"I know Jessica had always been fond of you, and that is why she always look you up at Norton Corporation. But what happened between the two of you in the office that day... I am really devastated, Larry."
Finally, Larry realized what he was talking about.
This jerk misread the situation again! Larry closed his eyes and took a deep breath to calm himself.
"First of all, Caspian, I see Jessica as a sister and she regards me as a brother. Due to some unforeseen circumstances, we had to sleep in the office that night. Nothing happened between us, and Jessica can vouch for that as well. We did not do anything scandalous behind your back. Moreover, I will never betray Joan."
Larry left Caspian with no room for doubt.
Caspian could see Larry spoke with sincerity, and he instantly felt remorseful.
Yes, he had always been righteous and would never resort to such dirty moves.Maybe I read too much into it...
Caspian bowed his head in embarrassment.
But that colleague said...
He was not totally convinced
It was as if Larry could read his mind, for he added, "The staff that stayed late in the office that day saw Jessica and I lay on the sofa in the office and made a big fuss over it. If you don't believe me, you can go back to her and asked her if she saw me doing anything to Jessica."
"No! I believe you, Larry! I was blinded by jealousy and could not think straight," Caspian
answered.
Yes, you did not think straight.As a result, you drank yourself silly and got into this messlThis is going to be a bloody troublesome mess.
Larry looked at Caspian with sympathy. He knew his buddy was a man who could be depended on, so he would not run away from his trouble. Unfortunately, Jessica would be the one to get hurt, as he took responsibility for what he did to the other woman.
"Are you sure that you had sex with that young woman? Could it be a set-up?" Larry cautiously tried to jog his memory.
