The Woman From Hell
Chapter 1039

Chapter 1039

When I saw the grave look on Jordan's face, I thought h e was still angry. I said carefully, "I've readthrough these documents, Mr. Fredericks. You can sign them if everything’s okay."

Jordan did not look at me, nor did he say anything. He continued to read the documents in his hand.

I planned to leave after putting the documents on the table when I noticed his hand on his stomach.I recalled the words Lally said to me in the conference room and realized what was going on. Heprobably looked grave because he was suffering from gastric pain, not because he was mad.

Perhaps it was because he did not have his breakfast this morning. I felt a little guilty and ran backto my seat to pull out a few candies from my bag.

I would keep some candies in my bag and pop one into my mouth whenever I ate a salty dish. Theyhappened to come in handy now.

I returned to Jordan's office table and placed the candy on the table, saying, "I'm really sorry abouttoday, Mr. Fredericks. Have a piece of candy first. I'll g o and buy you some gastric medication andfood for you right now."

Jordan looked at me with dark and bright eyes. His sharp eyebrows were raised, and the corners ofhis mouth were curved. "Lally told you?"

I pursed my lips and nodded faintly. "Lally said you have a sweet tooth and your stomach will hurt ifyou don't eat in time. I'll pay attention to details like these i n the future and work hard to gain yourapproval."

After saying that, I looked nervously at him.

Jordan smiled slightly and said a little helplessly, " Just make sure this doesn't happen again. I'mfine. Go and finish your work. Don’t worry about me. I'll take m y meal at noon."

His complexion was really pale. I asked worriedly," Can you hold on for that long?"

Jordan smiled slightly. "This isn't the first day it has happened. I'm already used to it. Besides, it'll benoon soon, so a short wait makes no difference."

I nodded. "Why don’t you take some candies and drink some water first?"

When I returned to my workstation, I was still a little uneasy and thought about going to the pantryto heat u p a glass of milk.

It just so happened that Shannon called, so I answered the call and said, "You're up pretty early."

Judging from her character, she should be sleeping until noon after staying up so late last night.

"I need your help, bestie," Shannon said seriously.

Hearing the sound of cooking on her end, I asked with a smile, "You’re not thinking about sendingJordan lunch, are you?"

"Fuck!" Shannon was astonished. "How did you know that?"

I was actually right.

Shannon giggled mischievously. "Since you guessed i t, then I'll directly ask for your help. Send meyour work address. I'll send the food over once I'm done."

She continued after a pause, "Your company requires a n appointment beforehand, right? If so,remember to come down and get me."

"Sure." I was just worrying about what to eat for lunch.

"I’m hanging up, then. I’ll give you a call when I'm there."

Shannon was about to hang up after saying that.

I remembered something and quickly said, "Mr.

Fredericks has gastric. Bring some medicine when you come over."

Shannon smiled at once. "You're the best, bestie."

After hanging up the phone, I got ready to serve Jordan some warm milk.

I bumped into Lally who came in to get some water.

She seemed a little tired, so I asked with concern, "You didn't sleep well last night, Cally?”

Cally nodded and said a little helplessly, "I went home late last night and saw my child playinginstead of doing his homework. Hence, I supervised him as he finished his homework. I didn't go tobed until the latter half of the night. I don’t know what the hell the child's father is up to either. I reallyregret having a child now. I feel like I'm aging really fast after having a child. Look, do you see a fewmore lines around my eyes?"

She leaned closer to show me after saying that.

I laughed. "What grade is your child in?"

"He'll be in fifth grade soon, the period I'm most worried about."

I subconsciously said, "My son will soon be in elementary school as well."
