Chapter 278 Mikayla spun around. She had no idea when Jerapproached her.

His arm loomed over her as he pointed at the screen, identifying the contract loopholes for her. He was merely inches away from her nose. Naturally, his cedar scent that was mixed with a faint alcoholic aroma wafted through her nose.

“Why are you looking at me? Look at the contract.” Jerdirected her head back at the screen.

assertive demeanor had her pouting her lips. Still, she didn’t object and read through the contract again.

Comprehension dawned on her once she picked up on the issues Jerdetected. It wasn’t easy to spot the loopholes, but he managed to do so with a single glance.

Amazed by his capability, she now understood how he excelled at managing Miller Group.

Mikayla circled a few issues and amended them meticulously under Jerome's guidance. Then, she sent it over to Stephen.

She stretched herself once she was all done. That was when fatigue finally struck her.

She'd been under the weather, and she was busy throughout the entire day. Taking a shower and sleeping were the only things on her mind now.

Jerome, however, was planted next to her at the moment. His eyes were still hooded as he stared at her with an indiscernible expression.

“I thought you didn’t bother much with your family busEss. You didn’t even wantto help you out. When did you becso attentive?” Unfazed, Mikayla answered, “I didn’t want you to get involved because | don’t want to rely on you. Also, it’s only natural forto care about the business. It’s my family’s business, after all.” A pang of uneasiness shot through Jeronce he spotted her indifference. Pressing his lips together, he remained silent and lay down.

Mikayla ignored him and took a set of pajamas out of the wardrobe. She headed toward the bathroom.

The traces on her body faded after a day. Still, swere stubborn on the spots Jerwas harsher on.

She cursed under her breath and strode out of the bathroom in her pajamas.

Jerhad already fallen into a deep slumber. He wasn’t covered in a blanket, and he didn’t even take off his shoes. He slept with his back propped against the bed frame, breathing steadily.

His cold and distant features, seemed to soften during his sleep. It made him look gentle. Light cast down on his perfectly sculpted features, making him appear particularly alluring.

Mikayla remembered what she did on their first and only night here. She scrambled up at midnight after feigning sleep and made her way to Jerome's bed. She couldn't help but peck a kiss on his cheek.

One could really stoop so low when they were blinded in love.

Mikayla let out a self-deprecating chuckle. She took a blanket and fell asleep on the couch.Exhausted she didn't suffer from insomnia and fel asleep in a heartbeat. She felt something warm and damp against her cheek amidst her deep slumber. To no avail, she struggled to open her eyes. She spiraled into unconsciousness again.

It was already bright out when Mikayla woke up the next day. She took her phone over and realized that it was already 9:00 am.

Stephen replied to her, saying that he’d get his secretary to amend the contract. He also expressed his gratitude for Jerome.

Worried that Stephen might not heed her suggestion, she specifically mentioned to him that Jerome helped to read through the contract and assisted in the amends.

Her tactics worked. She presumed the other party wouldn't sign the contract once they saw the improvised contract .She made a mental note to thank Jeronce everything was settled. She was searching for Jerdownstairs after she freshened up in the bathroom. They had agreed to continue with the divorce proceedings today at the courthouse.
