Flash Marriage: She becomes Mrs. CEO after the Failed Dowry Talk

Chapter 265: Problems

"Listen, my dear, just take a sip."

In the end, Jasper Sinclair couldn’t wake her up, so he had to drink two cups of hangover tea by himself.

The brewing time was a bit short, making the tea slightly astringent.

Before sleeping, he helped Nora Northwood wipe herself down briefly and changed her into pajamas before getting into bed.

"Goodnight, my dear."

He didn’t know if Nora could hear his goodnight, but he said it anyway.

The round moon hung high in the sky, seeming to move a few inches higher, casting its light on the profiles of the two inside the room, shadows deepened.

The aromatherapy competition.

The time and location for the next round have already been updated on the official website.

Nora glanced at it and recorded it in her phone’s memo.

Taking her phone, she went to the renovated study to find Jasper Sinclair, only to see him tapping away at the computer.

"Jasper."

Seeing her approaching, Jasper temporarily set aside his work.

"Why the heavy heart? Are you unhappy?"

Nora sat opposite the desk, hands clasped together supporting her chin, brows slightly furrowed, and replied, "It’s not really unhappiness."

"Tell me about it."

"The next round is in another city, and I don’t want to go alone." She bluntly stated her distress.

Though the location isn’t far from Stanton City, she still doesn’t want to face an unfamiliar environment by herself.

Jasper leaned forward, gently tapping her forehead with curved knuckles, "For such an important competition, I wouldn’t miss it for the world. What are you thinking!"

After the preliminary round, the international competition opened up her fame completely, the event grew so large it stimulated the local economy.

For Nora, it’s a rare opportunity that not only boosts her reputation but also raises VK Brand’s awareness.

A new issue arose.

Nora lightly tapped the screen with her fingertips, showing Jasper the contents of the memo.

"How about the start of the month?"

In her memory, Jasper is busiest during two periods every month: the beginning and the middle.

Jasper took the chance to check the schedule for the next month, eyes fixed on the first day of December, soon his gaze grew somber.

"I’ll try to free up the first three days of the month to accompany you to the competition."

"Okay."

The competition venue is in the neighboring city. Nora checked the high-speed train tickets beforehand, and there are still plenty of seats.

The next round is split into three days, one match each day, with other times left for contestants to rest or adjust their mindset.

Why mention adjusting the mindset... everyone in the competition is top-notch from various places, the field is full of hidden talents.

Next day.

Jasper handed this dilemma to Louis Hayes.

Louis was caught in a bind: "President Sinclair, the board meeting’s timing really can’t be changed. If you’re not present, it will be hard to explain to the shareholders."

The competition’s schedule clashes with the start of December, and as the head of the group, Jasper cannot be absent.

As for the competition... even if Nora secures second place, it would greatly enhance her reputation.

He similarly doesn’t want to miss any of Nora’s pivotal moments in life.

Thus, finding a balance becomes difficult.

In the spacious office, Louis dared not take a deep breath, afraid of igniting the situation.

It was a long time before the solemn man spoke again.

"Inform the board that the meeting will start early at eight o’clock. No one is permitted to be late."

After much consideration, this seems to be the best solution.
