Clara chortled as her excitement grew.
"Mom!" Suddenly, a man appeared.
Larry, who was watching them from afar, was furious when he saw the new arrival.
Clara grabbed onto the man's hand. "Joan, this is my son."
"Hello, I'm Johann." He held out his hand in greeting.
"Hello, I'm Joan."
Clara let out a chuckle at their reserved demeanor. She would very much be happy if Joan could be her daughter-in-law.
"Mom, let's go home before the food gets cold." "All right, until next time, Joan." Then the mother-son duo left.
Joan's lips curled into a contented smile as she watched them walked out the door. Such a filial son.Bang! Furious, Larry hit the steering wheel hard. He hated to see another guy around her.
He started the engine and sped back to the company.
Bang!
The door burst open with such force that Jessica jumped. Larry stormed in, blinded by fury. She walked toward him and tried to read his expression.
What's going on? Didn't he meet Joan? What's with that gloomy face? Did they fight? Argh, I better get out of here.
Jessica spun around to leave.
"Stop right there!" Larry yelled.
