Predestined Marriage
Chapter 1400 No Brand New Beginning

There were only Jessica and Carl in the large conference room.

Carl sat upright at his desk, staring at Jessica sitting opposite, without saying a word.

Jessica felt her eyes became dry. She blinked her eyes, flexed her neck and said, "Mr. Carl, did you ask me here to play a game with you?"

Carl changed his sitting position, but he was still staring at Jessica.

"You..."

He seemed to have pondered for a long time, but he hesitated because he didn't know what to say.

Jessica chuckled. "Mr. Carl, why are you hesitant to answer my question?"

Carl felt irritated when he heard Jessica calling him "Mr. Carl". He took a deep breath as if he had made up his mind. "Is this the reason why you refuse me?"

"What?" Jessica was stunned for a moment.

She had intended to have a fight with Carl today, because Carl cancelled her announcement once again. However, Carl didn't said anything. Even when he finally did, he asked a question that Jessica found confusing.

Carl felt somewhat embarrassed. He turned his head to the side and reminded Jessica, "Sophia."

He had thought of many reasons why Jessica rejected him, but that she did not like men was never on his list....

Even though he felt ridiculous when he saw it online, he decided to ask Jessica about the truth in person; otherwise, he would be seriously troubled by this matter. Jessica was stunned, thinking that she had misheard.

She looked at Carl in astonishment. "You..."

Carl coughed, trying to hide his embarrassment. He quickly said, "I... I was just asking. I'm sure you are not..."

"OK, I like Sophia. Are you satisfied with my answer?" Jessica said with anger.

Carl said nothing.

Jessica rolled her eyes and cursed him, "Did any dog eat your brain, or did you give your wit to Sivan?"

Carl laughed and said softly, "Don't be angry."

"What happened to the announcement?" Jessica looked away from him.

After seeing her expression, Carl knew what she was thinking.

He explained, "It was not me. It was the company's decision to cancel the announcement."

Jessica was exposed by him, but she did not feel embarrassed. "Fine. If there is nothing else, I'll leave."

"Hold on." Carl stopped her.

Jessica turned around, waiting for him to speak.

Carl looked into her eyes and lowered his voice, as if he was showing weakness. "Your contract will expire in two months. Don't you want to renew it now?" Jessica remained silent for a moment and said very seriously, "No."

When she was leaving, she heard footsteps behind her.

Carl said urgently, "What happened on the set won't happen again. The new contract will be more favorable to you, and you will have a bigger say...." Jessica didn't turn around and said, "Thank you."

What she meant was that she wouldn't change her mind.

Carl stood still and said nothing.

At that time, he asked Jessica to stop so that he could gain Sivan's trust. However, in the end, it made his relationship with Jessica worse.

Back then, he had used some tricks to sign Jessica into the Tip Top Media, thinking that it was a brand new beginning for both of them. However, their relationship had come to an end.☐☐☐☐☐
