Chapter 207
“Mr… Mr. Moore!” After the girl came back to her senses, she hurriedly bowed respectfully to Peter.
“Yeah,” Peter only replied lightly, “don’t be nervous. I just want to see if the door of this pantry is secure.”
Peter left after saying that.
The girl was still in a daze.
To see if the pantry door was secure?
What kind of excuse was that?
When Peter’s figure completely disappeared around the corner, the girl immediately rushed into the pantry.
She immediately saw Jessica.
“Miss Rodriguez, are you alright?” The girl’s eyes were filled with worry.
“… I’m fine.” Jessica immediately shook her head.
However, because of her anxiety, her face turned red..
And because she felt too guilty, she did not dare to look into the girl’s eyes.
Her expression immediately made the girl get the wrong idea.
“Miss Rodriguez, were you bullied by Mr. Moore?” The girl said righteously.
“No, no!” Jessica quickly waved her hands when she heard this.
“You sure?” The girl was still in disbelief.
“Yes, I’m sure!” Jessica confirmed.
Under Jessica’s repeated assurances, the girl’s expression finally relaxed.

Then, she looked outside the door. After confirming that no one was coming, she lowered her voice and said to Jessica..
“Miss Rodriguez, you haven’t been in the company for long. You might not know about Mr. Moore’s temper.
“He changes women even more frequently than changing clothes. He never takes relationships seriously, even though his family background and looks can easily make people fall for him.
“But all the girls who have been in this company for a long time know that you can secretly admire Mr. Moore’s looks or even adore him in your heart, but you should never really go cut with him.
“Otherwise, you will definitely be the one who gets hurt.” This girl liked Jessica very much, so she said a little too much.
After all, boys were not the only ones who liked such gentle and cuddly girls.
Even girls couldn’t help but feel protective when they saw such a cute and obedient girl.
“Mr. Moore… He doesn’t look like that kind of person.” The look in Jessica’s eyes flickered fiercely.
“You’re too naive. You can only judge a person by what they appear to be
“Let me tell you something quietly. I heard it by accident.
Chapter 207
“Didn’t Mr. Moore get thrown to a small place like Solemwood for more than a year? it’s because his private life is too messy. He even disturbed the chairman, Mr. Moore’s mother. In order to teach him a lesson, the chairman deliberately transferred him to a godforsaken place.”
When Jessica heard this, she did not know what to say.
“You usually just keep your head down and focus on work. You definitely don’t know the evilness of society. A young gentleman from a wealthy family like Mr. Moore won’t care about ordinary girls like us.”
“If he bullies you in private, you must tell me. I’ll get justice for you even if I have to give up this job!” The girl enunciated each word clearly.
“… Okay.” There were thousands of words stuck in Jessica’s throat, but in the end, she could only reply in a low voice.
“Good girl.” Seeing how obedient Jessica was, the girl’s maternal instincts were instantly satisfied.
Actually, she wasn’t the only one. Many colleagues in the company treated Jessica as their own child.
Because this girl was too obedient, like a cute bunny.
She always made people worry that the big bad wolf outside would secretly take her away.
After returning to her table from the pantry, Jessica’s mood fluctuated.
She looked at the work in front of her and slacked off rarely.
It was as if everyone around her was telling her that she and Peter were not right for each other.
But if she had given her heart to him, how could she take it back safely?
Whoosh!
Jessica let out a long sigh, then forced herself to stop thinking about those things and continue working seriously.
At this moment, Marina was sitting on the sofa with a worried expression.
She bit her lower lip and frowned.
It was as if she was thinking about a particularly difficult question.
“Isn’t it just a birthday present? Your grandfather dotes on you so much. Even if you give him grass, he will definitely accept it happily and get someone to frame it.” Quantum was sitting in front of the computer and playing games.
Phoenix, on the other hand, was extremely attentive as it held the fan in its claws and fanned Marina.
When Marina heard this, she looked up at him leisurely. “What do you know? What I’m going to prepare is not just a gift but dozens of gifts!”
“Dozens? Why do you need to prepare dozens? Does your grandfather receive gifts according to his age? Are all the rich people so spendthrift?” When Quantum heard this, he was no longer in the mood to play games. He turned his chair and looked at Marina in surprise.
Marina looked at Quantum as if she was looking at an idiot.
“It’s not only for my grandfather but also other members of the Bailey family.”
“Then I’m mere confused. Isn’t it your grandfather’s birthday? Why do you have to prepare gifts for others?” Quantum frowned.
“It’s a long story…” Marina let out a long sigh. “In any case, I have to prepare a lot of gifts. Otherwise, something big will happen.”
Quantum didn’t know what to say.
“You rich people really have a lot of rules. However, I saw on the Darknet previously that there would be an auction this Saturday.”
“There will be much good stuff inside. If you don’t have any clues, you can go there and pick some,” Quantum reminded her considerately.
Chapter 207
“An auction? What good stuff can there be in that place?” Marina looked a little disinterested.
Quantum said, “Don’t look down on this auction. I heard that this is an auction that includes both domestic and foreign treasures. It’s said that there’s also the scepter of the Queen of Esmonia.”
“What do I need that for?” Marina rolled her eyes.
“I’m just trying to help you out because you’re having a headache thinking about it. You got nothing to lose by going there and taking a look anyway. It would be nice if you can find something you like. If not, just take it as a part of the fun.”
However, Marina suddenly sensed that something was wrong with his words.
She narrowed her dark eyes instantly. “You’re the one who wants to go there, aren’t you?”
“Well…”
“I really can’t hide anything from you. I want to see the world, too. It’s just that the stuff you rich people play discriminates against us ordinary people.”
“The auction is memberships only. I don’t even qualify for admission,” Quantum said angrily.
“Alright, I see.” Marina looked up helplessly.
“So you’ve agreed to bring me along?” Quantum immediately jumped up from the stool.
