"You sent me a letter to terminate the contract and that's it? Jessica, you are 28 years old. Come on!"
"When will you group up?"
Carl drove home in a hurry last night, but Jessica was not at home.
This morning, he asked his mother to call the Hicks' to check it for him. Only then did he know that Jessica had returned to the city early in the morning, and then Carl came back as well.
He hid at the entrance for a long time, thinking about how to face Jessica. Then she came out, but he didn't know what to say, so he followed her all the way here.
It was funny that they used to talk about everything, but now he had to think seriously about it before talking to her.
Jessica picked up some kind of vegetables and smiled, "Yeah, you're a grown-up man. You're mature."
Carl narrowed his eyes and said faintly, "Jessica, do you think I'm disturbing you?" He sounded somewhat strange. Jessica couldn't help but look at him. "What are you talking about?"
Carl's expression became serious. "You want to end the contract, because you don't want to see me again, right?"
Hearing this, Jessica was surprised. She lowered her head and remained silent.
Carl took it as her consent and continued, "Over the years, you've been rejecting me and avoiding me. You've said a lot of heartless words to me. I have self-esteem. You've made your point, and do you think I will pester you again?"
He noticed Jessica's eyelids trembled slightly,
which was a sign of emotional fluctuations.
"Don't worry, I won't pester you in the future. After all, we've known each other for so many years. Our families have known each other for a long time, too. Though we can't be together, we can still be friends. As for business ..."
Carl paused for a moment and continued, "You know Tip Top Media's resources are the best in the industry."
