Molly came over and said to Jessica with a fawning expression, "Jessica, since I'm so frank with you,
can you not be angry with me?"
Jessica turned her head and looked at Molly with a fake smile, "Let's see how you behave."
"I will definitely behave well!" Molly clenched her fists with both hands, as if she was taking an oath of
allegiance to her.
After she finished speaking, she leaned over again and said, "Jessica, can you keep it a secret for
me?"
"Why?" Jessica teased her, "Is being Carl's cousin so shameful?"
"No." Molly found it hard to say.
But she finally said, "Actually, I secretly ran away from home to escape the arranged marriage. I
begged Carl for quite a few days before he agreed to give me such a job..."
Hearing this, Jessica turned around and fixed her eyes on Molly seriously, as if it were the first time she
met her.
Molly touched her hair and said embarrassedly, "My family wants to arrange a marriage for me. Of
course I didn't agree. I'm a girl in the new era, and I have my own ideas."
Jessica smiled and said nothing. She saw youth and courage in Molly.
It was as if the older a person was, the less courage he or she would have.
Jessica thought about herself. When she was young, she was always brave. Regardless of the
consequences, she was not afraid of failures.
Jessica was lost for a moment, but she quickly regained her senses and asked, "Did Carl ask you to do
anything else except giving you a job?"
"No," Molly answered straightforwardly, but this made Jessica suspicious.
She raised her eyebrows in disbelief. Molly could only admit, "He asked me to report your whereabouts
to him…But Jessica, please trust me. How can I accept such an unreasonable requirement and reveal
your privacy?"
Molly looked very upright. But Jessica didn't believe her. If it was really as Molly said, why would Carl
appear at the event site?
They were really cousins.
"Let's go back." Jessica didn't expose her. She closed her eyes to take a nap.
During the event, she felt cold and tired. And later, Carl had troubled her a lot. She was now exhausted,
both physically and mentally. She only wanted to have a good rest.
A few days later, it was the year-end party of Tip Top Media.
Carl was a generous boss, so the year-end party was naturally held in Golden Cauldron Club.
After Jessica returned home that day, she caught a cold and it lasted for several days. On the day of
the year-end party, she still had a slight cough.
Before she left home, she took some medicine. When she arrived at the venue of the year-end party,
she felt very sleepy.
The year-end party was one of the occasions when the employees in the company could see the boss
Carl, so everyone rushed to sign up for the party shows.
Jessica was not interested in it. She took a cup of hot water and stayed in a corner to watch the show.
Coincidentally, she could see Carl sitting at 2 o'clock direction.
The place was very large. Although she could see Carl, the distance between them was far.
She could see him because his position was conspicuous. It might be difficult for Carl to see her in the
crowd when he turned around.
Jessica sniffed and felt like coughing again. Seeing Jessica wrinkle her nose, Molly gave her a piece of
tissue and said, "I should take you to the hospital."
"It doesn't matter. It's just a small case. I'll be fine in a few days." Jessica rubbed her nose slightly as it
itched, her voice muffled.
"Jessica, I think your voice is quite pleasant to hear right now. It sounds especially cute." Molly smiled
and turned to look at her.
