Carl held a pen in his hand and stared intently at Jessica on the screen.
Seeing that Jessica was staring at the screen of her phone as if she was looking at something, he frowned slightly. Then he saw Jessica's fingers started to move. It was obvious that she was sending messages.
Carl knew that Jessica was replying to Jayvion.
Jessica was replying to another man in front of him.
Carl narrowed his eyes slightly and raised his eyebrows, "Jessica, aren't you afraid that I will get angry that you are chatting with another man while you are having a video chat with me?"
Jessica looked up at him with a smile, "Then what should I do? I still have to meet Jayvion.
Aren't you going to die of anger?"
Carl cursed in his mind and forced a friendly smile, "It is enough to chat. There's no need to meet, is there?"
Jessica neither agreed nor refused, "Alright, go on with what you are doing. I gotta go."
"I have nothing to do now." If he hung up, Jessica would go chat with Jayvion again.
Jessica raised her chin and pointed at Kalyan, who was standing behind Carl, "Kalyan has always been standing behind you."
Kalyan stood right behind Carl with a large stack of documents in his hands.
Carl leisurely turned his head and glared at Kalyan, "These documents have been processed, haven't they?"
Kalyan answered, "Yes."
Jessica wanted to laugh, "Alright, I gotta go. Come to my house tonight. I have something to tell you."
"Okay." Carl turned around and the expression on his face changed instantly. He smiled brightly.
At night.
As soon as it was time to get off work, Carl carried his coat and was about to leave.
Kalyan came in from the outside and saw that Carl was about to leave. He thought about the schedule for this evening and said, "Mr. Carl, there are still ten minutes left before the meeting begins."
"What? I'm going home to meet my wife." Carl finished and then left.
Kalyan was lost for word.
Hearing the sound of the door closing, Kalyan recovered from the shock.
