Chapter 2990

"I've been exhausted lately.There's just too much on my plate.”

Jessica lay on the couch after stretching.

Larry's heart ached as he gazed at Jessica's worn-out face, and he assumed that it was because heconsidered her family.

“Larry, how have you and Joan been lately? Are you guys back together? Don't worry too muchabout today’s incident.Joan must have her own reason for doing that, so make sure you listen to herexplanation first," advised Jessica softly.

She is still thinking about others even when she is dead tired.

"Go sleep.You have to wake up early tomorrow"

Just like that, they both shut their eyes, lying on separate couches.

Despite the next day being a weekend, some of the employees of Norton Corporation stillproactively came to work.

Suddenly, a scream tore through the silent office.

"Who was that? What happened? It's still early in the morning”

Jessica muttered begrudgingly as she sat up and rubbed her eyes

"Some employees came in for work" Larry answered immediately.

"Is that so?"

Wait, isn't that Larry's voice? Jessica sat up straight with eyes wide as a saucer, staring bewilderedlyat Larry, who was lying on the couch opposite of hers.

I'm doomed! What should I do now?How am I going to explain myself if others found out? Jessica'sheart was racing.

"Why are you panicking?”

Larry quizzed in a low voice as he smoothened his clothes.

How can I not panic?Larry has a girlfriend, and I have a boyfriend.

But now, both of us have slept in the same room.

No one will believe my explanation if the rumors spread.

"Larry, I'm just going to head out."

Jessica dashed out of the room after grabbing her purse.

The female employee who screamed was stunned as she saw Jessica running away.

Why is she leaving so urgently?! wasn't planning to do anything to her.

Larry massaged his temples in an attempt to wake himself up, then took a seat behind his table andstarted working.

Outside his office, the female employee was hitting herself on the head in an attempt to calmherself while muttering, "It must have been my imagination.Ilt must have been my imagination...”She tried convincing herself but to no avail.

Nevertheless, Larry was immersed in his work, not noticing anything wrong.

Anxiety was all over Jessica's face as she breathed heavily after the mad dash from the office."What happened? Why are you in such a hurry?" a familiar voice asked.

Jessica jumped in shock, and when she turned around to see Caspian walking toward her, she gavehim an awkward smile.

"Isn't today a weekend? Why are you here?" she asked embarrassedly.

What happened to her?Why is her face so flushed?Is she having a fever? Caspian placed his hand onher forehead to feel for any fever.

Nope, no fever.

"I have something to report to Larry.What happened to you?"

Caspian was worried as he studied her.

"I'm fine.There's something I have to deal with, so I'll be taking my leave.”

Jessica ran away as soon as she finished.

How strange.

Why is she in such a flurry today?Did Larry scold her again7it can't be.

She didn't do anything wrong lately, so there's no reason for Larry to scold her.

"Larry, what's wrong with Jessica?"

Caspian questioned as he entered Larry's office.

"Nothing happened; Larry replied nonchalantly, not noticing the displeasure on Caspian’s face."She seemed very anxious when I saw her a while ago.l thought she might have done somethingwrong” Caspian uttered as he cast a sideways glance at Larry.
