Chapter 50

It was still early in the morning. Joshua and Zachary were going over some files, quietly discussing something. Meanwhile, Susan had gone to grab some coffee. Sitting across from Jessica, Eric glanced at her, then moved a fried egg from his plate to hers. "You didn't eat much. Here, have this. I took a little too much from the buffet line earlier. Wouldn't want to be starving when we get to Fashion Week, would you?" Jessica felt a little awkward. She snuck a look at Zachary, who was sitting right beside her, still focused on the documents with Joshua. "I'm not a fan of fried eggs." She considered putting it back on Eric's plate, but the waiters had just taken away her used utensils. "Don't waste it," Zachary said casually without even looking up. "I like eggs." He leaned in, scooped up the egg in one go, and stuffed it into his mouth. Then, he went right back to reviewing the file like nothing happened. Under the table, his hand reached over and held hers, resting on her lap.
