Cutie, Please Marry Me Again (Jenna and Hansen) novel Chapter 1358

Raeleigh had almost forgotten about this matter. Since something had happened to Santiago, the promotion campaign would be shelved.

Thus, Raeleigh asked Jepherson, "What should we do next?"

Jepherson ruminated for a moment. "There won't be a 'next'."

Pursing her lips, Raeleigh felt a sharp pain and released it instantly. The corners of Jepherson's mouth curled up as he raised his hand to pinch her chin. "Does it hurt?"

Raeleigh's face puckered as she scowled at him. "It's all your fault."

"If it hurts, then behave yourself. Women should stay out of what men need to do."

Jepherson let go of his grasp. Glowering at him, Raeleigh tightly held the shovel in her hand. She wished she could strike him hard right on the head and smash him into pieces.

However, she lacked the courage to do so.

After that, Raeleigh focused on the issue. "What should we do? What about our agreement?"

There was a hint of throatiness in her voice as she didn't want things to end up like this. If the plan was put on hold, then she probably couldn't leave in time.

However, the problem was...

Raeleigh turned around and looked at his cold, elflike face. Why was a man bestowed with such a face beyond her? She found it very bizarre,

Jepherson seemed to be able to see through her mind. In an instant, the corners of his lips curled into a smile. "What else do you want to say?"

Raeleigh pursed her lips. "Nothing."

Jepherson smirked and walked to the side to help her with the cooking. "Let's go to the office to settle it. If it's possible, then we can hand it over to the team. Or, we can do our own parts separately and see who will be the winner."

"Will you do that?" Raeleigh asked with uncertainty.

"Why not?"

"You are the senior executive of the company. You have an obligation to make decisions for the sake of the company. You should..."

"I will." Jepherson chewed on a piece of cucumber. "In the past, I thought I wouldn't do it, but now, I will."

After the meal, Jepherson threw a glance at Raeleigh. Putting the plate aside, he sat down and asked, "Is there anyone else?"

"My brother."

"Call him to come over."

Raeleigh took out her phone and called Xanthus, who was then surprised to see Jepherson when he came in from the outside. Raeleigh's eyes fell on Xanthus. "I'm going to the company in the afternoon to deal with the matter regarding the car blueprint."

For some inexplicable reason, Raeleigh was very weary, both physically and mentally.

Raeleigh handed the bowl and cutlery to Xanthus, who sat down to have his meal with his head down. Looking at him, Raeleigh had an uncanny feeling that she had fallen into a bottomless and inescapable pit.

Initially, she relied on this opportunity to get out of the Richards Group. Unexpectedly, not only did she fail to leave, but such mishap also transpired.

Besides, Santiago had an accident not too long ago, so her plan had to be postponed as well.

Obviously, Xanthus sensed Raeleigh's helplessness. Sitting down next to her, he rested one of his hands on Raeleigh's shoulder. With the other hand, he touched her forehead and realized that she was having a fever.

"Do you have a fever?" He put down the cutlery and stood up to help her get up. Raeleigh answered, "No, I don't. It was the heat from the room just now."

Xanthus shook his head. "No, it's a fever."

At that moment, Jepherson also stood up. He was aware of her weak immune system.

"Let's go for a checkup." Jepherson dashed to her side in a flash and told her so. However, Raeleigh looked at him weakly. "There's no need for that. I'm fine."

"You don't have to act tough. I have the final say regarding the company's affairs. You don't have to go there today." Jepherson bent down to scoop Raeleigh into his arms. Then, he turned around and walked towards the door.
