The Understated Dragon Lord

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?”

“Daniel is my personal assistant, so of course he’ll come home with me. He lives at my place so he can be on call 24/7!” Jessica’s response was meant for Isabella.

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. So, with a smile, she looked at Daniel and said, “Daniel, if you want to borrow a billion from me, in addition to paying me back 18 billion, you’ll have to agree to one more condition.”

“What condition?”

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

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

Jessica didn’t retort; she understood Isabella’s intentions and wanted to see how Daniel would react.
