The phone connected, and Miss Jessica smiled and said, "Manager Oliver, please announce internal news to the employees of Noblefull Group to come to the rooftop after work today, and each person will receive 10 roses.""Oh, why?" Manager Oliver was extremely curious. He had heard earlier that afternoon that bundles of roses had been brought up to the rooftop, but what did it have to do with the employees collecting them?"Well, Valentine's Day is coming soon, and considering that Noblefull Group is tight on budget this year, the Valentine's Day party won't be held. The president feels bad about it, so when he found out that roses in W city were on sale today, he thought of compensating everyone with roses as a gesture of goodwill..."Mr. Marcus's face turned several shades of red, white, and black as he listened. He quickly got up from the floor, lunging towards the phone, but Jessica interrupted, "That's how it's going to be. It's an order!"She swiftly hung up the phone, and Mr. Mar
"Enough, enough. I will keep my word. Is that Okay now?" Jessica pushed him away. "Why are you so twisted? Do you always interrogate women in bed?""Oh, are you jealous?" he sneered."What a cold joke!" Jessica couldn't help but laugh.Mr. Marcus wanted to hug her and give her a proper kiss, but the elevator reached the first floor.He was in an extremely good mood. Although he still maintained that cold and aloof appearance, his gentle smile couldn't be concealed. His exquisitely carved features softened, and he truly resembled an elegant prince.Jessica said they would get married once these matters settled down!After waiting for so long, he finally could marry her. Mr. Marcus was very satisfied.******The party started at half past seven, but Mr. Marcus and his five secretaries arrived at 8 o'clock, making it the highlight of the event.The whole room fell silent.One word echoed in everyone's mind.Stunning!Mr. Marcus, leading the way in the front row, wore a classic black Arma
Dancing?Jessica scanned the dance floor, where many couples were already dancing a graceful waltz, with swaying skirts and elegant postures. Then, she glanced at Mr. Winston.It was evident at first glance that he was a despicable man.Jessica smiled lightly, maintaining her graceful demeanor. "I'm sorry, Mr. Winston. My high heels have been hurting my feet, so I'm not able to."Mr. Winston seemed surprised that a mere secretary would decline his invitation. He felt somewhat embarrassed. After all, secretaries often accompany their bosses to socialize. Otherwise, how else could it be called socializing?Mr. Marcus's other secretaries had already been led to the dance floor, and it was then that Mr. Winston, driven by his lust, came to invite Jessica to dance."Miss Jessica, it's okay. The steps of the waltz are melodious and won't cause much discomfort," Mr. Winston said with a lecherous smile as he moved closer to take Jessica's hand. But before he could get close to her, a pair of
Mr. Marcus and Old Mr. Alston both turned their heads, only to see reporters from the news media rushing towards the entrance, madly carrying cameras. The commotion grew louder, and then they heard..."Mr. Old Lee...""Mr. Quincy..."Mr. Marcus's face darkened.The arrival of Michael Lee and Quincy pushed this banquet to a new level. Almost everyone's attention was focused on this grandfather-grandson pair. As the Lee family walked past the Smith father and son, camera flashes incessantly went off. The whole event took on a strange atmosphere.The astute media patiently waited; it might become a major news story.Old Mr. Alston, who hadn't attended any business banquets for several years, made an appearance. Likewise, Old Mr. Lee, who had retired from business affairs and handed over his position to Quincy, also made an appearance. These two old men, who had been hostile towards each other for a lifetime due to a woman, instantly became the focus of the entire banquet. Everyone's eyes
"We are friends."The safest and most imaginative answer. In the entertainment industry, whenever there were rumors about who was dating who, even if intimate photos were taken together, the response to the media was always the same - "We are just friends."That's it.The reporters spent quite some time on the questions regarding Quincy and Crystal, but eventually circled back to the war between Noblefull Group and Gootal Group.One journalist asked Marcus, "Mr. Marcus, will Noblefull Group and Gootal Group continue to compete in the future? Or will they become partners?"Mr. Marcus smiled elegantly, exuding a unique coldness and charm. He gave a poetic answer, "I believe you shouldn't use your ears to listen to this question. You should use your eyes to see."The reporters were puzzled, their faces filled with confusion. Use their eyes to see? See what?"Are you referring to monitoring the future actions of Noblefull Group and Gootal Group?" several microphones swarmed in front of Mr
Alston Smith sneered, his gaze sharp and mocking. "Michael Lee, my son, you don't have the ability to ruin him. Take your granddaughter and get out of here. I can't stand your whole family.""Alston Smith, don't think that the secrets of the Smith family back then were all hidden. What did you let him do in Australia and no one knows? If those things were exposed, do you think your son could still survive in this world?" Michael Lee said coldly, devoid of any emotions.Alston Smith furrowed his brows, furious. "Michael Lee...you're shameless!"Mr. Marcus narrowed his eyes, full of anger. Jessica immediately held onto him, smiling. "Honey, have you forgotten what I told you? You always forget my words and don't take them to heart. How can I trust that you'll be good to me forever?"Saxon's eyes slightly raised, watching the waves and ripples between the Smith and Lee families with interest. There was a faint hidden satisfaction and pleasure in his emerald green eyes.Quincy was in unbe
Miss Jessica was always direct in her insults, concise yet lethal. She always wore a charming smile, never revealing such sharpness as now.Saxon's laughter broke the silence, like a gust of spring wind cutting through the winter snowstorm. His emerald green eyes glimmered with admiration as he said, "Jessica, I'm impressed. I finally understand how gentle you were towards me at the restaurant today."At first sight, he thought this woman was innocent and agile. At second sight, he found her intelligent and composed. Now, he saw her as radiant as a pearl, dazzling enough to steal away his gaze.Mr. Marcus simply gazed deeply at the woman in his arms, his eyes full of smiles, lips turned up, replacing all anger and hostility with tenderness. This was his little Jessica.His only precious gem.He didn't need to refute Michael Lee in any way. His little Jessica had already spread her wings, protecting him within their embrace, guarding him with unwavering determination.A man should shel
Following Mr. Marcus, this was the second violent incident at the party.Here's how it happened: Camellia and Rose's beauty easily attracted the attention of men, especially Camellia. Her delicate features were pure and innocent, but occasionally she would intentionally reveal a smile that could captivate anyone, seductive and enchanting.This deliberate display of charm was very appealing and disrupted her original elegance. It set men's hearts racing, especially coupled with her well-proportioned figure which made her extremely desirable.An audacious man, who seemed to be a wealthy second-generation heir from some company, went up to flirt with her. He was quite good-looking, and fearlessly hugged and groped her buttocks. Camellia intended to playfully flirt with him for some amusement, as it was her area of expertise.Little did she know, Michael Lee shouted, "You're cousins!" Journalists hurriedly rushed towards them. Rose reminded her to stop playing around and instead help Mr.
