Chapter 140
I thought Trevor didn't like going to crowded swimming pools. He said he preferred to swim alone in the pool since it was quiet. So, what's going on today? Jessica wondered. Looking at how amicably Trevor was chatting with the woman, Jessica did not approach them. She only stood there and waited.
She felt slightly uneasy looking at the way they were chatting and laughing.
Jessica wanted to turn around and leave. Nevertheless, she could not help looking back.
She stood there, not knowing what to do.
"Hey, pretty. Why are you alone here?"
A gray-haired foreigner suddenly approached her from not far away. The man looked very fashionable.
Furthermore, he was wearing a cross around his neck. Looking at her with sparking round eyes, he broke into a brilliant smile.
"You're quite fluent in Chanaean," Jessica praised
him with a smile.
However, she did not answer his question.
"That's right. I've been living here for a few years. I like your culture very much. By the way, pretty, would you like a drink?"
With that, the foreign man took a glass of wine from the waiter's tray behind him and handed it to Jessica.
If it was in the past, Jessica would not accept the drink.
She knew it was not safe to accept a drink from a stranger in that kind of situation. Besides, she had no way to determine if the drink was spiked or not. Nonetheless, she accepted the glass of wine for some reason that day.
"Well, I must show you some respect since this is our first meeting," she said with a smile.Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.
Just when she brought the glass to her lips, it was snatched away by someone's big hand.
Trevor down the wine before putting it back on the waiter's tray. Turning around to look at the foreigner,
he said nonchalantly, "Excuse me, she's my woman."
The foreigner shrugged in response and walked away dejectedly.
"Mr. Gulliford, I'm notyourwoman. Please don't say something like that in the future," Jessica said lightly.
She raised her hand to check the time.
Frowning, Trevor advised, "Don't accept drinks from guys like him in the future."
Jessica did not take his warning seriously. "Mr. Gulliford, that guy has eight-pack abs. How can I refuse a drink from someone as handsome and lively as him?"
"I also have eight-pack abs. Do you want to touch my abs?"
Trevor took a step closer to her with a sly grin.
"She likes abs? I also have them," he mused.
Jessica froze. Putting her hands behind her back, she deftly changed the subject. "Mr. Gulliford, if we don't leave now, we might be late for the contract signing."
Seeing her shy expression, Trevor turned around without saying a word.
When they arrived at the partner company, the foreign business partner spoke Chanaean to show respect toward Trevor.
The signing of the business contract
love
went on smoothly. Before they left, Jessica saw the woman who was chatting with Trevor by the swimming pool earlier.
The woman even took the initiative to approach them and stood in front of Trevor.
"What a coincidence," the woman said in fluent Chanaean.
"Indeed. I didn't expect to run into you here. This must be fate." Trevor nodded gentlemanly with a smile.
"Are you free later tonight? Let's have dinner together," the woman asked.
"Okay," Trevor accepted her invitation without hesitation.
"All right. I'll send you the location later."
Smiling, the woman took a step to Trevor's side and planted a kiss on his face.
Jessica's heart clenched subconsciously. However, she forced herself to smile along with them on the surface. "Okay." Trevor turned to leave without making a fuss.
