The Understated Dragon Lord

Chapter 301 Jessica's Worries

To avoid raising Jessica's suspicions, Daniel scratched his head, pretending to ponder for quite a while.

Finally, he nodded and said, "Prospera Group? The woman we met at Jade Gambling that time? Honey, I remember every little detail about you. I wouldn't dare forget!"

"Cut the crap. I'm talking business with you!" Jessica snapped at Daniel.

"Business? It's just you and me here, what kind of business could we possibly have to discuss?"

"Stop!"

"What if I don't?" Daniel asked cheekily.

At the same time, he leaned in to steal a kiss on Jessica's cheek.

"Smack!"

Jessica gave Daniel a gentle slap on the face.

But, she couldn't stop him, and Daniel managed to plant a big kiss on her cheek with a loud smack.

"Ugh! Get lost! You're so annoying!"

"Why am I annoying? What's wrong with Prospera Group?" Daniel asked, truly interested in the business now that he had his fun.

"That Isabella... She's now the CEO of Prospera Group's New York branch. Ever since they set up shop in New York, she's stolen several big projects right out from under me."

"You can't beat her?"

"Who says I can't? But the way she does business is just so underhanded!"

"What happened?" Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

"TMO just launched a new beauty face mask, and out of nowhere, her company, Prospera Group, paused their jade business and started selling face masks called 'The Seven White.' It's supposed to have some mysterious formula. I did some digging. Isabella consulted with this mystic doctor from Florida, a woman named Olivia Evans, who concocted this special recipe."

"The Seven White? Is the mask any good?" Daniel asked, his curiosity piqued.

"It's more than good—it's phenomenal! That 'The Seven White' mask works wonders the moment you put it on. I tried it myself and couldn't believe it—no side effects at all! It's definitely better than the masks we make at TMO."

"So my dear, are you upset because our own TMO masks aren't as good as Isabella's 'The Seven White'?" Daniel teased.

At those words, Jessica shot Daniel a look and asked with annoyance, "Do you really think I'm that petty?"

"Uh..."

Daniel hesitated for a moment before quickly shaking his head, "No! Not at all!"

"Are you hesitating?"

"No, I'm not!"

"Yes, you are! You think I'm petty! Humph!"

Jessica pouted, throwing a mini tantrum.

After her huff, she playfully kicked Daniel with her high heel.

"Why'd you kick me?"

"For fun. Got a problem with that?"

"I... wouldn't dare!"

"Humph!"

Jessica huffed again, then smugly added, "That's more like it! If you ever dare to complain, I'll kick you to the moon!"

"You used to be so sweet, what made you turn into such a hot-head all of a sudden?"

"Idiot, are you calling me a hot-head?"

Jessica placed her hands on her hips and glared fiercely, "So what if I am? You got a problem with that?"

"Not at all!"

Daniel quickly backed down and changed the subject, "That 'The Seven White' mask, do you have it here?"

"Why? You want to try it?"

"I want to see it! And I'd also like to compare it with TMO's mask."

"Alright, let's take a look and see how they stack up."
