Larry knew that only Joan herself could solve the issue she had with Jake. Pulling himself together, he continued working and typing away.
Staring at his nonchalant face, Jessica threw a fit. "Larry! Hurry and get Joan back now!"
What on earth is he thinking? His beloved woman left with another man. How can he still keep working?Bang!
Assertively, Jessica slammed her palm on Larry's desk.
"Stop it," came Larry's impassive reply. How can I not be anxious? I yearn to take Joan home more than anyone else. But I know her very well. Since she has made a decision, she'll never change her mind easily.
"I'll go if you don't!" Jessica turned around and marched out of the office.
"Jessica!" Larry chased after her at once.
Jessica hit the gas and sped all the way till her car pulled over in front of Jake's villa.
Knock! Knock! Knock! She pounded on the door.
Joan's heart was in her mouth the second she heard the sound. Is it someone sent by Larry? Glancing at the door, she appeared troubled.
"Miss, who are you looking for?" a housemaid asked politely after opening the door.
"Move!" Jessica shoved the maid away and stormed into the villa.
Looking around, she yelled, "Jake! Come out this
instant, you jerk! Give Joan back to me!"
It was only then the housemaid figured out that Jessica was up to no good.
"Miss, you're not welcome here. Please leave." With that, the housemaid scooped her up and flung her out the door.
When Larry arrived, Jessica was still on the ground, rubbing her aching butt.
