Summer Sweetheart novel (Leonardo and Summer)
Chapter 1616: He Couldn't Know What She Was Thinking

When Jessica went backstage to prepare herself, a woman asked, "It seems you have a good relationship with Mr. Carl."

"After all, we grew up together and I have worked in his company for many years." Jessica casually said and didn't want to talk about it.

However, that woman didn't get what Jessica implied, but continued, "Given you have known each other since childhood, and both of you are single. Why not try to date each other?"

Before Jessica could reply, another woman said, "It depends on fate. If they truly have a connection with each other, they would have got married a long time ago. However, they didn't, so they don't like each other..."

"You're right. My cousin and her husband grew up together and graduated from the same high school, so they have been married for many years."

"Really? Such kind of marriage is truly enviable..."

"Of course."

Jessica lowered her head and quietly listened to their words.

What they said made sense.

Those who truly had a connection with each other must have been married a long time ago.

She and Carl had known each other for so many years, and if they were destined to be together, they would be married now.

This was all life was about.

However, she didn't understand.

Or maybe she was unwilling to understand.

Most people were too stubborn to give up.

Almost everyone had a natural and emotional predisposition to be adamant.

...

During the rehearsal, Jessica was not herself.

She tried her best to keep herself focused so as not to cause trouble for the others.

The teacher told that she was a little jumpy. Therefore, when she was changing clothes backstage, the teacher patted her shoulder and said, "You can tell anything to me as you like." "Alright, thank you." Jessica said yes, but she would not tell anyone about it.

She thought she had figured it out and knew what to do.

After slowly removing the makeup, Jessica was the last one to leave the dressing room, and there were only a few people left in the theatre.

As soon as she came out, she smelled smoke.

She looked up and saw it was Carl leaning against the wall and smoking a cigarette.

It seemed Carl was thinking seriously about something. When he realized Jessica came out, he hurriedly stubbed the cigarette.

"Okay, here we go." He looked a little guilty when he stubbed the cigarette, like a child who had done something wrong.

It occurred to Jessica that she had asked him not to smoke.

"It's fine. If you want to smoke, just do it." She looked at him calmly and said.

Her eyes were calm and emotionless.

Carl somehow felt that he couldn't know what she was thinking, which began to annoy him.

"I don't want to smoke anymore," He said in an angry tone.

"Okay, whatever." Jessica started to walk out, "What are we going to eat?"

Carl walked behind, looked at her thin back, and frowned, "Are you busy this week?"

When he saw her last time, he felt that Jessica was thin. And this time, she looked much thinner.

He almost doubted she didn't eat anything when rehearsing.

She was always skinny and liked to eat. As an actress, she often had a diet plan, but the plan was not as harsh as other actresses'.

"Not very." Jessica walked ahead and replied in a flat voice.☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
