"Remember this, Caspian, whoever gets serious, loses..." Larry continued his lecture, but Caspian could only absorb that much.
The latter was not a sophisticated person, so he never had an eye for detail. However, being meticulous was extremely important in the corporate world, as an inadvertent administrative or management error could destroy a company.
Scratching his head, Caspian faltered awkwardly, "Larry, all of these that you're saying..."
Knowing that Caspian did not fully understand what he had said, Larry ended the conversation with a straightforward statement, "Fine, forget it, as long as Jessica understands." Being a business-minded person, he assumed that Jessica would see where he was coming from,
but she was fast asleep at that moment.
"Who called me?" Half-awake, the person who was lying on the sofa extended her body into a stretch and let out a big yawn.
"Wake up, Jessica! Quick, Larry's got something to say to you," Caspian urged her while shaking her body.
Smack! Accidentally, her right palm landed squarely on Caspian's face.
Larry snickered at the sight of it.
Meanwhile, a displeased expression crept across Jake's face at the office. Ted tested the water by asking, "Mr. Wilson, should we take action?"
He paused before reminding Jake, "Jessica is still searching for Joan."
Hmm? That b*tch is interfering in this matter? Jake stood up slowly and walked to the windows to get a breath of fresh air in order to regulate his emotions.
"Don't act rashly until the situation calls for it. If Jessica is meddling in our affairs, take action then." His stern orders terrified Jake, who then left the office immediately.
I hope that you can cooperate with me, Joan; otherwise, I'll have to use force.
Clenching his fists, Jake's aura turned icy cold.
The next few days, Jessica parked herself at Larry's office. Instead of helping him out with work, she was actually supervising his every move.
She could not express her true intentions to
Larry, causing the latter to be very annoyed with her constant presence in the office.
