Seeing Leonardo's face, Summer realized that something was wrong with Jessica.
"I'm done. I have some work, so I'll leave first. Take your time and I'll see you later." Jessica said to Summer in her gentle tone.
Summer didn't ask any questions but said, "Okay."
After Jessica left, Summer and Leonardo walked inside.
"Do you know what happened to Jessica?" Summer was worried.
Leonardo said, "Nothing big."
"You know that!" Summer glanced at him angrily.
Leonardo chuckled and said softly, "If something happened and she can't handle it well, I'm sure she will tell you, right?"
Summer agreed, "Yes, that makes sense."
"Carl?"
While they were talking, Leonardo looked up and saw Carl.
"Are you here for dinner?" Carl stopped and greeted them absently. He kept looking outside.
It was obvious that he was chasing after Jessica.
"Yes."
Summer was about to tell Carl that Jessica had just left, but Leonardo stopped her and said, "What a coincidence. Let's have dinner together."
He was definitely doing it on purpose...
Summer didn't believe that Leonardo could not tell that Carl was in a hurry to chase after Jessica.
As a friend, he shouldn't stop Carl.
Carl would cut him off sooner or later, she thought.
"I have an emergency. Let's make it next time." Carl said as he was about to remove Leonardo's hand.
Leonardo smiled and said, "Maybe we can't meet on such an occasion next time."
Carl finally realized something, "Leonardo, did you do it on purpose?"
"Yes." Leonardo let go of him and said, "She had just left. Go get her."
