Sitting in the meeting room, Jessica found it interesting to hear Megan keep praising her.
It took Megan twenty years to get to his current position. And he had spent years being a dictator in the branch in LA. Usually, Megan was the one others praised. Thus, Megan didn't have much to say when he had to praise Jessica.
Megan couldn't speak to Jessica as her higher-up. After all, Jessica obviously had a better position than Megan.
However, Megan was used to being the boss. He didn't know how to say nice stuff to Jessica like a subordinate.
Jessica sat there, looking at Megan with a faint smile. "Thank you, Mr. Bell."
Jessica's words made Megan feel insulted.
The morning meeting ended in an awkward atmosphere. Jessica still had another small-scale meeting at eleven o'clock. It would be about the Spring Valley Village.
Although it was a small-scale meeting, the project was revised. Thus, it took quite some time for them to discuss.
It was almost noon when the meeting ended. If it weren't for Jessica's lunch meeting at half-past twelve, the previous one might have lasted even longer.
After the meeting was over, Jessica touched up her makeup and was about to go to the hotel.
As soon as Jessica was done, Wendy knocked on the door and entered. "Miss Hall, Miss Thomas is here."
Jessica raised her eyebrows. "What is she doing here?"
Wendy pursed her lips. "I think she's here to apologize."
Jessica could not help but click her tongue. "I won't meet her."
Olivia came to apologize, but Jessica didn't have to meet her, did she?
Wendy had looked into Jessica's life in the Thomas family and she knew how Olivia once picked on Jessica. Thus, when Wendy saw Olivia at the company, Wendy's face darkened at once.
Jessica said that she would not see Olivia, and Wendy wouldn't judge Jessica's decision.
"Sure, Miss Hall."
Wendy nodded in response and turned to send Olivia away.
Olivia had been in the Hall Group for almost half an hour. When she first arrived, Jessica's secretary said that Jessica was in a meeting, so Olivia had to wait.
Olivia had never waited before.
Olivia felt that she had come with great sincerity.
Not far away, the elevator door opened, and soon, she saw Jessica's secretary Wendy coming out of the elevator.
Olivia stood up and walked up to Wendy haughtily. "Wendy."
Wendy looked at Olivia with a blank face. "Miss Thomas, Miss Hall is too busy to see you today. I'm sorry."
Olivia's face turned grim when she heard that. "I just want to see her. Five minutes tops. Is she that busy? She doesn't even have five minutes for me?"
Wendy repeated, "Sorry, Miss Thomas."
If in the past, Olivia would have already rushed up to meet Jessica.
However, now that Jessica's identity had been exposed and the Hall family was even more privileged than the Thomas family, Olivia couldn't act rudely. Before Olivia came, Justin told her to apologize to Jessica politely.
Standing there, Olivia gnashed her teeth and clenched her fists. In the end, she had to hold herself back and asked, "When is Jessica available? Can I treat her to dinner tonight?"
Wendy shook her head. "Sorry, Miss Thomas."
Hearing Wendy repeating the same line over and over again, Olivia almost cursed. "Then I won't disturb her for now."
Then Olivia stormed off in her high heels, with her teeth gritted.
Jessica soon came down as well. She had a lunch meeting in twenty minutes.
Wendy told Jessica everything that had happened, and Jessica smiled. "Okay, leave her be."
It was time for Olivia to eat the humble pie.
When Jessica had just married Lucas, she wanted to live in harmony with his family. Thus, she always played up to Olivia. Yet Olivia's attitude back then was much worse than Jessica's attitude now.
Wendy nodded and said, "Yes, Miss Hall."
The two of them did not take Olivia seriously. They left the Hall Group and were about to head for the hotel.
The driver had already parked the car at the exit, waiting for them. Jessica and Wendy saw the car as soon as they walked out.
Yet the two of them didn't expect to run into Olivia there.
Olivia was just about to call her bestie to curse Jessica when she saw Jessica coming out. She guiltily put away her phone and ran over with the gift she had prepared. "Jessica."
Jessica glanced at Olivia indifferently. "Yes, Miss Thomas?"
