Chapter 377 She Doesn’t Seem To Be Talking Business
Shortly after, Oliver drove steadily and parked the car in front of Jonathan’s company building.
Upon exiting from the car, Angela attempted to reach Jonathan by phone, but he was preoccupied and did
not answer.
Having visited his company numerous times in the past, she didn’t think much of it and headed toward the company as usual.
Just as she arrived at Jonathan’s office floor and stepped out of the elevator, she ran into Spencer coming out of the meeting room.
Surprised to see Angela, Spencer inquired, “Mrs. Lawson, why are you here?”
Angela naturally addressed Jonathan by his first name whenever she met his friends. “I need to talk to Jonathan.
If she didn’t have to leave for training that evening, she wouldn’t have hurried to the company to see Jonathan. After their meeting, she would have to return home and pack her bags. It was unlikely she would wait for him to finish work before departing.
Spencer nodded understandingly, then hesitated a bit before saying, “Jon is in a meeting. I’ll take you to his office to wait.”
Angela nodded. Since Jonathan didn’t answer her call, she guessed he was probably in a meeting. Now, hearing it from Spencer confirmed her suspicion, so she wasn’t too surprised.
After escorting Angela to the office, Spencer had tea brought in and went to attend to his own matters.
He was undoubtedly the busiest person in the company at the moment. Usually, he would be in the conference room negotiating partnerships with other business partners. However, the woman who came today requested a private meeting with Jonathan, and she claimed to be from Riverdon.
When he thought about Angela waiting in the office, he couldn’t help but feel concerned for Jonathan.
Feeling a bit anxious, he worried that she might feel uncomfortable knowing that Jonathan was meeting with a woman from Riverdon.
Suddenly, there was a sound from the conference room. Since he was nearby, he went in directly.
To his surprise, the woman who was supposed to be discussing business earnestly was now apologizing to Jonathan with a guilty expression. “Mr. Lawson. I’m sorry. It was unintentional. I just didn’t have a good grip on the teacup and spilled it on you.”
As she spoke, she tried to wipe it off Jonathan.
However, Jonathan coldly stood up and avoided her. He walked out and said icily, “I’m going to change clothes.
Upon seeing Spencer at the conference room door, Jonathan nodded. “Please ask someone to come in and tidy up the table.”

The woman Dose in place when she caught a glimpse of Spencer, who had suddenly entered the meeting room. After listening to Jonathan’s instructions, Spencer glanced at the messy table and sofa before saying to the woman. “I’ll have someone come in to clean up.”
“No need?” She directly refused. Til tidy up myself. The business I discussed with Mr. Lawson needs to remain confidential for now.”
Spencer didn’t express any opinion. He simply nodded and left.
He couldn’t shake the feeling that the woman wasn’t here to discuss business as it seemed more like she was trying to seduce Jonathan.
After all, who would bring a suitcase when they were just here for a business meeting at someone else’s company? And not only did she not introduce herself upon arrival, but she immediately asked to see Jonathan
If it weren’t for Jonathan actually knowing her. Spencer wouldn’t have let her in at all.
Yes, Spencer was the vice president of Jonathan’s company’s branch in Northland, yet he didn’t even know
the woman’s name.
Spencer waited anxiously nearby for a while. Upon seeing Jonathan return in different clothes, he quickly asked. “Who’s that woman?”
“Cassandra Hayes, Jonathan said, giving him a strange look before entering the meeting room. “We can consider this collaboration.”
Spencer chewed on the name Cassandra Hayes in silence for a while.
With only one name given to him, he couldn’t really assess the woman’s identity or intentions.
Believing that Angela was still waiting for Jonathan, Spencer couldn’t keep her waiting. After serving tea in the meeting room, he returned to his office.
However, he was preoccupied with something, making it hard for him to concentrate. Reflecting on the woman’s behavior that appeared to be trying to seduce Jonathan, he grew even more uneasy.
Unaware of Spencer’s unease, Angela mentally reviewed all the steps related to the test before opening her
eyes
Upon opening her eyes, she was met with his concerned gaze.
“What’s the matter. Spencer?
Jonathan shared a close bond with Spencer, and they would often gather at Jonathan’s apartment or meet up outside. As a result, Angela was quite familiar with both Spencer and Yarrison.
Especially Spencer, who assisted at Jonathan’s company. Whenever Angela visited Jonathan’s company, she would inevitably run into Spencer.
After a few such encounters, they had become casual friends and were able to exchange a few words.
Spencer looked at Angela, hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth, and finally spoke, “Mrs. Lawson, the person who came to speak with Jon, is from Riverdon, and she’s a woman. As soon as she arrived, she

insisted on speaking with Jon alone, and her eyes were fixed on him. Mrs. Lawson, you need to be cautious!”
Upon hearing Spencer’s words, Angela first fell silent for a moment, then realized that he was reminding her not to be deceived.
She chuckled softly, first thanking him, then saying, “Jon wouldn’t do anything to hurt me.”
Upon hearing her words, Spencer became anxious and quickly said, “I am his friend, so I know he wouldn’t do anything to hurt you. I trust his character!”
Angela smiled at his anxious demeanor. She knew he had something else to say, so she didn’t interrupt him and let him continue.
Upon seeing that Angela didn’t misunderstand his intentions as trying to sow discord, he continued, “But that woman’s gaze toward Jon seemed off, and she kept trying to get close to him whenever she could.”
After the tea was spilled, he had initially planned for someone else to bring more tea to the meeting room, but he was concerned and decided to do it himself. To his surprise, he witnessed the woman attempting to get closer to Jonathan during their conversation.
Despite Jonathan rebuffing her advances, Spencer was worried that Angela might misunderstand and create some distance between them due to Jonathan’s concern for her.
Upon hearing this, Angela simply nodded and said, “I understand.”
Just when he felt that she was too indifferent and still somewhat worried, she suddenly inquired, “Is that woman named Cassandra Hayes?”
“Mrs. Lawson, you know?” Spencer breathed a sigh of relief. He realized that she was not indifferent at all, but had prior knowledge.
“Yes, her name is Cassandra Hayes.”
Just moments ago, he had been grumbling internally about Jonathan only providing a name, but now it proved to be useful.
Upon Cassandra’s arrival in Northland, she went straight to see Jonathan, even carrying her luggage. She didn’t seem to be there for business but rather seeking refuge.
Both Jonathan and Spencer were taken aback by the disheveled Cassandra, but Jonathan was intrigued by the collaboration she proposed and agreed to discuss it.
Even the unexpected and sudden events that surprised them both, Angela seemed to be aware of, as if she had foreknowledge.
It appeared that she still harbored concerns about Jonathan, fearing he might be swayed by someone else.
With this in mind, Spencer also felt a sense of relief.
Angela didn’t know what he had imagined, but seeing him relaxed, she knew he wasn’t as worried as before.
