Chapter Nine Gemma didn't want to talk right now, for tonight's meeting she felt like a beautiful item to attach to Jethro and make other men enjoy looking at her. Thinking like that, but then she quickly dismissed the thought. She couldn't let her emotions affect Jethro's good mood. But Gemma thought too well of her husband, his words had left her in deep thought and despair. “This is the only thing you can do for me, so show me how good you are,” Jethro said coldly. The carelessness and disregard from her own husband made Gemma pale and her heart ached like a knife. Even so, Gemma suppressed this stinging pain in her heart, smiling at her husband. “Yes, I know, I will try to be a useful wife to you.” But Gemma's submission and condescension to Jethro only make him feel disgusted and uncomfortable, he has never considered Gemma a true wife not only because she is the one who forced him to marry. “Knowing that is good.” He said, The letter from the unknown person still arrives,
Chapter Ten The atmosphere became tense after Jethro spoke, but he didn't notice it either. Boniface, seeing a bad atmosphere, made peace and said: “Mr. Thompson has a good sense of humor, but we're here for a meeting, so let's talk about the next project.” Although he said that, the atmosphere was only slightly calming, John did not want to cancel all his efforts for so long, so he still smiled in harmony with Jethro. Only Farrer did not have time to speak up and was humiliated, making him angry to the point of madness. However, when he saw his father's unprecedented concession to Jethro, he had to hold back his anger, but in his mind, he thought at all costs to get revenge on Jethro for insulting him and his father. “As for the price you said before, I think it's reasonable, but you have some conditions. It will also be difficult for us, as you know I am very fond of you, for other customers, I will never agree so quickly.” John shrugged and said, he also pretended to be a disadv
Chapter ElevenAs he lay beside Jethro, Gemma knew he was not asleep yet, so she asked softly.“Honey, the meeting went well tonight, do you need to see them again next time?”Jethro just coldly answered, he didn't want to talk to her.“No need anymore.”Gemma heard that and was a little relieved that she didn't need to see them anymore, so if they actually contacted her, she could flatly refuse without pretending. Next time may not meet that fat guy and Farrer but that does not mean that Jethro's next partners are kind and polite people.…At the company, in Jethro's large but somewhat gloomy office.The secretary beside him didn't dare to breathe as she looked at Jethro's very bad expression. Jethro sat in front of the computer screen, showing the scene he had filmed last night, and he could see and hear Gemma's entire conversation with the three men in the room as he was leaving for a while because there was something to be done.Unexpectedly, he only went away for a while, but his
Chapter Twelve Gemma could not hide her joy when she heard that Jethro's company would cooperate with her father's company, she once thought that Jethro's acceptance of cooperation with her father was only a dream, but did not expect things to turn out like this. "that’s so good !" Gemma stood up and swung around a few times. Although this has nothing to do with Gemma, she is happy that the partnership between the two companies shows that the relationship between her son-in-law and father-in-law has improved. That meant Jethro's attitude toward her would be different. Because she was so happy, Gemma did not doubt and wonder why Jethro did this. Gemma quickly phoned her father, although the news was so good that Gemma could not believe it, so she had to call her father to make sure everything was okay. "Dad?" [What is it, Gemma?] Her father sounded a little hoarse. “Dad, is your company going to cooperate with Jethro's company? This isn't fake news, is it?” Gemma asked urgently
Chapter ThirteenWhile Gemma didn't know how to get the madman to stop his dirty actions, some force pushed Farrer out of nowhere, causing him to stumble back a few steps, knocking over the exhibits. nearby and Gemma was pulled into a man's chest.“Did she say ‘let go’ you deaf?” The man spoke up.Farrer being pushed like that was very angry and wanted to immediately rush to hit the person who pushed the guy. Shouting:“Fuck! Do you know who my father is?" As soon as the words finished, Farrer saw clearly who the man pushing him was, so he immediately fell silent.The man calmly asked, "Didn't your mother tell you?" then slightly bowed his head and asked Gemma:"Are you okay?"Gemma moved away from the man's chest, a little shyly shaking her head: "I'm fine… you're…?"The man looked at her bewildered face and smiled.“I'm Harvey, we had the chance to meet at the party before. Miss Gemma has forgotten me, you make me sad."Gemma now remembers the man named Harvey who helped her at that
Chapter Fourteen Father Gemma is not surprised to see her coming to the company before she married Jethro at the company all employees know Gemma is the daughter of the president and every time she comes here no one stops her even though her father has an important meeting. Father's indulgence surprised many employees in the company and his partners. "Dad! Dad, are you doing?" Gemma pushed open the door without knocking before. “Miss Gemma… the president…” The secretary said panicking, previously the president had told him to refuse all meetings and appointments because he needed quiet but… Mr. Robert was reading the document intently, the loud noise made him unable to ignore it, but just as he was about to get angry with the secretary, he saw that the person coming was his daughter Gemma. He told the secretary: "You just go out first." The secretary bowed and left quietly, Gemma ran to her father's side and spoke to the secretary before she left the room. "Wait, Midi, can you
C Chapter Fifteen Mr. Robert did not think that his always naive daughter would speak to his black heart, indeed from the beginning he did not like this son-in-law. Had it not been for Gemma's insistence on marrying that man, he would never have paid attention to Jethro in his entire life. But after Gemma got married, every time he saw Jethro he felt both familiar and worried. Perhaps he was too old to continue working, he thought. Although Gemma knew that his company and Jethro were going to have several projects together, he was sure that Gemma would never know what the project they were working on was, but today The girl came back and said she wanted him to sign the contract. “About the contract, was it Jethro inciting you to come here?” Gemma immediately shook her head, she came here because she wanted to help Jethro but not because Jethro instigated her to come here. "He didn't instigate or do anything like that, I just investigated and came here to meet you on my own." “Dad
Chapter SixteenThose letters were sent continuously, and her yard did not have many fallen leaves so she could burn this letter. Gemma also never thought that she wanted to find the person who had sent her the letter, because she knew that very soon this unknown person's interest in her would run out. Everything will fade with time, especially the letters that come in just someone's interest in her.Gemma was sitting in a daze in her room when the soft wood of the door sounded. She thought the knocker was the maid, so she didn't want to care, continued to be silent, and enjoyed the boredom, the knocking stopped. Gemma assumed that the maid had left, but after a few seconds, there was a knock on the door, making Gemma very uncomfortable. She got up to the door, not seeing the face of the person outside.“Are you crazy! I need to rest, don't knock again!” Gemma shouted, the knocking on the door made her very uncomfortable, and only when she opened the door did the knocking completely s
