His Precious Love

Chapter 358

Standing there was Gianna, dressed to the nines. Her tall, slender figure made her stand out from the crowd. Gazing at Jessica with her gorgeous eyes, she greeted, “It’s been a while, Ms. Marsh. Care for a chat?”

“Get your hands off me!” Jessica snapped. As she was in a hurry to make a phone call, she did not wish to waste time talking to that woman before her eyes. She tried to fling Gianna’s hands away but to no avail.

Dissatisfied, Gianna insisted, “You don’t want to talk? Well, I do.”

Considering that Linda’s shop was right around the corner, Jessica feared being seen having an argument with Gianna. She lifted her chin slightly and gestured toward the emergency exit nearby. After Gianna loosened her grip, she led the way at once.

Soon enough, the duo entered the emergency exit.

During the interim, Jessica had been trying to get Rayna on the phone. Yet, before long, Gianna closed the door behind her and raised a question. “Do you remember the day when you came looking for me and asking for my help? Why did you wire me the money without actually letting me help with anything?”

“Isn’t it good enough when you get to have free cash like that?” responded Jessica, growing impatient. Deep down, she was starting to panic because Rayna still did not answer the phone after several attempts. “I have an emergency to attend to, so if there’s nothing else, I’ll be going now!”

Getting one step ahead of her, Gianna stood in the way and refused to let her go. “Oh, no, you don’t. Who knows if you’d stab me in the back later on by calling me a swindler and putting me behind bars?”

“Return me the money, then, was Jessica’s only suggestion.

“No way.”

“Then keep it. Consider it a gift. I promise I’ll never use it against you.” It was clear that Jessica had reached the limit of her endurance. “I still have matters to deal with, so if you’ll excuse me!”

Be that as it might, Gianna was still there, blocking the path with her slim body. “I can’t just take your word for it. How would I know what you’re really thinking?”

That left Jessica at a loss for words.

Promptly, she fished out a pen and a piece of paper from her handbag and detailed a statement in black and white. She even signed her name on it before handing it over to Gianna. “There, happy? I’m in a rush for something, so please move aside before anyone gets hurt.”

Gianna carefully kept away that piece of paper, but instead of letting Jessica off, she probed further, “You previously told me to get together with Mr. Lopez, so when will you be hooking us up?”
