Chapter 997 Complain to Him

Jessica was followed by her agent, assistant and some other employees of the company. They all
nodded to greet Carl.

"Mr. Carl."

"Mr. Carl."

Carl put his hands behind his back and nodded. He scanned the surroundings and finally fixed his gaze
on Jessica.

Jessica probably just returned from an outdoor shooting, and she was still wearing gorgeous makeup.
But she looked somewhat tired. She leaned leisurely against the wall and crossed her arms. She
exchanged glances with Carl and then looked away.

Carl pursed his lower lip in displeasure. Jessica didn't even give him a single glance, so he wouldn't
show excessive passion to her cold face. Therefore, he did not intend to talk to Jessica. Instead, he
asked Jessica's agent, "Did you just come back from an outdoor shooting?"

Carl and Jessica had never had an affair. In the company, they had little contact. Although the
relationship between them did not seem to be special, people in the entertainment industry wouldn't let
any detail go.

Experienced ones could tell that the company intended to make Jessica popular. This alone was not
enough to convince people that Jessica's relationship with Carl was not simple.

As long as it was an artist with great potential, the company would basically invest on her. Once she
had fans and could make profits, the company would spare no effort to take advantage of the value of
her and use her as a cash cow.



In the past few years, because of both Jessica's personality and her roles in the drama, she had many
fans. Along with it, there were many endorsements and film shooting for her.

Many bad scripts, as well as products with negative news, wouldn't reach her agent because the
company would reject it. Moreover, once Jessica was involved in something, there would be a higher-
up looking for her agent.

The agent was personally assigned to Jessica by Carl, but at that time, the agent only thought he
wanted to nurture Jessica. But after such a long time, Jessica was still like a pure lily. She would never
be involved in any negative news, and her schedule was never full, even though her popularity was so
high.

How could this be to nurture Jessica? He clearly took Jessica as the apple of his eye. Hence, after
listening to Carl's words, the agent thought carefully for a moment and said cautiously, "Everything
went smoothly, except a small incident."

The agent spoke in a brief manner, but the information that should have been disclosed was
mentioned.

When Jessica heard the agent's words, she knew the agent purposely said this to Carl. Something had
indeed happened during the filming, otherwise, they could have come back earlier. However, this was a
small matter for Jessica.

Why did she have to involve Carl because of such a trivial matter? It was as if she was complaining to
him.

It was improper for Jessica to say anything in front of everyone. She just pulled the corner of her
mouth. Sure enough, Carl frowned when he heard this.



Just as he was about to speak, Leonardo called again. Carl took out his phone and looked at it. He
raised his head and smiled, "Thank you."

He smiled on the surface, but at the bottom of his heart, he was cursing. Leonardo would only be
patient in important matters or anything related to Summer.

He just talked for a while, yet Leonardo called to urge him. He sighed. It was irritating, but he didn't
dare to curse.

Carl took his phone and left. Until no one could see him, he answered the phone, "I'm coming."

"If I don't see you in a minute, I will leave." The voice on the phone was emotionless.

Carl was lost for words.
