Chapter 594 A Woman's Ambition



"What's the business about?" Daniel's curiosity piqued.

"The Perkins Organization! Our TMO wants to establish a cooperative relationship with The Perkins Organization and enter into a strategic partnership. If we can secure a deal with The Perkins Organization, TMO can expand into Washington and establish a base here," Jessica explained, her face bright with anticipation. It was clear she was an ambitious woman, unsatisfied with TMO operating solely in New York.

"The Perkins Organization is that powerful? Wyatt wants to work with them, and you too?" Daniel asked.

"Of course, they're the number one group in the USA, the first financial dynasty!" Jessica exclaimed.

"Isn't The Perkins Organization owned by the Perkins? Why don't you approach Down? He's the heir of the Perkins and has taken an interest in you. If you turn on the charm, he would definitely hand over The Perkins Organization's business."

Before Daniel could finish, Jessica pinched him hard.

"Idiot, what are you insinuating?" she snapped.

"Ouch! Ouch!" Daniel cried out once again, in exaggerated pain.

"I'm wrong, honey! All wrong! I won't say it again, I promise!" he quickly amended.

"Next time, think before you speak," she scolded, then slapped him rather playfully.

"Ow! Did you just slap me, honey?"

"And what if I did?"

"But... you can't smack my butt!"

"Why not? Should I make it swell? Believe that I can?"

And with that another resounding slap echoed Jessica found she enjoyed the slaps a bit too much, unaware that every smack transferred some of Daniel's Genki into her, making her feel unusually good afterward.

After two slaps, Jessica's whole demeanor brightened, and her beautiful face beamed with joy. The Genki had that effect on her. "So, idiot, what do you want to eat?" she asked, still smiling.

"You!" Daniel replied with a grin.

"Get lost! You pervert," she scoffed, rolling her eyes. "There aren't many good places to eat in Washington, but Beauty took me to one that wasn't too bad last time. Shall we go there?"

"What if I say I don't want to go?"

"Not an option!"

Pretending to value Daniel's opinion, Jessica hauled him off when he declined, heading to a nearby restaurant anyway. Surrounded by bars, the restaurant was quite unassuming, a typical diner, but the food was good, drawing a crowd.

After they were seated, Jessica handed the menu to Daniel, "What do you want to eat?"

"Lobster, grilled oysters..." Daniel managed to order just two items before Jessica snatched the menu away from him.

"Are you really ordering when asked? Don't you know the appropriate answer in this situation is 'whatever my wife orders, I'll eat'? You just don't get it!" scolded Jessica.

Daniel remained silent at the remark.

"Waiter, one lobster and a dozen grilled oysters, please," Jessica ordered. Then, she turned to Daniel, "Anything else?"

"Whatever you order, honey," Daniel recited the right answer this time.
