Chapter 418


    ‘Isabe, sure, but that’s impossible. So that’s it, Jessica.


    ‘Jessica?’ Eric arched an eyebrow. “Are you good friends with her?”


    ‘Clear. She is my friend here.


    ‘I’ll think about it.’ He didn’t readily agree to this.


    I was about to speak well of Jessica when there was a knock on the door, so I shut up. A momentter,


    Eric’s assistant came in with a document. I thought I should leave, so I got up. ‘I’m going now.’

    help you with that, and I’m sure he would if you


    asked him to.’


    ‘Are you going to tell your friends and family about this kind of thing easily?’

    is a failure because he might identally expose it to my dad.


    ‘Is that the only reason? What if Carson knows what you’re thinking and ckmails you? you
