Jessica and Carl began to resent each other again.
Summer was as worried as Leonardo. She lowered her voice and whispered, "Carl always acts like this..."
Carl became especially childish when it came to Jessica's things.
He was like a primary school student. He liked Jessica, so he targeted and bullied her.
Leonardo smiled and said, "He deserves it."
Although the shooting was marked by acrimony between Jessica and Carl, it ended smoothly.
As soon as it ended, Jessica called Christopher.
"Miss Jessica?" Christopher sounded somewhat surprised.
Jessica said, "I did 'My Life' today and saw you in my clip."
"Oh..." Christopher smiled and patiently explained, "The crew talked with me. I know about it."
Jessica paused for a moment and said, "I didn't expect you to not mind appearing on camera."
Christopher said frankly, "There aren't many chances to get a wave to ride."
There was no fancy reason. He just wanted to take advantage of Jessica's popularity.
He was so frank that Jessica could not be angry.
"We're even." Last time, Christopher took out the video of the drive recorder to help her. She always felt like she owed him a favor. His appearance in the clip made her feel relaxed.
Christopher didn't say anything. After a moment, he said, "If you need any help, you can ask your agent to contact me."
Jessica chuckled. "Oh? I didn't know that you are so kind-hearted."
