A Second Chance With My Billionaire Love

He leaned against the window, puffing on a cigarette while awaiting someone. Soon, two folks approached, handing him the villa key with respect.

Taking it, Albert nodded, and then stepped out of the SUV.

He entered the villa.

It looked just as it did when he had first bought it, but now, it felt empty without Jessie's things...

He ran his hand over the sofa gently, reminiscing about the wild times with Jessie.

He'd pinned her down there on the sofa and made love to her.

‘s Her skin had been so soft, and she'd trembled like a scared kitten in his arms.

Most of the time, she was compliant, but when she got mad, she'd blow her top.

Reflecting on the past three years with Jessie, he wasn't sure if hed treated her right...

It was hard to put into words!

Even though he had other lovers while seeing her, he did care for Jessie. That was why they'd often clash, but shed always end up giving in.

Now, Albert realized he'd been a real jerk...

Heading upstairs, he wandered around, touching this and that for quite some time.

Meanwhile, Melissa ended her call.

Though she didn't pry for details, she sensed Jessie wasn't doing well...

Sitting in her leather chair, she mulled it over, then summoned the financial director to her office.

As a seasoned pro, the manager seemed to anticipate Melissa's thoughts. When she inquired, he promptly responded, “Honestly, we were in a tight spot a while back. But thanks to new investments, things are looking up. We've got some spare cash on hand now.” Melissa nodded. “I recall we used to customize uniforms annually, right? 've heard the Green family offers a similar service. Have the logistics department look into it, and inform the head office, too!” Having once been Albert's most trusted assistant, Melissa had her connections in the company. The financial manager simply followed her lead without question.

Once he left, Melissa remained seated for a while.

She pondered over Jessie's situation and the events between her and Marcus...

For Elsie's sake, Melissa wrapped up her work early. Before heading out, she rang Marcus. “When do you finish up today?” Marcus chuckled upon hearing her voice.

“Well, well! What's the occasion? Miss Brown, why the sudden call?

What can I do for you?”

In her soft tone, Melissa replied, “I'm a few blocks from your office. My car's acting up. Could you give me a lift?” Sitting at his desk, Marcus raised an eyebrow at Melissa's request.

Sylvia was standing right across the desk from him.

Marcus got a call from the villa just moments ago. The housekeeper said Jessie had sent someone over, a woman who used to work for Albert. Marcus figured Melissa must've acted on her own and now was trying to butter him up! Without letting on, Marcus said, “Alright... Where are you? I'l swing by” “No need... Um, I'l meet you at the office,” Melissa rushed to say, hanging up abruptly.

Bears Turning to Sylvia after the call, Marcus said, “Carry on. I'm all ears.” Sylvia quipped, “Melissa, huh?” With a grin, Marcus nodded.

“Yep! She's coming over to pick me from work!” Sylvia was taken aback.

At the company entrance, Melissa was about to hail a cab to Marcus’ office when she a spotted black SUV pulling up.

Who could it be? Could it be Mr. Waston?

Indeed it was. Albert nodded at Melissa, gesturing for her to hop in.

Then, he fired up the engine.

Ina hushed tone, Albert asked, “Where to?” “The Fowler Group” Melissa answered.

After a beat, she added, “When'd you get back, Mr. Watson?” Focused on the road, Albert remained silent. After a pause, he murmured, “I've been back a few days. Oh, are you going to see Marcus because of Jessie?” Melissa wasn't about to reveal her little scheme.

So she simply gave a vague reply.

Albert didn't press further. He dropped Melissa off at the Fowler Group entrance. As she prepared to leave the car, he handed her a bag of files, saying, “Check these out!”

Melissa flipped through the files, discovering they were project- related.

She was taken aback. “You've been working on this?” Albert lit a cigarette, replying, “I got it sorted. For specifics, hit up the other party. But keep Jessie in the dark about my involvement. If all goes well, the Green family might weather the storm.” Taking another look at the files, Melissa sighed.

“The project's solid but the Green family’s strapped for cash. It would take billions to kick it off. How's Jessie gonna rustle up that kind of cashin a jiffy?” Exhaling smoke, Albert shrugged. “Jessie will figure it out” Melissa, sharp as a tack, grasped Albert's implication immediately.

Marcus was the only one who could help Jessie.

Albert added nonchalantly, “I tried, but she turned me down! Melissa...

You're the one I trust most. So don't let me down!” A pang of sadness hit Melissa.

After years of working with Albert, she knew him fairly well...

He must have regretted his actions!

But there was no going back.
