Hearing Carl's affirmative answer, everyone in the room nodded and showed up a meaningful expression.
Jessica silently looked down and tried to move her chair to stay away from Carl.
However, how could Carl allow that? Carl quietly held her hand even harder.
Sitting beside Jessica, Molly noticed that Jessica looked a little weird. Then Molly tilted her head and saw their hands under the table.
Molly widened her eyes and pretended that nothing had happened, looking aside.
Molly sighed.
They were showing off their sweet love.
Molly wanted it, too.
Carl was in a good mood, so the meeting ended very quickly in harmony.
The colleagues who knew good news were also in a good mood.
After the meeting, only Jessica and few people stayed in the room.
Carl asked Jessica, "Are you hungry?"
Molly replied, "Yes."
Carl ignored her.
Jessica looked up, "I had some sandwiches that Molly bought. I'm not hungry for the time being."
Carl nodded and turned to Kalyan, "Get off work earlier."
Kalyan nodded and packed his things to leave.
"Carl, are you off work to have dinner now?"
Molly leaned over.
"Yes." Carl smiled and added, "But not with you."
Molly was speechless.
