Molly meant to go against Sivan. She flipped the menu in her hand and said, "Really? Did I order too many dishes?"
Then she continued, "I don't think so. There're barely enough for us."
"Really? you should pay for them yourself!" Sivan couldn't stand it anymore. Molly was just an agent who worked for Tip Top Media. Why was she so tyrannical?
"No problem. If you can't afford it, then don't tell us you treat us to dinner. Why didn't you just be honest with us in the first place? I could have taken you to a better restaurant." Molly's smile looked so sincere.
"I can't afford it?" What Sivan hated the most was being looked down upon.
Carl, who had been silent all this while, called in a warning tone, "Molly."
Molly snorted as she closed the menu and tossed it to Sivan. 'Tve ordered for myself. You can order yours now."
Sivan looked at Molly, as if she wanted to tear her into pieces.
Carl whispered softly to her, "Don't be angry, for the sake of the baby."
Hearing him mention her child, Sivan panicked and quickly suppressed her anger.
That was right.
She was carrying a baby. She couldn't be so angry. It was not good for the baby.
Once the baby was born, she would become the wife of the president of Tip Top Media. Then, she would deal with Jessica and Molly as she wished.
She had plenty of opportunities ahead. She could wait.
'We'll see!'
After Sivan thought it through, she became the gentle and understanding woman in front of Carl and said softly, "I know. I won't get angry, or the baby will be unhappy."
Jessica picked up the cup expressionlessly and took a sip. She heard Sivan's words loud and clear.
Jessica was not happy, so Molly calmed down and did not cause any more trouble.
Not long after, the waiter came in.
Molly pursed her lips, and helped Jessica with the dishes. "Jessica, this is delicious."
Jessica did not look at them and did not speak. She was soon full.
She took out her phone and checked the time.
It was almost eleven o'clock. She had to get up at five o'clock tomorrow morning. "We can go out now."
"What's the hurry? I'm not finished yet." Sivan noticed that Jessica was very tired, so she deliberately ate slowly.
Carl said, "I'm sleepy. The food here doesn't taste good. I'll take you to the Golden Cauldron Club tomorrow after we get back to Hoover City."
Hearing this, Sivan glanced at Jessica, but Jessica's face showed no emotion.
Sivan didn't see the jealousy she expected the most.
She was upset and said, "I agree with you that the food here is terrible."
