Soon, Della started spilling the story in detail, I met them abroad...”
For years, it was the first time she talked so much to another woman. Sitting opposite her, Caspian was left dazed to see her being so talkative.
At the same time, he was confused that Della was not averse to Jessica.
One would be as confused as Caspian had they known that Della never made friends. On top of that, although the latter was a woman herself, she had always thought that women were troublesome.
After dinner, Caspian offered to drive Della home, but the latter rejected.
In the car, Jessica questioned harshly, “Caspian, be frank with me. Are you interested in that woman?”
“Nonsense! My heart is occupied by a woman whose name is Jessica Zimmer,” Caspian swore.
“Then why were you so friendly and welcoming to her just now?”
“I didn't. That's because you don't know her. Actually, she...” the man slowly explained the situation to her.
Hearing Caspian's words, Jessica asked sheepishly, “Did I cross the line just now?”
Now you know... You were harsh and rude just now!
Nevertheless, Caspian held her hand and consoled her, “What's done is done, so stop
thinking about it.”
Meanwhile, in the office.Larry was busy going through the documents.
After parting ways with Caspian and Jessica, Della didn't go back to the hotel. She went to the Norton Corporation instead.
She pushed open the office door and asked, “You haven't left?”
“Mm,” Larry uttered a response without recognizing it was Delia's voice.
“When are you going home?” the woman continued asking.
“I'm not sure,” was his curt reply.
At this point, Larry looked up when he had finally recognized it was Della.
“Why are you here?” he asked.
