Chapter 342 Travelling Thousands of Miles to Bring Warmth to Jesse

Nydia felt something was amiss. Normally, the director wouldn’t point out someone directly and ask them to go.

“If you already decided to send Taylor, why not just ask her privately? Bringing it up in the meeting and asking if anyone wants to go, I said I want to go, and then you say it’s for Taylor. Isn’t this contradictory?”

The director looked embarrassed. He originally wanted Taylor to go directly, but Taylor insisted on mentioning it in the meeting, otherwise people would think she’s not qualified enough. He didn’t expect Nydia to also want to go.

“Well, let’s draw lots then. Everyone who wants to go can draw lots. There shouldn’t be any objections, right?” The director didn’t want to offend anyone, so he suggested this old and fair method of drawing lots.

“That’s fine.” Zane agreed.

He hadn’t said much, but his gaze always passed over Nydia. Every time, he would remember what Willette said about Jesse wanting to divorce Nydia.

So Nydia working so hard now was probably to prepare for after the divorce.

Because they were drawing lots, other designers were also eager to try their luck. After all, this was a good opportunity.

Taylor glared at Nydia hatefully. This was originally her opportunity, but now the result was uncertain after drawing lots. She pulled out a stick and became even more angry when she saw that it wasn’t the short one.

Nydia also drew a stick. It was a coincidence that she drew the short one.

“In that case, Jesse will go. Is there any objection?”

“What objections could there be? No one dares to object.” Taylor said sarcastically.

Nydia frowned and said unhappily, “It’s not interesting if you talk like that. Drawing lots is based on luck. Do you think this opportunity should have been yours in the first place?”

“I was just talking casually. Don’t be angry, don’t be angry.” Taylor quickly laughed it off. “Luck is also part of strength.”

“Let’s end the meeting.”

After the meeting, Maddie couldn’t help but say to Nydia, “Nydia, why do I feel like Taylor is being sarcastic? And what does she mean? I always feel like she’s been acting strange lately.”

“You feel that way too? I do too. She always comes to me to show off her existence.”

“I also feel like her eyes look down on people. I can understand if she looks down on me, but what does it mean if she looks down on other designers?”

Nydia shook her head. “Never mind, it’s not our business. I need to tidy up and leave for the capital in the afternoon.”

As soon as she finished speaking, Zane came over and knocked on her desk. “We’re leaving at 2:30 this afternoon.”

Nydia was stunned. “Are we going with you?”

“What? Don’t want to? You can switch with Taylor if you want.”

“No, I was just asking,” Nydia replied, wondering why Zane was reacting so strongly.

In fact, after the incident with Pippa coming to find Zane and him denying that she was his fiancée, Nydia no longer held a grudge against Zane. Since Zane had nothing to do with Pippa, she wouldn’t deliberately target her. She had been overthinking things before.

Nydia thought of the bet between her and Jesse and decided to go find Willette.

“Why are you here? Don’t you not want to see me anymore?” Willette spoke in a cold voice, her eyes showing a hint of disdain. She knew Nydia would come to her on her own, and she didn’t need to worry.

“I just came to ask if you still want to borrow money,” Nydia said, purposely pouting like a child throwing a tantrum.

“No! We’ll figure out a way to get the money ourselves. We don’t need to borrow from you. You idiot! When Jesse takes all your money, don’t come crying to me!”

Thinking of how Jesse had so much of Nydia’s money, she became so angry that her liver hurt. Those funds should have been hers.

“When I divorce him, he’ll definitely give me the money back. He’s not short of money,” Nydia said stubbornly.

“Are you out of your mind? You have several billion, who wouldn’t be short of money? Jesse doesn’t have that much liquidity!” Willette was about to be driven crazy by Nydia’s pig-headedness.

“How do I have several billion? Sister, are you dreaming? The money that the foundation gave me was distributed in installments. I took out a lot of money when I was in the Malone family, and now I don’t have much left,” Nydia said.

Willette was stunned. “Then how much do you have left now? Didn’t you say you had a fixed deposit?”

“I have 50 million in a fixed deposit, and another 30 million is with Jesse.”

That’s a total of 80 million, which wasn’t too shabby.

“Why don’t you manage your money better? You could earn a lot if you invest wisely.”

“It’s not like I haven’t tried to manage my money. Remember when we bought stocks and lost millions?” Nydia replied, making Willette look uncomfortable. She had encouraged Nydia to buy stocks before, and while they initially made some profit, they ended up losing more and had to cut their losses.

Nydia had also spent over ten million in the Malone family.

If it weren’t for the Malone family caring about the big picture, Nydia would have died a long time ago.

“When it’s your birthday next year, do you think you’ll get another billion?” Willette asked.

“Well, you should just divorce Jesse sooner, or else he’ll take your money again.”

“Didn’t you say Jesse wanted to divorce you? Why didn’t you agree?”

“We haven’t agreed on the money yet,” Nydia said, feeling frustrated.

“You really worry me. Let’s do this: go home and talk to father about it. Don’t try to handle this on your own, you won’t be able to outsmart Jesse with that brain of yours.”

“I understand. I have to go on a business trip to J City now, so I gotta go.”

After leaving Willette’s office, Nydia went to pack her things. During the lunch break, she went back home to pack her bags and asked where Vergil and Jesse were staying.

“Missus, please don’t make it difficult for me!”

“I’m not making it difficult for you. I’m going on a business trip to J City. What if we happen to book the same hotel? Do you understand?”

“Missus, are you going on a business trip to J City too?”

“Yes. Keep this a secret for me, and I’ll keep your secret too.”

“Okay, I’ll tell you,” Vergil said, but he was stunned after giving her the hotel’s address. Why did he need to keep it a secret? Mr. Jesse would definitely think that he had revealed it.

This is bad! He thought his career was over!

After packing her things, Nydia went to the airport. Zane had already arrived when she got there.

“How many days are we staying this time?” Nydia asked.

“We’ll be back on Saturday.”

Nydia was in a dilemma again. According to Jesse, they would need to stay for four or five days, and he would most likely stay until Sunday.

“Have you booked the hotel yet? If not, I want to stay at this hotel,” Nydia showed Zane the hotel on her phone.

Zane looked at the distance between the conference venue and the hotel and agreed.

“By the way, did you come to Linsui Town to find me before?” Nydia remembered and asked.

“Yes, considering your safety, the director and I decided to take a look, but we didn’t find anything.” Zane answered calmly.

“Thank you. I won’t disappear suddenly next time.”

“Okay.”

After that, the two of them didn’t communicate much, and they headed straight to the hotel after getting off the plane. While waiting for the elevator, the doors opened, and everyone inside and outside the elevator was stunned. Jesse saw Nydia and Zane standing side by side in the elevator, and his eyes instantly turned cold.
