Chapter 120
Chapter 120
Not long after, Gabriela arrived. The three of them ate tacos together. Gradually, the relationship between Jessica and Sana grew closer.
At around ten in the morning, Madeline knocked on the door of the CEO’s Office. She said, “Mr. Atkinson, would you like to have some hot soup?”
Brian in the office asked unhappily, “Where did this soup come from?”
There was a glimmer of expectation in Brian’s eyes, which he wasn’t even aware of. He hoped the soup was brought by Jessica.
Madeline walked over and poured out the soup that had been kept warm for the whole morning. “I made this last night.”
Seeing Brian’s expression change, she quickly added, “I heard that your stomach would feel uncomfortable the next day after you drank alcohol, so i made this soup for you.”
She didn’t hear this from Jessica.
Last night, Brian attended a business reception with business partners. Although Brian didn’t have to drink because of his status, he still needed to drink some to show his sincerity.
Before, Jessica felt distressed for Brian and tried to avoid him drinking.
At that time, Brian had just taken over Atkinson Group. He was facing obstacles from the board of directors and had to find big clients himself, so he often had to attend business receptions. Madeline had heard Jessica talk about this.
At that time, Jessica was worried about Brian, and Madeline also felt sorry for Brian as she learned that from Jessica. Her impression of the unreachable Brian gradually decreased to a place where she could touch him.
Brian thought Madeline was deliberately avoiding talking about Jessica in front of him.
He was a little drunk last night. When he got home, he couldn’t have the ginger drink and the hangover medicine prepared by Jessica. The stomachache that wasn’t obvious in the morning was getting more and more unbearable now.
Looking at the soup, Brian had the illusion that it was cooked by Jessica. When Madeline handed over the soup spoon, Brian took it and said, “Thank
you.”
“It’s okay.” Madeline was delighted. Brian drinking her soup meant he accepted her care.
However, Brian didn’t think much about it. All he could think of was Jessica.
After he finished the soup, Madeline cleaned up the tableware and went out. At this time, Brian’s stomachache gradually subsided.
Then, Jackson entered Brian’s office and held the purchase contract of the taco store Jessica often went to. “Mr. Atkinson, the store manager is asking for a transfer fee of three million dollars,” he said.
The taco store had a booming business and was making money, so the store manager was reluctant to sell it.
Jackson negotiated with the store manager, and the owner of the taco store finally offered a transfer fee of three million dollars.
Brian frowned and threw the tissue he had used to wipe his mouth into the trash can.
Brian reached out, and Jackson handed over the folder, which contained the information about the taco store.
Jackson said, “According to the confirmation, the monthly turnover of the store is between two hundred thousand and three hundred thousand dollars, and the profit is about three hundred thousand dollars.”
