Predestined Marriage
Chapter 136: Keen to Go Against Him

Tip Top Media Company.

When Leonardo returned to his office, he instructed his secretary, "Ask Mr. Carl to come over."

Leonardo had his own private elevator in the company and came straight upstairs from the parking lot. Other than the secretary, only the senior managers had seen him in the company.

The senior managers knew that he was the boss behind Tip Top Media Company, but they did not know that he was Leonardo.

Only Adams, Warren and Carl knew that he was Leonardo and that he was the boss behind Tip Top.

When Summer left the Golden Cauldron Club this morning, she should have seen Carl and Warren.

Because of his profession, Warren was very cautious.

Then Carl should be the one who failed to keep the secret.

After a while, the secretary called Leonardo back, "Mr. Carl's secretary said that he was away on business, and that he was already at the airport."

Even on the phone, the silence made the secretary feel oppressive. Her voice got lower and lower.

When she heard Leonardo sneer, she couldn't help but shiver.

"I see. Have someone call Jessica over."

Leonardo put down the phone and waited for Jessica to come up.

Carl's habit of escaping after doing something wrong had never changed.

Not long after, Jessica came up.

When Jessica knocked on the door, she felt a little strange. Just now, someone said that the big boss of Tip Top wanted something from her. Her first thought was that it must be Carl, so she directly refused. The secretary reminded her, "It's the boss of Tip Top, not Mr. Carl Jones."

Was Carl just an employee?

"Come in."

The deep voice from inside was a little familiar.

Jessica pushed the door open in confusion. When she saw Leonardo's face clearly, her eyes widened in an instant.

"... Leonardo?"

Leonardo said in a deep voice, "Miss Jessica Hicks."

With Summer's description, Jessica also found Leonardo terrifying.

To her surprise, he was her boss!

Although his expression was normal, Jessica still felt somewhat afraid. She bowed to Leonardo deeply and loudly said, "Yes, sir!"

Her tone was filled with blandishment.

Leonardo raised his eyebrows. Summer and her friend were truly different.

Summer was afraid of him, but she rarely tried to please him. Instead, she seemed to prefer to go against him.

Leonardo said calmly, "I have a favor to ask of you."

Jessica was flattered. Summer said that this man was tough, but he seemed good-tempered.

"As long as I can do it, even ten favors will be fine."

Leonardo seemed to be satisfied with her answer, his expression relaxed. "I'm out of touch with Carl. Help me call and ask him where he is."

Was that all?

Jessica thought it should be something more important.

Although she had never contacted Carl in recent years, she had all of his contact information.

After all, Carl was always able to enter every corner of her life.

He always gave her money on Alipay and used his smurf as her loyal follower on Weibo. When her new movie came out, he would make a block booking. Jessica first called the number he used to call her recently, but his phone was off.

Then she called the number he had used when he was still a student. They never contacted each other again after that incident.

She wasn't sure if he was still using it.

Jessica dialed the phone and with a single ring, Carl's excited voice sounded, "Jessica!"

Jessica pretended not to recognize the excitement in his tone and asked, "Where are you, Carl?"

"I'm at the airport!"

The next moment, Carl suddenly asked, "Jessica, what's up?"

Over the years, Jessica had hardly taken the initiative to contact him. He felt that something must have happened to Jessica.

"It's fine. Boss said that he couldn't replace you and let me help him contact you." After Jessica finished speaking, she said to Leonardo, "He said he was at the airport." Somehow, Carl scolded, "F**k!"

Then, Leonardo's phone rang.

Leonardo did not answer the phone in a hurry. Instead, he looked at Jessica and said, "Thank you. You can go first."

Jessica walked to the door and heard Leonardo say, "I've seen your film. Among the new recruits in the company, you have the most potential."

Leonardo was very cautious and serious about his work. When Carl wanted to sign Jessica into the company, he saw a film of Jessica.

Work was no joke, which he never mixed with personal emotion.

Jessica indeed had great potential.

Receiving Leonardo's commendation, Jessica was a little excited, "I will work hard!"

Not long after Jessica left, Carl returned.

He pushed open the door and rushed in. His head was covered in sweat. He looked like he had just run over, more than worried.

"Where's Jessica?" Carl ran to his desk.

"She's gone."

Carl was even more anxious when he got the answer, "Where did she go? What did you do to her?"

"What can I do to her? I just ask her to call you and let her go." Leonardo said casually, his tone extremely innocent.

"Fuck! You cheated me!" Carl suddenly fell into a chair and said, "Damn, I'm scared to death!"

He had known Leonardo for a long time and knew how ruthless Leonardo was. Therefore, when he heard that he went to Jessica, he was so scared that he immediately ran back.

Leonardo looked at him, expressionless, "Tell the truth."

In the end, Carl was forced by Leonardo's threat to tell him what had happened this morning.

He thought that Leonardo would want to beat him up, but Leonardo didn't. But the result wasn't much better than beating him up.

"There is no vacation for you next year. Work hard." After Leonardo finished speaking, he coldly added insult on injuries, "Anyway, as a rising artist, Jessica wouldn't fall in love with you. Single men have to work hard."

Carl gritted his teeth and said, "Let's break it up!"

Leonardo wasn't angry at all and even smiled, "Jessica hasn't got a new agent yet."

Carl became intimidated immediately and suppressed his anger, "I ... I am willing to work hard!"

"Then I'll leave Jessica to you." The smile on Leonardo's face deepened.

Carl muttered, "You wily old fox!"

The Jarrett Group did a crisis PR move about Adams.

However, because Adams was too famous with many fans, this crisis PR was useless.

The Jarrett Group couldn't resist the pressure at all.

It was obvious to all that the Jarrett Group had been languishing in recent years.

The social relationships that Lynn's father had built up in the past did not offer any help after the Jarrett Group had gone through all these things.

Summer found an opportunity to say to Lynn, "Dad, how about letting Grandpa return home?"☐☐☐☐☐☐
