"Well... I am not that busy." Carl covered his face with the magazine.
Leonardo laughed.
Carl glanced at him and threw the magazine onto the table.
"Alright. Actually, the script reading should have started now. But Jessica hasn't got off work for many
days. She just returned from abroad last night. As a nice boss, I should let her rest in the morning,
shouldn't I?"
Leonardo smiled at him, "Right. You are a good boss. Will Jessica feel touched if she knows what you
have done for her?"
"Don't let her know about this. And don't tell Summer. If Jessica knows, she will definitely think I haven't
moved on and will laugh at me..."
"So do you still have feelings for her?"
Carl was surprised and didn't answer the question.
At this moment, someone knocked on the door. It was Tim. He brought some documents for Leonardo.
Carl gulped down his coffee and gave the cup to him, "Tim, please refill it."
"Mr. Carl, it's rare to see you here." Tim put down the documents and walked over.
Carl laughed embarrassedly, "I've got something to discuss with Leonardo."
Tim nodded slightly and took the coffee cup.
In the afternoon.
Jessica arrived at the conference room on time.
Several staff members were putting water and refreshments on the desk. They saw Jessica and
greeted her.
"Jessica, you're so early."
"Good afternoon, Jessica."
Jessica picked a seat and sat down, "Good afternoon."
Not long after that, Summer also came. As the scriptwriter, she had to attend the meeting.
"Summer." Jessica waved at her as soon as Summer came in.
Summer sat beside Jessica. She knew Jessica went abroad two days ago, so she asked, "When did
you come back?"
"Around four or five o'clock this morning. I don't remember. I am so tired, and dizzy." Jessica pulled
Summer's arm and leaned against her shoulder.
Summer patted her head and said, "Have a nap. I will wake you up when everyone comes."
Carl didn't come until all the staff and actors arrived.
"Well. Everyone is here." Carl looked around with a smile. He paused when his gaze settled on
Jessica's face.
She looked better after a morning's rest.
Carl looked away and leaned against the chair. He said slowly, "Let's begin."
"That's all for today. See you tomorrow." It was late at night when the meeting ended.
They hadn't finish reading the script because the meeting was put off until afternoon. And they would
continue tomorrow.
Jessica leaned against the back of the chair and casually asked Summer, who was collecting her
things, "Is Leonardo picking you up?"
Summer smiled at her, "Yes."
Jessica laughed and looked at her watch, "It's just eleven p.m. He will be worried if you go home by
yourself. Right?"
"Well..." Summer blushed and said, "He is just like that. He is a little nervous. You know. He worries
about everything."
Jessica laughed and nodded, "Right. I know. I know."
Kalyan walked over and said, "Miss Jessica, Mrs. Emerson, Mr. Carl invites everyone to have dinner
together. Do you want to go?"
Jessica didn't reply immediately, as she wanted to go home and sleep.
Kalyan noticed her hesitation and added, "Everyone will be there."
