Jessica Flack remained flushed with excitement throughout the banquet.
"Muah!" Jessica boldly planted a kiss on Basil Jaak's face.
Basil gave a wry smile, saying, "Miss, I am driving now. We could end up in a car crash if you distract me like this!"
Jessica swung her fist in glee, "One billion! Just thinking about our company being able to secure a billion in low-interest loans every year makes me giddy with excitement! You did so splendidly tonight. I'm just over the moon!"
Basil cast a sidelong glance at the overjoyed Jessica, feeling an itch in his heart. He thought to himself, "I was not even that excited. What is she getting all worked up about?"
Unaware of Basil's teasing thoughts, Jessica, still lost in her reverie, hummed a tune gleefully to the rhythm of the rain outside.
Upon reaching Sky Garden, the rain had somewhat subdued but was still pattering down steadily, seeming unlikely to stop any time soon.
