"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!
