That evening, Ada called Nancy and asked anxiously,
"Sister, is that really Jessica?"
Nancy was still pissed with the events of earlier on and this is what she ended up saying.
"Stop asking me stupid questions, you follow Robert every day, please don't tell me and you don't know anything. Did you even have a chat with him about what happened?
" Come on my dear sister, don't be angry," Ada bowes her head guiltily.
She was afraid of telling her sister the truth that Robert barely touches her. It will break her heart. She was afraid of losing Robert but that goodness he knows nothing about Jessica to mean that she still has a chance to make him fall for her.
" Madam, your husband is back," The housekeeper comes to tell Nancy. James had left for the weekend but now he is back.
Nancy quickly got to her foot and went to welcome back her husband.Before she left, she warned Ada against telling him about the events at the diner.
" Hi my love, how was your trip," Nancy greeted him as she helped him hold his coat.
"I am fine my dear, how was today's birthday party for our son?" James couldn't help but ask.
"Well, it went well." Nancy has a sweet smile on her face.
"I'm tired. If there is anything, let's talk about it tomorrow." James said dismissively before walking away.
Watching James go upstairs, Nancy's eyes flashed a glimmer of edge. Now that Jessica is back, she needs to take care of something. She doesn't have much time .

Jessica had just arrived at the company and was called to the office by the design manager before she could eat the steamed buns she bought in the morning.
As soon as he entered the door, Elizabeth, the design manager, slammed a document on the desk, then pointed to Jessica and said, "Jessica, right? You are a newcomer, right?Who told you to change the design draft?!" She shouted at her and Jessica was puzzled.
"You gave me the document and didn't tell me what to do. I thought you asked me to correct its shortcomings." Jessica finally managed to speak.
"Are you trying to say that it is my fault?!" Elizabeth was even more furious and shouted sharply at her, "Jessica! Do you think that you are smarter than all of us? Who do you think you are?! That was the result of our design team's hard work for several months and you cannot change it into the rubbish work that I am looking at right now," Elizabeth shouted.
" You should be fired! We do not need you in this company," Elizabeth said as she stared angrily at her, her face flushed. Jessica frowned. As a designer, she was told that her modified works were rubbish, which was an insult to her.
Moreover, if she is driven out of the company with such allegations, most other companies will not want her again.
Jessica thought, and when she caught Elizabeth's eye, she said faintly, "When the new employee comes to replace me, don't ask, just throw me a pile of artwork documents. I revised the deficiencies of the design draft, but it was still my fault."
"Moreover, even the most basic quality control of the design draft is not good. I wonder how you are the design manager to begin with anyway, I admire you Elizabeth!" Her words instantly angered Elizabeth.
"Jessica! You shut up!" She growled and raised her hand to slap her in the face.
Jessica was lucky to avoid it but this did not stop her speaking her mind.
She looked at Elizabeth coldly. "Elizabeth, I'm just a newcomer. Why are you so angry at me? What offence did I do against you? "
Elizabeth was speechless. Of course she was not willing to admit that Jessica's designs were better than hers because that would mean that she would take over her position. Her being on the company will make her get fired. That is why she did not want her in the company at all.
" Shut up! What you should know is that you have to pay for what you did!" Elizabeth shouted.
"What's going on?" Suddenly at this moment, the man's warm voice sounded, interrupting the tense moment.
When Elizabeth saw the man coming, he was honest instantly, and cried softly, "Vincent, look, our design department's efforts for half a year have been wasted!"
As she said that she gave the papers to Vincent.
Vincent looked at Jessica, who is neither humble nor supercilious at the moment, raised his eyebrows, looked over the design draft and began to look through it.
Elizabeth glares at Jessica, then whines around Vincent to complain.
"Vincent, you see, these designs were not like this. However, this newcomer modified the design drawings without authorization. If it is modified like this, all of them can only be invalidated. As you know, in order to avoid plagiarism and commercial espionage, our company has no backup of the design drawings."
Vincent's face looked subtle when he saw the end.
Ignoring Elizabeth, who kept chirping around him, he looked at Jessica and said, "Did you design all this?"
Jessica nodded and raised the corners of her mouth sarcastically.
"Yea but Elizabeth said that I changed the design to rubbish."
"Isn't it? You are a newcomer, what do you know?" Elizabeth's eyes were particularly disdainful.
"Shut up!"
Vincent doesn't care about Elizabeth, who is pale in an instant. He looks at Jessica, and his eyes are particularly appreciative.
"Did you really modify all these?"
Jessica nodded. "That's right."
"I have also seen the manuscripts of some design drawings, which are terrible. But after being modified by you, it has become a complete and mature design work. You are very good at your work."
Vincent's tone was full of appreciation.
Suddenly, Elizabeth's eyes widened in disbelief. "No way! She's just a newcomer!"
"There is no distinction between newcomers in design. She is very talented." Looking coldly at Elizabeth, Vincent's tone was particularly disgusted. "You have been fired, go to the finance department and settle your salary."
Jessica looked at Vincent in some amazement, but she didn't expect him to be so decisive.
"No! You can't, I'm Mason's girlfriend!" Elizabeth is a little flustered to stop. She can't lose this job. There is no better job.
Mason paid her well, and … she was the leader of the line. She is used to her current lifestyle. She can't lose this salary!
At this moment, Robert and Mason, who had been outside for a long time, pushed open the door and walked in. Elizabeth's eyes suddenly lit up, as if she saw hope. "Mason..."
Before Elizabeth could be happy, she saw Mason with a straight face.Mason looked at Robert and said to Elizabeth. "Leave."
Elizabeth jumped with anger when he heard this. However, seeing the look on Robert's face, she had to rush out. Her heart was not settled if she
"Now the position of design manager is vacant, what should I do?" Mason said this and looked at Robert again.
"I think Jessica is very suitable. This is her design." Vincent smiled and handed the design to Robert.
But instead of looking at the picture, Robert nodded and acquiesced in Vincent's suggestion.
Hearing this, Jessica felt a little inappropriate.
She is a newcomer. When she first entered the company, she squeezed out the design manager. What will people think?
"Robert, Vincent, I'm just a newcomer, and I don't think I'm qualified for the position of design manager."
Although it is not too much to be a design director with her ability, she doesn't want to show off early.
"In the afternoon, sort out the materials and design drafts of the design department and send them to my office." Robert, in an unassailable tone, looked at Mason again, narrowed his eyes dangerously and said, "Besides, many useless people in the company should be changed."
Suddenly, Mason's back cooled.
"Good good, change! Change everything!"
Robert said nothing more and turned away from the design department.
"Do a good job and speak with ability." Vincent said with a gentle smile and encouragement.
That afternoon, Jessica decided to see Robert, the president of the company.
She walked to his office but just before she could go in, she was stopped by the president's secretary.
"Hello, you can't just go in, what do you want from the CEO?"
Jessica looked at the secretary's smile. She lifted her glasses frame and said, "Hello, I'm Jessica, the new design manager. Robert told me to bring in some documents from the design department earlier on,"
"I'm sorry, but it's inconvenient for Robert to meet a visitor now. Why don't you give me the documents and I'll give it to him later?"
Jessica's eyes brightened and her smile deepened. "Then please."
She handed the document to her secretary and turned away.
Although Robert helped her at the party and she didn't have time to say thank you, she felt the need to do that because she saved her at the party.
The secretary looked at her back, with a gentle and official smile on her face. Finally, her eyes fell on the documents in her hand, and the smile on her mouth was slightly thick.
"Oh, Jessica?" She chuckled and threw the document aside.

"Smith, Robert said that there is something wrong with your materials, so I will let you reorganise them. It should be noted that you need to reorganise all the materials of the design department from the establishment of the company to the present."The secretary said before she put Jessica's original documents in front of her.
"OK, I see." Jessica bowed her head and flipped through the information to see where she needed to add.
"Smith, the president is in a hurry. This must appear on his desk tomorrow." As the secretary spoke, a trace of malice flashed through his eyes.
But Jessica was too absorbed to see it.
Jessica smiled. "OK, I'll work overtime."
By the time she finished, it was already about nine o'clock in the evening. She came out of the office, and all the lights outside had been turned off, so she had to leave with her mobile phone flashlight.
When she came to the gate, she stretched out her hand and found that the gate of this floor was locked.
Jessica's face suddenly sank. Even if the lights outside her design department were turned off, the lights in her office could still shine outside because of design problems, so it was impossible for others to lock the door and not see them.
Obviously, the gate was deliberately locked.
"Hello! Is anyone here?" Jessica still reluctantly shouted, but no one responded.
She had to go back to the office and walk back and forth, hoping someone would come back, but she waited for a long time, but there was no one.
It seems that she will spend the night in the company tonight.
Thinking of Mia at home, Jessica took out her mobile phone and called Lucy, asking her to take care of her daughter.
After she hung up her call, there was a subtle voice outside the gate.
Jessica was surprised. Someone came?
She hurriedly picked up her bag and walked quickly to the door, only to see that the door opened and a man stood next to it.
She looked at the man in amazement. "Robert?"
Why is he still here at this late hour?
Robert seemed to see through her mind. "I came to the company to get something."
After that, Robert was surprised by his actions, why was he explaining himself to this woman?
"Oh, well, I'll go first. Goodbye, Robert." Facing this powerful man was hard for her hence Jessica had to slip away quickly.
"Stop." Without thinking about it, Robert stopped her.
"Jessica, why didn't you bring the document I asked of you?" He asked.
"I did, but you let me..." Jessica explained, but she stopped looking at Robert's eyes.
There is no need for a man like Robert to lie.
It turned out that it was the secretary's trick that made her work overtime here to sort out the materials.
At the thought of this, Jessica's mouth showed a weary smile.
She really offended everyone in the company.
Robert stared at Jessica's subtle expression. "What else did I ask you to do?"
"Nothing, Robert. I'll send it to your desk tomorrow morning. If nothing happens, I'll go first."
Seeing her leaving in a hurry, Robert reached out and grabbed her arm.
"When business is over, let's talk about private affairs."
