“No, no, I don’t think you’re troubling me,” Jacob swiftly interrupted. “All right, I think we should stop talking about that. Just remember that if you’re feeling hurt anywhere, tell the housekeepers or me about it.”

He grabbed Jessica’s phone and continued, “What audiobooks do you like to listen to? I’ll help you get them. Next time, just tell the AI assistant the name of the book you want to listen to.”

After he set up the audiobooks she liked listening to, he talked with her for a while.

Upon seeing her joyous smile, he felt happy too and wanted to tell her he was planning to bring her out for a picnic tomorrow. Before he could do that, however, the phone sitting on the bedside table rang.

Jacob glanced at the number on the screen and answered the call. “Damn you. Why are you calling me in the middle of the night?”

“I saw your Instagram.” The man on the other end sounded drunk and exhausted. “Come find me at the club.”

“You’re in Yartran?”

“Mm.”

“Are you messing with me?” Jacob rolled his eyes, irritated. “There are so many cities in Yartran. How the heck would I know which city you’re in and if we’re in the same place?”

Annoyed, the man exclaimed, “I’m at Blacks. Just get the hell over here!”

Blacks was the bar where Jacob had discussed business matters last time and brought his friends.

I didn’t expect Wyatt to be in the same area as me right now! Jacob rubbed the space between his eyebrows and let out a sigh. “Fine. I’ll change my clothes and head over there later.”

Upon hanging up the phone, he informed Jessica resignedly, “My buddy is in Yartran, and he’s drinking in Blacks right now. I think something happened to him, so I’m going to meet up with him. You go to bed first, all right?”

Jessica nodded and reminded softly, “Be careful, and come home soon.”

“I’ll do my best. He sounds smashed.” Jacob sighed. I wonder if I can even return tonight.
