Jessica went to the restroom during the meal.
Before she went, she gave Molly a glance.
Molly instantly understood. Although she was guilty, she obediently followed Jessica to the restroom.
Jessica crossed her arms and leaned against the wall of the restroom.
She looked at Molly calmly and said, "Molly."
Molly whispered, "Jessica, there's nothing I can do. Kalyan pulled me to sit down. There's nothing I can do..."
"Find an excuse later. We'll leave early."
Of course Jessica knew Molly had a reason.
She didn't think too much of this kind of trivial matter.
"What excuse?" Molly did not understand.
Jessica said slowly, "Your stomach hurts, your head hurts, your legs hurt, or your heart hurts. You can think of a reason yourself."
"I see!" Molly said with a smile, "No problem."
"You go first." Jessica raised her chin and indicated Molly to leave first.
Jessica and Molly walked separately. After Molly left for a while, she also left the restroom.
As it was already midnight, there weren't many people in the hot pot restaurant, so the crew was sitting in the hall.
As soon as Jessica walked out of the restroom, she heard the crew chatting and laughing in the hall.
"Here is a seat, Miss Sivan, sit next to Mr. Carl."
"Miss Sivan, you must be worried about Mr. Carl, so you come here at midnight...."
"I was just worried that Carl would get drunk, so I drive over to pick him up."
Sivan's voice was soft and gentle, especially striking amidst the laughter.
