Chapter 156 You Can Resign

Come home? Those last two words sent everyone in the room staring at Jessica with incredulous looks. Was New York’s most glamorous CEO actually suggesting that this country fellow should come home with her? Wasn’t he just her assistant?

Impossible. Absolutely impossible!

Andrew couldn’t contain his disbelief and addressed Jessica directly. “Jessica, what did you just say? You want this country boy to come home with you?”

For some reason, when she saw Daniel flirting with Isabella, a wave of jealousy surged through her. A woman’s intuition is often incredibly sharp.

Isabella sensed Jessica’s hostility; she had no intention to compete, but as a woman, she didn’t want to lose either.

“What condition?”

“You’ll be my assistant, on call any time!”

Isabella threw the gauntlet with each word being a direct challenge to Jessica.
