Cutie, Please Marry Me Again (Jenna and Hansen) novel Chapter 24

At three o'clock, Hansen walked in on time, dressed in a sharp suit.

All the executives of the Richards Group stood up and held their breath.

During meetings, Hansen had always been very punctual. He never thought that leaders should arrive a few minutes late; he felt that such an act was very pretentious.

Therefore, he had always been punctual, and he did not allow his staff to be late either.

When Jenna woke up and rushed over, the meeting was about to start!

Hansen looked at Jenna, who was standing at the door sheepishly. Her eyes were red and swollen. Her hands were wrapped with white gauze, and she was holding a notebook in her left hand.

"Come in and sit down," he said calmly, pointing at the empty seat next to him.

Jenna walked in quietly, but she was stunned in her heart.

She did not expect that her seat would be by Hansen's side.

Aria McAdams was sitting opposite her.

She was dressed up enchantingly, her almond-shaped eyes exuding confidence and pride.

She looked at Jenna with her sparkling eyes, blinking slightly, as if to show off her superiority. She then said sternly,

"Miss Murphy, the meeting is held at 3 o'clock. I think Perrie has already made it clear to you. Please follow the company rules from now on."

Her face was full of righteousness and the words she chose were merciless. Jenna sat quietly, not looking at her.

"Humph!" Hansen snorted and glared at Aria, whose face suddenly darkened at his reaction. Seeing the upset expression in his eyes, she stopped talking.

"Let's get started," he cleared his voice and glanced at Jenna's wound. This woman was sitting next to him, but she tilted her head to the other side, facing away from him.

The corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

She must have done it on purpose! Thinking about what happened at noon, she must still have a grudge against him.

"Mr. Richards, all the equipment has been prepared, including the things needed for the party. Please take a look, sir." Perrie Peters was dressed in a professional suit, and she looked shrewd and capable. As Hansen's special assistant, she acted swiftly and was very competent. Her elegant makeup and beautiful temperament perfectly represented the professionalism of Richards Group.

"Okay," Hansen nodded. He took over the list handed to him by Perrie and looked at it for a while. Then he handed it to Aria beside him.

Aria took it from him with her slender fingers. She smiled lightly and said, "Mr. Richards, don't worry. This venue is under my protection. It's in line with the upper-class style both in the country and also abroad. I'm sure you'll be satisfied."

Hansen nodded. He was very assured of this. As the daughter of the Mayor McAdams of A City, she had been influenced by various fashion events since she was a child. She had unique tastes in fashion and trends. It would not be difficult for her to design and set up a venue like this.

"For the press conference this time, we will mainly focus on the sale of luxury cars. We must make sure it covers the global market. This year, the main project of Richards Group is to expand throughout the whole of Asia, take over the global market, and seize new opportunities." Hansen's slender fingers knocked on the table. His words were clear, with a distinct aggressiveness and determination.

Jenna really didn't understand what Hansen wanted from her. Logically speaking, even an executive who was not under a contract would not be able to join in the confidential meetings related to the company's trade secrets. She was merely an unofficial staff member.

However, Hansen asked her to come to the meeting.

He even made arrangements for her to be seated beside him.

She really couldn't understand his intention, but she tolerated it, because it didn't matter too much to her.

"Mr. Richards, these are some recent designs from the Richards Group's designers. Please take a look, sir." Newman Grotefrom the design department stood up and walked over. He handed over a stack of designs with both hands and respectfully answered Hansen's questions from time to time.

Hansen's sharp eyebrows twitched slightly; he was thinking while he asked his questions. No emotion could be seen on his face.

After a long time, he turned his head to Jenna who had been sitting there silently.

"Miss Murphy, would you like to have a look at these designs?" His dark eyes were deep and inquisitive.

Jenna had been sitting there quietly. She saw how Hansen was looking at Aria; his eyes were full of admiration. However, when he turned to ask for her opinion, the light in his eyes was unreadable, and she could even feel suspicion.

He obviously didn't trust her!

Jenna sneered in her heart.

Only then did she understand why Hansen asked her to come. It was because he did not trust her.

Originally, this would have been her home and she would have had a responsibility for this company. Now, however, she had nothing to do with this place. She even felt that it was ridiculous for her to sit here.

The corner of her mouth twitched. She stretched out her left hand to take it and flipped it casually. Without further thought, she tore it into pieces and threw it into the trash can beside her.

"Jenna, what do you mean by this?" Aria's face was full of anger and she immediately shouted, "What kind of attitude is this? You obviously do not respect other people's efforts. You should know that this is the work of several of the senior designers in our company. It took them a long time to come up with the designs, but you just carelessly threw it into the trash can like that. Who gave you the courage to do so?"

Jenna gently blew the scraps of paper in her hand and blinked her beautiful eyes. Unexpectedly, she shot a playful grin at Aria's righteous face.

She ignored her anger.
