But she didn’t understand why she felt strangely uneasy and worried in her heart. She was afraid that something would happen to him, but she couldn’t call him either. What is Pandora doing? The more she is like this, the more miserable she becomes. If something happens to him, his friends will definitely notify her. Pandora told herself so and then walked away. She walked to the elevator, pressed the button, was about to go downstairs to get hot water, when the door opened, she suddenly heard a voice behind her:
“Pandora James.”
Mrs. Jessica Forger stood near to her as she heard that call.
Pandora was amazed, wondering why Mrs. Jessica Forger was here. She was startled to remember her current appearance. Her whole body exuded a lack of expression. Her face was pale and dull, her eyes were still red because she had just finished crying. Pandora was confused and didn’t know what to do, but Mrs. Jessica Forger had walked up to her side. As if understanding the concern in the girl's heart in front of her, Jessica Forger smiled.
“The first time I saw Pandora’s usual appearance, I immediately imagined what it would be like to get married. You really suit my family.”
When Pandora heard that, she shyly lowered her head.
“Do not say like that, you’re embarrassing me.”
Then her gaze drifted to the fruit basket in the hand of the assistant behind Mrs. Jessica Forger, immediately knowing what her purpose in coming here was. So Pandora then said:
“You going to visit my father? Let me take you to his room.”
With that, Pandora turned around, as if she didn’t want to waste Mrs. Jessica Forger’s precious time, but at this moment, she suddenly reached out and held Pandora’s hand.
“No rush. I have something to tell you.”
Pandora was surprised. What is there to talk about between the two? When she heard Mrs. Jessica Forger say that, she felt uneasy and had a premonition that this was not a good thing, anyway. But on the surface, she still tried to keep her composure and replied,
“Yes.”

The cafe in the hospital's lobby waiting room.
Pandora and Mrs. Jessica Forger choose a private place in the cafe to sit. From the look on her face, Pandora must have guessed that this might not be normal.
Mrs. Jessica Forger raised her coffee cup and took a sip, then got straight to the point.
“As you know, my son, Daniel, has always been stubborn and mischievous. But my family only has...” Mrs. Jessica Forger suddenly hesitated, a troubled expression on her face words. Then she sighed, putting down the coffee cup in her hand.
“My family only has a son, he. The Forger family’s company property will also be inherited by him later. And if you marry into my family, the James family’s company will also be controlled by Daniel in the future. And this is exactly what your mother wants, isn’t it, your mother, you and your young brother will take over as shareholders in both the Forgers Company and the James Company, doing so, the James family company won’t go bankrupt, the decades of dedication that your father built will last forever alongside the Forger family’s company, but you know, as an heir, now Daniel still hasn’t achieved it, he has a natural talent, I’m a mother, so I know well, but his character has been so difficult to teach since he was young. I’m also helpless. That’s why I want to take it back for him a wife, can stay day and night in the care of him, shaping it so that it returns to the right path.”
Pandora rolled her eyes. So this was what Mrs. Jessica Forger wanted to tell her. She laughed at herself for being shallow. Yes, besides this matter of marriage, did she and Mrs. Jessica Forger have any other topics worth talking about?
But there was one thing that she found difficult to understand in Mrs. Jessica Forger’s words. Why did she say Daniel Forger was the only son when, as far as she knew, he was the second young master? Could it be that above him was a sister, or another brother and sister who had died prematurely? Pandora never knew about the Forger Family, so she didn’t know. But still, she thought that maybe she didn’t even need to know about this.
“Yes, I understand.” Pandora politely replied. Mrs. Jessica Forger saw this and nodded.
“Actually, I also believe in your virtue. Now that you are considered a daughter-in-law of the Forger Family, you should do what you should.”
Pandora was stunned, as expected, of a madame. How can it be so simple to act? It turns out that Mrs. Jessica Forger’s ultimate purpose of calling her here today was to give her a “test”.
She wanted to see if she finally had the power to change Daniel Forger. Although she didn’t wake up drunk last night, she still clearly remembers his appearance. Extremely obnoxious!
Pandora coldly snorted. Mrs. Jessica Forger said what her son has a gift, yes, but a genius for destruction. In that Daniel Forger’s name, Pandora did not see a single good point. Such a fluffy son as him really has nothing called masculinity, making a name for the family. All she could see in that man was incompetence, worthlessness, nothingness.
But in front of Mrs. Jessica Forger, Pandora could not dip her gold and silver son in the mud, could only suck on to swallow the bitter pill, and obediently reply:
“Yes, I understand.”
Mrs. Jessica Forger was pleased.
“We put their trust in you. They also don’t want you to have to birth. Your job is just to re-educate the Daniel, so that he can give up the habit of flirting, play, and focus on studying and take over the company. That’s all.”
“That’s all”, the three words came out of Mrs Jessica Forger’s mouth were as light as a feather, and in the ears of those who thought they were not, it also made people’s faces beaming, thinking that this was a great deal. But no, Pandora felt like she was transforming into Sun Wukong and carrying the whole Marble Mountains on her back, heavy, oppressive, cramped, helpless.
Pandora didn’t know how she would make Daniel Forger reform.
She also knew that Daniel Forger didn’t like her, and neither did she. If she also ruined his fun, the relationship between the two would be as tense as Dong Duong and France.
But it’s still the same old sentence, what can be done when it’s the trust of Mrs. Jessica Forger.
Pandora nodded.
“Yes, I know.”
Mrs. Jessica Forger smiled.
“Pandora doesn’t need to feel stressed, either.” Then, she suddenly took out a business card and placed it on the table and pushed it towards her.
“From now on, my assistant will be your assistant. In his hands, he holds the entire schedule and movements of the Daniel. Take it slow, don’t rush.”
Pandora took the business card, did not expect Daniel Forger to be so arrogant, but in fact, his mother held him in the palm of his hand. Mrs. Jessica Forger, on the opposite side, looked at Pandora silently, as if waiting for her to read all the information on the business card and then say something, when at this moment, her phone suddenly rang, she politely said:
“Please give me a moment of your time.”
Then pick up the phone. Pandora did not find this strange, but when the person on the phone said a few sentences, Mrs. Jessica Forger’s face changed, her expression suddenly turned pale, sickly white, and her hands were also shaking. At that moment, Mrs. Jessica Forger stood up, her eyes red as if she was about to cry.
“Sorry... sorry you. I have to go first.”
Pandora also felt that something had happened, and it was no small matter. Did something big happen that Mrs. Jessica Forger was so alarmed? Her whole face was full of anxiety and fear, and her eyes were red, too. Maybe something happened to the Forger family?
Pandora didn’t know, because before she could ask, Mrs. Jessica Forger was already gone.
Now, she is also taking care of the entire safety of the Forger family.
Hopefully nothing will happen, because her James family still has to rely on them.

Evening comes.
Pandora stood outside on the balcony, gazing at the twinkling stars overhead, who missed the star, but stayed awake. The moon loved someone, but lost sleep every night. Pandora raised her hand to the sky, as if she wanted to reach for those high things, then she smiled involuntarily, a bitter smile that involuntarily pushed tears to the corners of her eyes. She doesn’t know what Lay is doing right now. Can he see the sky she is seeing? Do you miss her? Does he remember the memories of the two of you?
The dewdrops of the night, like a silvery romantic, scented Pandora’s hand. At first she felt cool and comfortable, but soon felt a chill to the heart. Pandora withdrew her hand, tears suddenly flowing out of her control without her control. Hot tears could not stop the cold of the world. She misses Lay; she misses him so much; the night is a deadly torture for the heartbroken. Pandora remembers the memories of the two of them, and then in shock realizes, well, she’s lost him, that she’s left him.
Pandora stared at the phone screen, just looking at it, but the phone screen was more innocent than the night. At least there were moon and stars in the sky, but on the other phone there was only a dull black. Black despair.
Pandora put her hand on her chest, this part of her as if there was a malignant wound that kept turning pale. No, she had to pick herself up right away. She had the right to miss him, the right to cry, but she couldn’t let herself die slowly in the pit of despair. Pandora remembers her father, remembers his smile. Her heart aches even more. She looked down at the balcony, feeling that she wished she could throw herself down from this place, leaving all her troubles behind. But Pandora inherently could not do that. Speaking of which, it’s also the time when she blamed God for being unfair and unfair because she put the two biggest pains in life on her shoulders at the same time. Pandora, can she make it?
A question that no one could answer for her, only she asked herself. Pandora raised her hand to wipe her tears, she promised herself that from today on she would not cry anymore, even if she missed Lay, she would only remember silently, even if she was heartbroken and hurt by her father, she had to be strong face. Pandora entered the room. She closed the balcony door.
Pandora sat down at her desk, took out the business card Mrs. Jessica Forger had given her, and began to read. After a while, she decided to pick up the phone and call the other person.
“Hello.” The person on the other end picked up the phone very quickly.
“Hi, I’m Pandora James. Are you Franky, Mrs. Jessica Forger’s assistant?” Pandora raised her voice carefully and politely, and the other man replied immediately:
“Miss James, yes.”
“I called to ask something about Daniel Forger.”
“Just ask.”
Pandora had already prepared the question in her mind, but for some reason, it suddenly felt messy at this moment. She said:
“I wanted to know the places he used to go, what hobbies he used to play, what kind of people he associated with.”
Pandora thought to herself, if Daniel Forger and associates with gangsters or drug groups, it is true that even if she has ten guts, she would not dare to go there and bring him back. In that country, Pandora must have asked for help from Mrs. Jessica Forger to help her.
“The second young master likes to hang out with rich guys like him...”
“They often go to bars, karaoke, play girls, or spend money on luxury pleasures.”
Just hearing the two words “playing girls” that Pandora got goosebumps, said Daniel Forger often spends money on luxury pleasures. What is that hobby? Prohibited substances, stimulants?
Just thinking about it made her feel that it wasn’t easy. It was one thing to get to where he played, and another to bring him back. This duty of a daughter-in-law of the Forger family is really like a neck cuff.
Pandora knows her own strength. If she went there alone, she would return with a failure, so she hesitated and said:
“Places like that... it’s not good for me to go alone. Plus, it’s a bit difficult...”
The person on the other side immediately understood what she meant, so he said,
“Miss James, rest assured, the lady, of course, will not let you go there alone. From now on, I will be your assistant. As long as you call, I will be there at this time.”
Sure enough, Mrs. Jessica Forger was prepared.
Having an extra person with you, good or bad, is a good thing, not to mention this is also an assistant to Mrs. Jessica Forger. Surely the understanding, experience in response as well as professional experience is not bad.
