Chapter 102
The courtyard was empty The two of them spoke in a hearable voice. Lucas leaned aganst the camage and heard ther conversation
The two warvesses became more and more excited as they spoke.
Lucas stood there and his hand moved slightly
Lucas golden eyes darkened and he snuffed out the cigarette in his hand in the ashtray He stepped out of the carriage and walked drectly to the comdor
‘Someone’s there!
Heanng the footsteps, the two wartresses were startled. When they turned around and saw that it was Lucas, they Teh even more guilty They quickly pushed the cart to the side and left with their heads lowered
Lucas looked at the backs of the two and thought of what the two had said just now. He felt a sting in his heart
It was only now that Lucas remembered that when he sent Luna to the hospital the day before yesterday. Terry was carrying Jessica out of the hosprtal
Although Lucas only tossed a glance at Jessica, he could still recall the scene where Jessica leaned against Terry’s chest with her eyes closed, she looked so peaceful and Lucas had never seen Jessica like that before
Meanwhile, in the pavate room where Terry and Jessica were in
Jessica looked at the cuisines in front of her She had to admit that Terry was really considerate
Jessica hadn’t fully recovered from the cold and her appetite wasn’t good, either. She could only eat a little
Along the way, Terry didn’t ask what Jessica wanted to eat and directly brought her to the private chef club
The chef team here was said to be proficient in all kinds of cuisines around the world Jessica knew that the exotic dishes in front of her were very healthy
Terry took Jessica’s lack-of-appetrte into account
Jessica Suddenly understood why there were so many rumors about Terry’s girlfriends, but none of them came out lo speak ill of him
When Terry treated someone nicely, he was the sweetest guy in the whole world
“What are you thinking about Terry took the empty bowl over in front of her and added another bowl of soup
Jessica looked at Terry and smiled. ‘Do you treat all of your girlfriends so well?
Upon heanng her words, Terry’s eyes moved slightly, and his long and narrow eyes curved into a smile. “Do you mind if I do?
Jessica stirred the soup in the bowl
With that, Terry suddenly leaned over with one hand on the back of the chair behind Jessica, and the other on the fable in front of her. He half-crcled her and laughed playfully ‘Does that mean you now have a little interest in
me?’
Terry got closer, and the faint fragrance of woody perfume made Jessica hip
Jessica moved a little and slightly moved farther from Terry. ‘Im not that cunous.
Cunosity killed the car That was nght
With that, Jessica lowered her head and started to savor her meal.
Terry had long since gotten used to Jessica’s attitude. He smiled, but not heated at all. He picked up her spoon and scooped a spoonful of food for her. “It tastes good.”
“Thank you.”
Terry didn’t insist on asking. Jessica felt relieved, too. She tossed a glance at Terry while thanking him. However, the private room had a good ventilation system which brought over Terry’s woody perfume. The atmosphere was quite weird.
Terry was done with his lunch and was now leaning against the chair looking at Jessica. ‘I don’t have an ex.’
Hearing that, Jessica couldn’t help but look up at Terry and swallow the food in her mouth. She asked jokingly. “Is it because a sex partner doesn’t count as a girlfriend?”
Terry clicked his tongue and looked at Jessica as if he wanted to say something. After a while, he just smiled and said, “You’ll know sooner or later anyway.”
When Terry looked at Jessica like this, there was a hint of doting tenderness in his eyes, which made Jessica
somewhat at a loss.
Jessica could feel a throb in her heart. She put down the spoon in her hand, pulled out a piece of tissue, and lowered her head to wipe her mouth.
The private room was very quiet, but Jessica’s heart couldn’t calm down. After a while, Jessica put down the tissue in her hand. “I’m done.”
“I’ll send you back to the company.”
Jessica politely nodded her head and said, “Thank you.’
Terry looked at Jessica as if he was completely unaware of her sudden estrangement. He picked up the bag beside her. “Let’s go.”
Jessica glanced at her bag, but in the end, she did not speak.
Not long after the two of them left, Jessica realized that she hadn’t taken her phone, so Terry went back to fetch it.
Jessica walked out of the corridor and waited for Terry in the courtyard.
At that time, Jessica heard footsteps. She thought that it was Terry who had returned, so she turned around, only to
• find that it was Lucas.
It wasn’t Jessica’s day after all.
