The Understated Dragon Lord novel Chapter 126

Brittany was taken aback, unsure of how to handle this new information. Daniel's clothes were picked out by Jessica? Brittany had just been mocking the fashion sense as that of a country bumpkin?

Coming to her senses, Brittany quickly tried to backtrack. "I was thinking exactly that—how can that outfit be so beautifully matched? So classy, so stylish? It turns out to be Jessica's choice, of course! Jessica has the best taste, unparalleled.

It’s just a waste on him, on this country boy. It can even be called a destruction of beauty; it's a disaster!"

"Brittany, if you bully Daniel again, I'll dock your bonus!"

"Jessica, why do you always side with him?"

"Do you have a problem with that?"

"I... I have no complaints."

Brittany fell silent. It seemed every time there was an issue between her and Daniel, Jessica would side with him. This thought alone infuriated Brittany! She was determined to drive this 'slut assistant' out of The Matthews Organization and away from Jessica.

That’s when Andrew made his entrance. He was clad in a crisp white Armani suit with gleaming hair and a million-dollar Rolex gold watch wrapped around his wrist—a glimpse was enough to identify him as a wealthy scion.

"Hi, Jessica!"

Andrew greeted her and extended his hand for a handshake. Jessica, however, did not respond, leaving Andrew slightly embarrassed as he hesitated to retract his hand.

Not one to prolong another's discomfort, Daniel quickly let go, explaining with an innocent smile.

"Sorry about that, Andrew! Growing up in the country, we may have many flaws, but we are known for our strength. Where I come from, the firmer your grip, the more polite you are when shaking hands."

"You country bumpkin, what an embarrassment! Do you think this place is meant for someone like you? A jerk like you should be thrown out by security!"

Andrew's tirade against Daniel provoked Jessica's displeasure. She stepped forward to defend him.

"Andrew, show some respect! Daniel is my assistant; disrespecting him is disrespecting me. You insulted Daniel for no reason; you owe him an apology. If not, this isn't over!"
