"Nothing." Moses sat down on the couch, "I just came to ask, at the banquet...did anything happen?"
"I was just about to change my clothes and look for you!" Jessica fiddled with the freshly changed garment, "Huangfu Jue was also at the banquet today, and he had a private chat with Miss Gaia for a while."
"Alone?" Moses frowned displeased, "And you?"
"I..." Jessica bit her lip, casting down her long eyelashes, "I just went to the restroom."
The humiliation of being seen completely by Will, she would not confess; it was just too embarrassing...
"You got off easy this time, I won’t hold it against you!" Moses narrowed his eyes dangerously, "But this is the last time."
"Yes, sir." Jessica immediately straightened, "I promise you, there won’t be a next time. From now on, when I go out, I will stay close to Miss Gaia’s side."
Moses corrected her form of address, "Miss Gaia!"
Her name was not something just anyone could call her.
"Yes." Jessica hastily complied.
She escorted Moses to the door and watched him walk away before she finally breathed a sigh of relief. Turning around, she saw Will’s coat carelessly hung in the foyer; she immediately yanked it down and threw it on the carpet, angrily stamping on it a few times.
"Jerk, getting me scolded, I’ll stomp, I’ll stomp, I’ll stomp you to death...ouch!" Her toe stung from a button, and she hopped on her foot, cursing aloud, "Damn it, I’m throwing you out right now!"
Bending down to pick up Will’s coat, she walked briskly to the trash can and flung the garment into it.
The coat half-landed in the garbage bin when something slid out from the inner pocket and dropped onto the carpet.
Jessica walked over curiously and picked up the object from the carpet—it was a room card in a paper sleeve, with a gold emboss, in the middle the hotel’s logo, and in the bottom right corner, elegant cursive writing with the hotel’s name and address.
As her gaze fell on the room number written on the paper sleeve, the corners of Jessica’s lips curled up slightly.
"Empire Hotel room 3907, dear Colonel, are you really sure it’s okay to entrust this to me?"
Huangfu Jue stepped into the elevator, a smile crossing his lips again as he remembered the previous incident.
Aside, Will had already taken note of his unusual demeanor.
Since the incident, it had been several days since he had seen a smile on his own face.
Could it be that the conversation he just had with Miss Gan had made some favorable progress?
Curious in his heart, Will naturally did not dare to ask more.
"Return a call to Marquis Smith, tell him I accept his invitation to visit the Freedom Party Headquarters."
"What?!" Will looked over in astonishment, "Are you...are you sure?"
Before, he had flatly refused, so why was he changing his mind now?
Huangfu Jue did not explain, continuing on his own, "Also...make a call to the company and have them send me the latest baby products catalog."
Will was almost doubting his ears, "You mean...a baby products catalog?"
He emphasized the last few words. If Huangfu Jue had been talking about the new season’s children’s products, he wouldn’t be surprised, given there was Gan Tang. But babies...
"That’s right!" Huangfu Jue stepped out as the elevator doors parted, "Also, compile a list of the best maternity hospitals in the Capital for me."
Without waiting for Will’s response, he had already turned around, his expression serious as he reminded,
"This matter, must be kept absolutely confidential."
