"You... You must misunderstand, I... I don’t like her, I wish I could tear her to pieces, it’s just because... so... you..."
"Enough," Huangfu Jue frowned and interrupted him, "I’m not actually asking you to chase after her."
Will let out a sigh of relief in secret, "Then what, sir?"
"Tonight I need to meet with Ayuan, and I need you to find a way to hold her up, don’t give her a chance to find out."
In the few times they’d met, Jessica was always by Gan Yuan’s side; it was apparent that she must be Moses’ spy placed beside Gan Yuan, and he absolutely couldn’t let her catch wind of his dealings with Gan Yuan.
Will blinked, then looked at him with a surprised delight.
"You... You and Miss Gan..."
Huangfu Jue didn’t hide anything, as he trusted Will completely, so there was no intent to keep him in the dark.
"That’s great!" A joyful smile immediately spread across Will’s face.
No wonder his mood had changed completely since coming back from the banquet yesterday; it turned out that he had already cleared up the misunderstanding with Gan Yuan.
"Then Miss Gan, she..."
"She’s entering the election, we must maintain a hostile stance for now."
Will suddenly understood; no wonder he had been collecting information on all the election candidates and keeping an eye on Adam— all to help Gan Yuan.
The "most suitable leader" he mentioned must be referring to Gan Yuan.
If Gan Yuan were to succeed in the election, she would have enough influence to stand shoulder to shoulder with Huangfu Jue in battle. At that point, who would dare to question her?
"Congratulations, sir!"
Will’s face was filled with joyous expressions.
Having witnessed firsthand how the two met again and gradually came together, only Will knew what Gan Yuan meant to Huangfu Jue. Watching him distressed and sad these past days yet unable to share his burden, now finally hearing good news, Will was genuinely happy for them, happy for Gan Tang.
"Rest assured, sir, I’ll handle the Jessica situation."
Will agreed without hesitation and after leaving Huangfu Jue’s room, his brow furrowed again.
Keeping her occupied for the whole night seemed easy to say but doing it was far from simple...
Pressing his still-throbbing temples, recalling Jessica’s winking and grimacing in the elevator, Will started grinding his teeth in secret again.
That brat, now it’s my turn to repay you!
As long as he kept her busy, who said he had to chase after her.
He wanted nothing to do with such a tigress!
Will stopped in front of his subordinates who were passing by in the corridor, "Did you find out what I asked for?"
"Yes, Mr. Will." The subordinate immediately handed him a slip of paper, "This is the hotel address and room number, and below is her mobile number."
He knew that the girl had found out his room number because she had picked up his room card.
He didn’t have her room card, but he had his brains. To investigate her in return was certainly no difficult feat.
"She went to the GM Building earlier with Miss Gan and others, and should still be inside now."
"Good." Will pocketed the address, "You all take good care of the Duke, I need to step out for a bit."
Once downstairs, Will got into a car alone and quickly arrived at the base of the GM Building.
Pulling out his phone, he dialed the number from the slip of paper.
The call connected quickly, and the familiar female voice resounded in his ear.
On the other end of the phone, Jessica recognized his voice and her lips curled into a light smile.
"Colonel Will, what can I do for you?"
Sorry, it’s late again.
