After Carl left, Victoria angrily opened the snack cabinet and grabbed her own snacks. She ate three packs in a row to calm down her speechless mood.
Glancing at the time, it was already dinner time, but Jack still hadn't returned.
Unable to resist, Victoria sent him a message, [Are you busy?]
He replied immediately, [What's up?]
Victoria lay on the sofa, propping her legs up and typing on her phone, [Nothing, just wanted to ask when you'll be back.]
There seemed to be a moment of surprise from the other side, [You care about me so much, Victoria?]
Victoria, "..."
Victoria playfully rolled her eyes and mischievously typed,
[Yes, yes, I care about our Jack. Working so late is too tiring, you know!]

[Hurry back for dinner, I'm starving!]
Victoria sent three messages in a row, waiting for his reply. But instead of a text, Jack called her the next second.
Victoria was stunned for a second, then hurriedly answered the call.
A low, magnetic voice with a faint electric current flowed into her ears, "You don't have to wait for me, if you're hungry, just eat."
Victoria also sat up from the sofa, hugging a pillow to her chest, "Eating alone is so boring, I just wanted to wait for you to come back and eat together."
After Victoria finished speaking, she suddenly realized that he said he hadn't finished his work yet.
Victoria quickly added, "Are you still busy? If so, you can focus on your work, don't mind me, I was just casually asking."
The man chuckled lightly, his voice seductive and teasing, "Not busy, I'll come back now."
"Really?" Victoria patted the pillow in her arms, her exquisite eyes sparkling like a spring stream. "Then I'll wait for you to come back and have dinner together."
Moore Corporation, conference room.
The high-level executives, who were in the middle of a meeting, saw the man at the head of the table pick up his phone to reply to a message and speculated that there must be something important that needed an immediate response.
Then they saw Jack specifically pause the meeting and make a phone call.
They became even more convinced that this must be something very important!
Under normal circumstances, Jack had never paused a meeting before.
If he paused the meeting now, it must be something important!
But the next second, they heard Jack say to the person on the phone, "You don't have to wait for me, if you're hungry, just eat."
The high-level executives, "???"
So it was about having a meal.
They thought it was something important.
But what was even more shocking was that the next second, they heard Jack say to the person on the phone, "Not busy, I'll come back now."
The high-level executives were dumbfounded.
And then they couldn't help but gossip.
The fact that a text message could make Jack leave in the middle of a company meeting meant that person must be extraordinary!
Only Jamal, who was the special assistant to the president, knew exactly who was on the other end of the phone call without having to ask.
There was only one person who could make Jack do this - Victoria.
...
It didn't take long for Jack to come back.
Victoria was surprised, "Why are you back so soon?"
He only took half the usual time for the journey.
The man loosened his tie, a playful smirk appearing at the corner of his lips, "What if I come back late and you starve? Besides..."
He stopped halfway through his sentence.
