Predestined Marriage novel Chapter 182

After talking about her resignation with Leonardo, Summer thought for a while and decided to resign.

She just did some ordinary clerical work in the Jarrett Group like printing documents and organizing materials. The work had nothing to do with her major. It was just a waste of time to continue working in the Jarrett Group.

Summer did not delay after making the decision.

Summer wrote her resignation letter quickly and handed it to Alexander as soon as she went to work.

Ever since Alexander returned, he had been in charge of the company, and all the decision about the company, no matter big or small, had to be made by him.

This meant Lynn had no real power in the company.

Summer pushed the door open and entered Alexander's office. She put the resignation letter on his desk and said, "Grandpa."

Alexander raised his head and looked at the letter of resignation. After pondering for a moment, he said, "What do you mean?"

"As you can see, I want to resign. Please approve, Mr. Jarret." Summer looked at him calmly, her voice as calm as her expression.

"Sit down." Alexander pointed at the chair across the desk.

Summer sat down.

After Alexander returned, he had had a lot of contact with Summer, but this was the first time he had looked at her carefully.

When he went abroad, Summer was only seven years old. She was a pretty little girl with excellent grades. She was very pleasing when she called him grandfather obediently.

However, his thoughts were feudal and old-fashioned. After all, Karen was the second wife of his son. In his heart, he loved Vicky and her brother more, so he didn't pay much attention to Summer.

In the following years, he occasionally got some information of Summer, and he felt that his thoughts were really correct.

However, when he came back and saw Summer, he realized that everything was different from what he had imagined.

Vicky, whom he had loved since childhood, had been spoiled badly.

However, Summer, who had been ignored by him, was at the center of the Jarretts' crisis.

Summer looked into Alexander's eyes. She was neither humble nor arrogant. She was much better than Vicky.

He had expended so much effort to make Vicky get married with Leonardo, but Vicky had given this opportunity to Summer.

He could tell that Summer was a smart and calm girl. She was a very thoughtful person. One of the characteristics of such people was that she was not easy to control.

Alexander withdrew his gaze and glanced at the resignation letter in front of him. He asked her, "Why do you want to resign?"

"The job I'm doing is not suitable for my major. Furthermore, I'm idle and useless in the Jarrett Group."

After Summer said these words, she felt a little surprised. After staying in the Jarrett Group for a long time, she actually knew how to say such superficial courtesies.

"What are you talking about? You are from the Jarretts. You work in your family's company. How can you be useless?" Alexander's tone and expression were very serious.

Summer narrowed her eyes and thought about the meaning of his words carefully.

Alexander's words clearly indicated that he did not want Summer to leave.

Summer couldn't understand why Alexander didn't let her resign.

...

She failed to resign.

After leaving Alexander's office, Summer received a phone call from Leonardo.

She picked up the phone and went to the corner to answer it.

"Did he approve?" Leonardo's voice came from the phone. It was low and calm, making her relieved.

Summer originally thought that Alexander would directly approve, but in the end, she was disappointed. Now that she heard Leonardo's voice, her tone couldn't help but reveal a trace of grievance. "No."

Leonardo was silent for a moment. It seemed that he was thinking about something.

"I'll pick you up after work."

"Okay."

Summer hung up the phone and realized what Leonardo was going to do. She felt that Leonardo didn't just want to pick her up, but to help her deal with her resignation.

Suddenly, she felt that she also had someone to rely on and got a sense of pride.

Summer went back to the cubicle and had nothing to do, so she just logged in her WeChat.

Just as she logged in, she received streams of screenshots.

They were sent by Jessica.

It was Leonardo's comments using Carl's account on Weibo, as well as people's speculation about Adams and Carl's relationship.

Summer looked at it several times before and checked the comments of Carl's account on Weibo. It was real!

The trending topic has changed from "Adams' mysterious girlfriend" to "Adams and Carl."

Adams was really famous and influential on Weibo. In just a few hours, there were several hashtags about Adams and Carl.

When she checked her WeChat, she received a message from Jessica. "I know that Carl hasn't changed!"

"Carl used to like men?" Summer was shocked.

She thought of how Leonardo had exploited Carl, and how Carl was willing to do whatever Leonardo asked him to do. Suddenly, she became a little worried.

Carl didn't have affections towards Leonardo, did he?

Jessica was busy scolding Carl, sending her messages one after another and directly ignoring Summer's question.

Because of this, Summer spent the entire afternoon in a state of bewilderment and nervousness.

When she was about to finish working, she received a phone call from Leonardo.

"I'm at the Jarrett Group now."

As soon as it was time to get off work, Summer took her bag quickly and went downstairs.

Leonardo's car was parked in the car park across the building of her company. She could see his cold face from the car window.

Summer ran over, opened the door and sat in the car.

Leonardo turned around to look at her, his face expressionless as always. He reached out to tidy Summer's bangs that were blown up by the wind.

Summer was puzzled all afternoon, but when she finally saw Leonardo, she didn't know what to say.

She hesitated and said, "What do you think of Carl?"

"Carl?" Leonardo seemed to ponder for a moment and said, "He have a temper, but his working ability is not bad."

Leonardo praised him!

Summer's heart tightened. "Were his previous scandal girlfriends real or fake?"

"Fake." Seeing that Summer had been asking about Carl, Leonardo's expression became a little strange.

The scandals were fake? Those must be a cover-up for the fact that he liked men.

Summer's expression changed. "Then he..."

"Summer." Leonardo interrupted Summer in a deep voice.

Hearing this, Summer stopped and looked up at Leonardo.

He narrowed his eyes and said, "Ever since you got in the car, you've been talking about another man with me."

"I just..."

Leonardo said expressionlessly, "I'll give you three seconds to please me."

Three seconds?
