By the time Raeleigh woke up, Jepherson was already occupied with his work. She sat up, and the clothes that were covering her slid down. Picking it up, she swept her eyes over to Jepherson, who then said, "Did you sleep well?"
Raeleigh scratched her head. "Was I asleep for a long time?"
"Not very long, just a few hours."
Raeleigh was speechless. To her, a few hours was indeed a long time.
"We will have a meeting later, is that okay? Otherwise, I'll ask them to come over." Jepherson picked up the phone and began dialing, as he looked at her questioningly. Raeleigh immediately replied that there was no need for them to attend the meeting here since she was fine.
Making the call, Jepherson instructed his subordinates, "Arrange for the meeting. As I've told you, prepare the proposal right away."
After putting down the phone, he got up and began to change his clothes in front of Raeleigh. Raeleigh felt that her scent could be found on his body, but she was not very certain.
"I'm going to the washroom."
Raeleigh stood up and went to the bathroom. She opened the door and washed her hands, intending to tidy up her attire. However, when she looked down, she noticed that there was something wrong with her belt, which had been moved.
Raeleigh unfastened it and took a look, lost in thought.
At that instant, there was a knock on the washroom door. Raeleigh turned around and gazed at the door. She tidied up herself and said, "Coming."
She stifled her anger as she dared not to raise h*ll.
As the door was opened, Raeleigh was seen standing inside. "I'll go out."
She exited as Jepherson went in to wash his hands. She put on her coat, and they went to the meeting room together.
When Raeleigh and Jepherson arrived at the meeting room, the other people were already there. Unlike the previous times, once they entered the room, they were instantaneously greeted with many pairs of envious and ingratiating eyes.
Jepherson paused momentarily when he entered, and so did Raeleigh.
After they went in, Jepherson pulled out a chair, but he did not sit down. His eyes landed on Raeleigh, who was somewhat embarrassed because that seat was not hers.
"Mr. Richards..."
Raeleigh wanted to let him sit down first, but Jepherson placed his hands on her shoulders and directly pressed her down onto the chair.
After that, Jepherson pulled out another chair and sat down. He leaned against the back of the chair and crossed his legs casually. "Let's begin."
Raeleigh threw a glance at him. In her mind, if there was anyone in the world who could be so collected, it must have been Jepherson.
Her eyes slowly strayed to other people in the room.
One of them stood up. He was from the Planning Department.
"Good afternoon, Mr. Richards. Good afternoon, Miss Anson."
Without raising his head, Jepherson extended his hand to grab Raeleigh's, but she refused and withdrew it.
There was an abrupt change in the atmosphere of the room. Everyone thought that Jepherson would blow his top off. However, he remained unfazed while taking his hand back. Afterwards, he knocked on the table and looked at the person who had stood up opposite him.
"Let's start." "Yes, sir."
The employee began presenting his proposal.
It seemed okay to Raeleigh, but she did not give any comment.
"That's all with my proposal."
