Chapter 18 – Just go with her
Jonathan looked at Vincent and sighed, “Just go with her.”
Before Vincent could reply, Jenn snapped, “This is abuse of power. How can you choose his date for him?”
Vincent had finally managed to get his head around and immediately answered.
“He thought I was embarrassed because of his presence, so he answered like that. I would love to be your date.”
“Oh! Good.” Jennifer sat back on the chair sipping her drink.
“You were saying something?” She asked Jonathan.
He replied, “Well, please tell Henry that he won’t be disappointed with the bash if he makes it to the guest list. I will also consider his suggestion. Can we take a profile picture of you for the teaser?”
Jennifer nodded repeatedly and looked around the office.
She walked straight to the window and leaned against it while sipping her drink. Then as if she was reminded of something, she switched to the left profile and Jonathan took the picture with his phone.
He immediately sent it to Liliana for review who okayed it right away.
He looked at Jennifer and asked, “If the reporters asked you why are you visiting me, what would you say?”
“That you have ED and your friends send me to verify. As a nurse, I am qualified to give you a professional assessment.”
Jonathan looked at her horrified. She did not even hesitate.
“How about you go with something else?” He suggested.
“How about your grandmother found out that you have been a celibate all these years and hired a pretty nurse that you are already acquainted with and trust so that you will lower your guard and allow professional assessment.” She added.
“Does it have to be about my virility?” He snapped.
“Why else would a nurse visit you during working hours, all pretty and dressed up to boot?” She asked with a ‘duh’ tone.
“Think of something else!” He added.Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
She sighed, “The second option is good. It’ll come in handy later when you want to clean the air with the Stone girl.”
Jonathan looked at her surprised. “Did…”
She cut him off, “Yep, Lil suggested it. She protects her own. You are in good hands now. I am proof after all.”
Jonathan was stunned, “What do you mean?”
Jennifer smiled wistfully, “7 years ago, she was forced to draw blood. She was pregnant but did not say anything. I helped her out. Later I received a huge sponsorship and even got to work under Henry. When I met her again, I realized she had never needed my help at all. But that small kindness changed my life.”
Jonathan became suspicious. She was pregnant and came to Smith Group, and had an altercation with Lydia and Lester Aprice.
Who was she?
Jonathan was getting more and more curious about her, but he knew she would not answer his questions, so he kept quiet.
