Twenty minutes later.
Jessica walked into the newly opened Chinese restaurant Carl had mentioned and headed straight for
the private room.
She opened the door and saw Carl sitting inside.
He sat still at the dining table, like a student who was studying hard.
Jessica raised her eyebrows and walked over expressionlessly.
Seeing her coming over, Carl hurriedly stood up and pulled up a chair. He smiled and said, "Come and
sit down."
Jessica glanced at him and sat down.
After sitting down, she stared at Carl.
Carl coughed guiltily and handed the menu to Jessica tentatively, "How about ... ordering some food?"
"It's professional for an actress to keep fit. That's what you told me. I've eaten." Jessica deliberately
used what Carl had said to stop this topic.
Carl Jones choked, "Then I'll order something..."
He looked down at the menu and ordered some dishes that Jessica liked. Then he handed the menu to
the waiter.
The waiter left. In the private room, there were only Jessica and Carl. It was so quiet that even a needle
could be heard.
Jessica looked at Carl, who looked frightened. She didn't know whether to laugh or to cry.
"Aren't you going to explain?"
"That..." Carl curled his fingers and said, "I was just passing by. Do you believe it?"
"Do you think I will believe it?" Jessica rolled her eyes at him. 'Does he think that I am an idiot?'
Carl was silent for a moment and said in a low voice, "Jayvion has a lot of tricks. I'm afraid that you will
be taken in ..."
Basically, he was worried about her.
He didn't want to sneak over.
Carl was uneasy in the company, so he simply followed her here.
After all, Jayvion had grown up with them. He and Jessica were friends. What if Jessica relented and
Jayvion thought that he had a chance?
At this moment, Carl was talking nonsense in a serious manner.
Jessica felt a mixture of exasperation and amusement, saying. "I have explained it to him clearly."
"I see." Carl was surprised and satisfied.
Then, he seemed to realize that he acted too happy, so he quickly restrained his expressions, "I knew
that you could handle this kind of things properly."
What a hypocrite.
That was not what he had said just now.
Jessica sighed, "If anything upsets you, just say it. Don't sneak around."
"I know. I definitely won't." That was not true.
Jessica was so perfect that many men would try to take her away from him.
...
Soon, the dishes were served.
Jessica was fond of Chinese food, and Carl had ordered her favorite food, so she couldn't help eating
some more.
After lunch, they were in a good mood.
However, to avoid being secretly photographed, Jessica and Carl decided to leave separately.
When they came here earlier, Jessica arrived after Carl.
"I go first."
Jessica waved to Carl and left.
Carl smiled as he watched Jessica leave. When she turned around, his smile faded.
Ten minutes later, Carl walked out.
Back in the car, Carl's phone rang.
He answered the phone. It was Kalyan. "Mr. Carl, everything is ready."
