There were only Jessica and Carl in the large conference room.
Carl sat upright at his desk, staring at Jessica sitting opposite, without saying a word.
Jessica felt her eyes became dry. She blinked her eyes, flexed her neck and said, "Mr. Carl, did you ask me here to play a game with you?"
Carl changed his sitting position, but he was still staring at Jessica.
"You..."
He seemed to have pondered for a long time, but he hesitated because he didn't know what to
say.
Jessica chuckled. "Mr. Carl, why are you hesitant to answer my question?"
Carl felt irritated when he heard Jessica calling him "Mr. Carl". He took a deep breath as if he had made up his mind. "Is this the reason why you refuse me?"
"What?" Jessica was stunned for a moment.
She had intended to have a fight with Carl today, because Carl cancelled her announcement once again.
However, Carl didn't said anything. Even when he finally did, he asked a question that Jessica found confusing.
Carl felt somewhat embarrassed. He turned his head to the side and reminded Jessica, "Sophia."
He had thought of many reasons why Jessica rejected him, but that she did not like men was never on his list...
Even though he felt ridiculous when he saw it online, he decided to ask Jessica about the truth in person; otherwise, he would be seriously troubled by this matter.
Jessica was stunned, thinking that she had
misheard.
She looked at Carl in astonishment. "You..."
Carl coughed, trying to hide his embarrassment. He quickly said, "I... I was just asking. I'm sure you are not..."
