Chapter 160: I need a disguise...
Jessica was almost done with her meal when her phone buzzed with the incoming call, she glanced at it briefly, it was of one of her subordinates.
She had initially asked them to keep an eye Desmond and George Brown immediately she caught sight of the duo, possibly there is a response.
Casting a brief subtle glance at Donald, she quickly accepted the call and placed the phone to her ear, listening intently.
"Yes?... Alright. Keep eyes on them. I’ll be there soon." She replied decisively with a faint smirk curving up her lips, but it didn’t reach her eyes.
Donald’s brow lifted slightly, noticing the sudden change in her expression. The tone of her voice had turned sharp, pointed and focused. A clear indication that something urgent had come up. He could tell she was about to leave.
Without a word, he slowly pushed back his seat and stood. Jessica did the same. She reached for her napkin, dabbed her lips with soft precision, and rose gracefully from her chair.
She picked up her handbag and phone, then slid on her sunglasses in one smooth motion. Her posture straightened, her face expressionless and cold.
With a composed yet dramatic turn, she walked out of the eatery, her head held high.
Her subordinate had just informed her that Desmond and George had scheduled a secret meeting at the Gray Jones Exclusive Club and Bar, and the meeting is set to happen in just an hour.

Donald noticed her quick steps and followed closely behind with long strides. As they approached the parking lot, she impatiently glanced around, clearly weighing her next move. She contemplated whether to call a taxi or join Donald’s drive.
With one swift decisive step, she stretched her hand to flag down the coming taxi when Donald’s voice
Jessica debated whether to take a cab or ride with Donald. She had almost made up her mind to take a cab when Donald’s voice stopped her.
"Get in the car. I’ll drop you off."
She paused, her body stiffened slightly at his words. Turning her head slowly, she regarded him from behind her sunglasses.
