Chapter 204
When Jessica heard this, her body felt even weaker.
Her hands kept stirring her clothes. She looked like a student who had made a mistake and was
waiting for the teacher’s scolding.
Peter took a heavy sigh in his heart.
This little girl must have never lied since she was young.
Even such a trivial lie could be a challenge for her.
“Did you hear that?” Marina’s tone became even harsher when she saw that Peter was still staring at
Jessica.
“Alright, I understand,” Peter replied casually.
“Fine, you can leave now. I’ll take care of it,” Marina said and started to push him out of the study.
Petere’s gazended on Jessica.
He seemed to be looking forward to this little girl doing something to keep him.
However, Jessica did not even dare to look at him.
Jessica would never lie in her life.
She was really afraid that she would expose their rtionship the moment she took a look at Peter.
Therefore, she simply pretended not to see him.
When Peter saw the way Jessica ignored him, he could not help but feel frustrated..
It’s hard topletely win her heart.
They had been with each other for so long just now, but once Marina came back, she became unwilling
to look at him anymore.
“Why are you still standing here?” Marina gave Peter an impatient look.
“Got it.” Peter put back his broken heart and slowly walked out of the study.
As soon as he left, the room instantly fell into silence.
Marina walked up to Jessica and looked at the still–fading glow on her face.
“Peter is good at everything. He is loyal and smart but never pays attention to his private life,” she said
seriously.
She added, “When working around him, you must be careful. If he bullies you, you must tell me. I’ll
teach him a lesson!”
“… Mm.” When Jessica heard this, she did not even know where to look.
“By the way, which book do you want? I’ll get it for you,” Marina said.
“Take… the one up there.” Obviously, Peter’s words wereplete nonsense.
So Jessica had to casually point at one book.
Marina pushed adder over and took the book that Jessica had chosen.

“Huh? French? Are you learning French?” Marina nced at the book’s title.
Chapte? 204
“… I’m going to learn it too.” Jessica was a little stunned when she heard this.
Actually, she was now learning Korean.
This material belongs to N?velDrama.Org.
However, since she had already said it, she could not deny it. She could only bite the bullet and agree,
“It’s a little difficult to learn French, and there are some pronunciations that you can’t learn properly. I’ll
find you a French teacher so that you can learn it
systematically.
“Still, this book is too difficult for beginners. You might not understand it very well. Let me help you pick
another one,” Marina said.
“Okay.” What else could she do? She had no choice but to ept Marina’s suggestions one by one.
Finally, Marina chose a few basic–level French books for Jessica.
“These are rtively simple, and they’re illustrated, very suitable for beginners,” Marina said.
“Thank you.” Jessica took it solemnly.
“By the way, we haven’t seen each other in a while. Why don’t you stay tonight? I’ll get the kitchen to
prepare some food for you. You look like you’ve lost weight.
“Did Peter squeeze you at work?” Marina looked at Jessica with great care.
“No, no, Peter… Mr. Moore is very considerate to subordinates,” Jessica exined..
“That’s good. Let’s go.” Marina led Jessica out of the study.
After they left, Marina immediately saw Peter leaning against the wall.
“Why are you still here?” Marina frowned.
“Of course, I’m waiting for my secretary. The world has really changed. In the past, it was the secretary
that waited for the boss, but now, things seem to be the contrary.” Peter’s gaze passed through Marina
and slowlynded on Jessica.
“What do you mean by boss and secretary? Jessica is my sister. I’m just asking her to learn from you
for the time being. I’m not really asking her to work for you.” Marina nted him.
“That’s right. But have you seen anyone who works for me that can make me wait for her for so long?
By the way, I drive her to and from work every day and provide free food and amodation,” Peter
said airly.
Then, he looked at Jessica. “Let’s go, my secretary. I’ll take you home.”
“No need. She’s staying here tonight.” Marina directly rejected Peter.
“What? Stay here?” When Peter heard this, his eyes could not help but flicker.
He immediately looked at Jessica as if he wanted to verify it with her.
“Um, Mr. Moore… You can go back first. I haven’t seen Marina in a long time. I want to… sleep with her
today,” Jessica said stiffly.
“But you just promised me that you would go back and do more work tonight.” Peter narrowed his dark
eyes.
“More work? Fuck you! Don’t you know what time it is now? This is how you get her exploited. That
exined why she has lost weight so much.” Before Jessica could peak, Marina reproached Peter
harshly.
Then, she led Jessica downstairs.
Peter was a little embarrassed by this reprimand
He rubbed his nose guiltily and followed them.
He didn’t exploit Jessica at work.
But maybe he had exploited her somewhere else if that can be called exploitation.
Marina went downstairs and instructed the servants to prepare dinner.
Unexpectedly, when she turned around, she saw Peter still following behind.
“Why haven’t you left yet?” Marina was getting impatient.
It was the first time that she had found that Peter Moore was such a clingy person.
“You’re going to have dinner, right? I haven’t eaten either. Let them make another serving,” Peter said
as he sat at the dining table.
Usually keeping him at home for a meal was just like squeezing water from a stone.
It happened once in a blue moon that he asked to stay for dinner.
Jessica was standing beside Marina and kept winking at Peter.
She told him to stop fooling around and leave quickly.
However, Peter acted as if he did not see anything and sat on the chair.
Jessica had no choice but to let him be.
But for the rest of the time, she did not nce in his direction.
During the meal, she buried her head in her food.
When Marina saw Jessica’s weird behaviors, she felt that Peter must have ruthlessly exploited
Jessica.
She silently took revenge on Peter in her heart.
The innocent Peter had no idea that Marina had already held a grudge against him.
He quietly stretched his leg in the direction of Jessica.
The next moment, Jessica screamed in shock.
“What’s wrong?” Marina immediately looked over.
