Chapter 1598 Are You Still At Work?

"The capital chain was broken?" Jessica looked at him in disbelief, "How come? You've only been back

for days! I know the market is in a recession these days and the Rowlands was kind of affected. But

this is way too much!"

The Rowlands were powerful and wealthy, as much as the Emersons. The two families rose at the

same time and were both standing on the top.

The Rowlands had their own business partners. It wouldn't have been a problem to keep the company

in order, despite the decrease in profits.

"I don't know how it ended up like this," Jayvion shook his head and then he became silent.

Jessica sensed that there was something wrong with him. It seemed that he was under too much

pressure.

Jessica couldn't help but ask, "How much?"

"More than 800 million," Jayvion said.

"That much?" Jessica realized that something was wrong, "Jayvion, are you hiding something from

me?"

"I..." Jayvion hesitated, wondering what to say.

"Then talk to me when you've thought it through." They wouldn't have reached anything if Jayvion

remained so. ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

She didn't even know what Jayvion was up to.

How could he make such a mess out of the Rowlands?

Jessica stood up with the paper sheet given by Jayvion in hand, "By the way, I don't want Carl to know

about it indeed but you can't threaten me with it. If you really want to tell him, then go ahead."

She accepted favors from friends, but definitely no threats.

Jayvion looked embarrassed. He gazed at Jessica and was speechless.

Jessica didn't just walk away. Instead, she went to the lady's room.

She stood in front of the toilet and tore the paper sheet into pieces. She pressed the flushing button

and saw the pieces flushed away bit by bit. Then she left.

She washed her hands and looked up wearily at herself in the mirror.

She felt sudden exhaustion and missed Carl badly.

She then called Carl.

The call didn't get through. She only heard a robotic female sound coming from the phone.

"Sorry, the subscriber you dialed cannot be connected for the moment, please redial later."

She called him again and again until he shut his phone down.

Jessica couldn't even tell when was the last time that he didn't answer her call.

She didn't feel good then and now she felt worse.

Jessica took a deep breath to calm down. She put her phone back into her purse and walked straight

out.

When she got to the hall, she saw a man and a woman walking out side by side right a few steps in

front of her.

The man was tall and strong while the woman was thin and petite.

Even only looking from behind, Jessica could tell that both of them were attractive.

When the man spoke to the woman, he tilted his head slightly. Only half of his face was revealed. It

was handsome, with full concentration.

She didn't know what the woman said that made him frown slightly. The woman then said something

else so that he curled his lips and smiled.

Jessica caught up with them.

She walked out following them until the woman got into a car and left. Then the man took out his

phone.

Jessica's phone rang in the next second.

She stood in the shadows, where she couldn't be detected and answered the phone.

She said calmly, "Hello."

"What happened, honey? Did you miss me? I'm still at work in the company."

Jessica gazed at the man right over there and asked in a soft tone, "Are you really at work?"

The man smiled at the phone, "Of course I am."
