Abby was not stupid. She knew Jessica did not accept her apology.
When Abby became Jessica's agent, she thought Jessica had great potential in the industry.
After all, Jessica was a good actress, who was pretty and got Carl at her back. She would become a super star soon. The only problem was that Jessica was very arrogant and not easy to get along with. But it surprised Abby that Jessica was very nice and trusted her very much.
It was Abby's fault that she disappointed Jessica.
"I won't be your agent anymore. But you can come to me at any time if you need my help." Abby knew her apologies couldn't fix anything, so she tried hard to show her kindness.
Jessica was stunned and looked up at Abby.
Abby sighed, "Mr. Carl will be in charge of your work from now on."
A hint of mockery flashed through Jessica's eyes. "He's pretty quick on that matter."
Jessica had thought that Carl would take over her work, but she did not expect that he would replace Abby so quickly.
"Jessica..."
Jessica interrupted Abby, "I'm not angry with you. I know you have your concerns. But I have to go now."
Abby looked depressed as she saw Jessica leaving.
Jessica went back to her apartment to get changed. Then she drove to the jewelry store and bought a birthday present for Mrs. Jones.
Yesterday, Mr. Jones posted her new coat on her WeChat Moments. Jessica saw it and picked a pair of earrings for Mr. Jones to match her
coat.
The Hicks and Jones were old friends and neighbors. When Jessica drove back, she went straight to the Jones' instead of going back home.
Before Jessica went into the house, she heard lots of people talking inside, noisy but cozy.
Carl's parents and Jessica's parents would invite many friends on their birthday. Perhaps people enjoyed gathering together when they grew older.
