Chapter 156 You Can Resign

Come home? Those last two words sent everyone in the room staring at Jessica with incredulous looks. Was New York’s most glamorous CEO actually suggesting that this country fellow should come home with her? Wasn’t he just her assistant?

Impossible. Absolutely impossible!

Andrew couldn’t contain his disbelief and addressed Jessica directly. “Jessica, what did you just say? You want this country boy to come home with you?”

“Daniel is my personal assistant, so of course he’ll come home with me. He lives at my place so he can be on call 24/7!” Jessica’s response was meant for Isabella.

For some reason, when she saw Daniel flirting with Isabella, a wave of jealousy surged through her. A woman’s intuition is often incredibly sharp.

Isabella sensed Jessica’s hostility; she had no intention to compete, but as a woman, she didn’t want to lose either. So, with a smile, she looked at Daniel and said, “Daniel, if you want to borrow a billion from me, in addition to paying me back 18 billion, you’ll have to agree to one more condition.”

“What condition?”

“You’ll be my assistant, on call any time!”

Isabella threw the gauntlet with each word being a direct challenge to Jessica.

Jessica didn’t retort; she understood Isabella’s intentions and wanted to see how Daniel would react.

“Beautiful, I’m not against the idea of being your assistant, but there’s a saying about first come, first served. Before you asked, I had already promised Jessica a year of my assistance. So, if you want me to work for you, it’d have to be at least a year later.”

Daniel’s answer seemed fair, but his implications weren’t lost on the astute Jessica. She glared at Daniel, demanding, “What do you mean by that?”

“Anyway, Jessica, you didn’t sign a long–term contract with me. What if you dump me after a year, and I’m out of a job? It’s only right to line up my next job for the sake of

my future! And I haven’t deceived you, Jessica. If you’re unhappy, you can fire me right now!”

“You…” Jessica was so frustrated she wanted to punch him. Daniel was becoming. increasingly disobedient.

After taking several deep breaths to calm herself, Jessica gave her verdict. “Daniel, let me make it clear, your probation period has been extended. It’s gone from one year to five. That means you can’t become a full employee until five years have passed. Of course, if you disappoint me, I can end your probation anytime and fire

you!”

“WHY?”

“Because I’m the boss, and you are the employee. If you’re not satisfied, you can resign right now! Submit your resignation, and I’ll approve it immediately!”

Jessica had played her final card; she was testing Daniel. She wanted to know if he had any conscience left. If Daniel truly chose to leave, she would be heartbroken, but

she’d have no regrets.

dewan hearing this, Jessica’s anger turned to delight. “Okay!”

Se. Jessica, you’re willing to lend me the billion now?”

“Don’t lend! You can go borrow it yourself”

Jessica still refused. She had her principles; she would not allow Daniel to take part in such a high–stakes gamble with Andrew. It wasn’t about the money; it was about the mentality. If she let Daniel proceed with this massive bet and he ended up

getting addicted to gambling, what if his next wager was for a hundred billion? The Matthews‘ fortune was just over a hundred billion–how could she support such reckless gambling?

Daniel turned to look at Isabella, speaking earnestly. “Beautiful, I cannot be your assistant because my dear Jessica would disagree. However, if you’re willing to lend me the billion, I can repay you with 20 billion! All the billions I’ll win from Andrew, I

can give to you.”

“If you give all 20 billion to me, then you take a huge risk and end up not winning a penny–are you okay with that?”

“Money isn’t important; I can always have as much as I want. The thing is, Andrew is messing with me, so I simply want him to lose money, maybe along with some dignity!

“Sure, as you wish. Since Jessica won’t let go of you, I’m fine with it. But if one day she lets you go, come replace me. I will wait for you to become my assistant–that kind of 24/7 personal assistant!”

Isabella wasn’t joking; she was very serious. A person with medical skills surpassing Florida’s top doctor and Jade Gambling capabilities exceeding Florida’s number one
