She winked at him, signaling for him to remain quiet. Caspian immediately turned his head around silently.
"Can you really find her?" asked Larry anxiously.
Looking at the sorrow on his face, Jessica's heart ached terribly. She patted her chest and declared firmly, "Yes! Don't worry, Larry. I'll definitely find her!"
Larry immediately sat up straight. Having regained his usual composure, he grabbed his coat and marched out of the office.
Gazing at his back, Caspian was stunned. Is he fully recovered already? He stared at Jessica in disbelief and surprise. "You're not bad, huh?"
Jessica cast him a glance and raised her chin proudly. Then, she strode out of the office and chased after Larry.
Ever since Jessica promised Larry to look for Joan, he started working so frantically that it was as if he had taken drugs. He did not even take a single break.
Although Caspian and Jessica were pleased with his change in attitude, they were worried too.
"What do you plan to do?" Caspian asked Jessica as he stared at Larry from outside his office.
What else can I do? Just look for her! Jessica sighed softly. However, the prospects of Joan being alive is quite bleak.
"Im going to look for her by the sea," she said firmly. Since she had already promised Larry, she had to keep to her words. It did not matter whether the outcome was good or bad.
Caspian pulled Jessica into his arms and kissed her forehead gently. Looking glad, he said, "It's been hard on you."
Yeah, it really has been rough. For the past few days, she had been rushing around to settle Larry's affairs. Luckily, he had already resumed his usual composure at work.
Jake thought that Larry would keep wallowing in despair after Joan's death. Thinking that his plan to acquire Norton Corporation would succeed soon, he was surprised to find out that Larry had already started working frantically.
