He must be Attractive

Jessica stated what Wanda's request and Hans reluctantly agreed. With several arrangements, they finally agreed.

"I'll try my best to help you."

"Then see you later, Hans." Thus Wanda left Group J.

Hans left Jessica's room without commenting further about Wanda's request. If Jessica herself was willing to comply then he shouldn't have a problem with it either.

"Did something happen? I didn't find any problems. All projects ran smoothly without the slightest flaw." Jonathan gave the report.

"Of course there's nothing wrong with our project. That woman just wants to make a fuss and trouble us." Hans couldn't hold back his cynical response. Especially when he remembered Wanda's request, he was helpless because the woman was on behalf of their business.

Hans even forgot about Thomas's return.

It's been a week since Jonathan joined Jessica and Hans's team. At least Jonathan has begun to understand his job, but so far he has never had the opportunity to stand next to Jessica. The place is still controlled by Hans.

Jonathan looked at the file he had just received, he had to hand it over to Jessica. When he entered the woman's room, his eyes were immediately treated to a view of Hans and Jessica, who were chatting. The problem is that their position makes Jonathan feel awkward.

Jessica sat in her oversized chair while Hans bent down beside Jessica. Hans looked like he was sticking the woman.

"What is wrong?" Hans was the first to notice Jonathan's presence there.

"I'm delivering the files from SM Construction."

"Just put it here." Jessica referred to the pile of files on her side.

That day several files came in waiting for approval, they filled Jessica's desk. If Jonathan is not one of the most urgent matters to be handled at that time regarding a new product that will be launched by one of the Group J entities.

Jessica distance herself from the folder in front of her. Stretching his fingers he glanced at Hans who was still faithful beside him. "Am I free tonight?"

All of Jessica's schedules are still held and controlled by Hans. So Jessica always had to confirm what she wanted to do to Hans.

"You have to attend Rossell's new product launch event tonight. The market response to their product will have an impact on our new product launch." Hans answered smoothly without looking at the agenda first as if Jessica's schedule had memorized it by heart.

Jessica sighed, "They're impatient. Isn't that launch planned for next month?"

"That was the original plan. I heard that some of their shareholders asked for acceleration for fear of losing the market."

"So they want to dominate the market? Why rush?" Jessica gave an exasperated voice. Trade problems like this are always interesting. People always want big sales. Market readiness factors, seasons, trends, tastes, and many other things affect sales.

Jessica just believes that all has its time. Even tardiness can still be saved. So Jessica is not afraid of market competition.

Jonathan saw that there was nothing he could follow there. Not daring to interfere with Hans and Jessica's affairs, the man chose to go home.

"Come with us tonight!" Jessica exclaimed just before Jonathan stepped outside.

Jonathan still didn't get the woman's point. So he just stood at his place.

"You want him to be there too?" Hans was always the quickest to react.

"Why not? I need to introduce him as my new secretary. Some of our colleagues will probably be there. So this is a pity to miss."

"Is such a thing necessary?" Hans expressed his objection.

"You'll find out later whether it's necessary or not."

Jessica looked Jonathan from head to toe. Getting a look like that made Jonathan a little uncomfortable. Yesterday a woman named Wanda looked at him like that, now he gets another one from Jessica.

"Do you have any other suits, besides black and white?"

"Um, I'm not sure," Jonathan looked awkward at the simple question. His dignity is threatened.

Okay, Jonathan can't be compared to Hans. The two men looked like heaven and earth.

Hans always looks amazing in custom designer suits in masculine neutral colors. Meanwhile, Jessica couldn't find Jonathan in any color other than white and black. It was tiring his eyes.

Hans has an influential family background and has had a good career in recent years. So his income is more than enough to support his appearance. Meanwhile, Jonathan has nothing but a certificate of graduation which he is fighting for.

Jonathan has to support his own life and he hopes a lot with his current position.

"Give Jonathan some proper outfits, I want him to look great tonight. He must be attractive."

"Attractive?" Hans glanced at Jonathan, he wanted to protest again because the word attractive didn't seem appropriate to be juxtaposed with Jonathan.

Whose attention should he attract?
