Jordan knew his bonus for the month would double when he finished speaking and saw the appreciative look Thaddeus gave him.Jessamine was surprised to hear that he had bought a house here. She had only heard from Xander last time that Thaddeus was looking for houses. Xander even notified all the offline stores not to sell houses to him. Within a few days, he had moved into his own house now? Jessamine thought to herself that someone as picky as him would definitely not be able to tolerate staying in a hotel for long. Moreover, buying a house through an agent probably wasn't the only option available to him. He could do anything with his money.Jessamine was left speechless looking at the pile of items on the desk.Fortunately, she had personally picked and bought the largest desk for convenience. Well, Thaddeus got to enjoy it now.Sophia couldn't sit still on the couch anymore. If Jerome heard about what Thaddeus did, she wouldn't be able to collect the final payment from him. P
"Mrs. Holt, sorry to disturb you. I am helping Mr. Holt to set up the equipment."Jessamine had just checked last month's bills and hadn't started sketching yet. Hearing Jordan address her as Mrs. Holt brought back memories."Mr. Rhodes, you should change the way you address me. Thaddeus and I are already divorced."Jordan scratched his head awkwardly and said, "Alright, Mrs. Holt."Jessamine was left speechless.Before the two could clarify how to address each other in the future, Thaddeus pushed open the door and walked in with a pair of glasses on his nose.Jessamine remembered that he used to have perfect vision. It was the first time she had seen him wearing glasses. It toned down his sharpness considerably and made him appear much more refined.Thaddeus sat down in front of the TV, crossing his hands on the desk.There was another multimedia conference room in the company, but they insisted on crowding into this one. Jessamine didn't know if Jordan did it on purpose or if
The HR manager on the other side was all smiles. This was really good news. Seeing that Thaddeus was in a good mood today, she followed up with another question, "Mr. Holt, how much is the budget for the annual dinner?"Thaddeus raised his eyebrows slightly and said calmly, "Around thirty million."Everyone was stunned by his answer. Although Thaddeus was not stingy when it came to employee benefits, this thirty million annual dinner expenditure was unheard of in the entire country. They could already imagine how extravagant it would be.The HR manager, Ms. Zeller, suddenly had an idea. "Got it, I'll make sure the task is completed!"As Jessamine finished tidying up the miscellaneous items on the desk and prepared to leave, Thaddeus grabbed her wrist."Jessie, do you want to say something?"Jessamine glared at him and bypassed him, leaving with her belongings.Thaddeus coughed awkwardly. "She doesn't want to speak. Let's start the meeting now. First, let's discuss the outstandin
Jessamine repeated, "Delete them!"Thaddeus rubbed the back of his neck, looking reluctant. "Jessie, this is my computer," He said to imply that he had the authority to decide what was on his own computer and couldn't simply delete something based on her request. After all, some of those photos were copied from her old phone, and others were candid moments he had captured accidentally. During the four years she was away, those photos had been with him through countless days and nights, holding special meaning for him.Jessamine's expression remained stern, sparing him no smiles. "Mr. Holt, does this behavior of yours constitute a violation of my image rights?"Thaddeus fell silent for a few seconds, realizing she was really upset. He couldn't afford to provoke her now. It was hard to calm her down when she was angry. With a sigh, he lightly slid his index finger across the touchpad. After a few moments, he looked up, feeling a bit awkward under her scrutiny."Jessie, I've delet
"Let's end our friendship," Thaddeus replied.Thaddeus glanced over at Jessamine, who was focused on her work, showing no consideration for his proposal to eat together. He had to come up with another plan.As lunchtime approached, Jessamine saw a lunch invitation from Judith in the company group chat."Attention! We are having our lunch at Reverie Delights today. Mr. Holt has reserved a floor in return for using Jacinda's office. Please finish up your work, shut your computers down, and gather at Reverie Delights at noon. No one should be absent!"Jessamine felt frustrated as she read the message in the group chat on her computer. Thaddeus was sitting in front of her as if nothing was happening. He must have assigned tasks to Jordan behind her back again!Thaddeus felt a sharp gaze when he was about to text Jordan. He lifted his eyes and saw Ressamine's resentful expression. He knew she had seen the message.Feeling a sense of satisfaction in his heart, he thought to himself tha
Thaddeus put on disposable gloves and started peeling shrimp. In no time, half a plate of the shrimp was peeled and put on Jessamine's plate.The employees occasionally glanced over at the table where the three of them were seated when they were enjoying their meal. Sensing everyone's gaze, Thaddeus peeled the shrimp even more vigorously to make sure that everyone knew he was peeling them for Jessamine.His recent behavior undoubtedly told everyone that he was pursuing her!Thaddeus was a legendary figure in the jewelry industry. The designers rarely had the chance to interact with him, making them very curious about him.Witnessing Thaddeus pursuing Jessamine, they couldn't help but sneak a few glances over here. Thaddeus and Jessamine were already a pair of couples in their eyes.At the same time, Jessamine's employees had been chatting in their private group chat."Am I seeing things? I saw pink bubbles. Is Mr. Holt pursuing Jacinda?""The shrimp peeled by Mr. Holt must tas
Thaddeus' expression became serious. "When did she show up?""Our people found her checking into a hotel last night. They kept an eye on her all night and waited until she came out in the morning to confirm that it was her," Jordan answered.Thaddeus took out a cigarette and held it between his fingers. "Book the tickets. We need to go back to Zenville immediately."Jordan was always thorough in his work, and he had already anticipated that Thaddeus would fly back to Zenville as soon as he heard the news."Mr. Holt, I have booked the tickets. The flight departs in an hour and a half. Our car is downstairs. If we leave now, we'll make it to the airport just in time."The two of them stepped out of the elevator as they spoke. Jordan went ahead to open the car door and then drove to the airport at the fastest speed.Back at the restaurant, Thaddeus' departure made everyone feel more at ease. The atmosphere became lively again, completely different from earlier.Jessamine had a hear
Thaddeus sat in the car, holding his phone with a myriad of thoughts running through his mind. Recalling the past, he felt like his existence was an insult to the genes of the Holt family.He wanted to let Jessamine listen to the the recordings he had, but Sophia had been watching them so he hadn't found the opportunity all morning.Jordan drove attentively. "Mr. Holt, your laptop is still at Mrs. Holt's place. We might need to buy a new one when we get back to Zenville. Could you ask Mrs. Holt to help us transfer all our company's important data?"Thaddeus was snapped back to reality when he heard Jordan mention the important data. "It's fine to leave it with her. I'll talk to her about this later.""Mr. Holt, I've obtained Mrs Holt's personal number. I've already sent it to your phone."When they were spending time at Jessamine's place, Jordan had successfully built connections with Kama Jewelry's internal staff and easily obtained Jessamine's number. As a qualified assistant,
