The Understated Dragon Lord

Chapter 219 The Sudden Invitation Sniffing as much as she could, Jessica only detected the scent of alcohol and strace of cooking fumes on Daniel. There was no hint of any woman's perfume. And her eyes were busy too, scouring Daniel's appearance for any suspicious marks. There were no traces of women's hair or lipstick marks on him, so it seemed he hadn't got mixed up in anything inappropriate with his male colleagues.

Seeing Jessica stop sniffing, Daniel couldn't help but ask with a grin, "Wanting to know if I touched another woman?" "You guess?" "Rest assured, I wouldn't mess around with other women." "You better not!" Jessica grabbed the small scissors from the coffee table and gave them a threatening squeeze.

Snap! Snap! The sound alone was enough to send shivers down a person's spine.

"With such a beautiful dear as you, why would I dare to fool around? You're the only one I'd ever mess with." With that, Daniel moved in closer to Jessica.

"Get lost!" Jessica playfully punched him away.

"Go take a shower! You stink!" "Dear, wait for me!" Daniel dashed into the bathroom. After a thorough scrubbing, he cout fresh and wrapped in a bath towel. However, Jessica was nowhere to be seen in the villa.

"Damn woman, she actually playedlike that?" Daniel was annoyed. He had taken a shower for nothing.

The next day, Daniel lay in bed watching videos until noon. It was only when his stomach growled with hunger that he finally got up and headed to the office. But instead of going to his own office, he carried a KFC bucket to the president's office.

"Dear, I brought you lunch." Jessica glanced at the bucket he was holding and remarked, "Is this your idea of lunch? Are you moonlighting at KFC?" "Dear, won't you have some? These roasted wings are really good!" As Daniel proffered a wing toward her mouth, Jessica bit a small piece and admitted, "Tasty! Thanks! And remember, don't call'dear'! Callthat again, and I swear I'll tape your mouth shut!" At that moment...

Knock! Knock! There was a sudden rapping at the door.

"Quick, hide this stuff," Jessica said to Daniel and then called out invitingly, "Cin!" The office door opened, and Ryan stepped in. Jessica was somewhat surprised; she expected an employee, not Ryan.

"Ryan, hello! Sorry for coming unannounced; I'm here to deliver an invitation," he said.

"An invitation? Is your daughter getting married?" "No, nothing like that. Next week, the Martial Club United will hold its presidential election, and I wanted to invite Jessica to watch." Ryan handed the invitation to Jessica. The Martial Club United election had nothing to do with her; what could Ryan's angle be? Though puzzled, Jessica checked the date and realized she was free that day. Thus, she nodded her agreement. "Alright!" After all, she couldn't afford to snub Ryan's face.

"I'll leave you to your work, then. See you there, Jessica!" With Ryan gone, Jessica shook the invitation in her hand and turned to Daniel, "This invitation from Ryan-is it for me, or for you?" "Aren't we a package deal? Does it matter if he invites you or me? But seriously, what's with that old coot Ryan? He actually wrote Jessica on the invitation instead of Daniel. Does he think our household is run by a woman?" Chapter 219 The Sudden Invitation Sniffing as much as she could, Jessica only detected the scent of alcohol and strace of cooking fumes on Daniel.
