Sextuplets From Ruthless Love

"This is Old Mr. Gulliford's way of helping you leave Gulliford Group. The company will definitely not retain anybody who sells its secrets. The board of directorswill not allow you to stay even if the Chairman wants to keep you. Take this chance if you wish to leave Gulliford Group. Old Mr. Gulliford will compensate you for any losses that you'll face for leaving." The man turned to leave immediately after speaking, not waiting for Jessica to reply.

The company was tense at the moment since confidential information was disclosed. He could not afford to let anyone catch onto any tails.

After all, this was an unethical scheme. Even Old Mr. Gulliford would not be able to retain him if it was exposed.

Jessica remained in her spot. The thoughts in her mind finally retreated now that she understood the whole story

She stood and smoothed out the wrinkles on her clothes before walking out of the stairwell.

Despite the strange looks she got from every employee she passed, Jessica kept her expression

schooled as she returned to Mr. Gulliford's office.

Back in the building, Trevor was waiting in front of her office. He looked up at Jessica just as she walked in through the door.

"Where did you go?" He spoke first. His words were tepid and void of emotions.

"To the pantry to get water," Jessica replied softly.

She didn't want to bring up the company's issue unless he asked her about it.

"You like listening to crosstalk, don't you?" He still did not bring up the issue.

She stepped forward to stand in front of him and picked up the document on the desk. "I heard some earlier. I wasn't interested."

She calmly flipped through it and deliberately stopped on the page that contained information about the newly developed software - as if reminding Trevor that it was time to talk about the issue.

Trevor noticed her actions. His slender fingers drummed against the table and his thin lips pressed tightly. He didn't say a word for a long time.

"I heard their discussion in the pantry earlier. They said there's a problem with the company's software?" Jessica could not wait any longer.

Why hasn't he lost his temper? Why isn't he yelling at me and chasing me out? She thought. He should be reprimanding me and telling me about his cruel ways of dealing with I

me. That's the Trevor ent

Jessica had ineffable anticipation of seeing him react the way she expected him to. She could only clear the jealousy and nonsensical thoughts from her mind and

was reminded of how cruelon

he was.

"That's all you heard?" Trevor asked with a slight frown.

"Did you hear anything else, Mr. Gulliford?" Jessica pretended to be clueless and lowered her head as she met his gaze, her eyes deliberately showing some unease.

Trevor stopped drumming his fingers and shook his head. "No, I didn't hear anything."

Jessica did not respond. "What is he thinking? He should clearly know what happened. Why is he pretending not to?"NôvelDrama.Org © content.

The air was silent. Neither of them spoke a word.

Trevor got up and returned to his desk. Jessica also sat in her seat after he stood up.

Both of them seemed to be in their own worlds despite sitting in the same room. Neither made a sound or raised their heads. Both were looking down at the documents in their hands. After some time, someone knocked on the door.

"Come in," Trevor's low voice resounded through the air.

The former secretary walked in with

an urgent look in her eyes.

"Chairman, the board of directors wants to hold a meeting all of a sudden. They're saying that they want to deal with the mole in the company."

"What mole?" Trevor narrowed his eyes and asked in displeasure.

"The... The mole who leaked confidential information about the company's software." The former secretary responded hesitantly and glanced at Jessica from the corner of his eye.
