Molly was in her early twenties, and did not treat Jessica as an outsider. When Molly cried, she looked childish and cute.
Jessica found Molly very funny, and wanted to laugh every time she saw Molly.
When Molly was crying so sadly, it was quite improper for Jessica to laugh at her.
Jessica barely withheld her laugh and took a tissue paper to wipe Molly's tears.
"Come on, stop crying. I'll cover your living expenses. Now that I'm staying with you, you can eat with me. But don't be fussy about food."
"Really?" Molly immediately stopped crying.
Seeing that, Jessica blinked her eyes and asked, "Are you really crying or just pretending?"
Molly almost cried her eyes out just now. After Jessica said she would pay for her living
expenses, Molly stopped crying in no time.
She was indeed a masterful actor.
"Jessica, please live up to your promise. I'll rely on you from now on. You're my great benefactor."
Jessica was speechless.
Carl said he would return the resources he had stolen to Jessica and keep his promise.
Jessica quickly went back to work.
After she returned, there was more work waiting for her, and business invitations and scripts flooded in.
Molly handled everything for her.
The Joneses were really capable at work. Normally, Molly looked as unreliable as Carl, but she was good at handling things.
Not two weeks after the New Year, Jessica had attended dozens of events.
Halfway through her words, she saw Carl holding the key in front of her. Pausing for a moment, she snatched the key over and said, "Thanks."
Jessica took the key and intended to drive back to Molly's apartment.
Looking through the rearview mirror, she noticed Carl didn't move.
The lights were dim, and she could not see Carl's expression clearly. But she could somehow feel that he was a bit strange.
After hesitating for a moment, Jessica started
the car, turned it around and headed to Carl.
She wanted to come back and ask him what was going on. When she was about to open the door and look for Carl, she saw a car stop in front of him.
Sivan opened the door and got off. She grabbed Carl's arm and said something.
Then Carl got into the car and left with her.
