Since his plan was a little choked up, Jackson contacted his sister to meet immediately. Jessi agreed to the meeting.
Here they are now. Both Jacob and Jessi are already at the restaurant that Jackson promised to meet.
"How about Clara, have you got time to meet her?" asked Jackson to the point.
"Not yet. Jacob said Clara was busy and didn't have time to see me yet," Jessi told Jackson.
"Are you sure your lover is honest?" Jackson asked a little doubtfully.
"Hey, what do you mean? You don't trust Jacob, who is much more honest than you," Jessi sneered, who defended her lover.
"Woah ... now you seriously have feelings for him?" Jackson asked, knitting his brows in disbelief.
"Mmm ... a little ... it seems like I got carried away ... but more than that ... you know yourself Jacob is not a liar ... after all, what makes you doubt him?"
"I'm just confused ... when I can't reach her ... Jacob was able to contact Clara ... isn't that weird?"
"It could be that Clara just wanted to pick up her brother's number," said Jessi trying to calm down.
"Hopefully, your words are correct ... I can't track it yet. The last contact was hard to trace," said Jackson.
"I trust him," said Jessi.
"I hope you don't fall in love with him too much ... you remember aunt's message, right?"
"You !!! Why do you even remind me of her?" Jessi growled at once.
"I just wanna give a caution to you!"
"Whatever," said Jessi, shrugging her shoulders indifferently to what Jackson said.
The two of them seemed a little irritated by emotion for a moment, especially when Jessi almost didn't control her feelings.
Jessi knew that her brother had gently warned her for the sake of her good but only tried to deny it.
Jessi doesn't like that!

Chris, who just came out of his room after finishing the meeting, immediately found his acquaintance who was waiting in his private office.
"Mr. David?" Chris asked when he saw the presence of the middle-aged man who was sitting on the sofa in the room.
Suddenly David turned his head towards Chris.
"Oh, hi ..."
"Been waiting long?" asked Chris politely.
David looked at the clock, perched on his hand for a moment.
"About 5 minutes ago," said David.
"Mmm ... then it hasn't been too long ... Can I help you?" said Chris as he sat on the sofa opposite David.
"I just want to stay in touch with you, Mr. Chris ... I am not comfortable meeting you when my clothes are like yesterday," said David frankly.
"Ah ... that, if only because of that Mr. David didn't need to come here, after all, I also dressed casually yesterday ... so it's the same, sir," said Chris as casually as possible.
David seemed to be rubbing the nape of his neck, which was not itchy.
"It's just that I'm afraid my image in your eyes will change, especially as if I'm avoiding people like yesterday," said David.
"Don't worry, I'm not judging someone just because of their appearance, sir," said Chris politely.
'Was what brother said yesterday true about him looking for Clara ... but why was he looking for her? isn't Mr. David I know a good man? and a low profile?' Chris muttered in his head.
David seemed to display a smile.
"Huh ~ finally I can be a little relieved ... I never thought that young people like you could have such broad minds," said David to Chris.
Chris took a good look at David's face.
There was no lie that Chris could tell from his eyes look or his body movements.
Chris only catches the honesty and anxiety of David's fear of judged differently from Chris.
"Then should we have lunch together?" asked David as an offer to Chris.
Of course, Chris said "Yes" to David, because after all, he could not possibly disappoint his colleagues, especially during this time he had a good relationship with David.
'I hope Mr. David is not looking for Clara with bad intentions,' Chris muttered in his head.
After that conversation, the two of them immediately moved to the restaurant, which of course was recommended by David, because David was the one who invited him to have lunch together.
'It looks like this young man is thinking realistically ... there's no way he will think strange about me,' said David to himself after watching Chris for a moment.
Not long after David and Chris came out of Chris's office lobby, David got a telephone call.
"Mom ... what's wrong? why did you call me? "David muttered as he looked at his cellphone screen.
With great curiosity and a question, David picked up the phone beside Chris.
"Hello."
"Hello."
"What's wrong, Mom calling me?"
Hearing the words 'mom,' Chris subconsciously turned to look at David.
'Mom ?? is not Mr. David's mother is gone? Did I hear correctly? If I'm not mistaken… who did Mr. David mean,' Chris monologue to himself after hearing the odd word in Chris's ear.
Because of the heightened curiosity, without realizing it, Chris began to listen to David's conversation with someone whom David called 'Mom'.
'Ugh ... this is Mr. David, who I know all this time, right?'
