After I Stopped Loving Him novel Chapter 701

Linda or Barbara?

Both of them had meetings in the morning, so they refused to drink. They didn’t want to risk messing up work the next day. Compared to them, Laura really wasn’t all that disciplined.

No wonder they were both such powerhouses, running their businesses like pros. Laura looked up to them, honestly. She had her own ambitions, but she just didn’t have that same relentless drive. She was too easily satisfied.

She was happy with the career she had now. The money she made in a year was more than most people could earn in their entire lives.

After lying in bed for a while, Laura finally dragged herself up. She peeked out of her room to check if the person who brought her home was still around. The minute she stepped out, she spotted Jesse mopping the floor.

He wasn’t in his usual suit. Today, he wore casual clothes, an apron, and gloves. He’d mop a bit, then pause to wipe down the tables, the sofa, and pretty much every other piece of furniture.

Laura froze in place, staring at him in disbelief.

Had Jesse been the one who brought her home last night? Or had he just shown up this morning? That didn’t make sense. He wouldn’t have been able to get in unless he’d brought her home and taken her key from her bag.

Maybe he sensed her staring, because Jesse turned around and caught her eye. He straightened up and smiled warmly at her. “You’re awake. How are you feeling?”

“What… what are you doing here?” Laura’s voice came out rough.

Jesse leaned the mop against the sofa, then headed to the kitchen. He poured her a glass of warm water and handed it over. “Here. Drink a little, it’ll help.”

“Barbara called me last night,” he explained. “She asked me to pick you up from Isabella’s place.”
