Chapter 392
Teresa still insisted, “Don’t bother, really
Jonathan clutched his lower left side, where his stomach hadn’t hurt long ago. “You got me so worked up. Now my stomach is acting up again”
“Then maybe just don’t get so mad,” Teresa shot back.
Jonathan got back on topic. “Teresouth Group is mainly engaged in women’s products, so there aren’t many companies you can partner with if you don’t tell me, I’ll just look it up myself. Don’t say I’m invading your privacy.”
Teresa went quiet for a few seconds.
After Teresa told him about the company, Jonathan immediately know who it was. He’d crossed paths with the guy before, so he called. “Mr. Fracer, it’s Jonathan. If you’re free today, let’s talk about that project you mentioned the other day.”
“I’m at the hospital. It’s gastroenteritis, nothing serious. My girlfriend is here taking care of me,” Jonathan said casually
After a few quick words, Jonathan hung up.
Teresa glanced around. “So, where’s
‘s your girlfriend?”
Jonathan raised an eyebrow, “Are y you really that clueless, or just pretending?
Teresa pointed at her own face. “I’m your co–wife. Won’t he recognize me?”
“He knows I was married, but he’s never actually met you,” said Jonathan.
Teresa was left speechless.
It wasn’t long before the chairman of Frazier Group arrived. It was the one who’d planned to work with Teresouth Group. But after being stood up, he
wasn’t so sure about the partnership anymore.
“Mr. Lynn, how did you end up sick?” Steve Frazier came in loaded down with bags, flowers in one hand, his secretary trailing behind with a fruit basket and all sorts of fancy health supplements.
Jonathan started to get out of bed, but Steve quickly stopped him. Mr. Lynn, you should really stay put. Don’t mess up your stitches.”
“Thank you for thinking of me, Mr. Frazier, have my girlfriend make you some coffee,” Jonathan said.
Just then, Teresa stepped out of the side room, carrying a tray of freshly brewed coffee. Steve caught sight of her and froze for a second, surprised.
Jonathan introduced her, “This is my girlfriend, Teresa Johnston.”
Steve’s eyes widened “Wait. Isn’t this the boss of Teresouth Group? We were supposed to work with Teresouth Group, but there was a little hiccup along
the way
Teresa gave a polite apology. “I’m really sorry, Mr. Frazier. I stood you up today and was late for our meeting. I truly apologize.”
“Teresa was up all night taking care of me. That’s why she was late. If you want to blame someone, Mr. Frazier, just blame me, Jonathan added.
“Oh, Mr. Lynn, you’re being too serious,” Steve replied quickly.
Steve wouldn’t dare blame Jonathan. He glanced at Teresa again and saw the tender look in Jonathan’s eyes whenever he looked at her Steve smiled “It’s an honor to work with Teresouth Group,‘ll have my secretary bring over the contract right away”
Teresa nodded. “Don’t worry, Mr. Frazier, Teresouth Group won’t let you down.”
Chapter 392
Steve chuckled, “You’re Mr. Lynn’s girlfriend, I trust you completely.”
Teresa didn’t say anything else, but a flicker of disappointment flashed in her eyes.
if she was still basking in the perks of being his wife, she’d be happy no matter what. But Jonathan wasn’t her husband anymore. Now, her en bet helping her, and she still ended up relying on his influence.
Before leaving, Steve shook Jonathan’s hand. “Mr. Lynn, Ms. Johnston is so much more poised and sensible than your ex wife
Teresa froze.
“Oh?” Jonathan’s interest was piqued. “You’ve met my ex wife?”
Steve chuckled, “Not really. I’m just guessing. You’re such a powerful figure. Your ex wife must’ve been blind to divorce you”
Standing off to the side, Teresa couldn’t even fake a thugh. She could only manage an awkward but polite smile.
