Chapter 7 I am Jealous

Out of the Lily Hotel, Jane looked around with a guilty conscience; she did not see any familiar person which was a relief. It’s funny to have dinner with your husband and worry about being seen by others. With a sigh, if she knew that Edwin Carter would be transformed into a new Chairman of an Innovation Technology Company, does she marry him so easily? At that time, Jane couldn’t give an answer to her own questions. After returning back to the office, she received a notification from the Department manager. It was to inform in charge and colleagues of the bidding project of Star Group of Companies to be well prepared to discuss this project with the Chairman in the afternoon. Star Enterprise is a game development company and a subsidiary of GU’s Group. GU’s Group is a well-known domestic enterprise, also one of the largest enterprises in China. A large number of companies want to work with it. It’s not easy to win from this large number of bidding companies. Bidding Project with Star Enterprise is the biggest project of this year for Innovative Science and Technology. And now Edwin Carter has taken the post of Chairman. It is justifiable to attach importance to the progress of this project, but it is a little uncomfortable for Jane. At noon, she was disturbed by Edwin Carter. And now she again has to work with him in the afternoon. She is afraid that her performance will get affected. Jane arrives at the conference room ahead of time with her colleagues. She has prepared all the information they need, but she was still nervous. "Jane..." Katelyn Max leaned close to her Jane’s ear and whispered, "Your ability to work is obvious to everyone. Don’t worry too much." Jane did not speak anything just smiled. Katelyn Max is also one of the members of the project team, but she is a sweet talkative girl, she doesn’t do much work. Jane handles most projects, Katelyn just assists her in doing things. Another male colleague, Wilson Paul, leaned close to Jane: "Jane, you lead us in this project, there cannot be any problem." It’s always good to be cautious anyway. Jane as the team leader of this project has the greatest responsibility and she always has more concerns toward things than others. And this project is the first one that Edwin Carter assigned Jane after taking the office. In addition, to make achievements in her work, she also wants to make a good impression on her husband. In her life with Edwin Carter, he must not give him any reason to look down upon her. "Chairman Edwin..." don’t know who said this. Everyone’s eyes immediately turned to the door of the conference room. She looked up and saw Edwin Carter walking in gracefully with his two assistants. During Lunch, Edwin was wearing very casual clothes. But now, he changed into a silver-grey suit, with a white shirt underneath and a blue-and-white striped tie, which made him look more charming. "Hello, Chairman Edwin!" Everyone stood up and greet Edwin Carter. "Sit down, everybody." Edwin Carter politely said a sentence, then sat on his seat, and signaled Luis George to start the meeting. Edwin Carter did not look at herself. She was relieved, and her abnormal heartbeat comes to a normal state. Looking at Edwin Carter’s behavior from yesterday and this morning, his clear public-private attitude is way more rigorous than her. Jane is the team leader of this project. So, she begins to introduce the details of the project preparation. Because she works hard and does everything by herself. In front of a group of senior executives, including the Chairman, she was not nervous at all. Not only she was not nervous, but even she also performed very well. In the end, Jane receives a big round of applause. As she bent down to thank everyone, she felt a glance of an eye falling on her. She looked up and saw Edwin Carter’s deep and elusive eyes. Realizing that Jane noticed him, Edwin Carter smiled at her, which was polite to impeccable politeness. Pure superior and subordinate politeness without any personal feelings. Jane also gives Edwin Carter a polite smile. She cannot lag behind him if she wants to keep public and private different. Because he is the new Chairman, Edwin Carter just gives cold expressions. It looks like a God of fire in the sky. Give people a sense of distance, but everyone is a little nervous. Fortunately, due to good preparation, Edwin Carter personally affirmed the work of the whole team, and the meeting was a success. At the end of the meeting, the members of the project team were so excited, they just forget that the executives are still her, everyone was chattering while they leave the meeting hall. Wilson Paul put his hand on Jane’s shoulder: "Jane, if we win the Star Enterprise project this time, it would be an extremely glorious thing." Jane was also very happy, she didn’t notice how close Wilson Paul was standing. She nodded her head, smiled and said: "As long as we all work together, there is nothing we can’t do." "Jane!" Suddenly behind her, she heard the cold voice of Edwin Carter, which made Jane’s body slightly stiff, she turned politely and said, "Chairman Edwin, are you looking for me?" "Jane, you are the team leader of the Star Enterprise Project. Chairman wants to take some details from you." It was not Edwin Carter who spoke, but Sienna Henry who was standing beside him. Sienna Henry working with Edwin Carter for many past years. Of course, she knows it very well what is going on in Edwin Carter’s mind at this time. The Chairman is looking for Jane to ask about the project. Other members of the team are also smart enough to understand the whole situation. They quickly find an excuse to slip away and leave Jane alone with Edwin Carter. Edwin Carter approached Jane: "Jane..." Jane, subconsciously, stepped back two steps and maintain distance between Edwin Carter: "Chairman Edwin, do you have something to say." Edwin Carter approached her again: "At this time I am only Edwin Carter, your husband." Jane stepped back again, he looked around and said, "Chairman Edwin, this is working time." Jane’s words make Edwin Carter frowned gently, but the eyes under the golden frame were still slightly angry. But he has very good self-control which made him not show his anger easily. After some time, he said with very solemn expressions, "Jane, I know you have nothing to do with that man but being your husband seeing him standing so intimately close to you would make me jealous." Jane never thought that Edwin Carter would say such a thing to her. For a while, her face was hot and red. Finally, she smiles and said: "Chairman Edwin relax, this kind of thing will not happen again." "Chairman Edwin?" His eyes under the golden frame were really angry. "Chairman Edwin you do your work. I’ll go down first." Jane did not know that he was angry. She turns around and left without saying anything. Edwin Carter saw him entering the elevator simply, and his cold eyes became colder. "Chairman Edwin, there are still several documents you need to look at." Sienna Henry gave him a timely reminder. Edwin Carter stepped into the office and utters a cold sentence: "You women, all are so strong?"
