Chapter 229
“Alright, I’ll let you focus on your work I won’t disturb you anymore. Just make sure to take care of yourself and get enough rest. Don’t stay up too late.” Sophia said, believing that she was being considerate
“Okay,” Gordon replied, not feeling particularly touched by Sophia’s words
It was probably because there was not much sincerity in her eyes.
However, Gordon was only momentarily distracted before swiftly ending the harassing call on his phone.
Then, he turned around and continued to search for what he wanted.
He then turned his attention back to his search and eventually located the desired document in a drawer inside the closet.
Gordon retrieved the document he had been searching for, which happened to be the introduction to the prominent families of Janeborough. Luke had arranged for someone to provide him with this valuable resource earlier.
Given that he would be working for Luke, it was undoubtedly imperative that he possess some comprehension of the state of affairs on Janeborough,
This document granted him immediate comprehension of the upper echelons of Janeborough’s social circle.
He immediately opened the folder.
As he sifted through its contents, he stumbled upon a page that detailed the Four Families
He found a page about the Bailey family.
As expected, there was indeed a Bailey family.
Gordon continued reading
the Bailey family was the head of the Four Families.
It had a diverse array of industries and assets.
Gordon swiftly perused through the items, realizing that they were not what he was searching for.
Eventually, his gaze came to rest upon a line of text.
Miss Bailey seldom made an appearance.
Miss Bailey
Gordon stared fixedly at the line of words. His gaze seemed to be about to pierce through the piece of paper.
Despite his skepticam, he arrived at this conclusion after ruling out all improbable scenarios.
Was Marina, in fact, the young miss of the Bailey family?
It was no surprise that her aura exuded a sense of terror
When he had rescued her previously, he had sensed that her identity was anything but ordinary
Although her memory had failed her, she remained fastidious when it came to her preferences for food, clothing, and lodging
It was not that she was picky, but her own body was picky
For exa
For example, if the clothing material was bad, she got allergic all over her body.
Chapter 229
Moreover, she had a special demeanor.
Despite his never having instructed her on proper table etiquette, she had never encountered any issues during meals.
Her poise was even more graceful and refined than his, despite the fact that he had been raised by a teacher since childhood
So… she actually had such a background?
the Bailey family….
Gordon stared at the line in front of him and could not help but tighten his grip.
Meanwhile, Marina did not know that Gordon had already guessed her identity.
After returning to the Bailey family.
She told Lambert that it was not the group of people who injured him.
Then, she went straight back to her room.
When she sat in front of the computer, Marina subconsciously glanced at her phone.
There was no message from Simon.
She wondered, “Where is he now?
“Did things go well?”
Unknowingly, Marina’s thoughts drifted away.
When she came back to her senses, she realized that nearly an hour had passed.
Marina was a little shocked..
She had actually been in a daze for an hour?
Moreover, she was thinking about everything related to Simon..
Mmmmm…
He was a her weakness.
Men were obstacles to women’s advancement.
Marina immediately shook her head and suppressed those complicated thoughts.
Then, she turned on her computer and found the script that she had written hallway
This was the birthday present that Peter had begged her for on his birthday.
He said that he wanted her to tailor a movie script for his girlfriend.
If she didn’t agree, he would pester her.
In the end, she had no choice but to agree to his request.
It was just that the girlfriend was nowhere to be seen now.
However, she still had to complete this script.
After all, she liked to finish everything.
Chapter 229
The reason why she stopped back then was because she was stuck by a character.
Coincidentally, the little chatterbox she met at the annual party gave her inspiration.
Only then did she remember this script.
Perhaps it was because of an outburst of inspiration or to stop herself from thinking about Simon.
Marina was totally focused on the script.
She wrote from the afternoon to the morning of the next day.
As the morning sun ascended over the horizon, Marina’s fingers finally stilled on the keyboard, bringing an end to her fervent typing.
Perhaps because it was written in one go, Marina was very satisfied with this script.
Without even eating breakfast, she took it to Peter’s company.
Marina took the elevator to Peter’s office.
As soon as she came out of the elevator, Jessica saw her.
“Marina? Why are you here today?” Jessica’s eyes lit up when she saw Marina. She quickly went up to her.
“I have something to discuss with Peter,” Marina explained.
“Perfect. Mr. Moore just came out of a meeting. He’s in the office now. I’ll bring you in,” Jessica said.
“Alright.” Marina nodded.
Because they were in the office, when Jessica walked to the door of office Peter, she knocked on the door very politely.
“Mr. Moore…” Jessica was about to explain when Marina arrived.
However, before she could finish speaking, the tightly shut office door abruptly swung open.
Then, a big hand pulled Jessica in and hugged her tightly.
“Baby, you finally remember me,” Peter whispered.
Jessica was shocked!
Marina thought, “What the hell!”
The scene fell silent for a second.
Jessica tried her best to signal Peter to let go of her.
The next moment, Mariña came back to her senses.
Before Peter could even comprehend the situation, a powerful force struck him, propelling his body through the air with tremendous force.
Then, he fell heavily to the floor.
“Pe…” Jessica subconsciously wanted to go forward and check..
However, Marina pulled her behind.
Then, she looked down at Peter. “What were you doing just now?”
The moment Peter saw Marina, he came to his senses.
Chapter 229
His gaze passed through her and landed on Jessica, who was standing behind him.
“I’m asking you a question!” Marina’s tone became heavier.
“…I got the wrong person…” Peter sighed when he saw that Jessica had no intention of speaking
“Wrong person? Are your eyes just for show?
“Believe it or not, I don’t mind chopping off both your hands right now!” This bastard actually dared to hug Jessica.
“Jessica is such a pure girl and you are just a playboy. How dare you lay your hands on her?”
Marina was furious.
Peter was speechless.
