Although Carl tried hard not to visit Jessica all week, he knew where she lived and where she
rehearsed for the play.
Therefore, after deciding to visit her, he went to the theatre without any investigation.
When he arrived, Jessica happened to be resting and chatting with a man beside her.
Carl didn't mind this, but what annoyed him was that man.
He was Jaron, whom Jessica had officially announced she was dating.
Before Carl came, he didn't tell anyone inside the theatre. He said that he was passing by and wanted
to take a look.
However, the moment he entered, he saw this.
What was worse, Jessica and Jaron were happily chatting with each other.
Carl thought back, but he couldn't remember when the last time Jessica had smiled at him.
The more he thought about it, the angrier he became.
It was just a rehearsal, so there was no audience. Carl got a chair, sat down in the back row, and
deliberately tried hard to rub the chair's feet against the ground, making a terrible noise. This shocked
everyone in the front row and they turned to look at him.
The others were all from the entertainment industry, so they all knew Carl and were very surprised.
Jessica also turned around. When she saw Carl, there was a quick surprise in her eyes.
"I just dropped by to take a look. Go ahead and do your things."
As Carl said these words, he stared at Jessica. However, because of the distance and the people
between them, no one noticed it.
To his surprise, Jessica was not stunned at all.
He had thought that Jessica would miss him after not seeing him for a week.
Carl pursed his lips and gave a bitter smile.
"Mr. Carl!" A man came forward to greet him.
"Long time no see..."
Even when Carl was talking with this man, he glanced at Jessica from time to time.
Jessica did not walk to him. Instead, she turned around and continued to talk to Jaron.
Thus, Carl lost his patience.
He stood up and walked towards her.
"Jessica, long time no see."
Jessica understood Carl very well, so she could tell from his tone that he was upset.
Jessica looked up at him and said, "Hi, Mr. Carl. It's been so long."
She always called him like this before others.
However, Carl was not pleased to hear this, and he thought it was annoying.
He was never a good-tempered man. He was kind to Jessica because he loved her.
But now, he was very angry.
"Although you have terminated the contract with Tip Top, we have worked together for so many years,
so why didn't you even say hello to me?"
"Jaron and I were talking about the play. Seeing you were talking to that man, I didn't want to interrupt
you, but I didn't expect you to get me wrong." Jessica said in a flat and calm voice, without any anger.
Hearing this, Carl panicked.
"I won't get you wrong. Let's have dinner and talk for a while when you finish, shall we?" Carl's tone
was soft, and he finished his words with "shall we", which was very kind of him to say.
In front of so many people, Jessica knew she couldn't refuse him.
Thus, she replied, "Alright."
"Jessica, let's go!"
One of the staff urged.
"I have to go," Jessica said to Carl.
Carl smiled and said, "Okay."
