Chapter 442 - Being followed
Why is Edward Wright calling to her personal number.....
Scott who sensed tension emitting from his wife is now wide awake. Right now his main job is to prevent her from taking stress and make her occupied with something that will stop her from over thinking anything.
When he saw the ID of caller he frowned and clenched his teeth. That idiot, what do he want now?
"Jean, sleep now. Ignore his calls" Scott sternly said and pulled her into his embrace before snatching her mobile and rejecting the call.
It’s been a while Scott called her ’Jean’ and if he did so that means he is very serious about something. Naturally she understood the tension and friction between him and Edward.
"Hmm...." Jean nodded her head and hugged Scott by his waist before getting some sleep.
Whereas Edward didn’t stop calling her. He called her personal number, business number as well as the number she only use for family.
Scott got very frustrated that he is about to switch her mobile off but Jean stopped him and answered the call.
What if something important has cropped up in project. The dead line is too near and she can’t allow the personal grudge to effect the quality of this magnificent project.
If this works out well the status of INA will rise to next level....
"Mr. Wright" Jean casually greeted while Scott gritted his teeth. He wanted to snatch away her mobile and shout on him but he don’t want his wife to scold him or cry.
"Ms. Grey...oops...Mrs. Summers. It’s better to call you like that right" he chuckled.
Jean rolled her eyes. His approach towards her always made her confused. Mocking? Friendly? She didn’t understand which?
"Mr. Wright, Can I ask why did you call" Jean didn’t beat around the bushes as her husband is fuming with anger.
"Oh sorry Ms. Grey. I just called you to ask to prepone our meeting to today" he asked little nervously.
Jean frowned. It is her husband’s birthday how can she leave him and attend a meeting. The king of jealousy is already angry now.
"No Mr. Wright I honestly can’t accept it." Jean apologized.
"I am sorry Ms. Grey. I understand but some important personal matters cropped up so I really have to go. Can we please prepone it" he asked and it felt genuine.
Jean sighed. "OK. Mr. Wright, confirm the venue and timings I will be there. But we have to wrap it up in one hour" she said.
"Thank you....Ms. Grey. I will ask my assistant to message the details" Edward thanked her.
"Hmm" Jean agreed and cut the call before facing her husband who is looking at her with his eyebrow raised.
Sighing deeply Jean shifted and sat on his lap. "Hubby it’s only one hour." She coaxed him.
"Wife, do you remember that it is my birthday today...Hmm.....how can you leave me" Scott pouted.
Jean found it extremely cute so she pinched his cheeks. "I am not leaving you forever right. It’s only one hour" she smiled and kissed his lips.
Scott flipped her and pinned beneath him. "Still...Wifey. Give me my birthday gift and go. But after coming we will go back to country A. Darling...after that you are not allowed to go out of our home" Scott said as he continued kissing her neck and shoulders.
"Mmm" Jean agreed. Moreover she is missing her mother and father.
But how can she just sit in the home without doing anything. Honestly she can’t...but for Scott she couldn’t help but agree.
.......
"Be careful baby. Take your medicine if you feel like puking okay" Scott couldn’t help but worry.
He hugged her tightly. "Come soon" he kissed her and opened the car door for her.
"Hubby I will be out of your sight for only one hour. And I will be fine" Jean ruffled his hair.
He don’t know why but this gave him a bad omen and he wanted to accompany her but he too had a very important meeting to attend and Jean didn’t allow him to postpone it to become her ’assistant’s.
Little he knew his premotion come true...
"OK Wifey." Scott pouted.
....
After one hour....
"This is one of the best project Hermes did" Edward shook his hand with Jean.
"Same here Mr. Wright. I hope we complete this smoothly" Jean said while shaking his hand.
"Likewise Ms. Grey." Edward smiled.
Jean nodded her head and stood up to exit the room.
"Ms. Grey where are you staying. If it is sector 49 then I advice you not to take outer ring road" Edward said out of nowhere.
Jean looked at him with amus.e.m.e.nt. The resort is indeed in the road connected to sector nine.
"There is a traffic jam Ms. Grey, that is the reason I was late" he said.
"Sure" Jean smiled back in business way before going back.
When she reached the crossroads she started having dilemma to take which road. Deciding to believe him she took the alternative road.
However Kiara called her and Jean grinned as she accepted the call.
"Hi baby" Jean greeted her bestie.
"Darling I am at my studio. Will you pick me up, your brother ditched me to meet his friend" Kiara pouted.
"Sure baby. Ten minutes ok" Jean took the u turn and entered the city again.
After picking up Kiara both of them started towards the resort. However they have to cross the first traffic signal.
As he said there is a traffic jam and Jean cursed. Taking u turn Jean went in the alternative road but she failed to notice her team which got struck in the Jam.
Jean and Kiara are busy in laughing but she didn’t fail to notice the people following them.
Her heart started to beat faster and she tried to contact her team but in vain.
She looked at Kiara whose face is brightened as she laughed.
