"I think..." Will cleared his throat, "I’d like to ask you out for a chat."
Jessica curled her lip, "No time!"
She thought he believed she couldn’t guess his intention, which was probably to take her out for revenge. She wasn’t going to give him that chance.
"What’s the matter?" Will switched to a provoking tone, "Afraid I’ll get back at you?"
"Provocation doesn’t work on me, save your energy. If last night wasn’t enough for you, we can continue tonight." Her tone already carried an unmistakable laugh.
"I had thought you were the kind of woman who fears nothing, turns out you’re just a scaredy-cat." Will kept poking her, "Makes sense, with such small breasts and a flat butt, how big can your courage be?"
Jessica’s voice immediately rose eight octaves, "What nonsense are you talking about?"
The audacity of that kid, daring to mock her figure?!
"I’m just telling it as it is!"
"You..." Jessica raised her face, noticed Gan Yuan’s gaze, and smiled apologetically, quickly hanging up the phone, "Sorry, I didn’t mean to disturb you."
Gan Yuan returned her smile, "Actually, you don’t have to keep me company here all the time, getting some fresh air is good too."
Jessica, who could never sit still, was only by Gan Yuan’s side because Moses had given his word; in fact, she had been antsy for a while now, dying to seize an opportunity to go out for a walk.
Gan Yuan looked at his watch, "I need at least another hour to go through these documents. Why don’t you go get us something to eat?"
"Well... okay!" Jessica stood up with a smile, "What would you like to eat?"
"Anything." Gan Yuan said.
"Then I’ll decide." Jessica opened the office door and paused, "If you need anything, just call me."
Gan Yuan returned his attention to the documents in his hands.
Jessica stepped out of the office, took a deep breath of the air in the hallway, and immediately started shaking out her arms and legs, striding toward the elevator with a light step. She could finally move around; if she sat down on the couch again, her arms and legs might just rust.
Just as she entered the elevator, Will’s call came again.
She casually answered the phone and brought it to her ear.
"Colonel, what is it now?"
"I just want to tell you, you better stay in your room and not come out, otherwise..."
"Otherwise what?" Jessica asked languidly.
"Otherwise..." Will gritted his back teeth, "you’ll have to deal with the consequences."
Jessica hung up the phone once again.
On the other end of the phone, Will listened to the dial tone, feeling nothing but frustration. When it came to work, even Huangfu Jue had to be satisfied with his performance, but when dealing with women, he truly lacked experience.
He had thought that with Jessica’s personality, a little provocation should have drawn a response; he didn’t expect it to turn out this way.
Glancing sideways at the GM Building not far away, he frowned in contemplation, what to do?
As he was deep in thought, he saw a figure emerge from the main entrance of the building, a tall stature, with dazzling blonde hair – it was Jessica.
A spark of joy in his heart, Will perked up, watching Jessica turn and cross the street; he immediately pushed open the car door and followed from a distance.
Crossing the road, Jessica walked straight into a bar across the street and ordered a whiskey, her favorite.
Adding an extra Chapter for now, good night everyone,
