Love Slave to My Devil CEO Boss 18+ novel Chapter 261

“Did you see a ghost or something, Karina?” Jeremy asked me teasingly.

“No. Why?” I replied.

“Your face is as white as a sheet. Please tell me that you found something useful…” he said hopefully.

“I did…I think…” I mumbled.

“Really? Show me…” he urged excitedly.

“I took some notes. I’ll show you tomorrow…” I mumbled.

“Why can’t you show me now? Are you in a hurry to head back?” he asked with clear disappointment.

“Yeah, I need to head back. Sorry…” I replied.

“What did you find exactly?” he asked as his eyes narrowed at me suspiciously.

He wouldn’t truly understand it even if I tried to explain it to him. I smiled a little regretfully at Jeremy before deciding to give him a simplified answer instead.

“A marketing plan…” I replied quite truthfully.

Jeremy’s head cocked to the side as he shot me a truly confused look and I didn’t blame him for reacting that way. I wished that I could explain what I found to him, but my mind couldn’t focus on work any longer at that moment.

“I’ll come to work early tomorrow, and I’ll explain everything to you then. Umm…don’t sleep late tonight, I’ll get some ideas sorted and ready for presentation in tomorrow’s meeting, ok?” I told him as I stuffed things into my bag.

Jeremy watched silently as I prepared to leave. I gave him a soft pat on his shoulder as I walked past him to reassure him that I’ve got this. He didn’t stop me from leaving and when the door to our office room closed behind me, I looked down to find that my hands were trembling visibly.

What did I just see?

…

Focus. Focus. Focus.

“Rina, how was your day?” he asked casually.

“It was great. We were busy but I think everything will go well…soon…” I replied.

My eyes glanced over at the ideas that I had down on my computer screen. If only one of these would make the cut, then there would be some progress and everything would go well.

“I see. Hang in there. I haven’t heard back from Julianna on the marketing aspect of things. I guess she’s waiting for you and Jeremy to come up with something interesting…” he said followed by a small laugh.

No pressure…at all there.

“I’m trying…” I replied vaguely without going into the details.

“I’m sure that you are. Don’t over work yourself and get enough sleep,” he advised.
