They were all senior executives of subsidiaries and branches. They were legitimate sons and grandsons carefully selected by the directors of Snow Corporation, so everyone was already relaxed before the meeting even started.
"It's getting late. Let’s start the meeting now.'
Jessica ignored their gazes and turned on the laptop with a cold and solemn expression.
The meeting lasted until 12:30 p.m.
When Jessica got up, Carson immediately said, "Big Sis, it's already noon. Let's go to the cafeteria for lunch together. Why don't you join us, Harold?"
"Sure." Harold smiled and got up. He said to Jessica, "It just so happens that there are some matters in Country F that I didn’t get to mention in the meeting earlier."
Jessica had planned to go straight back to the office, but she could not say anything now.
Carson asked for a private room in the cafeteria, but when they were about to enter, he suddenly received a call. "Oh, my girlfriend is downstairs now and wants to have lunch with me. I won't be joining you guys anymore. Jessica, you eat with Harold instead."
Then, he soon disappeared.
Harold looked at Carson's back figure and laughed. "Young people are so energetic. He changes girlfriends like they’re clothes."
If he spent more of his time on work, the project in his hand would be completed by now." Jessica rubbed her brows in slight exasperation.
"The project isn't that urgent. You're always so focused on work. You have to relax occasionally, or go on a few dates.”
Harold took out a long box from his trouser pocket and handed it over, saying in a joking tone, "I bought you this necklace from Country F. I look forward to our cooperation, President Snow.”
Jessica looked at the box without moving and did not speak.
"It's not that expensive. It's just a little gift." Harold smiled.
"Necklaces from this brand aren't cheap." Jessica looked askance at the brand on the box.
"It's not expensive for me. How many years have we known each other? Do you have to be this polite?" Harold held the teapot and poured her a cup of tea. "Are you free tonight? My father said you haven't come over for dinner for a long time. He misses you a lot."
