Desperate Lovers

James’s legs are long and thin, intertwining. He leaned against the chair, his voice conveying coldness, “Then you should know that the decrease in share price caused by fake news cannot do a deadly harm to the Harvey Group.”

“Of course.

Harvey Group’s influence on the world is so huge that a little change in share price -- a loss of one to two billion cannot affect it.

But James, you are a business man. It is not worth risking it for a person who is unimportant to you.”

Jessica said it slowly.

“It is indeed not worthwhile for a person who is unimportant to me.”

James put his hands on his knees, the fingers of his right hand moving to and from on his right knee. Many emotions were boiling in his eyes. “But it is worthwhile to get rid of someone who is always challenging my bottom line.”

Silence.

Even a dropping needle could be heard in the office.

Jessica’s smile froze a bit and went back normal after a while.

She went around the broken tea cup pieces, and stepped backwards in her wheelchair, “James, it is not as serious as you imagine.

As I said just now, I did not find anyone to follow you or watch you, which was not necessary for me.

The reason why I came here was just because I wanted to talk about my brother’s engagement next month with you.”

Her figure was reflected in James’s eyes. Indifference was clear in his eyes.

He held a cup of tea and intended to drink it, but he put it back on the table when he thought about Angela’s leg that was full of blisters and scars.

“If you still feel worried about it, I can promise I will never come here without your permission.”

Jessica smiled a little bitterly.

“Well.”

James answered lightly. Not wanting to make her embarrassed, he started another topic, “Did you say you wanted to talk about your brother’s engagement with me?”

Jessica nodded lightly, and said gently,

“On aunt’s birthday party yesterday, Angela went to mess up with my brother.

My parents were worried about it and afraid that Angela would mess up with my brother’s engagement party with Cathleen, so they told me to come to you and negotiate about it.”

“Me?”
