Cutie, Please Marry Me Again (Jenna and Hansen) novel Chapter 1653

Jepherson approved the transfer and reminded, "With such a heavy rain yesterday, she probably has a high fever."

Stuart said, "She should be fine. Her family will take care of her."

Jepherson was working as they spoke. He looked up at Stuart and said, "I've ended up like this because I waved my chance goodbye. Don't assume you can put a lid on your feelings. You'll regret it when you see her in another man's arms, bearing his child."

Stuart did not speak. Jepherson continued his work and muttered. "What a blockhead."

Jepherson waved his hand and motioned for Stuart to leave.

With that, Stuart left the room. As the door closed, Raeleigh turned to Jepherson. "You don't have a backup?"

Amused, Jepherson said, "Do you even think of how cunning I am when we're sleeping together?"

"You don't look like someone who'd leave your business unfinished." "Let's wait and see then." Stuart was indeed a little worried. Recalling the heavy rain, he sent someone to check on Lucy.

But when they came back, they said Lucy was not at home.

That was all; Stuart never followed up.

Three days later, Lucy returned, thinner. She packed up her belongings, ready to leave.

Stuart stood aside, looking at her, not striking a conversation. Lucy wasn't in the mood to speak either, wearing a pair of sunglasses, taking them off when she went into Jepherson's office.

Lucy didn't think highly of Jepherson as this was all his fault.

Compared to parting ways, Lucy preferred to work alongside Stuart. They could at least see each other, but now she had no choice but to leave.

Moreover, it was not one for her to say no.

"Are you sure you want to go to the training center?"

Jepherson surprisingly put his work aside and went to sit down on the sofa, next to Raeleigh, staring at Lucy.

Lucy stood in silence for a long time before she finally said, "Stuart wants me to go."

Raeleigh frowned. Lucy didn't want to go then?

Jepherson leaned his back against the sofa and said after a while, "When Stuart told me to transfer you away, I thought you had requested it."

Lucy thought for a moment and said, "It's not that I want to, but I have no choice."

Jepherson hesitated for a moment. "I've never heard of such a reason. No choice?"

Lucy fell silent, feeling bittersweet.

Hesitating, she didn't know if she should stay.

Perhaps she could if she fought for it.

But hadn't Stuart asked her to leave?

Jepherson asked, "The benefits there would be better than your current position; you can only be a secretary here at most. It's meaningless even if you're promoted, and your salary won't change too much."

"The training center is one of the company's subsidiaries. If you get promoted, you are likely to become a manager. Following our company's system, we can transfer your dividends to shares after you've become a manager after some time. You should know that, right?"

"I do."

"Stuart has already thought of ways out for you. His plans are so good that he even included me in his equation."

Lucy was a little nervous; she didn't know if she had inadvertently created trouble for Stuart.

Raeleigh, who was afraid Lucy didn't get where Jepherson was going, chimed in, "If you didn't give Stuart the right, he wouldn't do that."

Lucy suddenly heaved a sigh of relief and loosened her grip.

"Busybody!"

Jepherson raised his brow and glanced over at Raeleigh. She wasn't bothered; he wouldn't really do anything.

"Lucy."
