Chapter 141
Jackson ignored everyone’s expressions and raised his chin at the senior executive explaining the
PowerPoint. “Continue.”
The executive had no choice but to continue. However, I noticed that he skipped over one of the
income slides. Instead of giving all of the figures, he gave more general percentages. I’m sure he was
afraid I would share the information.
It was clear that the Sterling pack execs weren’t pleased with my presence in the meeting, so I sat still
and quiet during the duration of the presentation.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWhen the meeting ended, I ran out and asked Jackson, “Why do you want me to listen?”
Jackson looked down at me, who was a head shorter than him, and replied in a gentle voice, “When
you were sitting outside the room, you looked interested, so I decided to let you listen.”
I wasn’t prepared for that answer.
“Aren’t you afraid I’ll take the information elsewhere?”
“They are all unimportant numbers that anyone could find in a public earnings report, and…” Jackson
paused for a moment, then smiled. “I believe in you.”
His smile was no different from before…before everything. It
was genuine, and it had the power to brighten a room. It was as if he was still Silas, not Jackson, the
man who had broken my artificial heart with two strong kicks.
“Ms. Palmer, you’ll need to go get ready. I’m going to a banquet tonight.” I came back to my senses. “A
banquet?”
Jackson nodded. “The Wilton pack is holding a banquet. I need a female companion, and I’d like you to
attend with me.”
Was it a personal assistant’s duty to be a temporary female companion? And would it be appropriate
for Jackson to take a non-shifter with him?
The Wilton pack was not particularly prominent or powerful, and I wasn’t sure why Jackson would feel
the need to attend. The Wiltons were wealthy, but that was about it.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAnd that wasn’t really saying anything. Most wolf shifter packs were wealthy if they weren’t a newer
pack. Longer life spans equaled more time to build wealth to then pass on to the next Alpha.
This wasn’t my concern, though. My concern was doing what Jackson wanted me to do so I could get
this whole thing over
with.
Jackson would return to Wolverly Capital as soon as the bidding was over. It was only a few days. I had
to endure it for a while,
and then everything would be over.
“Alpha Sterling, I would love to attend with you. Unfortunately, I don’t have anything suitable to wear to
a formal banquet.”
Maybe, if I was extremely lucky, he might let me off the hook…
“That’s of no importance. I’ll have my schedule cleared and we can go shopping right now.”
