Chapter 1101 Mr. Davis's Personally Made Coffee
The secretary standing nearby was just as stunned.
What... what was going on? Something seemed off.
But who would dare to question Kelvin's personal matters?
"Get back to work," Ryan said, pushing the file in his hand away.
"Yes, sir."
After a moment's thought, Ryan added, "You didn't see anything, and you shouldn't say anything. Just focus on your work and keep your mouth shut, got it?"
"Got it, Ryan."
Ryan was puzzled himself.
What was Kelvin up to? This was completely out of character for him.
Could it be that Kelvin was trying to break into the entertainment industry? Signing Thessaly wasn't enough, and now he wanted to sign another actress?
And the first one he wanted to collaborate with was Jessamine?
But for something like this, Kelvin wouldn't need to get involved personally.
Ryan couldn't figure it out, no matter how much he thought about it. He sighed, hoping that Penelope wouldn't find out about this.
He really hoped Penelope wouldn't suddenly show up!
In the CEO's office.
"What would you like to drink?" Kelvin asked.
"Me?" Jessamine was taken aback.
"It's just the two of us here, so of course I'm asking you."
"I... I can drink anything," Jessamine stammered, overwhelmed. "Whatever you have, I'll drink."
"Coffee, then."
Kelvin walked over to the coffee machine.
He stood in front of the machine, expertly operating it.
The aroma of coffee beans filled the office.
Jessamine gazed at Kelvin's profile, watching his every move with deep admiration.
This was the most powerful man in LA, wealthy beyond imagination. Anyone who could get close to him would be set for life!
Last time, she had been too eager, trying to win Kelvin over in one go, which backfired.
A man like Kelvin had seen countless beautiful women. She needed to take it slow!
Thessaly had caught Kelvin's eye before, but now it seemed... Kelvin's interest in her had worn off, and he was thinking of her again!
This time, Jessamine vowed to herself to make a good impression!
"Mr. Davis," Jessamine asked, "why did you suddenly call me over today?"
"Nothing much, just thought of you, so I called you over," Kelvin glanced at her. "Is that a problem?"
Jessamine immediately smiled, "Of course not, Mr. Davis. Anytime you think of me, just call, and I'll be here right away!"
Kelvin agreed, "Alright."
His straightforwardness made Jessamine's heart race with excitement. She felt more confident than ever.
It seemed her chance was considerably promising!
Her days of replacing Thessaly... were just around the corner!
"Coffee," Kelvin placed the cup in front of her, "no sugar, just a bit of milk. It's how I like it. See if you can get used to it."
Jessamine eagerly took a sip.
"Delicious," she nodded repeatedly, "Mr. Davis, your coffee is different from what I usually drink!"
He smirked, "Indeed. Few people get to have coffee made by me and served personally. You're one of them."
"How many?" Jessamine asked, "Does Thessaly get this treatment?"
In Jessamine's mind, Thessaly was her rival, her competition.
She believed Thessaly was Kelvin's kept woman, which was why she had so many resources in the entertainment industry, with Davis Group's PR and legal departments at her service!
But now, Kelvin was tired of her and looking for a new woman, and he found her!
She had to compare herself to Thessaly in every way!
Comparing herself to Penelope was still a bit out of reach.
Penelope was the legitimate wife, and she had given birth to a pair of twins, her status unshakable!
"No," Kelvin replied, "she hasn't."
Jessamine was ecstatic!
Kelvin treated her differently!
She was overjoyed!
After placing the coffee down, Kelvin returned to his desk.
He started working.
"Mr. Davis..." Jessamine asked, "You called me over, but now you're busy with work. What's the point of me being here?"
Kelvin stared at his computer screen, not blinking, "To keep me company."
"I..."
Kelvin said, "Be quiet, be patient, just sit still and don't disturb me."
With that, Jessamine didn't dare speak further.
Kelvin was deeply engrossed in his work.
Signing documents, approving files, making calls, replying to emails, he hardly paused.
He seemed to completely forget that Jessamine was still in the office.
Jessamine didn't dare disturb him, as he had asked her to be quiet.
She waited and waited.
From noon until afternoon, as the workday was about to end, Kelvin finally leaned back in his chair, rubbing his temples.
"Mr. Davis!" Jessamine finally seized the moment, "Are you done?"
"Almost."
"Are you tired? Should I give you a shoulder massage?"
She thought Kelvin would surely agree and praise her for being considerate.
Unexpectedly...
"No need," Kelvin declined, "It's getting late, you've been here long enough. You can leave now."
Jessamine stood there, speechless, unsure of what to say.
Leave?
Kelvin was just letting her go like that?
Jessamine was bewildered, unable to accept it.
What was the point of her being here? What was the purpose?
To drink a cup of coffee? To keep Kelvin company while he worked all afternoon?
"What's wrong?" Kelvin asked, seeing her standing there, "Do you need me to see you off?"
"Mr. Davis, I..."
Jessamine was confused, completely unsure of Kelvin's intentions!
"Your company this afternoon was very fulfilling," Kelvin said calmly, "If you want, you can come to my office whenever you have time. I've already told Ryan you can come and go as you please; you heard that."
Jessamine was even more puzzled, her mind unable to process it.
Kelvin asked, "Don't you want to?"
"I do," Jessamine nodded, "Of course I do. But... am I just here to keep you company while you work?"
"For now, yes. As for the future..."
Kelvin's voice trailed off, leaving Jessamine with endless possibilities to imagine!
He didn't continue, letting her boldly fantasize!
Sure enough, Jessamine's face lit up with excitement, but she quickly hid it, showing a look of eager anticipation.
"Mr. Davis, then..." Jessamine asked, "I happen to be free tomorrow, can I come over?"
"You can come anytime."
With Kelvin's confirmation, Jessamine's heart was bursting with joy.
