"What?"
Finally, Molly realized that "you guys" which Carl mentioned was about Jessica.
She gave him a meaningful look and said, "Everything goes well with Jessica recently, except to sign a
long-term cooperation contract with the Rowland Group."
Carl thought about Molly's words. Could it be possible that Jessica hadn't taken any actions since she
was fooled by Jayvion? Hadn't she figured it out?
If she remembered that Sivan had kidnapped her, her actions would be different.
"Keep an eye on her, please. Call me whenever something happens."
Carl drove off after said so.
"Again..." Molly muttered, "Jessica is a big girl and you asked me to keep an eye on her. What can I
do..."
Molly met Jessica on the way back after she bought herself a coffee.
"Jessica, where are you going?"
Although Carl's request was strange, Molly still did as was asked. After all, Carl always reminded her to
"pay back the money".
"I'm going to see a friend at a coffee shop where you bought your coffee. I'll be back soon." Jessica
explained.
Molly said, "Okay. Call me if you need any help."
She watched Jessica left.
She noticed that Jessica wasn't the same as usual. She was ... quite reticent.
Jessica walked into the coffee shop.
It was Jayvion who Jessica was going to see.
"Jessica."
When Jayvion saw Jessica coming over, he clenched his hands and looked nervous.
All Jayvion's childhood friends were doing pretty well, except him. He cheated Jessica. Any dignified
person who experienced that would hardly face him calmly.
The coffee shop was on a street that was next to the one Jessica's studio was located. It only took ten
minutes to be there.
Coffees in this shop were affordable and office workers loved buying coffee here. Because people were
at work, excluding Jessica and Jayvion, only several customers were here. There were a lot of takeout
orders.
"Jessica?"
When hearing Jayvion, Jessica realized that she was distracted.
She glanced at him and took a sip of the coffee in front of her.
She ordered an Americano.
Coffees were different in taste for each shop. Her Americano tasted sour and bitter.
Noticing that Jessica took her coffer without hesitation, Jayvion was slightly stunned, "You're having
Americano, aren't you? I remember that you didn't have it before."
"Yes."
Indeed, she used to think that the Americano was horrible and couldn't get used to it.
Now, she thought it was acceptable.
Jayvion summoned up the courage, "Jessica, it was my fault for things that happened before. I've
discussed it with my father. I'll file for bankruptcy if I have no choice. I'll take responsibility for what I've
done. I feel sorry for my father. That is his life's work..."
The Rowlands was magnificent before.
Jessica asked, "Can't you find any other solutions?"
"Filing for bankruptcy is the best one so far. Either the situation goes worse, or we have to invest more
money. The gap is too big to fill. Moreover, it's not just a matter of money..."
Jayvion was ashamed to continue.
Later, he raised his head and asked, "Do you hate me?"
Jessica looked at him and had no idea how to reply. Jayvion continued, "I'm very happy that you come
to see me. When I confessed to you earlier, I did hope that the Hicks will help the Rowlands out. After
making the decision, the first thing that came to my mind is to look forward to living with you."
"I know that I'm talking about nonsense. Now, everyone in this group avoids me as I'm evil... You're the
only one who comes to see me..."
