pave the way for her to open up the domestic market?"

"No way! Brenda White is the superstar in entertainment circle. How could she be mentioned in the same breath with the Carters Group, such a high end financial economy field?"

"What? Don't you hear the rumor say that the 'Shine Project' was the gift for Brenda Whit which was sent by Mr. Carter?" "Seriously? Is that true?"

"What's the relationship between Mr. Carter and Brenda White?"

"We have no idea, but they might be in a relationship."

"Really? How about the daughter of the Mayor Joyce Davis? Is she engaged with Mr. Carter?"

"What the hell! The upper class is such a mess..."

Jessica was upset when she heard what the media were gossiping.

She frowned and rushed into the elevator.

Today was the first bid for the "Shine Project". When she though that the Wilsons Group was on the list, she was nervous suddenly.

But who was Brenda White?

The elevator opened.

She walked out of the elevator quickly. Nancy saw Jessica and then she came closer to her, "Jessica, don't think that you are supported by Mr. Carter's dad so that you can do whatever you want. There will be a bid this afternoon at one, if you make any trouble, no one can help you out!" Jessica frowned but she didn't say anything.

She nodded her head perfunctorily and then she rushed to Louis's office and lifted her hands and then knocked the door slightly. "Come in."

Jessica could hear Louis lower voice from the office.

She was nervous and then she opened the door...

Louis was wearing well cut tailor-made suit and he had combed his hair so well but he still looked as cold as the usual.

"Mr. Carter..." Jessica called his name in a lower voice.

However, Louis didn't even look at him but kept reading the documents.

It seemed that nothing had happened this days and he was so indifferent and cold that she didn't get used to it.

She felt a bit lonely in her heart, "Mr. Carter, I heard that there will be a bid of 'Shine Project' this afternoon at 1 o'clock?"

"Yes." He answered slightly.

Then they were in silence again.

"So..." She asked cautiously and then she gazed at his face, "Do you need any help?"

Louis then peeked at him then his eyebrows furrowed tightly. He scoffed, "You can't even do a report well. How could you help you?"

He scoffed at the report that Jessica made last time.

Jessica was blushed with shame, and she bit her lips subconsciously.

Suddenly, her phone rang.

She looked at her phone and walked to the sofa then sat in the sofa the same as usual. There was a message that came to her sight. "The bid is ahead of schedule, why didn't you tell me? I don't care what you are thinking in mind. Send Anna the design drawings right now. The Wilsons Group will come this afternoon. PS: Don't drive me crazy. I can't lose, neither do you!" The message was from Henry Wilson.

Jessica's fingers were trembling.

Her face turned pale when she read her father's message.

Thinking of the drawings, her head was ached again.

She peeked at the computer that was in front of Louis, and her thought wandered.

The House of the Carters.

The sparkle of sunlight was on the yard.

Under the tree, a wrinkled dog was lying on the piles of the stones and it was eating something in mouth.

"A ball. This is the Brazil sausage that I bring to you from the kitchen, I know you like it the most. Eat slowly. Don't get choked.

Jason was squatting in front of Bella and holding the sausage and he was feeding Bella the sausage.

He was carrying the small bag which belonged to him. And he changed his delicate suit into his school uniform.

"Slow down or you will be choked to death. If you are choked, your Matthew must blame on me! I am a poor so I don't have money to compensate."

Bella was roaring in a lower voice, and it couldn't help rolling its eyes and thought that Jason was such a stupid.

It seemed like that Jason wasn't willing to leave the house of the Carters. "A ball. I need to go after feeding you the sausage..."

Bella was enjoying its sausage and it felt like saying that, "just go away..."

"I am leaving! You must miss me!" Jason was pouting his lips and said.

Bella baked to him in a lower voice and then kept eating the sausage.

Jason patted on Bella's face and said, "Good boy. You need to take good care of yourself when I am not here. Grandma has tracheitis, so, you can't get close to her. Grandpa has high blood pressure, and you can't scare him. Matthew's dad doesn't like you because you are ugly, so just don't show up in front of him. And..."

Bella seemed like muttering, "Fine, I got that! You are so long-winded."

"... You need to keep my words in mind... I should go, A ball..."

Jason was murmuring and he was about to cry.This content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .

Then he sighed like a grown-up and stood up.

He glanced around the house then tightened his school belt and he walked on the cobblestone path which was hidden around the trees.

Good bye, Grandpa and Grandma.

Good bye every one.

Good bye, A ball.

And, Good bye... Mathew's dad...

The Mansion of the Carters Group, in the meeting room.

The atmosphere was rather tense.

"Mr. Carter, everything in the hall on the tenth floor is ready. We've got a report from the Public Relations Department; there are already 71 companies ready for the bid..."

During the meeting, the senior leaders of various departments were reporting their work seriously.

Jessica took a seat which was the farthest away from Louis when she got inside the meeting room. She was carrying a notebook in hand and she was scribbling on it.

She peeked at Louis who looked so cold from time to time, and she kept recalling in mind what happened between them these days.

Especially the night that was his mother's Memorial Day. She could still remember the gentleness of his fingers.

But, it was just fleeting.

He was still that cold-blood and indifferent Louis Carter.
