Jessica thought Jayvion had figured out the fact that she was in a relationship with Carl. A complicated
expression crossed her face.
She was agitated about what would happen after she told Jayvion about the truth.
Lots of thoughts flooded into Jessica's head. She couldn't imagine how bad it would be if Jayvion found
out she and Carl had been together.
At that very moment, Jayvion suddenly slammed his hand on the table. Jessica was shocked, looking
up at him.
With pity in his eyes, Jayvion shook his head and said, "Come on, Jessica! You deserve better. And
Carl is not your perfect match. You're just wasting your time."
"You said we're never meant to be together, but I'll try my best to be a better man for you. I'm the one
you should be with. But you and Carl, I don't think this is going to work."
The more he said, the more concerned he became. It seemed like Jayvion was far more upset than he
was when Jessica turned him down.
'Thank god! Jayvion is not that smart to sort things out.' Jessica thought.
However, Jessica was grateful to Jayvion, who saw things from her perspective.
She smiled and said, "You never can tell. Anyway, thank you."
And she meant it.
Things changed over time, but something would stay the same.
She couldn't deny that.
Jayvion cared about her, even though she thought Jayvion had changed.
Jessica appreciated that.
Jessica could tell from Jayvion's expression that he might want to keep talking about Carl, which wasn't
a good idea. So she moved on to another subject, "How is it going lately? You're going to take over the
family business. It seems like you are at the prime of your time, doesn't it?"
"Give me a break," Jayvion put on a self-mocking smile and said, "You know what's going on with the
Rowlands. To be honest, we're going through a rough patch."
"You're just trying to fool me. The Rowlands is doing pretty good. I heard that the Rowlands had
established trade relations with a large company in Eureka City."
Jessica knew little about business, but she did know a little about the Rowlands.
Though the Rowlands was the first batch to do business, it could hardly keep up with the ever-changing
circumstances, struggling to survive in recent years. Without the business networking built in the early
years, the Rowlands could be doomed.
That meant the Rowlands was not successful anymore.
It was one of the reasons why Jayvion chased after Jessica.
The Hicks family was growing, far more promising than the Rowlands. Another reason was that Jessica
had a good relationship with Carl, who was the boss of the Tip Top Media Company and a good friend
of Leonardo. Given that, Jessica might help him out when the Rowlands was in trouble.
Of course, Jayvion knew he was a friend of Carl, but he felt Jessica was more than just a friend to Carl.
Jayvion shook his head, showing no intention to go further. "Why don't we enjoy our meal?" he said.
Then he picked up his phone and flicked a glance at it. Somehow, he knitted his brows with a look of
dislike.
"What's wrong?" Jessica asked.
Jayvion showed his phone to her and said, "Check this out."
