Chapter 25

MARK'S POV:

As Paul walked towards me, he extended his hand for a friendly handshake.

However, Jennie, who was already seated inside the car and had already closed the car door, was waiting for me. Paul was unable to make physical contact with Jennie and had to settle for a polite wave instead.

"Mark, I would like to have a word with you, maybe we should talk it out at lunch." I was taken aback by his offer, so I hesitated for a moment before responding.

"But I just finished lunch now," I told him, hoping he wouldn't take offence. I wasn't sure what he wanted to talk about, but the timing seemed a bit odd to me.

"Then let's just talk." He said. Although I wasn't certain about the topic of discussion, then I agreed to meet with him. I decided to ask Paul to wait for me inside the Cafe while I join him later.

Paul walked briskly towards the cafe, and I quickly made my way to the car. As I got into the car, I took a deep breath and mentally rehearsed what I was going to say to Jennie.
