"What should I do?" cried Abelyn hysterically. "This hurts so bad!"
Joan did not quite understand what the dilemma was. Given how cheaters should not be forgiven, Abelyn naturally could not agree to patch things up with her ex. However, if she still loved the man, Abelyn was clearly a lost cause. Joan's gaze darkened as she thought of this.
"Abelyn, do you still love him?" queried Joan.
"Love him? What on earth do you even mean?"
"Oh, she definitely still has a thing for him," whispered Dustin in Joan's ear.
"What is up with that whispering again? Do you think that I can't see it just cause I'm drunk?"
Joan sighed audibly. "Since you don't love him anymore, then let it go."
After Abelyn heard these words, she burst into tears once more.
"No, I can't live without him. In fact, I still love him!"
Why is she being so wishy-washy? Joan frowned and massaged her aching temples. She was truly confounded by Abelyn's behavior.
The three continued to chat for quite some time before Abelyn finally fell asleep from exhaustion.
"Joan, I won't accompany you back. Not when Abelyn looks like this." Dustin pointed at the woman who had dozed off quite unceremoniously next to him.
"It's okay. I know she's in good hands." With that, Joan turned on her heel and left.
As it turned out, Abelyn's love life was quite a bitter ordeal. Joan sighed and absent-mindedly kicked at the pebbles on the pavement.
I guess there's nothing in the world that brings someone more torment than love.
It was quite late by the time Joan reached her residence. She decided to pull out a book and read for a bit before she too slept.
Larry was still at the office, but Joan was the only thing he could think of.
Where did you go? Why are you with Dustin? The more Larry thought about it, the more infuriated he got. He then pulled out a cigarette and lit it before taking a deep drag. Just then, Caspian walked in and greeted him loudly.
"What is it?" asked Larry in a low voice after he breathed out a puff of smoke.
With a look that matched the solemnity of his voice, Caspian said, "Someone has terminated all cooperation with us."
"Under whose orders?" asked Larry calmly.
"I don't know. I've not found anything yet."
"Continue investigating this." Larry walked towards the window and gazed at the hustle and bustle of the city, his expression icy.
He knew that this would happen one day. It was only a matter of time. Besides, who else could pull something like this off, if not Jake?
He was not surprised if Joan's trip abroad had something to do with him too.
Just then, the sound of Jessica's voice broke the silence.
Larry cursed. "Could you try to be more ladylike at least?"
"What's this about?" whined Jessica, who also pouted at him. "All I did was greet you, and you yelled at me!"
He tutted impatiently and looked at Jessica. "Well, what do you want?"
"Money," came Jessica's gleeful reply.
Larry turned around and looked at the brazen woman in front of him doubtfully. Had she already run out of money? Did you blow it all on stocks?
"What happened to your money?" asked Larry suspiciously.
"I've decided to invest it," replied Jessica solemnly.
"What did you invest in?"
"A bookstore. Didn't Caspian tell you? I opened a few more branches."
Ah, is that so?
Larry lowered his head and took a deep breath. It was not long before he managed to calm down. Things were stressful enough for him at the moment. His mind was occupied by either his work or by thoughts of Joan, and he rarely thought of anything else. Naturally, news of Jessica's actions would have slipped his mind.
"Alright. This is a loan. Don't forget to pay me back in the future." Larry then tossed a card at Jessica.
As expected, he is so generous! Jessica giddily kissed the card in her hands and playfully punched Larry in the shoulder.
"Don't worry. If you ever go bankrupt in the future, you'll still have my support!"
"Jessica!"
"It's just a joke, sheesh," whined Jessica. "Why are you taking this so seriously?"
