Go After My Ex-wife
Chapter 1245 Laughter

"Help me." Jepherson walked towards Raeleigh. She handed him a black suit and a blue striped tie. "That's better."

Jepherson looked at the clothes in her hands. He neatly took off his coat and threw it aside. He then took off his tie and threw it away. He took the tie in her hand and put it on. Raeleigh then picked out another coat for him.

Having put on the suit, he raised his eyes and looked at her. "Is this ok?"

"Looking very sharp, Mr. Harvey!" Raeleigh deliberately flattered him. The corners of her mouth curved upwards. She picked up the documents and walked towards the door.

Raeleigh didn't know what was on his mind, but he must have worn the wrong outfit on purpose.

Raeleigh then followed him into the meeting room. When she stepped in, she saw Jepherson sitting next to Lamarre as the chairman. She knocked on the door and went in. When Jepherson saw her, he said, "Miss Anson, you're late. Remember to be punctual next time."

"Yes." Raeleigh nodded at the door and she then followed him to her seat. The meeting began after she sat down.

First, she explained her design concept, followed by Lamarre's construction plan. This was to be their first collaboration between mentor and apprentice. The company paid no mind to outsiders who envied many of their subordinates.

After the meeting, Jepherson got up and left, but he stopped at the door. He then asked Raeleigh and Lamarre to accompany him for lunch. But Raeleigh had a lunch date with Xanthus.

"Mr. Lamarre... Can I please skip this? I already have an appointment with someone." Raeleigh chased after Lamarre and said this to him. Lamarre said to her as he walked, "You want me to take the blame for you, so, no."

Raeleigh followed Lamarre closely. "Master..."

"Even my rank won't do much good here."

Lamarre didn't agree to her request, so she gave up on the idea and called Xanthus. It was time for lunch.

It was already noon. Jepherson came out of his office and called Raeleigh.

"Come downstairs." He quickly hung up the phone, acting as though he was a man of few words.

Raeleigh looked at Lamarre after receiving the call and followed him down.

There were many people in Jepherson's limo. The two of them sat down and went to the restaurant that Jepherson had booked for lunch.

The three of them ate, as Jepherson ordered a table's worth of food. Raeleigh's appetite had grown recently. During her time at the Osteen family residence, Jazelle personally cooked three meals a day for her. She was so spoiled that she couldn't enjoy eating ordinary food anymore.

Jepherson had ordered some first-class dishes, but Raeleigh didn't seem to like them very much.

"Don't you like them?" Jepherson gave her some food and smiled politely. Lamarre raised his eyebrows and looked at them. "What are you doing?"

"Mr. Harvey, don't mind me. I'll do it myself." Raeleigh picked out the food she liked, took a few bites, and she then stopped.

"Can you really be full after eating so little?"

"I'm on a diet."

In order to stop him from running his mouth, she said that quickly. She didn't know that he had taken it seriously.

"Losing weight? Have you put on some?" Jepheron raised his eyes and looked at Raeleigh. She forced out a smile. "A little."

"I don't think you're that skinny really." Jepherson wiped his mouth as he spoke. He had already finished eating.

Raeleigh had nothing else in mind. After eating with him, she went back to work in the afternoon.

There was no need for her to go back to school. She had to work in the company then, and she had to do so every day officially.

That afternoon, Raeleigh went to Lamarre's place to inspect the car. She went over just before two o'clock.

She knocked on the door and entered. Lamarre and Raeleigh were talking about the structure and design concept of the car seats. Jepherson then entered the work area and gestured politely. He didn't disturb them but he quietly sat down to listen.

Raeleigh and Lamarre continued discussing until they agreed and they then sat down.

"Why are you here again?" Having doubts about his connection with Raeleigh, Lamarre asked him this. Jepherson looked at Raeleigh and curved his lips. "Nothing. I was just curious."

"You're a designer as well. Are you a thief?" Lamarre teased. Jepherson sat across from her and crossed his legs. Raeleigh went to make a cup of coffee and handed it to him. He uncrossed his legs and thanked her. He picked up the coffee, stirred it, and took a sip while looking at her.

Lamarre had plenty to talk about with Jepherson. Raeleigh felt that she couldn't relate to their topics, so she went downstairs.

As she left, Jepherson sent a text message to Stuart. "Keep an eye on Raeleigh."

"Yes, sir!"

Stuart then went off to monitor her. Raeleigh stepped into her office and sat down. Many people gossiped about her when they passed by her office. She stopped and listened to some of them.

"I heard that she got in because of Lamarre."

"I heard it was because of the vice president."

"She's really beautiful, and she's getting even more beautiful every day."

Raeleigh listened for a while, how they gossiped about her getting the job through some back door connections, but all that soon passed.

Raeleigh went back to her office after a while and leaned against the door. She played with the toys on her desk.

Raeleigh didn't go out that whole afternoon. However, before night fell, a group of employees were terminated from the company because of gossiping.

When Raeleigh got off work, she stood at the entrance of the company. Several people came out with briefcases and lamented how unlucky they were. She didn't know who they were.

She turned around when she saw them walking towards her. She thought to herself, "I don't want to see these people. It is better to avoid unnecessary trouble. It is better to avoid looking at them." When they walked over, Raeleigh turned around and watched them leave. She continued waiting for Xanthus to pick her up.

However, before Xanthus's car arrived, Jepherson's car stopped in front of her.

"Come on in."

Stuart got out of the car and opened the door. He looked out at her and asked her to get in.

Raeleigh hesitated for a moment. "My brother is on his way to pick me up."

Jepherson waited for her from inside the car. "I'll wait with you then."

Raeleigh checked the time. "No need. He will be here soon."

"You are all alone out here. The weather is really cold, and you are not wearing much." He glanced at her legs and her silk stockings with her high-heeled shoes. "The company doesn't have a rule saying that you have to dress professionally, especially for you. You only show up, at most twice at the assembly line, every day anyway. It's not very convenient to dress like that. I will get someone to arrange for a set of overalls for you tomorrow. You'll receive it tomorrow morning."

She stared at him. Overalls?

She was a designer, not a mechanic. Why would she need overalls?

But after thinking about it, Raeleigh finally agreed. Jepherson hadn't left yet. She waited until Xanthus arrived and said goodbye to Jepherson. Then, she went into Xanthus's car.

The next day, Raeleigh received her new set of overalls that was sent to her by the management. After she put it on, Raeleigh chuckled. She was indeed different from the others. Even her mentor gave her a thumbs-up, praising her, saying that she looked good in it, and even better than an actual mechanic!
