Chapter 2990
"I've been exhausted lately.There's just too much on my plate."
Jessica lay on the couch after stretching.
Larry's heart ached as he gazed at Jessica's worn-out face, and he assumed that it was because he considered her family.
"Larry, how have you and Joan been lately? Are you guys back together? Don't worry too much about today's incident.Joan must have her own reason for doing that, so make sure you listen to her explanation first," advised Jessica softly.
She is still thinking about others even when she is dead tired.
"Go sleep.You have to wake up early tomorrow"
Just like that, they both shut their eyes, lying on separate couches.
Despite the next day being a weekend, some of the employees of Norton Corporation still proactively came to work.
Suddenly, a scream tore through the silent office.
"Who was that? What happened? It's still early in the morning"
Jessica muttered begrudgingly as she sat up and rubbed her eyes.
"Some employees came in for work" Larry answered immediately.
"Is that so?"
Wait, isn't that Larry's voice? Jessica sat up straight with eyes wide as a saucer, staring bewilderedly at Larry, who was lying on the couch opposite of hers.
I'm doomed! What should I do now?How am I going to explain myself if others found out? Jessica's heart was racing.
"Why are you panicking?"
Larry quizzed in a low voice as he smoothened his clothes.
How can I not panic?Larry has a girlfriend, and I have a boyfriend.
But now, both of us have slept in the same room.
No one will believe my explanation if the rumors spread.
"Larry, I'm just going to head out."
