Chapter 1702: An Opportunity to Be Alone with Jessica
In the Golden Cauldron Club.
There were still as many people as before.
The Golden Cauldron Club remained the same.
However, the people who came and went were no longer familiar faces.
When Jessica entered, she actually felt a little sad.
She realized that even the welcoming usher at the entrance was not the one in her memory.
Why did she suddenly be so sentimental?
Her injury contributed to her bad mood?
Jessica thought that it must be.
Carl had was once the boss of the Golden Cauldron Club. Although Leonardo had already taken it back, the employees here still recognized Carl. He had some privileges.
As soon as Carl arrived, there was a private box for him.
With the lead of the usher, they entered the box.
Carl and Sophia sat side by side, Molly and Jessica sat side by side. There was a categorical line.
Sophia was very satisfied with the distribution of the seats.
In the past, she had always watched Jessica and Carl together, but she could only watch Carl from afar. Now, she had finally sat beside him.
She was glad that she had persisted for so many years.
And it had proved that she made the right choice.
Sophia, as a hostess, passed the menu to Molly and Jessica, "Here's the menu, what do you want to eat?"
Jessica glanced at Sophia. Without a look at the menu, she leaned lazily against the sofa, looking like she didn't want to speak and had no emotion.
Sophia wasn't angry about that. But the atmosphere was a little awkward.
Sophia stood up and gently said to Carl, "Carl, I want to go the bathroom." "Okay," Carl replied unemotionally.
Before Sophia left, she looked at Carl worriedly and then at Jessica.
It wasn't that she was paranoid, but their being in a room made her uncomfortable. She was anxious. A man should not be so nice to his ex-girlfriend.
But...
This kind of thing was unavoidable. She knew that as long as she was with Carl, she had to be prepared for that Carl will still get along with Jessica and he cares much about her.
Even if they weren't together, the ties they built years before would still be strong.
Sophia didn't want to admit it.
When she was young, she had always wanted to replace Jessica. But now that she knew that she would never take place of Jessica. Her illusion was shattered and she accepted that Carl cared more about Jessica.
Sophia went out, and Molly felt at ease immediately.
"Let me see the menu." Molly picked up the menu and looked at Jessica, "Jessica beauty, what do you want to eat? I would help you order."
"Thanks, I'm okay with what you like," Jessica replied but didn't even look up.
Molly casually ordered two dishes. She felt something wrong in the box. She felt uncomfortable about the weird atmosphere so she stood up. "Well, I have to make a call. I'll go out for a while and you guys have a good talk."
In fact, she also wanted to give Carl an opportunity to spend time alone with Jessica.
Sophia was an acquaintance to Molly, but Molly did not like Sophia very much. She still hoped that Carl could be with Jessica.
But these two...
She sighed.
She shook her head and went out.
Only Jessica and Carl remained in the room.
"You will start filming next month. How are your legs that time?" It was Carl who spoke first.
Once he finished his words, he regretted immediately. He was worried about her.
He wanted to beat himself up.
Why was he so humble?
He said that he had a new girlfriend, but she was not shocked. Why he still cared about her so much after that.
He was demeaning himself!☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
