Jessica picked up her phone and found it was Carl.
He should call her earlier or later instead of at the moment after Jayvion's call.
Jessica was annoyed. She answered the phone with unhappiness. "What's the matter?"
Carl probably didn't expect Jessica's tone to be like this. He was stunned for a moment before he said, "I might have to work overtime at the company tonight. So I can't have dinner with you. How about you having dinner with Molly?"
Being afraid that Jessica would get angry, Carl said his words gently in a coaxing way.
"You had never been so busy before I wanted to have dinner with you." Jessica sneered, "Alright. Just do your business."
Although she didn't have time to have dinner
with Carl, she still felt angry.
She didn't mind he replied to her late. But he called her late only to tell her he couldn't have dinner with her for the reason of work.
Since when did Carl love his work?
He didn't have dinner with her because of his work.
Who would believe it?
Jessica hung up the phone after she finished her words.
"What's wrong?" Molly asked carefully.
Jessica looked up at Molly and said, "Carl said that he had to work overtime, so he didn't have time to have dinner with me."
Her smile made Molly tremble. Molly unconsciously touched her arm and said, "No way. When did Carl love his work so much? He must be joking."
Jessica curled her lips without a smile.
Even Molly knew that Carl was not the kind of person who would refuse to have dinner with her because of his work.
He was deceiving her with such a clumsy excuse.
Jessica's phone shook.
