Jessica concentrated on singing, and didn't notice anyone coming in.
Seeing Leonardo and Carl enter, Summer frowned. When Leonardo approached, she glared at him
discontentedly.
"I met him at the elevator." Leonardo lowered his head and leaned against her ear, explaining softly in a
flattering tone.
Then Summer felt better.
Just now, Leonardo sent her a message asking where she was. She was afraid that Leonardo would
be worried, so she said she was singing with Jessica in the private room.
Leonardo would definitely come to look for her after the annual meeting, but Summer didn't expect Carl
to come with him.
After Jessica left, Carl felt restless in the banquet hall. He always thought of Jessica's indifferent gaze
with anger before she left.
Jessica’s indifference frightened him. He was restless and just wanted to come out and find Jessica.
Obviously, Jessica would not answer the phone. He heard the waiter say that Jessica was with
Summer.
He knew Emerson Group was holding the annual meeting in the Golden Cauldron Club tonight.
Summer came with Leonardo, so she would not leave alone.
That meant Jessica was still in the Golden Cauldron Club, so he wanted to look for Jessica floor by
floor.
As a result, he met Leonardo at the elevator.
As soon as Leonardo saw Carl, he understood what was going on. They tacitly walked together without
saying anything.
"Summer." Carl smiled.
Summer sighed and said, "Carl."
After Jessica finished singing, she turned around and saw Carl and Leonardo.
She threw away the microphone and walked over to Carl. "What are you doing here?"
Jessica was smart, and knew Carl was here for her. She could tell from his uneasy expression.
"Jessica, I didn't mean to help Sivan in the banquet hall. I just..."
Just what? Carl didn't know how to explain.
'Just say I annoyed you intentionally?'
Jessica sneered, "Sivan is your girlfriend. You should help her."
"No ... Sivan and I are just..." Carl wanted to explain that they weren't boyfriend and girlfriend.
"Sivan is your girlfriend. You admit it yourself. Everyone knows it. I hope you can be more mature,
control your emotions, and handle your feelings and relationship properly."
Jessica said in an extremely calm voice.
Carl's heart sank. "Jessica, don't say it like this."
Since he came in, he called her name in an intimate way. He hadn't called her in this way for a long
time.
Jessica smiled, "I've thought about it. What I said to you before was thoughtless. I apologize to you. I
don't think you are disgusting. I just don't want to be with you."
Carl looked tense and stared closely at Jessica.
Jessica continued, "I liked you when you were twenty and I was eighteen. Ten years has passed. I am
twenty-eight. I still like the twenty-year-old Carl, not the Carl right now."
Carl's body trembled as he looked at Jessica anxiously.
"Do you understand what I mean?" Jessica's voice was very calm. If Carl said he did not understand,
she would explain it to him again.
Carl didn't say anything, and was completely speechless.
Jessica's words made him even more miserable now.
