“…” Jesse, are you being polite?!


    For a moment, it was unclear whether Jesse was joking or mocking.


    The four of them had gone through a rollercoaster of emotions during the meal.


    Bary changed the subject and talked about the bidding they had won earlier. Winning the bid was undoubtedly a source of pride for theirpany, and there was an element of showing off in bringing it up now.


    “Dealing with the government can be a bit troublesome. To be honest, I regretpeting for it now,” Bary said.


    “Then you can terminate the contract,” Jesse said casually.


    “The cost of terminating the contract is too high, it’s not worth it.”


    Jesse shook the brandy in his ss and looked down at the liquor in his cup. Instead of immediately responding, he raised the ss and took a sip. The transparent liquid slid into his mouth, and as he swallowed it, a forbidden temptation seemed to emanate from him.Content is ? by N?velDrama.Org.


    He was normally reserved and controlled, not one to speak or smile easily. But the attractive line of his neck, the rolling of his Adam’s apple, and the moistened lips, seemed to stretch out an invisible hook that captured the eyes and held them fast.


    A lightugh pushed the atmosphere to its peak.


    “It seems Mr. Evans is not a good decision-maker.”


    The mocking tone, the slightly upturned corner of the mouth, and the coldnessced with a touch of arrogance.


    His gaze swept over Willette, who suddenly felt as if a bucket of ice water had been dumped over her head, extinguishing the spark that had just been ignited.


    Finally, his eyesnded on Bary’s face, the mockery still present in the corner of his mouth.


    Bary’s expression stiffened.


    When he spoke again, his tone was slightly strange.


    “Well, I’m still young and can’t be considered a good decision-maker yet. I need to learn and improve more. I hope Mr. Pascall can teach me if there is the chance. We’re still technically rted.”


    “Not yet.”


    Nydia didn’t expect Jesse to be so harsh towards Bary.


    She pinched her thigh to prevent herself fromughing out loud.


    Although Jesse was always known for speaking without mercy and being extremely sarcastic, he had only spoken to her in that way before. Hearing him talk to someone else like this now, Nydia found it quite enjoyable, and even wanted to p her hands and shout “Bravo!”.


    However, Willette misunderstood Jesse’s words and her cheeks turned slightly flushing. She wondered if Jesse was hinting at something.


    Although Jesse was very handsome and capable, he was still physically disabled. After all…


    “It’s just that we’re a bit slow. Your children are so grown up now, and we haven’t even gotten married yet. Mr. Pascall is right to urge us.”


    “…” Could it be interpreted this way?


    “In a few days, there will be a few developersing over, and I n to take them to y golf. Mr. Pascall, are you interested?”


    As soon as he finished speaking, the atmosphere instantly became tense.


    Nydia immediately looked at Jesse’s face and sure enough, Jesse’s expression became very unpleasant.


    “I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I forgot. Mr. Pascall, don’t be angry. I’ll punish myself with a drink.” Bary picked up his ss and drank, but Nydia noticed the smirk at the corner of his mouth. Obviously, he was intentionally provoking Jesse.


    “I thought you did it on purpose.” Jesse’s blunt response left Bary at a loss for words.


    He could only awkwardly smile and say, “How could I do it on purpose? I really forgot. After all, Mr. Pascall looks so outstanding, it’s easy to forget your ws.”


    Another blow!
