Chapter 190 A Conversation
The caller was Jennifer.
Without hesitation, Monica answered, “Hello, Miss Fox. Her voice sounded respectful and gentle, as it always did.
“Stanley took Melinda to Navelie. Did you know about it?” Jennifer sighed on the other end of the line
Surprised. Monica replied, “I didn’t know. I only knew he handed his work over to Max. Her heart pricked at the
thought. Did they go to Navelie? To the castle estate?
Then, she heard Jennifer’s voice again. “Monica, why don’t you stay at Repulse Bay tonight? Come over for dinner.
There are many things I want to talk to you about.”
Monica’s heart was filled with anxiety, unsure of what Jennifer wanted to discuss. Would Jennifer try to persuade her
to give up? But she could only agree. “Okay.”
“I won’t disturb you at work anymore. You can go back to your tasks.” Jennifer hung up the phone.
In the elegantly decorated office, Monica sat down in the chair, holding her phone and being lost in contemplation.
She had no idea what Jennifer’s stance was. What did she want to talk to her about? Was she going to apologize?
Was she going to ask her to give up Stanley?

“Miss Keller, Max knocked on the door and entered with a file in his hand. “What’s wrong? You don’t look well.
“It’s nothing” She regained her composure and quickly returned to her usual self, taking the file from him.
Max reported, “A real estate company from Campen actively approached us for cooperation. After evaluating
various aspects, they believe this project has great development prospects. This is the evaluation report I compiled.
Please have a look.”
Monica wasn’t in a rush to read the file. Instead, she looked up at him. “Did Mr. Fox say that during his absence, all
matters should be handled by me?”
“He handles the major matters himself. You can call or email him for thosexo.com fast update. For smaller
matters, you can handle them. There’s no need to bother him,” Max answered truthfully.
Bother him?
He could take a country woman on a trip but having to deal with work at the same time is considered a bother to
him?
Monica felt that Melinda was bad and would eventually ruin Stanley!
She glanced at the project evaluation casually before handing it back to Max. “You can decide on such
matters.
Max sensed her unhappiness. “Alright then.
Watching him leave, Monica felt her mood worsen. Since leaving Repulse Bay, she had felt incredibly
uneasy.
Night fell.
The bright moon hung high among the tree branches, and stars sparkled in the sky. It was a peaceful and beautiful
night.
In the courtyard of Repulse Bay, the plants were covered with a layer of moonlight. Some blooming flowers
appeared even more vibrant as they collectively emanated a charming beauty.
Inside the brightly lit kitchen, Jennifer not only selected the recipes herself but also supervised the cooking. “No
garlic for Monica, remember!”
Without wearing a mask or gloves, it was as if she had removed her shackles. She could finally wear her favorite
clothes, and her temper had improved greatly.
The servants brought out the dishes, which looked sumptuous, but Jennifer had little appetite. What was wrong?
She pondered for a moment but couldn’t dwell on it for long-

Soon, Monica, wearing a red dress and high heels, entered the dining room. “Miss Fox.”
“Wash your hands and sit here. Jennifer smiled at her. “We can have dinner now. These are all your favorite
dishes.”
“Okay.” Monica was familiar with the place and washed her hands before sitting across from Jennifer.
Faced with the table full of delicious dishes, she felt her stomach growling. “It looks so tasty! It’s making me
hungry.”
“Let’s eat!” Jennifer also picked up her cutleries.
Since entering the room, Monica had been observing Jennifer’s expression. So far, what she observed was still
acceptable. However, that didn’t rule out the possibility of frank remarks after an elaborate setup.
Dinner was enjoyable and relaxed as only work-related topics were discussed.
After dinner, Monica took the initiative. “Miss Fox, shall I take a few portraits of you? I have professional camera
equipment in my car, and I studied photography before.”
Stephanie knew Monica was trying to get closer to Jennifer and was deliberately pleasing her.
Jennifer agreed in a good mood. That would be great!
