Summer had been trying to keep her mind off it.
That was why she had the courage to ask Leonardo about his true thoughts.
However, Leonardo had made himself pretty clear.
He really wanted to leave her.
Maybe he still loved her, but he had no desire to be with her.
She bit her lips and walked to the elevator in a trance. She did not press any button and just stood
there absentmindedly.
Someone was behind her and examined her curiously before reaching out to press a button.
The elevator door opened, closed, and reopened.
Summer still stood there motionlessly.
She came back to earth when Eliza called her.
"Summer, you'd better not come to the studio today, or else you won't be able to leave there alive! You
actually asked that jerk Bowen to pick me up!"
Eliza sounded cranky. She woke up this morning and was dumbfounded to find she wasn't at home.
Summer listened and then said faintly, "Wasn't that what you wanted?"
"I...." Eliza was dumb for quite some time before answering awkwardly, "But you shouldn't have just...."
"You got what you wanted. It was great. I am hanging up."
"Wait! Where did you sleep last night? You...."
Summer didn't care what Eliza had to say and ended the call.
Summer calmed herself and got into the elevator. She hurried outside when it reached the first floor.
She bumped into someone at the door.
She did not give it much thought and put her hands into the pockets of her coat, trotting to the gate with
her head held low.
As she walked down the stairs, she felt someone was blocking her way. Looking up with a frown, she
saw Stanley's annoying face.
"Summer." He smiled at her.
Summer raised her eyebrows looking calm. "What’s the matter?"
He shook his head. "I'm just curious why you're here."
"Does it have anything to do with you?" She walked around him to leave but stopped when he added,
"Summer, you're lying to me."
His voice was low and tinged with anger.
She stopped and turned to look at him, meeting his eyes.
He stared at her with a complicated look.
Her heart skipped a beat.
Did Stanley know she had never been hypnotized by him?
She wasn't certain and remained silent.
He took a step forward squinting, close to her. "I said long ago Leonardo was not right for you. Even if
you pretended to be hypnotized, he still abandoned you."
Then, he straightened up and retreated, his smile eerily gentle.
She clenched her hands and said through gritted teeth, "Whether I'm with Leonardo or not, it has
nothing to do with you."
"You were not hypnotized, and Rosie is alive, right?" He ignored her warning and raised his eyebrows.
She was shocked. He knew everything. The astonishment manifested in her face.
He noticed it and sneered, "You will realize Leonardo is no match for me!"
Her expression changed slightly. Just as she was about to speak, she vaguely sensed something.
Looking beyond his shoulders, she saw someone taking pictures of her with a camera.
When the shady person realized he was caught, he immediately put away his camera and ran. A car
came, and he got into, disappearing out of sight.
That person seemed to be the one who had just bumped into her.
Summer remembered the last time she and Stanley ate in a restaurant, they were photographed and
got on the news. She suppressed her anger and looked at Stanley. "Asshole!"
Why were there paparazzi every time she met Stanley? She was not a star. Although a show she was
in became a hit because of the amazing script, she was not that a big deal to have paparazzi busting
their asses to get a shot of her.
Apparently, Stanley hired someone to do it.
Stanley smiled nonchalantly, "Don't be mad. I'm doing this just for you!"
Summer sneered. She didn't want to say another word to him and left.
Behind her, he revealed a triumphant smile.
Because of what Leonardo said last night, Summer had been in a foul mood, and Stanley made it
worse.
She came to Eliza's studio with a long face, and the staff greeted her with caution.
Summer sat on the sofa after she entered Eliza's office.
Eliza asked her assistant to serve Summer a glass of water.
After the assistant brought the water in, Eliza gestured for her to put it in front of Summer.
The assistant followed the hint and whispered, "Ms. Summer, please drink some water."
"Thank you." Although Summer was upset, she wouldn't lose her temper.
After the assistant left, Eliza sat beside Summer and said, "The day has barely begun. Why are you so
upset? What's the matter?"
Eliza put one hand on the back of the sofa and crossed her legs, as if she was going to have a relaxing
chitchat with Summer.
Summer stared at Eliza's neck for a moment and noticed a few red dots there. Looking up at Eliza, she
said, "Pull your collar higher."
"What?" Eliza touched her neck. After a while, she realized what Summer meant, and her expression
changed slightly. "Is there anything on my neck?"
"Don't you know the best? Are you going to tell me a mosquito did that?" Summer curled her lips and
narrowed her eyes mischievously.
Eliza tugged at her collar and said in an annoyed tone, "It was a mosquito. Do you have a problem with
that?"
"Got it." Summer nodded. "Was its name Bowen?"
"Summer!" Noticing Eliza was about to blush, Summer dropped the matter.
Then Summer said seriously, "How much do you know about Amber? Do you know where she lives?"
Eliza hesitated before saying, "Why did you ask? You want to take revenge on her? Even if she is with
Leonardo now, you can't do anything illegal!"
"Did you suffer a recent blow to the head?" Summer exhaled angrily. "Do I look like I'm going to cause
her trouble?"
Eliza nodded without hesitation. "Yes!"
