Chapter 43: Settle This Matter One by One
Chapter 43: Settle This Matter One by One
In a high-end coffee shop, a tall, elegant looking woman was discussing business matters with her
assistant.
This woman, dressed in expensive brands and her appearance elegant and exquisite, was Amanda
Sullivan.
She had just returned from studying abroad.
After returning home, Amanda had taken some money from her family, invested it into a fashion design
company, and started her own business.
Of course, Amanda had a more important objective in mind when she returned: To be in a marriage
with someone who could benefit her family.
That someone was no other than Jason Reed, the president of the Reed Group.
However, the two had only met twice before and that two in a hurry.
The first time they met was at a dinner with both of their families.
The two were introduced to each other and got acquainted.
Amanda's first impression of Jason was very good.
The second time, only the two of them met.
It was set up by Amanda but Jason only stayed there for a while and then left.
But Amanda was not discouraged at all.
After all, Jason was one of the top men in JC City. Actually, he was one of the top men in the whole
country.
He was the only man who could be worthy of her, Amanda Sullivan.
Besides, both of their parents also thought that it was very suitable for them to get married.
This was also the source of her self-confidence and the foundation of her success.
After talking about the business affairs with her assistant, she was clear on everything she wanted to
know.
As she was about to get up to leave the cafe, she noticed that her assistant Sylvia seemed to be
hesitating a bit to say something.
"Sylvia, is there anything else?"
Amanda asked.
"Yes. It's about President Reed."
Sylvia hesitated for a moment, but then said it.
"Just say what it is."
Hearing Jason’s name, Amanda was interested in an instant.
"Recently, it seems like he has gotten very close to an intern from FR Group. And… It is said that they
have been acting quite intimate in public…”
Sylvia had been following Amanda's instructions and paying close attention to Jason’s every move.
Amanda frowned slightly after hearing that, "Is there any evidence?"
"Yes, look!" This is the property of Nô-velDrama.Org.
Sylvia had already prepared the evidence. She took out several photos from her purse and handed
them to Amanda.
In the photos, Jason and Felicity could be seen coming out of a restaurant, at the gate of the movie
cinema, JC University and other places…
The two people appeared to have a very close relationship, and there were even pictures in which
Jason was holding Felicity's waist.
Seeing the pictures Amanda couldn’t help but feel her anger rise, and her expressions became harsher
and uglier.
"Sylvia, continue to keep an eye on them and look more into the girl in the photo for me. I want
everything you can find about her!"
Amanda threw the photos on the table angrily.
"Okay."
Sylvia nodded at the orders.
After the assistant left, Amanda sat there lost in thought for a moment.
Finally, she decided to call Jason.
She didn't want to end up alone!
When she called, Jason had just got off a meeting and immediately picked up the phone.
"Jason, are you busy? I didn’t even get to see you once before you left for the company! Are you free
to come out for a cup of coffee?"
Compared to the way she was just talking to her assistant, her tone with Jason was much soft and
gentle.
"Sorry, I was busy before. Of course, we can meet for coffee.”
Jason also kept his etiquette and politely agreed to meet her.
After hanging up the phone, Amanda felt inwardly satisfied and happy and sat there for a long time,
rehearsing in advance what topics she would like to talk to Jason when they meet.
They were meeting after such a long time. They must have a lot to talk about.
It didn’t take long for Jason to arrive at the cafe.
Amanda got up and greeted him solemnly.
Jason nodded politely and gave her a small smile before sitting down with her.
"Long time no see. How have you been?"
Originally, Amanda originally wanted to brighten up the atmosphere with light hearted talk and enjoy
her time with Jason.
However, it seemed like Jason had no such plans. Instead of being polite, he directly went to the point,
"I have no intention of getting married for the time being. I think you too were forced by your family for
this marriage?"
He asked her. Amanda sat stunned as her voice got choked in her throat, but she still managed to keep
a modest smile on her face and did not answer.
"I understand the problems you must be facing. We can find a way to make some noise and make out
families think that it’s all going well."
Jason thought that this was what Amanda was thinking. He told her the plan shortly as if talking about a
business deal.
Amanda was taken aback; the plan she had been making was completely opposite to this one.
Was Jason trying to skimp through this?
In spite of her anger, she managed to keep her face gentle.
"What a coincidence. It seems that your intentions are similar to mine. But in the eyes of the outside
world, we are the perfect match. So, I'm afraid it won’t be that simple..."
Amanda hid her emotions well and kept her expressions noble and reserved throughout.
"It doesn't matter. As long as you are willing to cooperate, I will handle the rest. Thank you!"
Jason said calmly.
It seemed like he came prepared!
Amanda also didn’t declare her actual position on the matter.
However, Jason also didn't really care if she actually agreed or was acting. When he had finished
speaking, he went straight up to pay the bill and then left.
After he left, the fake smile that Amanda had on her face gradually disappeared.
She sat there with her eyes narrowed in thought; she felt threatened and challenged.
How dare he think that she was not worthy of him and was just forced by her family?
Slowly her desire to win came over her.
The more he was cold and distant like this, the more interesting it became for Amanda.
"Jason, I will make you fall in love with me with all your heart."
He needed to see that she was Amanda Sullivan who innumerable pursuers running after her and was
the dream wife for so many.
How could he think that his marriage to her was an arranged situation where they had no choice?
Was this because of that damn Intern?
…
That evening, her assistant Sylvia brought her all the relevant information she could find about the
intern.
At that moment, Amanda was in her office, drinking red wine, and looking at the night view of the city
from her window, enjoying a moment of quiet life.
"Miss Sullivan, I have found all the information about the intern."
After gathering all that she could about Felicity, Sylvia came to Amanda to report her findings.
"Tell me!”
Amanda said lightly, as if she was not concerned about the subject at all.
"She is a senior at JC University, graduating this year. At present, she is an intern in FR Group, and her
name is Felicity James... "
Sylvia took out her file and read everything she found out to Amanda.
"Felicity James?"
Amanda repeated the name thoughtfully, but she had never heard of it before.
"Where did she come from?"
"It is said that she has not graduated yet, but because of her outstanding talent and ability, she was
promoted to a full-time employee in advance. Now she is working directly under the main designer of
FR Group, Riley Kim. She also recently was involved in some trouble at the campus and it seems like
Jason helped her deal with it... "
Sylvia told her everything that Felicity was involved in at her university and also told her current
address.
"Let’s go meet her right now!"
Amanda couldn’t wait any longer; she had to meet her and settle this matter one to one.
