Predestined Marriage novel Chapter 162

After the meeting, Carl followed Leonardo to the president's office.

Carl placed the documents on the desk and left without saying anything.

"Carl."

Leonardo suddenly stopped him.

Carl looked up at him with a puzzled expression, "Is there anything else?"

"Go back and rest." Leonardo knew that Carl had been working overtime in the company for several days.

Carl directly rejected him, "No. I like working."

Warren just happened to push the door open. He came in and heard what Carl said.

Even a serious man like Warren was surprised. Since when did Carl like to work? Was Carl crazy?

"I’ll go back to my office." Carl turned to look at Warren and patted his shoulder as a greeting.

Warren looked at Carl until Carl disappeared from the door. Then Warren asked Leonardo, "What happened to him?"

"Crazy."

Leonardo looked down at the documents on the desk. He replied casually. No one knew whether he was talking about Carl or himself.

Leonardo was in a bad mood these days.

Was Summer determined to continue arguing with him?

Warren noticed that although was looking at the documents, he was not really paying attention to them and was thinking about something else.

Warren was confused. He had just returned from a business trip. Why did both of them become so strange?

He sat down beside Leonardo's desk. "It's weekend. Don’t work. Let's go out and drink."

...

After sending Adams and Douglas off, Summer received a phone call from Jessica.

"Did you remember the director I’ve mentioned before? The director wants to meet you. I happen to be free today. Let's have afternoon tea together."

Summer immediately replied, "OK."

The director was at the Golden Cauldron Club, so the place for afternoon tea was set at the Golden Cauldron Club.

Leonardo had become a workaholic. He worked overtime crazily every day, so Summer shouldn't meet him in the Golden Cauldron Club.

Summer felt relieved thinking of this.

Summer and Jessica met at the entrance of the Golden Cauldron Club.

Jessica seemed to have participated in a program. She was wearing delicate makeup, looking a bit tired.

Summer asked with concern, "Have you been tired lately?"

Jessica walked inside and said, "It was fine. I have a lot of work, but I can handle it."

Her recent work wasn't very good, but it was suitable for her. She didn't know if it was because of Leonardo or not. Maybe Leonardo had arranged that because of her good attitude towards him.

As they spoke, they entered the private room.

After waiting for a long time, the director still didn't come.

"Why doesn't he come? I will call him to ask." Jessica called him, but he didn't answer.

They waited for two hours.

Jessica ran out of patience and stood up. "I'll find him out. We made the appointment. Why did he still not come?"

Summer actually didn't mind. In show business, most of the famous directors were arrogant.

However, she couldn't convince Jessica and worried about her, so she could only follow Jessica.

The Golden Cauldron Club was big, but the dining area and the entertainment area were separate, so they only needed to look for the director on the dining area.

Once the range is narrowed, it's quicker to find him.

Not long after, they found the director.

Someone just happened to come out of a private room and Jessica saw the director from the half-open door at once.

Summer looked inside and saw a familiar figure: Laura.

Last time in the bar, Laura lost her face. She was taken to detention by the police for 24 hours and was fired by the Tip Top Media Company. It could be said that she lost everything.

Laura was wearing very little. She was leaning close to the director and pouring wine for him. She saw Jessica and Summer when she looked up unexpectedly.

Laura froze for a moment. Then a smug look soon appeared on her face. She leaned over to the director intimately and said something. The director looked up at Jessica and Summer.

Laura got up and walked out.

When Laura came up to them, Summer could smell the strong fragrance on her body.

Summer frowned and took half a step back. She could not get used to the smell.

Laura did not notice what Summer did and focused on Jessica.

She ran her hand through her hair and said in a gentle voice, "Are you here to meet Director Oscar? He asked you to go in and have a seat. You could just talk here. He's busy."

The director's name was Oscar. He was introduced to Jessica by someone else. It said that he was famous and the movies he shot were not bad.

Jessica had cooperated with Oscar a few times before. She felt that he was a nice person, so she introduced Summer to him. To her surprise, Oscar had affairs with Laura!

Jessica refused directly, "There's no need. We got other things."

But Laura did not let her go. "Jessica, you don't have the guts to go in? What are you afraid of?"

Laura had makeup caked on her face. When she laughed, she looked disgusted.

"I'm afraid that you burn my eyes. You’ve slept with many men. Aren't you afraid of getting sick?" Jessica retorted. Laura had nothing to argue back

They’ve already had a falling-out. Jessica didn't even bother to respect her on the surface.

Laura gritted her teeth, "Don't be too proud too early. Do you think you can always be this lucky because of Mr. Carl? You will be in trouble."

Jessica’s expression changed when Laura mentioned Carl, but she calmed down really soon. "This should be for you. After hooking up with so many married men, their wives will teach you a lesson!"

"You! I will take revenge on you!" Laura’s face turned pale, but she couldn’t she say anything else harsh.

Jessica didn't take her threats seriously at all. Summer stared at Laura for a while and said, "Apart from having someone taking photos of Jessica, what else do you want to do next?"

Laura looked at Summer and denied, "I don't understand what you said."

"It doesn't matter whether you admit it or not. You know well that what I was talking about. Now Jessica is the artist of the Tip Top Media Company, and Mr. Carl cares about her. Think twice before you act."

Summer said all this with a smile and her voice was calm as if she was just chatting, but her words triggered fear in the bottom of Laura’s heart.

Last time in the bar, Laura saw what Carl was capable of.

Although Laura was not that famous, she was still popular and she had commercial value to the company. However, Carl just terminated her contract without a word.
