Chapter 238

After returning home, Nydia called Willette first.

“Willette, I went to Uncle’s house for dinner today and told him that I’m going to work the day after tomorrow.”

“Why do you have to work for the old man? Isn’t Barclay’s place better? There are more young people there!”

“Don’t I have to avoid suspicion with Barclay? We have to be careful not to start any rumors among us sisters!” She joked.

However, Willette was stunned, wondering if Nydia was implying something.

“What are you thinking? Don’t you trust me and him? Besides, you’re married and have children. How could you do anything so sordid? If anything, you should be afraid of Jesse.”

“I know.” Nydia smiled and agreed. “Oh, by the way, Willette, can you throw me a birthday party? Don’t make it too grand, just keep it simple.”

“I’ll arrange it. You just need to show up.”

“Okay, thank you.”

Nydia hung up the phone, feeling uneasy. Willette would definitely not miss the opportunity to throw her a birthday party.

She had to be careful that day.

Jesse came over after taking a shower and saw her sitting there in a daze.

“Did you finish drawing?”

“What?” Nydia didn’t react.

“The pillow.” He reminded her.

“Not yet. I’ll do it now, and it should be finished tomorrow.”

“Okay, show it to me when you’re done.”

“Sure.”

After Nydia promised, she took out her tools to start drawing. Jesse noticed that Nydia didn’t mention sleeping together with him anymore, and couldn’t help feeling a little disappointed.

But he knew it was for the best. If he rejected her, she would be unhappy.

Nydia was waiting for Jesse to invite her to sleep together, and she had already decided that if he didn’t invite her, she wouldn’t go to sleep with him!

She had to stand her ground!

Although this man is very tempting, she can still resist it!

She sketched out herself on the paper and decided what she wanted to look like. Following Jesse’s instructions, she had to dress nicely, but showing a little shoulder wouldn’t hurt, right?

Thinking so, she began to draw. She might have gotten carried away because she couldn’t stop after finishing that drawing. Immediately after finishing that, she started drawing the ancient-style comic she had planned before. She first created the story background and then outlined the characters’ rough features. As the characters were changed according to her and Jesse’s story, they only needed a background.

The two kids didn’t appear for the time being.

Willette and Barclay also corresponded to specific characters.

After organizing everything, she found that it was already past four in the morning and fell asleep immediately.

She was awakened by a knock on the door in the morning and told to have breakfast.

She didn’t want to eat at first, but after being woken up, she felt really hungry. She had spent a lot of energy last night, so she decided to eat a little and then continue sleeping.

“Mommy, what did you do last night?” Molly saw Nydia looking tired and falling asleep even during breakfast.

“I stayed up late working last night,” Nydia explained briefly.

Jesse glanced at her, thinking that she might have been looking at Malone Group’s data.

He had asked Vergil to collect some information on Malone Group and some basic information on their designers, but he forgot to give it to her last night.

After breakfast, he handed the data to Nydia. “This is the information on Malone Group.”

Nydia was startled at first, but then she took it and said, “Thank you, it’s very important.”

“Oh, by the way, I only went to bed after 4 o’clock this morning. I need to catch up on sleep now, so you’ll have to take care of lunch yourself today.”

“… ”

She wanted to take the data back!

On the way to the company, he had a bad look on his face, making Vergil tremble.

“Sir, is something wrong?”

“Nothing.”

But he didn’t look like he was okay!

When it was time for lunch, Vergil thought Nydia would bring him a bento, but Jesse asked him, “Where’s my lunch?”

“Missus hasn’t brought it yet!”

“Who told you she would bring it?”
