Carson hung up the phone and immediately dialed Jonathan. "Jonah, are you at the office?"
Jonathan had just finished a meeting. "What's up?"
"I've always felt guilty about you getting hurt because of me. Let's have dinner together tonight, my treat." Carson sounded sincere.
"No need!" Jonathan responded casually. "We don't need that between us."
Carson chuckled softly. "I'll invite Estelle as well. My fiancée has been wanting to thank Estelle personally, so we can all have dinner together."
Jonathan's pen paused in his hand. After a moment, he said, "I’ll see you tonight."
"Alright, I'll give you a call tonight!"
"Sure!"
Jonathan hung up and called his secretary. "You'll be attending the banquet tonight, I have something to do."
Chuck responded, "Alright!"
Jonathan put down the phone, pushed back his chair, and slowly walked to the window. He gazed into the distance, a hint of helplessness in his eyes which gradually turned into frustration.
......
In the afternoon, Estelle received a call from Marina, who wanted to thank her for saving her life.
Estelle dismissed it with a light laugh. "You really don't need to thank me. Everyone in that room was in danger, I was just looking out for myself."
Marina replied softly, "But I was in the most danger. I must treat you to a meal. This is also Carson's idea. It's just a meal. Let's make friends, okay?"
Estelle laughed. "Alright, where should we meet?"
Marina said, "Estelle, thank you for coming!"
"Oh, please don't mention it." Estelle smiled.
Marina reached her hand and led Estelle to a seat. "Carson told me you're a designer at Snowy Studios. You're really amazing!"
Listening to the woman's affectionate address, Carson sneered inwardly. Ever since Cicely's incident, they hadn't seen each other. She wouldn't even look at him a moment ago, but as soon as Estelle arrived, she suddenly became soft and gentle.
Were all these women such drama queens?
As Estelle and Marina were talking, the door suddenly opened and a tall figure walked in.
Estelle turned her head and was slightly surprised. She didn't know that Carson had also invited Jonathan.
Jonathan was also staring at her. He turned to Carson and said, "I'm late!"

Dear author Lucy, may we please have updates. Thank you....
There's a song currently playing via YouTube and TikToc by LowDii "Touch Me Softly" that makes me think of Norah and Xavier (Gonzalez). Please, I'm looking forward to updates. Thank you for your writing....
May we please have updates. Thank you....
As the plot thicken. Adrian is done for and he can't try to control Norah, so he'd probably tattle to Janice who's gone for two weeks. Thank you soooo much for the updates....
These updates were too funny. Thank you so much for the updates....
I forgot to add Amy to the group of pregnant women,since she was the first. Emily and Sylvia better be careful since pregnancy is in the air....
Wow! This is great, both Estelle and Magdalen are pregnant at the same time and I hope that Xavier is Norah neighbor. Thank you for the updates....
