Chapter 228

Seeing the red glow on Nydia’s cheeks, Jesse’s heart skipped a beat as her took on a pink hue.

Some things, once experienced, can become addictive and uncontrollable. A glance, a facial expression, or a single sentence could all become a trigger.

Jesse raised an eyebrow and said, “If we’re talking about rogue behavior, who can compete with you?”

She’s trying to flirt with him in every way possible!

“Well, I’m not serious in the first place, unlike you who’s always so serious. You’re even playing this kind of joke!” Nydia whispered.

Jesse’s lips curved into a seductive smile, “So you know you’re not serious?”

Nydia was stunned by his smile!

Jesse, are you trying to seduce me into committing a crime?

Looking at Nydia’s stunned expression, Jesse felt pleased, as if yesterday’s awkwardness had disappeared.

“I’m going to the company.”

“Okay.”

After Jesse left, Nydia couldn’t hide her smile.

Jesse just seemed to come alive all of a sudden. He has always been handsome, but he’s always used a cold exterior to downplay his looks, leaving no room for any romantic thoughts.

She felt like there were broken ice fragments in her eyes if she stared at him for too long.

“Missus, your package has arrived.”

“Okay, thank you.”

Nydia opened the package and found the customized pillow she had ordered earlier. She was overjoyed, knowing that now she and Jesse would each have their own pillow.

She quickly washed the pillowcase and aired out the stuffing.

She went back to her room, turned on her laptop, and logged into her personal account.

“I received the pillow, it’s well made, thank you!”

“You’re welcome, your satisfaction is my honor.”

“I’ve already drawn two pictures, I’m sending them to you now.”

“Okay.”

Nydia handed over two finished drawings to the shop owner, both of which were drawn according to the shop owner’s requirements as a way of testing her abilities. One was a cute-style pet, and the other was a cartoon character.

The shop owner was very satisfied with the drawings and paid her immediately.

The cute-style pet was priced at 200 yuan, while the cartoon character was priced at 300 yuan, for a total of 500 yuan.

Although this amount of money was not a big deal for Nydia, it was a stepping stone for her future.

“Because these two pictures were drawn according to our requirements, the pricing will be a bit lower. For future drawings that you come up with on your own, we will add to the price,” the shop owner explained.

“Alright,” Nydia replied.

“Are you sure you don’t want to sign a contract with us?” the shop owner asked.

“No, we’ll just exchange pictures for money,” Nydia replied.

For Nydia, signing a contract would reveal too much information, and she didn’t want to deal with it.

The shop owner actually wanted to sign a contract, as they didn’t want Nydia to draw for other shops. However, they knew that if they had a falling out with Nydia, she would definitely stop working for them. Since she wasn’t relying on this job for income, they had no leverage over her, and it was better to just work together this way.

Besides, from their initial contact, they didn’t think Nydia was interested in working with them in the first place.

After finishing the conversation with the shop owner, Nydia went to work on her own public account.

She had applied for an account called “Drawing Comic” and wanted to use it to tell her story with Jesse, but with a traditional background.

She had also given herself an author’s name, “W. L.”

For this name, she had designed two cute-style characters, W and L, holding hands. She incorporated these two letters into the drawings she did for the shop owner, and they became her logo.

After finishing all of this, she checked the time and went to the kitchen to make something to eat.

This time, she was using her own personal kitchen in the Pascall Villa, which was designated for her use and had utensils that she had personally acquired.

Jesse was in the Pascall Group’s CEO office.

“Sir, it’s time for lunch,” Vergil reminded him.

“Later,” Jesse said.

Vergil wasn’t sure, but he waited anyway.

Around noon, Vergil asked again, “Sir, are you still waiting?”

After hesitating for a moment, Jesse replied, “Yes, I am.”
