Chapter 142 Tricked

• I went to the restaurant whilst deep in thought but didn’t see Jessica anywhere. Surprised, I casually ordered something light to eat. Then, I received a call from Carson halfway through my meal and spoke to him for a short while before ending the call. On my way out of the restaurant, I ran into Jessica’s subordinate, Abby, who smiled and greeted me. Thus, I was unable to contain myself and asked, “Where did Jessica go?”
• “Oh, Manager Rose? She left early in the morning. I have no idea where she went either.”
• After hearing that, I recalled my conversation with Jessica this morning. She mentioned having insider information for me; I guess that wasn’t a joke. Hence, I decided to call her. To my surprise, her phone had been turned off. Under normal circumstances, she would only turn her phone off for two reasons. One, there was no signal at her location, and the other, she was entertaining an important client. Since Abby said that she left early this morning, I guess she left to meet an important client.
