'Joan, are you alright? Do you feel better now? Should I get a doctor over?"
"No, there's no need for that, Jake. I'll be fine after I've rested," replied Joan as she wiped the sweat off of her forehead.
Has she not fully recovered? Jake's gaze slowly turned less lively.
Ring! Ring!
"Hi, Mr. Wilson. Jessica and Abelyn have discovered your trick," reported Jake's assistant carefully.
Huh... so they're not total idiots. Jake massaged his neck and grinned amusingly.
"They have left and seem to be checking out different wedding studios. I'm not sure which studio they'd be heading to, though. It looks they have not decided which wedding studio to go to yet," added the assistant.
Where else would they go? They're definitely going to the more luxurious places! Jake narrowed his eyes a little as he looked out the window. He was secretly pleased.
Joan was sitting at the side and scrutinizing his expression to try to figure out what was going on. Unfortunately, Jake was too vigilant, and Joan couldn't read anything out of him.
Jake hung up soon after. He turned around, walked to the sofa and asked, "We've already finished shooting the wedding photos, so let's head home, okay?"
"Okay," replied Joan before she nodded. Still, she didn't understand why she was a little scared
when she saw how calm Jake looked.
On the other side of town, Jessica and Abelyn were running around and looking for Joan in different, luxurious wedding studios. The two ladies looked exhausted by then.
"Jessica, could it be that you made a mistake?
Maybe she hasn't returned to the country yet," said Abelyn as she panted with her hands on her waist.
Did I really make a mistake? Jessica suddenly started questioning herself.
