Chapter 132
"No way. I made all that, so I have the right to decide who gets to eat and who doesn't," Alfred replied clearly before Jessica had the chance to say anything. "What do you say?"
Trevor acted like he didn't hear what Alfred said. He looked at Jessica with his bright eyes.
"Me?"
Jessica frowned. She wanted to ask him to leave, but she didn't dare to say it since he was her boss.
"How can he ask me that right now?" she thought irritably.
"Mm," Trevor replied.
The scene made Yolanda nervous, so she quickly went to the rescue. "Since you're here, let's eat."
"Since you're here, let's eat," Jessica repeated what Yolanda said.
Her heart was in a mess because she was afraid that her children would come out, and Trevor would find
out about them.
Trevor turned to face Alfred and smirked as if he had won.
After that, he walked toward the dining table, pulled out a chair, and sat before patting the chair beside him, gesturing for Jessica to sit as if it was the most natural thing to do. Alfred sat next to Trevor without bothering to be polite.
"I'll sit next to you, Mr. Gulliford. Let's have a few drinks."
He wasn't going to let Jessica sit next to Trevor.
Jessica remained silent as she sat next to the table and passed the utensils around.
"You wish to drink with me? I'm afraid you'll get drunk and won't be able to get up," Trevor replied mockingly.
He had never been drunk in his entire life, not to mention in front of Jessica.
Alfred frowned slightly and was somewhat upset.
"Oh, really? Try me."
He didn't like to pretend to be a gentleman like Trevor. Instead, he was a wild rich man who loved to drink and have fun. Trevor merely snorted and said nothing.
"He wants me to drink with him? Hah! He's not worthy at all," he thought.
Alfred despised how arrogant Trevor acted. "Mr. Gulliford, you shouldn't think so highly of yourself. You'll fall hard easily." "It's like he expects everyone to obey him!" he thought.
However, it was true that Trevor was indeed one of the most powerful men in the entire Herington at that time.
Jessica said nothing as she ate silently. Everyone knew how arrogant Trevor was.
Yolanda kept quiet as well. She didn't want to get caught up in their rivalry.
"Jessica, try the pork ribs. I made it for you. Since you
have a sweet tooth, I added extra sugar."
With that, Alfred put a piece of pork rib on Jessica's plate. There was a doting look in his eyes.
However, the moment he placed it on her plate, Trevor took it out with his fork and threw it into the trash can.
"You're still wounded, so too much sugar isn't good for you. You shouldn't eat that."
From Trevor's words and actions, he was obviously provoking Alfred.
Alfred frowned and put another piece of meat on Jessica's plate. "That's even more reason why you should eat more."
"You should eat more greens to help clear and refresh your mind."Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.
Once again, Trevor threw the meat into the trash can with a stubborn look in his eyes.
Jessica stared at the vegetables on her plate. "What nonsense is that Greens to help clear and refresh the mind? I've never heard of that," she thought exasperatedly.
Yolanda was quiet as she held onto her fork. What can I say? Jessica, I didn't expect that I'd see something like this again. It seems that it doesn't matter if you're Horington's First Lady, even if you're not, the two big CEOs in Horington will still fight over you. It's your fate, she thought.
In fact, there was nothing she could say. She tried to hold back her laughter when she saw how awkward Jessica looked. "Forget it. I'm not going to eat anymore. I don't have much appetite," she said while placing her fork on the plate.
"What's there for me to eat? From the look of things, I don't think I get to put any food into my mouth," she thought.
Trevor's lips curled into a smile as he put his fork down immediately "You don't think the food's good either, right? How about we go out for some other food?"
