Carl entered another elevator. The one Summer and Jessica had been waiting for arrived very quickly.
They entered the elevator car. Then Summer asked Jessica, "What happened to you and Carl?"
"What could happen? He is the boss and I am an employee. Isn't it normal for us to keep a distance from each other?" Jessica stared at her reflection on the elevator wall and said indifferently.
Summer smiled, completely disbelieving Jessica's words. They were quarreling again.
It was more serious this time. No matter how badly they quarreled with each other, Carl would never ignore her. However, just now, Jessica did not look at Carl, nor did Carl look at Jessica.
What were they quarreling over this time? They had been together for so many years, and it seemed that they would never stop. Sometimes outsiders couldn't understand what was going on in a relationship.
Just like that between Carl and Jessica and that between Leonardo and her. Summer's eyes dimmed again when she thought of Leonardo. They didn't speak until they left the company.
They opened the car doors and sat in.
Summer asked Jessica, "Where do you want to go?"
Jessica said indifferently, "Anywhere."
Summer thought for a moment and drove to Golden Cauldron Club.
They were no longer young after all. Now, anything needed deliberate consideration. She had to guarantee that the place they got drunk in was safe.
After arriving at Golden Cauldron Club, Jessica was somewhat dissatisfied, "Why here again?"
"It's good here." Summer said as she untied her seat belt.
They went straight to the bar. There were not guests in the bar at noon.
The bartender also knew Summer and Jessica, and was surprised that they came at noon. However, he still asked enthusiastically, "What would you like?"
They placed their orders. After a few mouthfuls, Jessica started to retch.
Summer hurriedly put down her wine glass, "What's wrong? You didn't eat, right?"
Jessica had a stomach problem. She would definitely feel ill if she didn't eat before drinking.
Jessica's eyes misted over. She shook her head, "No."
Summer immediately took the glass in Jessica's hand, "Stop drinking. Let's go and eat something."
"It's fine. I often do this. I could still drink." Jessica picked up her glass.
"Alcoholic!" Summer patted her head, lightly.
Jessica curled her lips, put down the glass, and left the bar with Summer.
Summer went to see Leonardo at lunch time, thinking that they might talk over lunch. However, when she came to find Leonardo, he was having lunch with Amber.
Now she found herself ridiculous. How could she still not accept the truth? Leonardo was not the same Leonardo as before. He might not even be willing to talk to her over lunch.
After all, Leonardo had already declared that she was irrelevant. Leonardo never spent too much time and energy on irreverent women.
Neither of them had eaten, so they went ahead to eat without a word when the dishes were served.
After that, they could calm down and think straight. Summer no longer wanted to drink, but Jessica still wanted to.
Summer was pulled to the bar by Jessica, "You ate so much. Can you still drink?"
Jessica snorted, "Are you complaining that I ate too much? I can afford it. Why can't I eat so much?"
Summer had nothing to say. She could only follow her to the bar. When they went to the bar just now, there weren't any guests. Now there were a few more. They were a few young boys and girls, at most eighteen or nineteen years old. No teenagers were allowed in Golden Cauldron.
