Although Carl tried hard not to visit Jessica all week, he knew where she lived and where she rehearsed for the play.
Therefore, after deciding to visit her, he went to the theatre without any investigation.
When he arrived, Jessica happened to be resting and chatting with a man beside her.
Carl didn't mind this, but what annoyed him was that man.
He was Jaron, whom Jessica had officially announced she was dating.
Before Carl came, he didn't tell anyone inside the theatre. He said that he was passing by and wanted to take a look.
However, the moment he entered, he saw this.
What was worse, Jessica and Jaron were
happily chatting with each other.
Carl thought back, but he couldn't remember when the last time Jessica had smiled at him.
The more he thought about it, the angrier he became.
It was just a rehearsal, so there was no audience. Carl got a chair, sat down in the back row, and deliberately tried hard to rub the chair's feet against the ground, making a terrible noise. This shocked everyone in the front row and they turned to look at him.
The others were all from the entertainment industry, so they all knew Carl and were very surprised.
Jessica also turned around. When she saw Carl, there was a quick surprise in her eyes.
"I just dropped by to take a look. Go ahead and do your things."
As Carl said these words, he stared at Jessica. However, because of the distance and the people between them, no one noticed it.
To his surprise, Jessica was not stunned at all.
He had thought that Jessica would miss him after not seeing him for a week.
Carl pursed his lips and gave a bitter smile.
"Mr. Carl!" A man came forward to greet him.
"Long time no see..."
