They Want Me Back When It's Too Late (Jessica and Brian) novel Chapter 163

Chapter 163

The chef was a middle–aged man in his forties, tall and sturdy. Yet he stood with a slight hunch, adopting a subordinate’s posture as he addressed Jessica.

“Boss?” Jessica asked, confused. “You’re calling me boss?” This man certainly didn’t look like a Grant Group employee.

“You can go now.” Before Jessica could voice her confusion, Brian dismissed the chef.

The chef frowned, accustomed to taking orders only from his boss. But seeing Brian’s commanding presence, he hesitated. When Jessica didn’t object. he muttered “Excuse me” and left.

When the previous owner of the restaurant sold the business, the chef had signed a new contract as part of the deal. Brian had offered him triple his previous salary for a three–year contract.

That was how the chef knew Jessica was the new owner of the restaurant.

“What’s going on here?” Jessica asked, puzzled. Brian picked up a green date from the platter, wiped it clean, made sure it was spotless, and handed her.

“I noticed you really like this taco place, so I bought it.” Brian paused. “It’s in your name. If you’re interested, I can have Jackson send you the operational details and financials later.”

Jessica was slightly stunned. She thought to herself in disbelief, ‘That ‘sucker‘ who paid the 3 million dollar transfer fee was Brian? Just because

and went there two or three times?‘

Noticing the speechless look in Jessica’s eyes, Brian took the opportunity to gently squeeze her hand.

He said, “The taco shop is doing well, generating profits of over a hundred thousand dollars each month.” I had Jackson hire a professional manager in this field, so profits will be even higher.”

He understood Jessica wasn’t someone who made decisions based on emotions.

Although the taco shop’s profits were small, as long as it didn’t lose money under their management, it was still a business venture

As Brian held her hand, Jessica glanced at it, pretending not to notice his move.

After dinner, Brian knew she had to go back to the office to work overtime. He let her rest for half an hour after the meal before driving her back to Grant

Group.

The next day, Jessica came to Inkspire Studio as usual for her half–day shift. As noon approached, she tidied up her desk and was about to pack up and leave when Sana knocked and entered.

“Jessi, did you go see Wesley?” Sana asked.

Jessica thought Wesley had told her and nodded slightly. She didn’t know that Sana actually had informants. Any beautiful woman who appeared near Wesley would be reported to Sana, and they’d eyen taken photos to send to her.

Sana had recognized Jessica from the side profile in the photo.

“What did Wesley say ” Sana didn’t finish her sentence. Noticing Jessica’s coldness and knowing this concerned her private matters, she smiled, “Sorry, Jessi, I don’t mean to pry into your personal business, though I really do want to care about you.”

Sana acted as if she didn’t notice Jessica’s deliberate coldness. She leaned down close to Jessica. “So, Jessi “She blinkend coply. “Did Wesley mention anything about me?”
