Jessica turned around and looked at Carl expressionlessly.
Her gaze was clearly saying, "Don't follow me."
Carl lazily said, "I live in the same neighborhood as you. This is also my way home. I'm not following
you."
He was right, but the rumor about Jessica wasn't over, so she knew her situation very well.
"If we get photographed, it's easy to cause misunderstandings."
"What misunderstanding? Is our relationship already so bad that we want to assassinate each other
late at night?"
Carl even laughed as he spoke.
Jessica thought for a moment. What they showed on the program "My Life" was indeed a bad relation.
However, it wasn't good to be photographed at such a sensitive time.
Jessica did not waste time with him. He turned around and walked across the road. He kept a distance
with him and strode towards her neighborhood.
The street lamps on the side of the road were dim. Jessica quickly disappeared into the darkness.
Carl was still standing on the spot. He looked in the direction where Jessica had left. After a while, he
did not see Jessica.
After confirming that Jessica had gone far, Carl sighed deeply, took out a pack of cigarettes from his
pocket, and squatted down on the roadside.
He slowly took out a cigarette and put it in his mouth. He lit it and took a breath before coughing twice.
He hadn't smoked much during this period, so he already wasn't used to the smell.
After Carl coughed twice, his mood became even worse. He looked at the time, and it was already past
three o'clock. After putting the cigarette case into his pocket, he took out his phone from his other
pocket.
He found a number on his phone and called.
It rang several times before someone picked up the phone.
Leonardo's gloomy voice rang out from the phone, "Carl, you'd better have something important. If
not..."
A cold laugh fully expressed Leonardo's current mood.
No one could have a good temper if they received a phone call at three in the morning when they were
sleeping soundly.
Carl's voice sounded somewhat frustrated, "Of course I have."
Leonardo, "Go ahead."
"Jessica doesn't even want to walk with me now." In the second half of the sentence, Carl's voice was
obviously lowered, and he sounded depressed.
Leonardo went silent for more than three seconds.
Carl understood Leonardo too well. He thought Leonardo probably would hang up.
Before Leonardo hung up the phone, Carl hurriedly said, "Leonardo, hear me out. Don't hang up on me
in a hurry. Think about it from another angle. If Summer doesn't hold hands with you and doesn't walk
with you on the streets, is this a big deal?"
Just as Leonardo was about to hang up the phone, he pondered for two seconds, "Do you want
Summer and me to fight?"
His tone was filled with danger.
Carl said, " ... I don't ... I'm just assuming."
Leonardo didn't listen to him at all and said coldly, "It doesn't exist."
After Leonardo finished speaking, he sneered again.
Carl wasn't afraid that Leonardo would get angry. He kept saying, "I've never had such a hard time
since I started a business with you in the past..."
He was the chief producer of "Lost City", and the crew had been reporting him about the progress, so
he knew all about everything in the crew.
He was also very clear about Jessica's whereabouts.
Knowing that Jessica had returned today, he inquired from Molly about Jessica treating the crew of "My
Life" to dinner snack, so he went out to pretend to encounter her.
