Chapter 348: A new assistant?

Jessica’s eyelids fluttered lightly and slowly she opened her eyes, with the morning light still shrouded in the dark cloudy sky.

It is no doubt she had woken earlier than usual. She glanced at her side, and just as she wished, Davis was sleeping peacefully.

Several files on the nightstand, and at the centre was the centre table and his laptop with some files on it.

"It seems he stayed back in the room to work?" she mused.

Otherwise, nothing could explain the reason why these documents should find their place in the bedroom.

Her gaze settled on his face as she noted the strains and tiredness on it.

She stretched out her hand and massaged it lightly. "He must be quite tired."

She made a mental note to seek out some medications that will help him cope with the stress.

Taking a trip down the memory of events that happened yesterday, she let out a helpless breath.

Yesterday had drained her so much that she slept off in the car and didn’t wake up again until this hour.

A glance around the room and she noticed the untouched food, which, if she wasn’t mistaken, had probably been served last night.

She isn’t surprised that they had remained there. With Davis’ character, he probably had Deborah reheat and serve the food over and over, and in the end, he might have her keep them waiting for when she would wake up, but then she had slept until this morning.

Taking a look down, her clothes had been changed to something much more comfortable. She rubbed her temples lightly.

"I really passed out yesterday," she muttered.

She shook her head with resignation and lay back down, her gaze on the ceiling as she took a mental glance at her schedule for the day.

While still lost in her thought, she didn’t notice Davis waking up until he had his arm wrapped around her waist while he carefully pulled her closer.

"What are you thinking?"

"Nothing in particular, just thinking about a few things waiting to be done."

Davis sighed. "You are already at the end of the second trimester," he murmured.
