Arabel liked Carl. She used to think that he was not good enough for Jessica, because he seemed to have a lot of dates before. However, Carl had become more mature these years.
Since Carl and Jessica grew up together, Arabel would love to see them getting together.
There were many rumors about Carl in the past few years, and Arabel couldn't help but hold a prejudice against him.
But she had known Carl since he was a child, and knew Carl was a good man and had been nice to Jessica since they were kids. If they got together, Jessica would live a happy life.
"Yeah, I just couldn't figure it out." Nicole also sighed.
Then she leaned to Arabel mysteriously. "Carl has been single for a few years. And he didn't go out for blind dates anymore. I heard there are many gays in the entertainment industry. Could it be that Carl is...?"
Arabel was stunned for a moment before she realized what Nicole meant. "No way. Carl becomes more mature these years. That's why he stops seeing girls. And he has a thriving career. Young people have their own plans. Don't think too much."
"But I thought Carl might be gay." Nicole thought of this possibility and had a complicated feeling.
Jessica came over and was about to toast Nicole, but she couldn't help overhearing what they said.
She stood there and thought for a few seconds. Then she decided not to go over.
What if they asked her about Carl's private life? She couldn't tell them that Carl had been pursuing her all these years.
She was determined that she must think of a perfect way to make Carl give up on her.
As Jessica thought about it, she turned around and almost bumped into Carl, who was standing behind her.
Jessica was shocked. "What are you doing here?"
Carl held a glass of champagne and smiled as he said slowly, "Watch you eavesdropping on their conversation."
