Chapter 283: Internal Competition
Chapter 283: Internal Competition
In front of the bad woman, Nora showed off, feeling great.
"Aunt Hutchinson gave me this invitation, to a customized brand’s internal perfume competition."
As he spoke, Jasper Sinclair handed her a folded invitation.
The date on it was today.
Nora asked, "Do you have time to accompany me?"
"When the wife speaks, I dare not disobey."
"You smooth talker."
"No real action to show your sincerity?" As soon as the words left the man’s mouth, before Nora could react, a series of delicate kisses descended on her.
She tilted her chin up, accepting Jasper Sinclair’s affection, her heart fluttering like rosemary on the coast, unable to stop trembling.
Evening, seven o’clock.
The two arrived at the brand’s location and were led by a staff member to the competition hall.
...
The two-hour competition ended, leading into the award ceremony.
Nora successfully broke into the inner circle, getting several perfumer contacts to share insights with in the future.
When they left the building, it was already late.
"Jasper, I’m hungry."
Jasper Sinclair took them to a French restaurant, unexpectedly encountering Jenson.
The two intended to bypass him, but Jenson directly blocked their path.
"Cousin, sister-in-law, what a coincidence."
When he called sister-in-law, he turned his gaze to Nora, his eyes shadowed.
Jenson thought: Not seeing her for months, Nora’s demeanor has indeed changed greatly since before.
Nora kept a light smile on her lips, nodded slightly, with no intention of speaking.
"Why not add a pair of chopsticks at your table and let me join your meal?"
Nora felt strange, unable to figure out why he wanted to be a free third wheel.
Jasper Sinclair directly refused aloud: "We don’t plan to eat here, you might have to pay for yourself."
Behind him, a small hand quietly pinched with force.
Jasper realized, "Wife, let’s go home to eat, it’s not safe outside."
Then, he openly led Nora out of the restaurant.
Jenson remained standing, watching their departing figures, his gaze mostly on Nora.
Having a workshop of her own, such capability cannot go unenvied, her figure and looks only adding to the allure.
Jasper Sinclair, if I manage to win over Nora, will you still be calm facing off with me in business?
Elsewhere, outside again, Nora took big breaths of fresh air.
"I didn’t expect to run into him here." Jasper explained.
"Jenson felt strange today, he never gave me that impression before."
After this ordeal, Nora’s mood to have a late-night snack mostly dissipated.
Finally, the two returned to Southwood Court and ordered takeaway.
In another part of the city.
Wendy Bell, six months pregnant, appeared at Jenson’s place.
"You mentioned last time to get under my cousin and Nora’s skin, tell me exactly."
Several months had passed, and Wendy had forgotten how she asked then.
She rolled her eyes, a hint of malice flashing in them; she wouldn’t spare either of them!
If not for Jasper Sinclair’s heartlessness, how would she be pregnant with a rapist’s child?
Thinking of this, she gritted her teeth and said, "President Sinclair, your cousin loves his wife dearly, if you take her away, how would he react?"
In the past, Jenson also entertained this thought.
