    Chapter 157 Stay at My ce


    Nathaniel pulled a long face.


    He thought, J doesn’t even want to look at me?


    As soon as J arrived downstairs, she saw Anastasia standing in the hotel lobby, waiting for


    Nathaniel.


    J wanted to walk past Anastasia, but thetter deliberately stood in front of her, looking arrogant.


    “You are cheeky enough to stick around.”


    “I should be the one saying this to you. Doesn’t your face hurt?” J looked at Anastasia’s red and


    swollen face, wanting tough.


    After all, she pped Anastasia hardst night.


    ‘J!”


    Anastasia gnashed her teeth in hatred, but the second she saw Nathaniel, her expression changed


    instantly.


    “Nathaniel, I’ve been waiting for you downstairs for a long time. Let’s go to the venue together.”


    Anastasia was about to hold Nathaniel’s arm, but he dodged imperceptibly.


    He nced at J. Seeing that she was indifferent, he pursed his lips and asked Anastasia in a deep


    voice, “Why are you still here?”


    Anastasia’s smile froze on her face, but she quickly collected herself and said coquettishly. “You’ve


    been working so hard. Of course, I’ll


    stay with you.”


    After saying this, she got into Nathaniel’s car naturally, certain that he wouldn’t throw her out in front of


    so many people.


    He frowned unhappily, but he didn’t say anything, allowing her to do so silently.


    J and Nathaniel arrived at the venue one after the other.


    It wasn’t big news. After all, the others had seen them before at the opening ceremony.


    Yet Anastasia’s appearance still caused quite a bit of an uproar.


    Many people present knew what had happened at Nathaniel’s wedding. Yesterday, everyone had been


    guessing whether Nathaniel and J might get back together. They were surprised to see him


    showing up with Anastasia today.


    They thought, he managed to put up with it after what happened. It seems that he loves her indeed.


    Therefore, the people present looked at them meaningfully, and someone even sized Anastasia up


    with an obscene look in their eyes.


    Anastasia felt disgusted, but she didn’t dare to make a scene. She could only force herself to straighten


    her back and walk next to


    Nathaniel, looking like his wife.


    After all the participants were seated, the organizer announced thepetition rules.


    “Thank you foring to the bidding today. I would like to announce thepetition rules now. First of


    all, the representatives of the


    enterprises participating in thepetition need to exin their understanding of thepeting


    software, their operation philosophy, and


    the following operation mode.


    “The bidding will begin after all the representatives finish their boration. You may feel free to bid at


    any time during the bidding process,


    and the procedures will be the same as an auction, but It doesn’t mean that the highest bidder will win.


    The software owners will be


    selected based on the presentation performance and the final bidding result.”


    After the organizer announced the rules, the representatives ofpetingpanies began to get


    excited.


    ording to the order, the software introduced first was the product of the otherpanies that came


    to the Convention this time. J


    and Nathaniel were not interested, so they did not pay much attention to it.


    Most of thepetitors knew that they were notpetitive against the Webster Group, so they

    epted the truth and began to bid.


    Of course, there were a few who still wanted to give it a go.


    After all, the organizer said that money wasn’t the only decisive factor here. In other words, the highest


    bidder wasn’t necessarily the


    winner.


    J sat down in the first row, and Nigel was beside her.


    Seeing the faint dark circles under her eyes, Nigel frowned slightly. “You didn’t sleep wellst night?”


    Of course, J would not tell him what had happenedst night. She shook her head and said, “I’m


    fine. I was just having a little trouble


    sleeping.”


    “You are staying in a hotel. Of course, it cannot be asfy as staying at home.” Nigel was a little


    worried. Therefore, he solemnly


    proposed again, “Stay at my ce.”


    His voice was neither too loud nor too low, but it was just enough for Nathaniel, who was not far away,


    to hear.
