Finding Out The Billionaire Chapter 75

Chapter 75 A Clown

She did not see the chairman’s face.

On the chairman’s face was a clown’s mask.

W-What the heck is this?

Is the chairman so ugly that he can’t show his face?

Heather was disconcerted.

“W-What are you doing?”

“There are some people I don’t wish to meet, so wearing a mask will be more appropriate. Alright. I still have work to do. Go home.” Alex waved dismissively, motioning for her to leave.

Does he not want to see me?

There was an inexplicable sorrow that grew in her.

You don’t want to see me, but you’re coming to my rescue every time I’m in despair.

“Okay. I’ll take my leave then, Chairman.” Heather turned around and took several steps before she turned back to him.

“Right. Director, I really want to buy you a meal. To thank you for your help.” Heather looked at Alex in anticipation. NôvelDrama.Org © content.

“No need. All you need to do is to manage Jennings Corporation well. Once it makes profits, I’ll give you 10 percent of its shares.” Alex motioned for her to leave again.

Feeling disappointed, Heather had no other option but to leave.

On the outside of the room, Jessica was waiting with equal anticipation. When she saw the upset look on Heather’s face, she frowned.

“Jessica, have you seen the chairman’s face before?” Heather asked with a smile after collecting herself.

“Huh?”

Feeling confused, Jessica nodded. “Yes. Why?”

“He must be handsome, right?” Heather continued asking.

“Yes. He’s only in his twenties. He’s young.” Jessica still did not know what Heather was trying to say.

“No wonder,” Heather scoffed at herself under her breath.

The chairman was young and handsome. No wonder he was not interested in her.

However, she was sure that the chairman was acting so indifferently toward her today because she had not divorced Alex.

Otherwise, he would not have mentioned Alex twice.

He must be afraid that my relationship status would affect his reputation.

Heather nodded to herself. Yes. That must be it.

Why else would he help me?

Although she had given birth to a child, she had maintained her figure. Her skin was as flawless as those girls who had just come to age.

Above all, she had the perfect face.

She was confident in her looks.

After coming to this conclusion, Heather tucked away all her disappointment and smiled. “I’ll buy you dinner tomorrow night. I’ll be leaving now.”

“We’ll see. I’m not sure if I’ll be busy or not.” Jessica shook her head, not understanding why Heather was suddenly in a good mood again.

The curiosity grew in her, and she re-entered Alex’s office.

When she entered, Alex was smoking on his chair. A clown’s mask was in his hands.

The look he had as he stared at the mask was full of self-deprecation.

I’m a f*cking clown.

This is what I look like.

“Mr. Jefferson…” Jessica softly called out.

With his eyes still fixed on the clown’s mask, Alex abruptly questioned, “Do you know how to sing Send In The Clowns?”

“Huh? Yes. I often sang it at home.” Jessica looked at Alex, baffled.

“Sing it for me,” Alex muttered.

“What? Now?” Jessica was taken aback by his words. Although Alex looked calm, she could sense that he was feeling down.

“Mm.” He nodded.

Jessica felt stumped and embarrassed.

However, Alex seemed to be waiting for her, and there was no one else in the office. She sucked in a breath and started singing.

“Just when I’d stopped opening doors, finally knowing the one that I wanted was yours. Making my entrance again with my usual flair. Sure of my lines. No one is there…”

Jessica’s tone was just right, and there was a hint of hoarseness in her voice. Despite singing it without instrumentals, she was almost comparable to the original singer.

As she sang, Alex became more and more depressed. Memories of his time with Heather flashed across his mind, and he looked as if he was upset and in pain.

All those times he had given his all, and all those time he had suffered in silence.

He had been trying his best to maintain the imperfect marriage.

Yet, in the end…
