“This is your favorite fish. Delh specially bought this for you as she said you need to eat better.” Joan

picked up a piece of fish and fed it to Larry.
Delh had always been observant. She knew the idiosyncrasies of Joan, Larry, and Lucius.
“Yummy! But nothing beats the fact that my wife cooks well!” Larry grabbed her by her waist and pulled
her towards him. He had a naughty look in his eyes.
“Watch your image!” Joan chided and knocked him lightly on his head.
He did not have to put on any pretense in front of her. Larry put his face close to hers and blew gently
into her ears
“Larry!” Jessica yelled as she barged into the room.
Joan immediately stood up from Larry’sp, looking embarrassed. And there was an awkward silence
in the air.
“I’m so sorry. I did not realize you are having your lovey-dovey moment. Please go on. I will get out of
here.” Jessica jested and turned to leave.
“Stop there!” Larry grunted.
“Shoot. What’s up?”
Jessica stood by the door and hesitated. Should I stay or should I leave?
“I’ll go to the washroom.” Joan made an excuse and left the office.
“Well done, Larry! You have made quick progress with Joan!” Jessica ran over to Larry and pped
him on his shoulders.
She had dispensed with formality and was acting pally with him. Larry looked up at her solemnly.
Jessica had a look of guilt in her eyes and was smiling sheepishly as she knew she hit him too hard
earlier. “Hehe…”
“Out with it, and stop being a nuisance,” Larry groused.
He doesn’t have to be so cold to me just because his wife is back, does he? Jessica red at him and
protested in silence.
“Are you going to just keep mum? Then get out, or I’ll call for the security.”
“Alright, I’ll speak. My bookstore business has improved, so I thought of exploring with you about
starting a franchise,” she stated.
That’s good news! Larry looked pleased. This meant her career is taking off!
However, as franchising was aplicated matter that involved many issues, Larry asked, “Have you
given it thorough considerations?”
“Not yet. That is why I am here to discuss this with you. I don’t have much experience in business and
need more information on many matters, so I thought of seeking some advice from you,” Jessica
added.
She has grown up and bes more mature. Larry stood up and stared out of the window, deep in
thought.
He disagrees? Or is he contemting? Jessica looked at him and wondered anxiously.
“It is fine. But the bookstore is yours, your business, so you are ultimately responsible. I can only y a
supportive role. You cannot rely on others, understand?” Larry lectured solemnly.
At the end of the day, she would have to learn to be independent and manage her own business!
He could only give her support for now, but that would not be a sustainable long-term arrangement.
“Noted,” Jessica responded.
Larry’s intention was clear. He wanted her to make her own decisions. He had confidence that given
her intelligence and savviness, she would be sessful. She would gain the experience to be a
better business person in no time.
“I’ll make a move then.” With that, she left.
Joan entered the room and asked, “Why did you not help her?”
“I know there is nothing between the two of you, so you don’t have to worry about me getting jealous,”
she added.
The issue would not bother her anymore since they cleared up the misunderstandings.
“It is not because of you,” Larry assured, as he held her in his arms and gently caressed her hair.
“Running a business is like fighting a war. Your foes andpetitors are out to defeat you. If she
constantly relied on me, what would she do if I were not with her someday?” Larry exined.
s, Joan understood his good intentions.
“Hey, you have been paying lots of attention to Jessicately, so keep a lookout for her,” Larry said.
On the other end of the line, Caspian was baffled by what Larry just said.
