Jessica raised her head and forced a smile, "If Carl is really with Sivan, it isn’t a bad thing. He could
finally start over again. He shouldn't waste any more time on me."
Summer was shocked, "Jessica, do you really mean it?"
Although Jessica said similar things in the past and seemed not to care about Carl, Summer had never
heard Jessica talk about Carl in such a tone with relief. She sounded as if she had really decided to
end the relationship between Carl and her.
"Yes, I do. Life is too short. I'll be thirty years old in a few years. My youth is short. I've been focusing
on filming in the past few years, and I want to take a rest and start a new relationship. There's a guy
named Jaron, as I mentioned to you last time, and he is actually not bad."
Jessica smiled and turned to look at Summer, "When I have time, I'll introduce Jaron to you. You can
meet him and see if he is the right man for me."
Summer, however, could not smile back. She could not tell why, but she felt it was not what Jessica
really wanted.
At this moment, the elevator door opened. Summer walked out with Jessica and said, "Have you ever
thought about telling Carl about that thing?"
"It's not necessary." Jessica shook her head, and said softly, "Summer, Carl has always cared about
me since he was a child. Sometimes he might not look serious, but I know he knows his feelings for me
clearly in his heart. Otherwise, he wouldn't have left me all of a sudden and stayed there for so many
years. If I tell him about that now, it would only make him feel sad and guilty. He will try to compensate
me, and that will bring trouble for both of us."
Summer was silent. After a while, she asked, "You think he doesn't love you?"
"No," Jessica shook her head, "It is simple if what happened between us is just a matter of whether he
loves me or not."
Summer raised her eyes and saw Jessica's agent popping his head in at the door. He raised his hand
to look at his watch from time to time. Obviously, he was anxious.
Summer held Jessica's hand and said, "Let's talk about it after you come back, shall we?"
Jessica had kept those things in her heart for too long. Over the years, the weight in Jessica's heart
had grown heavier and heavier, and that was why Jessica became more and more pessimistic about
her relationship with Carl. She felt guilty, and tried to escape from him.
Jessica nodded. She was especially obedient today.
"Alright."
Summer curled her lips and put on a big smile, "Take care of yourself even when you're busy."
"I know. Everybody loves to nag when she becomes a mother. And you are not an exception." Jessica
was complaining, but she was smiling while saying that.
Summer watched Jessica get into the car. After the car drove away, she turned around and walked
back inside.
The elevator door suddenly opened, and the person walking out happened to be Sivan.
Summer noticed two girls who looked like Sivan's assistants were standing behind her. Even though
Sivan was not so famous, she had certainly gone in for pomp now.
Sivan saw Summer. Then she lowered her sunglasses with her hand and glanced at Summer. And
then, she put her sunglasses on again and walked past Summer with her head in the air. She even
deliberately shoved Summer by her shoulders.
Summer wasn't angry. She just found it so funny. Sivan had pretended to be adorable and gentle in
front of Carl and Leonardo. Summer wondered whether Sivan would treat her better if Sivan knew that
she was the boss of the Emerson Group.
But if Sivan did not like her, she did not have to like Sivan, either.
After going back to the office, Summer began to discuss with Carl about the contract.
Summer smiled gently, but her tone was firm, "I have two conditions."
Carl nodded and said, "Tell me about them. I would agree to whatever you say."
