Forrest, who had not cooked properly in years, took out his phone and downloaded a recipe application.
On the way to a business meeting in the evening, he tapped on a recipe. There was a video. Suddenly, it rang. “Today, Ivan will teach everyone how to make chicken cutlets…”
Forrest was startled. He quickly closed the video. His secretary, who was driving in front, almost lost his grip on the steering wheel.
Was he hearing things? He actually heard President Lynch learning recipes.
He glanced at Forrest secretly. He had been feeling that President Lynch was acting weird that day. He would hold his phone and look at it many times for no reason. Could he possibly be in a relationship?
Thinking about that, the secretary had the urge to gossip.
When they arrived at the restaurant, Forrest shook the hands of a few contractors he was meeting.
“Sorry for making everyone wait. The road was congested,” Forrest said apologetically.
“It’s okay. We were chatting anyway,” Mr. Hardy said as he smiled.
“What were you guys talking about?” Forrest asked casually after taking his seat.
“It’s about Jessica of Snow Corporation resigning all of a sudden.” Mr. Brenner slapped his thigh and said, “I even bought millions of dollars worth of Snow Corporation’s shares last month. I’m guessing the share price will drop drastically when the market opens tomorrow. The public isn’t optimistic about Carson taking over. Ah, I’ll definitely suffer a loss this time.”
“Many of my friends bought their shares too. My Instagram is filled with complaints now.” Mr. Hardy sighed and said, “I heard that investments have been pulling out this evening. There will surely be a drastic drop. I just don’t understand it. Didn’t Jessica secure her position in Snow Corporation before this? Why is she suddenly resigning? It’s not even a temporary administrative leave.”
“There are rumors that Jason has returned to Snow Corporation, and he wants to support his son to take it over.”
“Forget it. Carson may be good at dating, but in business…” At the side, Mr. Watson shook his head. “Is Jason getting more muddle-headed as he’s getting older? Must it be a son? Look at how his son, Rodney, behaved before.”
“Never mind. Snow Corporation belongs to the Snow family. It has nothing to do with us. It’s just bad for us, the people with shares.””…”
Forrest listened to them discussing back and forth. It was as though his head had exploded. Jessica was fired?
How could that be possible?
He heard her saying that there were many things to take care of at the company just in the morning. She did not look like she was about to leave Snow Corporation at all.
Did something happen that day?
Forrest thought of Harold, whom he bumped into that morning. Harold was the son of Snow Corporation’s director. Did the Snow family find out that Jessica was married to Forrest and forced her to leave?
That was not possible either. Jessica was the boss of Snow Corporation. Who could force her? “President Lynch, your sister has a good relationship with the Snow family. Have you heard of any rumors?”
“President Lynch?”
The contractors called out to Forrest a few times. Only then did he slowly come to his senses. However, the expression on his handsome face was not really good.
“i’m not sure.” Forrest quickly calmed down. “Ill have my secretary communicate the collaboration’s details to you all. If you’re still interested in collaborating, we shall finalize everything as soon as possible. If not, you guys can take some time to consider it. L… Ihave some urgent matters to attend to…”
“Sure enough, President Lynch is a busy man. Haha.”
While his secretary introduced the proposal to the contractors, Forrest took out his phone and sent Jessica a message: (Did you resign?]
After a minute, there was still no reply.
Forrest was restless. He walked out to give Jessica a call. She did not pick up.
When he returned to the private room, the contractors saw that he was distracted. They said, “President Lynch, if you really have urgent matters to attend to, why don’t you leave first? We can meet up another day.”
“Mm.”
Forrest could no longer remain there as well. After he left, he drove straight to Snow Corporation.
That morning, Jessica had gotten out of his car here. He was back at the same place, and it was not even 4:00 p.m.
He could not head up rashly because of his identity. He could only take his phone and continue calling Jessica. However, no one picked up.
Forrest frowned in frustration. He gripped his phone tightly.
“How do you still have the audacity to show up here?”
A luxury car stopped behind Forrest. Harold got down from the car in a neat suit and walked toward Forrest while buttoning up.
Forrest looked back and watched Harold expressionlessly.
After eyeing Forrest, Harold sighed resignedly all of a sudden. “Mr. Lynch, you’ve caused Jessica great trouble. Because of you, her restraint and effort all these years have gone to waste.”
“What are you trying to say?” Forrest’s gaze turned cold.
Harold looked down on Forrest as he studied his expressionless face. However, he still used an earnest tone to advise him, “Uncle Nathan and the rest have found out about you. Jessica hada big fight with them because of you. Didn’t you see the news that she was removed from her position as president? She expanded Snow Corporation with so much hard work and developed the company to its current scale. In the end, all of the benefits went to Carson. If I were you and if you really love her, I’d definitely leave quietly so as to not weigh her down.”
Harold thought that Forrest only got involved with Jessica for her influence.
Since she was no longer the president of Snow Corporation, Forrest would surely panic upon hearing the news.
“So… You’re telling me this… to let me know that Jessica gave up on the company for my sake?” Forrest’s expressionless face finally tensed. Harold was stunned. He felt that Forrest’s question was weird. Was that the main point to him? “Yes. Anyway, she can’t even remain in Snow Corporation because of you. The Snow family will never accept you and Jessica being together. I’d advise you to give up as soon as possible. The things that don’t belong to you will never be yours. You and Jessica live in totally different worlds.”
After rubbing salt into Forrest’s wound, Harold left in long strides.
In his opinion, Forrest was an ambitious person, so he would be wise too. Harold hoped Forrest would leave Jessica as soon as possible. After all, he never expected that Jessica, who usually seemed like an intelligent person, would be so stupid in relationships. She even gave up a company for a man.
Since Jessica could not even think straight when she was in love, Harold had to get her.
Forrest remained where he stood in a daze. Although his handsome face was still cold, he felt overwhelmed.
He knew that Jessica’s resignation had something to do with him from Harold’s words.
In the past, Forrest always thought Jessica did not love him. He even hated her. However, it was only then that he realized how much Jessica cared about him.
She could even give up Snow Corporation for him. He was really not a true man. Jessica loved him so much, yet he kept suspecting her and hurt her with many nasty words.
He was not worth her treating him that well.
As Forrest thought about it, his eyes reddened. Then, his phone rang. It was Jessica who called. ” Why did you come to my company? I was ina meeting just now, so I missed your call. Where are you?”
“i’m at the spot where I dropped you off this morning.” When Forrest heard her voice, he could not keep calm. “What time are you getting off work? I have a lot of things to say to you.”
“Are you going to ask me about my resignation?” Jessica said in a low voice. “I just feel exhausted and want to rest. Besides, Carson isn’t young anymore. I hope he can be more mature after I leave—“
“Alright. Stop making excuses. I’m not a fool.” Forrest interrupted Jessica agitatedly. The more she explained, the more she was covering things up. “I know everything. Did you resign because you had a fight with your parents about me?” “…”
Jessica was taken aback. Although that was partially the reason, how did he find out? It seemed that he had added quite a bit of his imagination too.
Hearing the silence on the other side of the call, Forrest was sure of it. He shouted in frustration, ” Jessica, why are you so foolish? Is it worth doing this for me? I haven’t been treating you well. I even hurt you, got angry at you, and misunderstood you. I’m not worth you doing this for me at all.”
“…”
How did Forrest have such self-awareness all of a sudden? Jessica did not know what to say. However, she did not know that Forrest became even more flustered with her silence. “Jessica, I’ve figured everything out. I shouldn’t have kept hating you in the past. I’ve never stood in your perspective to think about everything. Let’s let bygones be bygones, okay? I swear that no matter who you are or what your identity is in the future, I… I’L] never leave you.”
After Forrest spoke, he went silent as well. That was because his face was blushing.
He had always been more of a reserved person. He rarely revealed his inner thoughts.
He was just touched at this moment because of Jessica.
It was like what Ryan said. Jessica was making an effort to be with Forrest, so he had to work hard as well.
In the past, Forrest had accused her of being selfish for benefits. However, she had even abandoned her career for him now. If he still questioned her feelings, it would be inhumane of him.
Thinking about it, he never seemed to have sacrificed anything for Jessica’s sake. He simply blamed her for betraying their relationship back then.
“Forrest…”
On the other end of the call, Jessica’s heart raced. She did not understand Forrest’s sudden change. ” There’s still an hour until I get off work…” “I’ll wait for you downstairs,” Forrest said hastily.
