The conversation with Carl went more smoothly than Jessica had imagined.
After Jessica politely rejected his offer to renew her contract, Carl didn't insist. As they stopped talking,
the conversation ended with an awkward silence.
Jessica turned around to leave the meeting room, but stopped at the door.
"Carl, what happened recently is unpleasant, I know you've never really blamed me. I am not really
mad at you. In my heart, you are still the nice and kind boy I used to know."
Jessica's voice was low, but somehow it was penetrating. It pierced through Carl's heart, reminding him
of the good old days he had spent with Jessica.
Carl’s heart was broken.
He was still sitting motionlessly in his chair after Jessica left.
These days, he felt tortured whenever he met Sivan. He always spent a long time imagining the scene
when he went to apologize to Jessica after fixing the issue with Sivan.
Jessica was stubborn, and her bark was worse than her bite.
She would definitely forgive Carl, but it wasn't easy.
Obviously, she made that speech just now to tell him that she knew he wasn't deliberately cancelling
her work.
He might have some reasons, but she didn't ask why and chose to forgive him.
She no longer cared what the reason was.
She didn't care anymore....
These days, Carl often reflected on himself. If he was as resolute as Leonardo, would he be in such a
dilemma?
Both he and Jessica were too confident. Thus, only when there was a rift between them, did they
realize that it was too late. Because it would be useless to make up for it now.
Walking out of Carl's office, Jessica went to the bathroom.
She slowly washed her hands and looked at her sad face in the mirror. She sighed and said to herself,
"Cheer up."
Then she washed her face and raised her head, looking as confident and proud as usual.
She was Jessica.
When she was a child, she was carefree. And in her teens, she lived an easy life. After she grew up,
she got her favorite job at her twenties.
She was satisfied with her life most of the time, except that her love affair didn't go well.
Jessica was much luckier when compared to Summer. However, Jessica was still envious of Summer.
If possible, everyone would want a unique lover in the world.
It was known to all that love was fantastic, but not everybody were lucky enough to enjoy it.
Jessica chuckled and fixed her hair and clothes. Then she turned around and walked out.
At the corner of the corridor, she met Molly, who was looking for Jessica.
"Jessica, there you are! I've finally found you." Molly smiled the moment she saw Jessica.
"You're in a hurry. Is something going on?" Jessica was calm, and her depression was gone.
"Yes. The rumor about you and Sophia has been clarified. Someone posted a surveillance video, and it
became a trending topic...."
Jessica listened to Molly while walking forward. After Molly finished speaking, Jessica said, "Sophia is
a man of action."
"It's Sophia who posted the surveillance video and clarified the rumor? She is indeed quick. I thought
the company did it," Molly murmured.
Hearing this, Jessica took out her phone and called Sophia.
"Jessica, there you are! I've finally found you." Molly smiled the moment she saw Jessica.
"You're in a hurry. ls something going on?" Jessica was calm, and her depression was gone.
