Howard Geoffrey walked to the bedside and spoke softly, "Becca, sothing ca up at the company suddenly. I’m afraid I need to go back to the office..."
Rebecca Quentin nodded, "Hmm, business matters are important."
"I’ll have Jason Wood stay here. If you need anything, just ask him. I’ll be back soon."
"Okay."
In the next second, Howard Geoffrey turned around and left.
Not until Howard Geoffrey had left the room did Rebecca Quentin slowly lift her gaze, looking in the direction where Howard had just disappeared.
He had just said he would spend the afternoon with her and Andrew, but now the company suddenly has sothing...
He must have seen the ssage and rushed over.
Whether he is going to the hospital to see Alice Robinson or to stop her surgery, it all shows that he’s actually concerned about Alice.
She really feels like she’s quite useless...
She had told herself that no matter how he felt about Alice, she wouldn’t care, but when she truly felt him care about Alice, her heart still hurt like that.
Actually, even now, she can’t understand why he didn’t develop with Alice but chose to be with her. Did what he said about wanting to be with her forever co from true feelings or pretense? She always feels that it’s mostly the latter.
If she didn’t know that he and Alice had a sexual relationship, she might still play dumb. But now the truth is blatantly placed in front of her, making it even more impossible for her and Howard Geoffrey to be together...
Ti moved forward by a week.
"Latest news report, the ’Oversky’ Group successfully secured the Hope City project on the French Gold Coast, which will launch in May. Recently, the ’Oversky’ Group has announced this good news to the public..."
Watching the report on TV, Rebecca Quentin’s face showed a faint smile.
She’s really happy for Skyler Jones, as they finally secured the Hope City project...
Taking out her phone, Rebecca Quentin dialed Christine Quinn’s number.
The call to Christine Quinn went unanswered, so Rebecca called Skyler Jones.
The call to Skyler Jones was quickly answered, and Rebecca Quentin smiled as she spoke first, "Mr. Jones, congratulations."
Skyler Jones’s voice always seed softer when talking to Rebecca Quentin than usual, "Becca."
"I just saw the television broadcast about ’Oversky’ securing the Hope City project. I’m genuinely happy for you," Rebecca Quentin sincerely expressed, and her heart also brimd with admiration for Skyler Jones.
Securing the Hope City project ans that a group won’t have to worry about revenue for three years. The interest involved is sothing all similar groups covet. That ’Oversky’ managed to outshine other similar groups to secure this project is enough to prove Skyler Jones’s outstanding capabilities.
Skyler Jones softly replied, "Becca, did you know that hearing you say this makes even happier than securing the Hope City project itself..."
"Don’t joke around..." Knowing about Skyler Jones’s feelings for her, Rebecca Quentin imdiately changed the topic, "By the way, I just called my sister, why didn’t she answer?"
It should be around eight or nine in the morning in Y City, theoretically, her sister should have gotten up to take Marie to school.
"I’m at the company and don’t know."
"Alright then, I’ll call her later. I won’t disturb your work anymore."
Before Rebecca Quentin hung up, Skyler Jones gently said, "Becca, how’s it going with you and Howard Geoffrey?"
"Uh, it’s good, really good!"
"If you ever need , don’t forget that I’m always here for you."
Hearing such heartfelt words from Skyler Jones, Rebecca Quentin was slightly stunned. Even today, she cannot deny that Skyler Jones always manages to give her such care and warmth. The sense of security he provides is sothing Howard Geoffrey can’t match.
As Rebecca Quentin was lost in thought, a sound of the door turning echoed.
Rebecca Quentin snapped back to reality and said, "Mr. Jones, I’m sorry, I have to hang up. Let’s talk next ti."
Howard Geoffrey had just walked into the room when he saw Rebecca Quentin taking her phone away from her ear.
Rebecca Quentin’s expression was a bit unnatural, but upon seeing Howard, her beautiful and delicate face instantly blood with a smile, "You’re back!"
"Yes." Howard Geoffrey responded lightly, then casually placed his suit jacket, car keys, and other items on the low cabinet.
Rebecca Quentin then got up from the bed, walked to Howard Geoffrey, and began to loosen his tie for him, "It’s already nine in the evening, and you just got back."
