Chapter 1070 Jealousy
Anthony didn't argue with the pregnant Jane. He took her hand again and led her outside.
"Anthony, what are you doing? Let go of me! Where are you taking me?" However, Jane couldn't break free from his grip and frowned all the way.
"Let's just take a walk," he coaxed.
Anthony had heard that people in a bad mood should take a walk to relax. The more they sat quietly, the worse they felt.
Jane was a bit dazed, being led by Anthony to the project department. It wasn't until she saw the shocked looks of the people there and heard them greet Anthony in unison that she came to her senses. "Good day, Mr. Clark!"
Anthony nodded coldly.
The crowd exchanged glances secretly. It was the first time they had seen Anthony with a woman. Even when Anthony and Aurora were engaged, he never brought Aurora to the company.
But today, not only did he bring a woman, but he was also holding her hand intimately!
"Mr. Clark, who is this?" Someone boldly asked about Jane's identity.
Anthony looked at the person but didn't answer, not intending to introduce Jane to them.
Jane felt relieved inside; she didn't want to be introduced by Anthony to these people.
Otherwise, within an hour, everyone in the Clark Group would know she had come to the Clark Group, and Anthony was holding her hand.
"Mr. Clark, there's a document that needs your signature." The marketing manager came out with a document and happened to see Anthony.
Anthony took the document, quickly glanced through it, and signed it on the spot.
"What?" Anthony noticed Jane looking at him.
Jane didn't speak at the time. When there were no more Clark Group employees around, she crossed her arms and looked up at Anthony. "Why do I feel like you're showing off? Deliberately bringing me to tour your territory?"
To make an inappropriate analogy, it was like a male animal showing off its strength and territory to impress a female.
"Did I impress you?" Anthony was taken aback but followed up with a question.
He didn't actually intend to show off his territory. He just wanted to take Jane around and let the people below know that he had a beloved woman, to prevent any inappropriate thoughts.
At the same time, by not introducing Jane, rumors would quickly spread that Anthony had a beautiful woman by his side who he cherished deeply, but they wouldn't know it was Jane, only speculate.
"Anthony, are you dreaming?" Jane mocked him with a blank face.
Anthony smirked, not minding Jane's mockery, and asked her, "What do you want for lunch?"
"Anything." She didn't have any particular cravings.
"Our company's cafeteria, want to try it?" Anthony asked.
Jane gave him a look that said, "Are you planning to feed your son cafeteria food?"
She was picky, and no matter how good the cafeteria chef was, it wouldn't be good enough for her.
Jane's frustrated look amused Anthony, and his smile grew wider.
Jane then realized he had asked about the cafeteria on purpose and rolled her eyes in anger. "You're bullshitting me!"
"Jane, don't use bad language." Anthony ruffled her hair, admonishing her.
Of course, they wouldn't eat at the cafeteria. Anthony took Jane to a high-end restaurant near the company.
As soon as they entered, the rich aroma of meat soup hit them. The smell made Jane's stomach churn, and before Anthony could react, Jane ran outside and dry-heaved in a corner.
Since her stomach was empty, nothing came out, but Jane's face turned pale, looking very weak.
"What's wrong? Why did you suddenly throw up? Should I take you to the hospital?" Anthony held Jane, pulling her into his arms, his heart aching.
His face looked extremely worried, as if he were the one feeling nauseous.
"No." Jane refused without hesitation. "The smell of that soup was just too much!"
"Let's not eat here!" Jane waved her hand repeatedly, just wanting to leave the place quickly.
"Alright."
Twenty minutes later, the Clark Group's internal employee chat was buzzing with messages: Mr. Clark came back carrying a woman! And it was a tender princess carry!
Jane originally wanted to walk on her own, but Anthony insisted on carrying her. After dry-heaving, she felt unwell and became a bit lazy, not wanting to move.
Jane wasn't a pretentious person. In the morning, Anthony had held her hand and walked around the company, so it wasn't a big deal for him to carry her this time.
She had no reason to refuse comfort.
Anthony carefully placed Jane on the bed in the rest area of his office.
He gently brushed the hair off Jane's face, his fingertips full of tenderness. "Still feeling unwell?"
Jane murmured a response, naturally feeling unwell.
Then she said, "Go away. I don't want to see you right now."
Anthony was a bit surprised. "What did I do to upset you?"
"I'm nauseous because I'm pregnant, and I'm pregnant because of you."
Alright, no argument there. It was indeed his fault.
"Call me if you need anything, okay?" he said.
Jane watched Anthony's departing figure. Just as he was about to close the door to the rest area, she suddenly called out to him, "Anthony."
"Yes?"
"What do you think of Delilah?" she finally asked.
Anthony frowned. "Who?"
Anthony's eyes were filled with confusion, not recalling who Delilah was.
"Never mind." Jane turned away and pulled up the blanket.
She must have been out of her mind to ask Anthony about Delilah.
Jane hadn't interacted much with Delilah, but in the brief few minutes they met today, Jane clearly saw Delilah glance at Anthony several times. Those glances, seemingly open but actually sneaky, reminded her of her own secret crush on Anthony years ago.
Maybe she was overthinking it.
Anthony frowned, recalling the name Jane had just mentioned.
'Delilah? Who the heck is that?'
Anthony suddenly remembered that in the elevator, Jane had called the woman next to Benjamin "Ms. Johnson."
Could Jane be talking about that woman named Johnson? Did Jane know Benjamin wanted to introduce Delilah to him? Was she jealous?
No, Jane couldn't possibly know Benjamin's intentions.
Could it be that Delilah had said something to Jane on purpose?
"Mr. Clark, is Ms. Watkins feeling unwell?" Clint had seen Anthony carrying Jane inside.
Anthony didn't answer but instructed him. "Call Emerald Gardens and have Billy prepare a few dishes for Jane. Send someone to pick them up."
"Yes, sir."
