Chapter 1402:
“I think there's been a misunderstanding,” Jessica said calmly, throwing him a lifeline. “Sure, he’s a bit excessive
when it comes to partying, but work-wise? He's actually quite responsible. I've looked into the company. Since it
targets younger audiences, the bar and nightclub visits are more like market research than leisure.”
Jack blinked, completely stunned.
“Is that so?” Hector asked, eyebrows lifting.
“Yes.” Jessica nodded. “The last t| dropped by a nightclub, | saw him working—not drinking.”
“That's good to know,” Hector said, clearly reassured. He turned to Jessica with a fond smile. “Keep an eye on
him, will you? If he crosses the line, scold him. And if he ever dares to mess with you, just letknow.”
“He’s doing just fine,” Jessica said, covering for Jack again. “No need to worry.”
“Glad to hear it,” Hector said with a satisfied nod. “I'll leave you two to it.”

“What the hell?”
“You keep going on about Melvin, but deep down, you must have a thing for me,” Jack went on, letting his
delusions run wild. “Otherwise, how would you know so much about my company?”
“You really think highly of yourself,” Jessica said, fixing him with a deadpan stare. She didn’t even let him enjoy
the moment. “Your desk is practically wallpapered with brochures—intro, business focus, target market, you
nit.”
