Seeing how concerned she was for his wellbeing, Larry's heart warmed.
Meanwhile, Jake was greatly dissatisfied by this turn of events.
He threw a glass of water onto the ground, smashing it into pieces.
"Calm down, Mr. Wilson. Getting mad is useless anyway. Why don't you think of a solution instead?" Ted advised in a small voice.
The employees outside his office shuddered fearfully upon seeing the fierce look on his face.
Jake sighed and muttered, "What else can I do? Larry Norton is one lucky b*stard."
If that's not luck, I don't know what is. I mean,
Joan rarely goes out, but it just so happened that she accompanied him out today.
Heaving another sigh, he waved Ted out. "Leave me. I need to cool down alone."
Leaning against the sofa, Jake gazed out the windows with half-lidded eyes while pressing his lips together in dismay. One day, I'll take you down, Larry Norton. Just you wait. Yes, I lost to you relationship-wise, but career-wise,that may not be the case.
He slammed his fist into the wall, causing blood to trickle down his fingers.
Hence, the days went by. Larry was constantly updated about the preparations done by Jessica and Abelyn until the very last touch.
"Good job. You both did well." Scanning the scene before him, Larry nodded with
satisfaction.
Well, duh! Take a look at who you're talking to!
Jessica dusted her hands and stretched her limbs, looking slightly worse for wear. It wasn't all that surprising, seeing as she had been slaving away in the past few days, making sure that everything was perfect.
"Larry, when are you planning to propose?" she asked.
