"Miss Jessica has a silver tongue. I am far inferior to you. Since you said we have known each other for
so many years, why can't you just be honest? Your contract with Tip Top Media will expire next year.
I'm afraid you've already found a new employer."
Carl looked at Jessica with a scowl.
He already knew what kind of woman she was. She was a heartless master of disguise.
Hearing this, Jessica was stunned. If Carl didn't mention it, she almost forgot that her contract with Tip
Top Media was about to expire.
From the beginning, Carl talked to her with hostility.
Having just recovered from the fever, Jessica found it hard to talk to him. She felt quite tired.
Without the intention to face off against him anymore, she said impatiently, "Don't think everyone is as
stingy as you."
Then she intended to leave the meeting room.
Since she had handed over her work to Sivan, there was nothing else for her to do next. So she
wanted to go home to have a rest.
Carl's words reminded her that since the contract was due to expire next year, she would not sign a
contract with any company after that. At worst, she could start her own business.
If she stayed in Tip Top Media, they would have endless quarrels.
When Jessica passed by him, Carl suddenly stood up and held her hand.
"I'm not only stingy, but also stupid." Standing behind her, he said in depression, "I've been waiting for
you to beg me these days. I would feel better even if you got angry at me."
If she did so, it meant she still cared about him. And she minded that he gave her resources to Sivan.
But she didn't. She accepted it without complaints.
Carl felt like a fool. She didn't care about him, let alone anything he did!
After a while, Jessica said coldly, "Is there anything else I can do, Mr. Carl?"
Carl suddenly took Jessica into his arms. He said angrily with red eyes, "Jessica, how heartless you
are!"
His behavior panicked her, but she quickly calmed down. "Mr. Carl, please behave yourself."
At this moment, someone suddenly opened the door of the meeting room.
"Carl, I heard you're still in the meeting room. Would you like to have lunch..." When Sivan saw they
hugged together, her face changed. "You..."
Jessica did not expect Sivan to come in. She broke loose from Carl and walked out without giving
Sivan a look.
However, Sivan did not let her go.
She stopped Jessica, "Jessica, do you know Carl is my boyfriend?"
Jessica ignored Sivan and intended to bypass her. Unexpectedly, Sivan reached out her hand, and
gave Jessica a slap.
The hard slap broke the silence in the meeting room.
Jessica was slapped hard defenselessly. She stared at Sivan with a cold face.
Although Jessica did not say a word, Sivan was scared back several steps by her cold eyes.
It was out of Carl’s expectation that Sivan dared to slap Jessica. He subconsciously took two steps
forward but stopped.
Jessica never cared about him.
Even if he helped her, she would not be grateful. She would probably think he was disgusting.
Sivan was a little afraid after slapping Jessica because she was Carl's ex-girlfriend. But now, noticing
that Carl had no reaction, she felt relieved.
She ran to Carl and said with tears in her eyes, "I'm sorry, Carl. I was just too angry when I saw you
two hugged together."
