Summer took a taxi to Adams' community.
At the entrance of the community, she called Adams.
Adams answered the phone very quickly. He sounded like he had just finished exercising for he was panting, "Wait for five minutes."
Adams really came out in five minutes.
He smiled warmly like an elder brother next door in a black sportswear, with his hair slightly wet.
When he looked at Summer, the smile on his face deepened.
He waved to Summer, "Summer, come with me."
After saying that, he seemed to realize that it might be improper, so he asked her apologetically, "Since you call me Adams in keeping with Leonardo, can I call you Summer?"
Summer choked on his words and nodded awkwardly, "OK."
Adams took Summer to his house and took a pair of disposable slippers from the shoe cabinet for her.
"It's a bit messy. The cleaner has something to do this week, so she didn't come over. I'm too busy to clean up." Adams explained to her as they walked inside.
Actually, the room was neat and tidy, in which the things were just placed in a disorderly manner.
Summer smiled and didn't say anything.
Adams took her to the sofa and sat her down. Then, he poured her a glass of water. "I was abroad for a period of time, and there's nothing at home except for water. Help yourself."
"It's okay. Thank you." In fact, Summer and Adams were not very familiar with each other, so she was still a little uncomfortable sitting in his house like this.
She took a sip of water, explaining why she was here today. "Did you agree to endorse the products of the Jarrett Group?"
"Yes, I did. But the contract hasn't been signed yet." Adams sat down opposite her and smiled gently, "Did the Jarrett Group send you over to discuss about the contract with me?"
"Yes." Summer laughed and put down the cup in her hand, "Are you sure you want to endorse for the Jarrett Group?"
"I'm not sure, and that's why they sent you to talk to me." Adams' casual manner was somewhat similar to Leonardo's.
Summer was struck dumb for a moment.
How could cousins look so alike?
"However, you don't seem to agree with me taking their endorsement." Adams' smiling eyes were filled with wisdom.
"That's not true. Although I'm a Jarrett, I have to admit that if you take the endorsement of the Jarrett Group, it will have a bad impact on your acting career."
Adams leaned back gently and narrowed his eyes, actually a bit like Leonardo.
However, his tone was not as gloomy as Leonardo's. He was still very gentle, "Are you so honest with everyone?"
Summer somehow didn't know what to say.
Suddenly, he suppressed the smile on his face and said with a serious expression, "Don't be too kind, or you will be bullied by Leonardo."
Summer felt that Adams had said too much today.
Hearing Leonardo's name from Adams' mouth, Summer was taken aback for a moment. "Little Douglas is also quite afraid of him. Does he like to bully people?" Summer was really curious.
Adams paused and said, "No, at least until he was eleven years old, he was a very obedient child."
Very obedient.
It was extremely strange to describe Leonardo with these words.
It wasn't until Summer left that she remembered that the purpose of her visit to Adams today was to talk about endorsements. However, they chewed the fat and forgot about the endorsements.
