They Want Me Back When It's Too Late (Jessica and Brian) novel Chapter 62

Chapter 62

Madeline thought bitterly, I don’t believe Jessica is so good that everyone truly respects her. Sure, she’s capable, but only a little more than me. The reason they all listen to her orders must be because she’s Brian’s wife!

Madeline was secretly consumed by jealousy. She refused to believe that Jessica, who had been a housewife for years, could surpass her, someone who had been immersed in the workplace day in and day out.

In her eyes, Jessica’s only advantage was the title of being Brian’s wife.

Sensing Madeline’s hostile gaze, Jessica met her eyes coldly in return.

Brian’s brows furrowed slightly as he noticed Jessica’s icy stare. He turned to glance at Madeline, who lowered her head with a look of grievance.

Brian sighed in his mind. ‘How deep is Jessica’s prejudice against Madeline? Even during such an important meeting, she still finds time to glare at her.

Brian pressed his lips into a thin line and gave Jessica a warning glance, signaling her to restrain herself.

Jessica sneered inwardly. All I did was give Madeline a cold look, and Brian immediately jumped to shield her. How damn sweet he is.

The memory of Brian insisting on not divorcing her while turning around to protect Madeline at every turn made Jessica feel sick.

After handing over the remaining projects, only two folders were left on the table in front of her.

She opened them and pushed them to the center of the table. “These are the contracts for the ClearSky Plan and WaterFlow Program. See who among you is most suitable to follow up.”

Someone whispered, “ClearSky Plan and WaterFlow Program?”

A gasp spread through the room. Tsk, she actually secured those two major projects without saying a word?”

A clerk exclaimed, “Incredible. So many companies are still trying to book meetings with the project leads, and Jessica’s already signed the

contracts.

A manager asked, “Oh, Jessica, when did you sign these? We didn’t even catch a whisper of it.”

Jessica remained silent. The members of the project department eagerly flipped through the contracts, each stamped with the official seals of both involved companies.

Madeline watched everyone showering Jessica with praise. Madeline scoffed to herself, ‘She must’ve leveraged Brian’s connections to get those contracts. It has nothing to do with her own capabilities.

Brian frowned, sensing something was off. His cold eyes stared at Jessica with growing suspicion.

Brian was anxious. He was afraid that if she left for real, then he’d have even fewer ties to her.

Madeline made a show of walking out, but after pushing the door halfway shut, she opened it again. Her eyes glistened with unshed tears as she walked toward Jessica. “Jessi, if you think I affected your relationship with Jacob, I apologize. Please don’t resign.”

She appeared to be holding back her emotions, implying indirectly that Jessica was being impulsive and possibly using the situation to manipulate

Brian

But in her mind, Madeline couldn’t be more thrilled about Jessica’s resignation.
