“Grandpa, here is your favorite fish.”
“The Blood Nest they served is so good for maintaining beauty. Sophia, you should drink more.”
“Uncle, this is especially ordered for you.”
“Ray, you have been abroad for many years. Haven’t you eaten their goose liver for a long time? This time it tastes better, have a try…”
Amelia was very considerate. It seemed that she knew clearly about everyone’s flavors.
And after all those behaviors, the atmosphere in the room was very good because of her.
It seemed like she was the hostess here.
Jess sat beside silently and ignored Amelia.
In the half time of the meal, Sophia asked, seeming to be in a casual way, “Ray, recently you have been building a company, how is it?”
While she asked, almost everyone looked at Ray.
Ray lightly answered, “It’s close to an end. It will be over if we hire the rest important personnel!”
He seemed unwilling to talk about it at the dinner table. He said nothing more than just a word.
Sophia turned her mind and said, “Would you like Amelia to join the company to help you? She also studied business management in college and knows how to design. She can temporarily join as your assistant, or the designer. Besides, you grow up together and know well about each other.
With such words, Sophia also wanted to stop Ruby going to the company.
In her opinion, it would be better if Amelia joined the company than offering Ruby the chance.
She watched Amelia grow up and trusted her.
While speaking, Sophia glanced at Jess.
Jess froze a moment and her hand stopped for a moment.
It was the reason that she and Ray had been arguing these days.
Even the servants at home knew it.
Why did Sophia talk about it in a sudden?
Apparently, Ray did not expect that Sophia would talk about it now. He also froze a moment and subconsciously took a look at Jess.
Her hand still held the chopsticks, but there was no responsive look on the face. It seemed that this had nothing with her.
Seeing her like this, Ray couldn’t help raising his eyebrows and carefully thinking about it.
Amelia was full of expectation, fixing her eyes on Ray.
Seeing this, Sophia hit her husband by the arm. And he assisted, “Amelia always is a good and thoughtful girl. If she joins the company, you will be less burdened for her help.
Sophia added, “Thar’s right. Your father and I watch her grow up. You also know that she has been excellent since she was a child. She will definitely help you a lot when she is there.”
Both the couple spoke for Amelia. She was glad inside that Sophia had the same idea with her.
However, Ray did not speak, which made her anxious, she was also anxious, clenching her hands on the table.
As long as she can successfully join Ray’s company, they will meet more in the future.
Maybe they will fall in love. What will Jess be then?
For a long while, Ray nodded. “OK. But whether you can stay depends on the follow-up performance.”
“Ray, please feel relieved. I will definitely help you and never do anything to damage the company.”
Seeing him agreed, Amelia was very happy and deliberately glanced at Jess with pride.
The room was full of joy, and Jess felt that she was an outsider.
Grandpa Chandler grabbed her hand and suddenly said, “Ray, since your company is short of employees, also let Ruby go there. I have heard from the butler that Ruby is very talented in design, which is just right for your company. It is better to let her in than being idle at home.”
As soon as he finished words, Sophia changed her face and fiercely glanced at Jess, “Dad, you are kidding. With little ability, how can she help the company? She will make some troubles.”
“Dad, if both them go to the company, probably in the future, some people will say that we only appoint relatives.”
Grandpa Chandler seriously raised his eyebrows. He recently heard a lot that Ruby was good at design but he didn’t pay attention.
Ruby had been in the house for a year. It was enough for them to know well about her.
“Who dares!”
Grandpa Chandler said with some anger, “Nobody is allowed to make irresponsible remarks about our family’s business.”
The atmosphere was tensed suddenly. Sophia wanted to talk but stopped. She had no courage to confront her father. Instead, she glared at Jess.
Amelia, who sit across from them, said nothing and nervously stared at Ray when hearing that grandpa Chandler wanted Ruby to join the company.
She knew that Ray refused Ruby.
But she couldn’t guarantee it if grandpa gave the pressure.
She scolded beneath the heart, “Old man, he prefers Ruby no matter what.”
The atmosphere in the room froze suddenly. Ray was interrupted by the bell when he was going to say something.
It was from Ruby’s phone.
Her phone was put on the table. With one glance, Ray saw Clyde’s name.
His face sank suddenly.
“Sorry, I need to go out to answer this call.” After words, Jess took the phone and went out.
“Hello?” Jess took up the phone and asked,” May I help you?”
The other side of the phone was hesitating for a while and said,” I’m Clyde Lowell. I’m sorry to bother. I’m making this call to ask that have you made you decision about the thing you considered.”
Clyde’s voice was polite and mild making people amused.
Even though, Jess said politely,” My apology. I may not accept your invitation.”
The rigorous words of Ray seemed to replaying beside her ears.
They had unpleasant arguments because of this. She did not want any trouble anymore.
She tried to hang up the phone as she was saying but stopped by Clyde’s voice.
“Miss. Rogers, are you worrying about anything? Are my conditions do not fit your mind? If they are not, you can make any requirements except relating to shares. I will do my best to fulfill them for you.”
Clyde said sincerely.
Jess’s temple pumped when she heard his words,” No, in fact… Your conditions, I’m very satisfied, but…”
Clyde understood something. His voice grew mild again,” Is there anything hard to speak for Miss. Rogers? I’m really admiring your talent. It will be the loss of the costume designing industry if your talent is buried. Therefore, I wish you not to refuse me.”
Jess took a deep breath. She was moved since Clyde was trying hard to persuade her.
“Clyde Lowell, thank you for approving me.”
She could feel the sincerity of him, but she could not help now.
“You are welcome. I can see Miss. Rogers’s ability. I think our brand will be well known domestic and overseas since the combination of us. We will make a lot of money in the future, too. I promise you to gain both fame and wealth for sure.”
Clyde persuaded again and again. He was itching that he wished Jess to accept his conditions.
Jess pressed her lips a little. She had been out for a while so she changed the subject of talking,” Mr. Lowell, it’s not convenient for me now. It’s talk later.”
Clyde was astonished,” My apology. How about we make an appointment and talk face by face.”
She could feel the unusual atmosphere in the box behind her even though there was a door in between.
“I’m sorry. It’s really not the time for talking now.”
Jess hung up the phone in hurry and returned to the box.
Sophia changed her expression when she saw Jess was returned with a phone in her hand. Her tone was also mystifying,” It is hard to gather all the family to have a dinner. How could you still be so busy and left the elders waiting for you.”
“My apology!” Jess bent her body a little to show her apology then she pulled the chair and sat down.
She was embarrassed since there were many pairs of eyes looking at her.
“It was only a call.”
Grandpa Chandler wanted to take Jess out of the awkward situation, but it could tell that he was not happy with the words of Sophia.
The air seemed to be froze suddenly. Sophia’s face turned between green and red since she was embarrassed but she did not dare to offend her husband’s father.
Sophia did not dare to talk more. Her husband tried to warm up the atmosphere,” Please, please, the dishes will be cold later.”
Jess’s phone rang again when his voice had not settled down yet.
Not only Sophia but also her husband was unhappy on his face this time.
Amelia snorted lightly. She was not satisfied with Jess obviously but no one noticed her.
The screen of the phone flashed ceaselessly. The name, Clyde Lowell on it was offending to Ray’s eyes.
His indifferent face grew more gloomy. He could not help to raising his head and glanced at Jess.
What was going on between she and that Clyde Lowell. It came the call first then messages now?
Jess took a deep breath. She took the phone and tried to text him back a message.
She tapped by her fingers very fast and she said in the message to Clyde,” Let’s talk face to face somewhere tomorrow afternoon.”
Amelia stood up in the opposite side when the message was just sent out. She grabbed Jess’s phone and took it away,” Ruby, you have to do your business after the dinner.”
She waved the phone in her hand to Jess and smile,” I will keep the phone for you now.”
As Amelia was saying, she pretended to put the phone a side in a casual way but it was the place that Sophia could just see.
Sophia glanced at the phone unconsciously but she saw the words and flew into a great rage. She yelled with her ghastly face,” Ruby Rogers!”
All the sights went to her since she yelled.
Jess glanced at her phone then her sight wiped Amelia and she understood something.
She did not write something wrong.
