Justin did not know if Jessica did it on purpose, but he knew that Jessica would never take the initiative to visit him.
Justin knew that it would certainly take time to persuade Lucas and Jessica to get married again, but the clock was ticking.
Justin was no fool. A lot of things had happened these days. He supposed that the Hall family might not have responded yet. When they did and traced back to Justin, remarriage would be impossible then. The Hall family would be enraged.
Justin wanted to make Jessica and Lucas remarry before the Hall family could react.
Having heard what Wendy said, Justin thought for a while with a sullen face. "Miss Hall is busy. I can understand. I disturbed her. People at my age have a lot of free time. Please tell Miss Hall that I will be waiting for her. We'll have lunch together."
Wendy nodded. "Yes, Mr. Thomas."
Wendy knew she couldn't make their intentions too obvious. Jessica was making things hard for Justin, but Justin didn't have to know that.
So Wendy left the meeting room and told an assistant to send coffee and sandwiches to Justin and Dwayne.
After that, Wendy knocked on Jessica's office door again and told Jessica about what Justin had said.
Jessica snorted. "Since he likes to wait, then let him wait."
Jessica meant what she said, and she started to work after she told Wendy what to do.
Justin sat in the guest room for more than an hour before he started to feel sore.
Jessica's secretary came in every half an hour to apologize. Even if Justin wanted to vent his anger, Jessica didn't give him the chance.
Just now, Wendy came again and said that Jessica's meeting was delayed by ten minutes, and Jessica would be able to come over at about twelve-forty.
Justin's face turned grim when he heard Wendy's words. When Wendy left the guest room, he glanced at Dwayne. "Dwayne, do you think Jessica is doing this on purpose?"
Dwayne thought for a moment and said, "I don't think Miss Hall would do such a thing."
When Jessica still lived in Thomas villa, Justin didn't treat her well, but Jessica still respected him.
Justin seemed to have recalled what had happened in the past and nodded. "Although Jessica is a bit fierce, she really respected me when she was still Lucas' wife."
"Indeed, Mr. Thomas."
But who would have thought that Jessica was Morgan's daughter?
Justin sighed. "Forget it. We've been waiting for an hour and a half anyway. I don't mind waiting for ten more minutes."
"Exactly."
Dwayne replied, "Mr. Thomas, maybe I could give you a massage to relax your muscles?"
Jessica was eating the pizza Wendy had prepared in the office. When she saw Wendy return, Jessica raised her eyebrows. "They are still waiting?"
"Yes, Miss Hall."
Jessica clicked her tongue and smiled.
Seeing that it was almost time, Jessica got up and went to the bathroom to wash her hands and face. Then she walked out of the office, heading to where Justin was.
"Mr. Thomas."
Jessica walked in, with only a faint smile on her face.
Justin glanced at her and said, "Miss Hall, you are so busy today. Your company's business must be booming."
Jessica pretended not to hear the dissatisfaction in his words. "It's very kind of you to say that. I am still young and need to work hard. Besides, I do have a lot to do."
Justin felt that talking to Jessica now would only blow him up. He did not want to argue with Jessica anymore. "Miss Hall, you must be tired now. Let's have lunch together and talk while eating, shall we?"
Jessica paused and said, "Mr. Thomas, what do you want to say? Let's get straight to the point. I have another meeting in the afternoon."
Justin thought perhaps he would say some touching words to Jessica. Yet with what Jessica had said, he could only hold his words back.
"Since you say so, I won't beat around the bush."
Justin took a sip of coffee and paused for a moment before continuing, "Miss Hall, I think you must have been paying attention to what is being spread on the Internet these days. The Thomas family is also involved. Of course, there is fake news online. I know that, so I have never doubted you.
"But this kind of thing is really difficult to clarify. And not long ago, you and Lucas spent the whole night together in the hotel room. These things are really not good for both our families."
