Returning With A Thousand Favors

Chapter 231

“Are you suggesting that she set you up, I should call her now to confirm it?” Jessica grabbed her phone and prepared to make a call.

“Oh, hold on!” Peter quickly intervened, stopping her.

Jessica simply gazed at him in silence.

When Peter noticed her gaze, a sense of guilt washed over him, eventually compelling him to reluctantly concede.

“Okay, I confess that what Marina just said is actually true. It’s just that those things happened before I even knew you.

“After I met you, there hasn’t been another woman in my life. You should be well aware of this fact, perhaps more than anyone else, considering you’re practically by my side 24 hours a day,” Peter stated firmly.

Upon seeing Peter’s anxious expression, Jessica couldn’t help but burst into laughter.

“You… Why are you laughing?” Peter, feeling somewhat flustered, questioned Jessica about her laughter.

“I was just teasing you. How could I be mad at you for something that happened before we even met?” Jessica reassured Peter with a smile.

“I noticed you were engrossed in reading the script, so I didn’t want to interrupt. Instead, I took the opportunity to organize the documents for you,” Jessica remarked, glancing at him..

Peter looked over and saw that the documents on the desk had indeed been sorted out.

The desk also appeared clean and organized.

Obviously, that it was also done by Jessica.

Peter was not a tidy person.

He often threw things randomly after using them.

However, Jessica would always trail behind him, ensuring that everything was in order.

She had never once demanded anything of him, nor had she ever allowed herself to be flirtatious or ostentatious in his presence.

At the company, she was an efficient and dutiful secretary.

At home, she was also an especially gentle and obedient lover.

Peter was likely unaware of how accustomed he had become to his life with Jessica.

“You freaked me out just now. I thought you were really angry.” Seeing that Jessica was not angry, Peter heaved a sigh of relief. Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

However, before he could relax for a while, he immediately perked up again.

Then, he looked a Jessica with a serious expression. “Why aren’t you angry?”

“Huh?” Jessica was stunned by his question.

“You should be angry. Why aren’t you angry at all?” Peter was extremely agitated.

Jessica was speechless.

“What are you talking about?” Jessica frowned.

“Are you playing with my feelings?!” Peter suddenly grabbed Jessica’s shoulder

+

“Huh?” Jessica’s eyes widened.

“If you really take me seriously, you’ll definitely be angry when you hear that I have an ex–girlfriend.”

“You should cry, throw a tantrum, or force me to swear that I will never contact with my ex–girlfriends again,

“You should ask me to delete all their numbers and prepare an apology gift for you.

“Flowers, diamond rings, candlelight dinner. You need all of them before you can calm down,” Peter said in one breath.

Jessica was a little dizzy upon hearing that.

“Aren’t you exaggerating a little too much?” She finally came back to her senses and felt that Peter’s words just now were a little too unbelievable.

How can it be an exaggeration? My ex–girlfriends…” Peter began to say, implying that his former partners had behaved this way.

However, she was afraid that Jessica would be angry, so he swallowed his words.

However, Jessica already understood what he meant.

She only raised her head and looked at him seriously.

“Peter, I don’t know what your previous girlfriends did, but I don’t care about your past.

“For that time is not mine to claim. What I hold dear is the present and the days to come.

“What reason is there for anger, as long as you haven’t betrayed me?

“As for the flowers, diamond rings, and candlelight dinner you mentioned, I don’t really need them.

“What I like is how it feels when the two of us are together. Love does need material things, but it’s not just material things.

“Do you want me to be the sort of partner who only seeks material gifts and monetary gains from you?” Jessica inquired.

Peter immediately shook his head.

However, he immediately nodded.

“Why are you shaking your head and nodding your head?” Jessica smiled.

“….” Peter did not know how to explain.

He always felt that if Jessica was like the girlfriends he used to date who asked for money and gifts.

It felt like trading instead of dating when he was with those girls.

However, if Jessica did not ask him for anything, he would feel that as a boyfriend, he was useless.

Therefore, for a moment, even he did not know how to solve this problem.

“Alright, if you don’t understand, then don’t think about it. Aren’t you preparing to reshoot Marina’s script now?

“I’ve already checked just now. We do have an actor called Jason.

“He used to be an extra in various production teams. Later on, he was signed by our company, but we never gave him any roles.”

“It has been a year since he joined us, yet he has merely played some figurant roles.” Jessica shifted the conversation to work.

“Well, since Marina has already decided on him, inform him to be prepared to join the crew.

“I’ll also set up a project team soon.” Peter’s thoughts were brought over.

Wed.

“Then, can you… let me be in charge of this project?” Jessica asked hesitantly.

“You?” Peter looked up at her.

“I… because this is a script written by Marina. If I want to participate, I can do anything as long as I can be in this production team!” Jessica’s tone was

firm.

This way, it was as if she was fighting side by side with Marina.

It had always been her wish.

“I knew you’d be thinking about her.” Peter was starting to get jealous again.

He had been in love for so many years, but he had never thought that there would be a day when he would be jealous of his cousin.

“I… I’m also very concerned about you.” Jessica had learned to flatter.

“Alright, you’ve already asked, so of couse yes.

“The thing is, Marina has the most advanced configuration on our end, which implies that the project’s responsibility might be overwhelming for you,” he

said.

This was also the point that Peter was most hesitant about.

Originally, Jessica did not have much time for him.

If she was in charge of this project now, she would probably have even less time.
