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

Chapter 300: Goal Achieved

It was night.

Liam Jacobs stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, admiring the desolate night scene outside. After a while, the door to the room was pushed open from the outside.

The person who entered was Rachel Woodward.

"How did things go?"

She was dressed lightly, and a fine layer of goosebumps had already appeared on her arms.

Liam Jacobs took off his jacket without saying a word and draped it over her shoulders.

"Rachel, the temperature is dropping recently, you shouldn’t catch a cold."

Liam Jacobs’s care for Rachel Woodward was genuine. Since they met, he had been deeply attracted.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have risked losing his reputation and faced pressure to do things for her.

However, Rachel Woodward didn’t care about this concern at all.

Her mind was fully occupied with whether Liam Jacobs got the job done, and she pressed further, "What did Jasper Sinclair say on that side?"

"He invited me to The Sinclair Group, I said I’d consider it and get back to him."

Upon hearing this answer, Rachel Woodward raised her eyebrows slightly, "Why are you still considering? Why not just agree to him directly?"

"At a critical time, you can’t be too eager, lest you give yourself away." In this regard, Liam Jacobs was evidently more sensible than her.

Rachel Woodward continued asking, "When do you plan to give him a reply?"

"Probably in a week."

The hand holding Rachel’s bag unconsciously tightened, and after calming down a bit, she began to think seriously.

"Based on my understanding of Jasper Sinclair, he should investigate you a bit before you join. We should minimize contact and try not to meet for now."

Liam Jacobs didn’t want to agree but had no choice, "Then make sure to reply to the messages I send you."

Rachel Woodward gave a somewhat perfunctory reply, "Got it."

...

The final time and location of the International Fragrance Competition were confirmed, in London.

Nora Northwood informed Jasper Sinclair about this and added, "I’ve already booked the ticket and hotel, I’ll probably be back in about a week."

At first, Jasper Sinclair didn’t feel anything was amiss.

Until he saw the order list with only one ticket, "Didn’t you buy my ticket?"

Nora Northwood calmly retracted her phone, "I can go alone."

Jasper Sinclair knew that she had never traveled abroad, so how could he feel at ease with her going so far alone?

The man had a somewhat darkened face, pressing the weight of his head entirely on her shoulders and said somewhat helplessly, "Honey, please stop being mad at me, okay?"

For these days, Jasper Sinclair had done everything he could, even the things he should not.

To this day, he truly didn’t know what to do anymore.

Nora Northwood didn’t move, letting him lean against her, her gaze somewhat unfocused and unseeing, not knowing where she was looking.

After a long silence, she sighed softly, "I’m not angry, just a bit disappointed."

"You can yell at me or scold me, just don’t be so cold towards me."

Hearing this, Nora Northwood’s heart inexplicably twinged.

She lifted her arms and, in the end, couldn’t resist symbolically hugging Jasper Sinclair’s waist.

"Will it be like this again in the future?"

Jasper Sinclair’s fingertips glided over Nora Northwood’s neck, and he said with utmost seriousness, "It won’t, I promise to fulfill everything I promised you."

Not hearing Nora Northwood’s reply, he added another sentence, "Can you forgive me this time?"

"Let’s see how you perform." Although Nora Northwood said this, the coldness between her eyebrows had already begun to melt.
