20 Chapter 20 Wearing the Green Hat
Julia Land nudged James Thompson.
James Thompson also conveniently let
o conveniently let go of her.
She meant to get angry.
But upon seeing her lipstick on his thin lips, like a seductive man, “…What are you trying to say? Trying to steal your great–nephew’s woman?”
Her phrasing was somewhat sarcastic.
James Thompson sat on the couch, a slight chuckle spilling out; his white bathrobe slightly undone, revealing a rather sexy chest.
He said, “You want to stay here, isn’t that what you’re hinting at? Trying to seduce me so your great–nephew wears a green hat? What did he just say when he called? Did it upset you?”
Julia Land, “…”
Why was this man so clever?
Indeed, there was a moment when Julia Land thought of getting back at Noah Quarter.
Sometimes women are a bit petty.
She summed up her many thoughts into one sentence, “It’s not just me making him wear the green hat; he made me wear one too. We’re just giving each other green hats, that’s what’s called fairness.”
She might have been pushed to her rebellious core by Noah Quarter and his ilk during this time.
Her audacity had grown considerably.
From a mouse’s courage to the gall of an unruly bear.
Perhaps all bottled up with anger.
James Thompson was left speechless by her talk of green hats.
And he was somewhat unfazed by her.
“Wait
“Wait here.”
He made a call for someone to immediately buy a green hat to bring over, “Hold on, change that to ten green hats”
Julia Land, “?”
Ten minutes later.
The hotel’s chubby general manager, panting heavily, obsequiously delivered ten green hats.
Julia Land was pinned to the couch by James Thompson.
He pressed on her head, fitting a green hat onto it.

every day from now on.
Julia Land, “…”
Goddamn good–looking.
With a cool smile, she lifted her noble, pale neck, “Possibly because I’m naturally beautiful.”
James Thompson chuckled deeply, “Right, you’re naturally beautiful.”
“Julia Land, do you want to be with me?” James Thompson asked her straight out.
It caught Julia Land off guard.
Serious, the man said, “If you’re with me, you’ll be Noah Quarter’s senior. You can hold your head high, plus, I’m very honest.”
It was indeed an attractive proposition.
Julia Land turned her head to look at him, not overjoyed or naive, “You’re honest?”
James Thompson nodded.
Forget it, Julia Land wouldn’t crush James Thompson’s own belief that he was honest.
She said, “First, this will be my second marriage; I feel a bit inferior.”
“Second, you’re Noah Quarter’s senior; isn’t it laughable for a senior to be with the same woman as his junior?”
“Lastly, my heart can’t fall in love with anyone right now.”
After finishing her words, she took off the green hat on her head, toyed with it while showcasing a flirtatious and passionate smile, “From today onwards, Julia Land will seek men only to fulfill her physical needs, and with my annual salary of a million, I can even keep a toyboy when I’m bored!”
James Thompson was utterly stunned by Julia Land’s powerful declaration, and his clever mind. crashed.
“Seeking men just for physical needs?” he repeated with a smirk.
Julia Land nodded firmly, “Right.”
“Annual salary of a million, keeping a toyboy when bored?” James Thompson repeated the following line.
Julia Land pursed her lips shyly and nodded, “Right.”
*Julia Land, you’ve got guts!” James Thompson laughed unrestrainedly.
He scooped her up and carried her into the bedroom, his laugh sinister.
“Let me give you a taste of what a big bad wolf is like.”
The taste of a big bad wolf was somewhat frightening.

Julia Land eventually lost her energy; miraculously, she still remembered to remove her makeup
and take a bath.
James Thompson, with lipstick smeared all over his lips, carried her to wash his face and take a
bath.
The next day, when Julia Land woke up, there was only her in the bed.
This relieved her.
She saw a set of women’s long sleeves and a long skirt by the bed, along with inner clothing and pants.
After she dressed up and looked in the mirror, she found marks on her body that were simply unbearable to look at.
Julia Land walked out of the bedroom and saw James Thompson apparently in a video conference.
He looked up at her.
Julia Land pointed a finger at the door, indicating that she was leaving.
Unexpectedly, he spoke at that moment, “Remember to transfer the cost of raising that big wolf dog to me.”
Julia Land, …
The people at the other end of the conference suddenly heard the boss speak and stopped the meeting.
They didn’t show any confusion, just waited respectfully.
“Understood.”
They heard the woman’s soft, husky voice.
James Thompson then said, “There’s breakfast on the table, cat before you go.”
Julia Land nodded, and James Thompson continued with the meeting.
While his meeting wasn’t over yet, Julia Land quickly ate a few bites of breakfast and hurriedly left.
Her eager departure darkened James Thompson’s face.
It gave him a sense of déjà vu, as if after eating, she didn’t want to take responsibility.
At Quarter Group.
Julia Land had not been to work for many days; the accumulated tasks were too much, and she was running around busy all day today.
Noah Quarter’s brows, furrowed for several days, finally smoothed today.
A good secretary can make the boss’s work more effective.
This was why he had Julia Land come back to continue as a secretary.
14:41
20 Chapter 20 Wearing the Green Hat
He still recognized her work capability.
While Julia Land was busy running around.
Alexander Strong came to Julia Land’s desk with a grave expression, “Secretary Land, book six tickets to Grand City immediately, there’s been a fire at the factory there.”
“Okay” Julia Land booked the tickets and was also responsible for returning to Jade Gardens to pack their luggage and emergency medicine.
The fire at the factory this time was severe, not to mention the financial losses.
The death toll had already reached nine, with fifteen seriously injured.
James Thompson sent a message to Julia Land asking if she wanted to have dinner together at the moment she boarded the plane.
Julia Land replied, [I have to go on a business trip, can’t make it.]
For the following days, James Thompson didn’t receive any messages from Julia Land.
He saw her figure on the news channel.
Dressed in a formal shirt and suit trousers, she stood straight beside Noah Quarter.
A reporter pushed a microphone towards Noah Quarter, and Julia Land politely blocked the mics, “Thank you, everyone. Please, let us through, the interview has ended, thank you.”
James Thompson raised an eyebrow and sent a message to Julia Land.
[Do you still remember Mr. Thompson by Great Bright Lake?]
Julia Land was too busy to look at her messages.
Unaware that Mr. Thompson by Great Bright Lake was thinking of her.
These past few days, dealing with the families‘ troubles and handling the media had been utterly draining for her.
“Mr. Quarter, Mrs. Quarter, my daughter is so young, and now she’s lost her father. My health is poor, and if something happens to me, what will she do?”
Finally freeing themselves from the media and preparing to get into the car, there was a woman standing amidst the crowd, crying out.
The woman’s cries were piercingly tragic; unwell as she was, she fainted after a few shouts.
The crowd erupted in chaos.
Alexander Strong hurriedly called for an ambulance.
Noah Quarter lowered his voice and told Julia Land to get into the car first; he would handle the situation, as it was too chaotic here and accidents could easily happen.
Arabella Shaw watched the intimate scene on the screen of Noah Quarter whispering to Julia Land with red eyes, took a deep breath, and phoned her assistant, “Book me a ticket to Grand City for today.”
