Chapter 3020
Caspian finally heaved a sigh of relief as he watched her leave.
Sadness rose in Larry's chest when he saw the former's panicked look.You shouldn't have done it in the first place.He shook his head and sighed before walking into the bookstore.
Caspian hesitated for a moment but decided not to enter and left.He was too embarrassed to face Jessica now.
"Hey, how have you been doing? Are you doing alright?" Larry asked softly while studying his surroundings.
"What? Don't you believe in me? Don't worry. I'm doing great. Who knows, I might even be able to do something bigger!" Jessica said as she walked over to him.
Oh? She's getting more and more ambitious! He then patted her shoulder.
He was relieved, but sadness flashed across his face for a second.
What's that saying again? Once bitten, twice shy? Caspian hurt her so she must have been traumatized, right? He was worried for her.
"What do you plan to do next, Jessica?" he asked.
Plans? What else can I do? I've completely let go of my love affair now.
All I want to do is focus on my career and achieve groundbreaking success with it.
"I want to open up a few chain stores" she smiled and answered awkwardly.
She knew that she didn't actually want that.
Larry stared at her but said nothing.
Oh, forget it.I should just let her do what she wants.
These things still need to depend on fate anyway.
They can't stop it if fate does its job.
"Alright, you should head back now.If Joan knows that you're here again, she's going to get jealous" Jessica said as she pushed him, trying to get him to leave.
"Who said that I would be jealous? I already know that Larry's going to be here" Joan said with a smile as she walked over.
"Don't worry.I wouldn't think much about it even if the both of you slept in the same bed," she added deliberately.
