De Lawrence: Ambition of the Past
Meet
Buk up!
Xavier put a rough map on the table. The woman in front of him did not flinch or be surprised at all.
Today is their meeting. Xavier agreed to marry. Rachel was certainly excited and immediately arranged their meeting without caring about each other's schedule.
Jessie stopped sipping her juice and opened the map Xavier gave her. As expected, this man wanted a deal.
"A fan of novels or dramas?" The first question Jessie asked made Xavier flinch.
"Not both," he answered flatly.
"Sign the letter and do the old man's wish. Don't expect me to accept you. I had to too!"
Jessie is not talking. It was hard for Xavier to guess his reaction. Honestly this woman is a little strange than most women he knows. But a beautiful face becomes a bonus in itself.
"alright. I'll talk to Rachel so there's no swearing." Jessie finally spoke.
"Whatdidyou say? How can there be a marriage without an oath." Just now he said this woman is strange, something strange has happened again.
"It says marriage only lasts for a year, whereas for me marriage is a lifetime and only once. So I don't want to take a vow that would cause God to punish me for breaking his vow" Jessie explained. Xavier was speechless. Actually what kind of woman was given by her mother.
"Mrs. Xavier Johansson's. I only have two choices. We are married to obligations that should or should not be." Jessie smiled as she shifted the map containing the agreement letter away.
I don't want to do something in vain! Maybe it has been the motto of his life for 25 years.
"My time is not much. I still have to work. So please think as best you can." Jessie stood up from her place and was about to leave.
Damnit damnit! Xavier was never treated like this. This woman is acting like she's on top of it.
"What's your name?" The question got Jessie back to her seat. Actually, this man is blind if he really rejects it. Didn't know that he became the target of rich young men. Even the investors often offer their children like a famous brand.
"Jessie Milen."
"What's your job?"
"Manager," Jessie replied without hesitation.
Only Manager?
"You're underestimating me?" guess pinching.
"No."
"Your face is dubious."
Xavier doesn't like it. "What part of it is dubious?!"
"You're like saying ... Only Manager!" Jessie spoke as if she were Xavier.
Is he shady or too sensitive? Xavier was a little surprised.
"Don't underestimate me, Mr. Johansson. If I'm low-qualified, I won't be on your family list."
Also true. But what cares! They will be separated.
"My desire is still the same. Maybe you'll change your mind. So take this with you." Xavier did not give up, so shifted the map containing the agreement to Jessie.
Jessie was still trying to smile despite her heart desperately wanting to strangle this man.
"Indeed, Mr. Hansson ... Agree or not, I have nothing to lose." Xavier seems interested. "Because the great lord promised to give away some of his shares as compensation for your refusal." This time Xavier was surprised instead of playing, even his eyes were bulging in disbelief.
"I could have refused, but I feel sorry for you who had to lose half the shares in vain just because of rejection. But it looks like you disagree and refuse, that's why you made the agreement." Jessie kept talking.
"We'll stop it here. May be a good partner in the future as a shareholder. I'm permi—"
"When do you want to get married?"
Jessie who was about to turn around smiled triumphantly. The first step went well.

"Damn, shit, shit!" Jessie *******-******cold sofa cushion. "Mom knew he threw the covenant letter away confidently! What kind of woman do you think I am?!"
"You should have acted that way in front of him earlier." Rachel commented. "But the point is we win, Jes."
Jessie took a deep breath and exhaled softly. "Pulp Jessie. You're not married yet. Think of how to get him to his knees." Jessie advises herself.
Rachel shakes. This woman actually has many faces.
"Jessie ... You know Mom only trusts you, right. You're different from most women who might have a hard time sticking with Xavier."
"Don't lick, Mom."
"I don't lick! I thought you were fit to make that guy change. You're smart, smart, and brave. Xavier must be hard to fight you!" For her stubborn son, Jessie is the solution.
"Just pray I don't die young." Jessie stood up from her seat.
"Just calm down."
"Miss, the meeting starts in 5 minutes." His secretary just happened to show up.
"Now?!" The secretary nodded.
"Mom help me!" Rachel immediately stood up, helping Jessie improve her appearance. Even Jessie helped set the look of her face to remain authoritative.
"Good! Let's go." Jessie came out first with a flat face.
The secretary tried to hold back the laughter. If everyone knew the other nature behind this Miss, it would be hard to believe.
"Indeed my son-in-law." Rachel smiled proudly.
