Summer chuckled and called the waiter as she pushed the menu before Jessica. “You order.”
Jessica did not hold back, and without a care for the price, she ordered a bunch of dishes that the both of them loved.
After Jessica was finally done ordering, she asked Summer, “What happened to you two last night?”
“How did you know Leonardo came to look for me?” Summer wondered.
“As if I don’t know you guys. Just as you left, the boss chased right after you. That meant he was looking for you, and you must have been waiting for him outside.”
After Jessica finished talking, she broke into a sinister smile. “It’s not that you don’t know, the big boss praised your beauty after you left… Let me imitate the way he spoke last night. Have a look.”
Jessica cleared her throat and slightly lowered her eyes to create a cold expression. She then curled her lips to her side and lowered her voice as she imitated Leonardo’s tone. “That’s my ex-wife. Pretty, right?”
Just as she said that, Jessica could not help but break into laughter. “WAHAHAHA!!! I wanted to laugh when I heard that, but that Amber was also pretty good. She did not flip out on the spot…”
Summer nodded. “Kate’s friend would of course not be a simple character.”
“I do think that the big boss is pretty cool at times.” Jessica then said with a worried face, “However, I think that Amber will definitely look for the big boss again later. She hasn’t even seen her eggs but has already started counting her chicks…”
“Yeah, I know.” Summer sighed. “Well, we finally have a meal together, let’s not talk about those boring stuff.”
Both she and Leonardo had staged something before Kate and Amber.
Kate probably hated her even more now and would definitely try to quickly force Amber onto Leonardo.
Jessica hesitated for a moment before asking, “Any news about Rosie?”
Summer shook her head. “No.”
Jessica sighed as well. “It doesn’t matter what kind of hatred or resentment it is. Stealing a child away? Even a beast would do better.” Jessica would curse every time she mentioned the matter.
Summer was just about to speak, but she keenly felt something as she turned around and looked behind her. That was when she saw a light flashing behind the curtain.
Summer’s expression tightened, and she said with a deep voice, “Paparazzi.”
“Sh*t, I don’t have my makeup on.” Jessica quickly picked up her cap and put it on her head before she pulled a good part of her hair to cover her face, peering to the left and right. “Where?”
Summer pointed out at the door’s curtain. “There, but I don’t know where that person is now.”
“Sh*t, they’re really pervasive. I’m just a second-line actor, why are they after me?” Jessica said with a conflicted expression.
Didn’t she just say that she was taking the powerhouse route?
Summer cleared her throat and awkwardly said, “Perhaps they’re after me.”
“… I never thought you to be a narcissist,” Jessica blurted out.
Summer’s tone was serious. “After all, I’ve been on the hot search many times now.”
Jessica pondered a little and found it pretty convincing. “In that case, they probably didn’t take my photo, then?”
Looking into Jessica’s eyes, Summer comforted her. “Probably?”
That afternoon, Summer found herself on the hot search again.
“Young Master Emerson’s ex-wife meets a secret friend in a restaurant.”
Even a topic like that could go on the hot search?
Did she have the legendary innate hot-search trait?
However, the hot search was mainly for “Young Master Emerson”, proving that Summer did not have the innate hot-search trait. She was only the topic of attention because of Leonardo.
Since the photo had been taken secretly, it was not clear at all, and the picture of Jessica sitting opposite her had also fortunately, not been taken clearly.
“Actually, I think Young Master Emerson’s ex-wife is quite a looker…”
“She’s that scriptwriter Rosie? With that face, forget about screenwriting, she should be making a debut.”
“Doesn’t anyone think that the woman sitting opposite her looks a bit familiar? Seems like a star.”
“That’s normal. Rosie is also part of the entertainment industry now, it’s no surprise if she knows a star or two…”
Summer was barely a few posts in when she received a call from Jessica.
Jessica was indignant on the phone. “Those paparazzi were after you! And no one recognized me! I’m doubting life right now. I am, after all, an actress with over nine million fans…”
Jessica’s fans had already gone from eight to nine million.
Summer smiled. “It’d be better if they didn’t recognize you.”
She had been trending for so many times now and had gotten used to it.
However, most of the comments about her by the netizens were not positive, and Jessica was now on the rise. if Jessica was dragged into the hot search, it could harm her.
Jessica understood what Summer meant, but she still angrily said, “You’re so boring, and I don’t care.”
“Well, I care.” She had already made a mess of herself, and she hoped that Jessica would stay out of it.
…
Eliza naturally knew that Summer was trending again, and she called to tease her.
Summer went through her Weibo again and found that her fan count had increased once more.
She recalled the time when Leonardo appeared as the founder, XN of Tip Top Entertainment. The speed in which his fan count increased was rocket fast.
If Leonardo really wanted to break into the entertainment world, he would be really popular.
Thinking of that, Summer remembered that she had not called Leonardo today.
The matter with yester, while Summer was angry that Leonardo did not answer her phone; after that, she felt that Leonardo seemed to have less sense of security than her, emotionally.
Besides, she could take the opportunity to ask if he had obtained Michael’s hair.
Summer called Leonardo’s number.
After the line was connected, it rang a few times before Leonardo answered the call.
Leonardo’s voice was as deep as ever. “I’ve gotten his hair and sent someone to do a paternity DNA test.”
Summer did not expect him to tell her that as soon as he spoke.
Since he had already told her everything, Summer could only ask, “Are you nervous?”
“Why should I be?” Leonardo paused and said, “Many things are traceable, and finding someone to do a paternity DNA test is just making sure of things.”
Hearing Leonardo’s tone, it was as if he had already expected it.
“You knew from the beginning?”
“I had my suspicions, but because it felt a little too absurd, I didn’t investigate further.” Leonardo’s voice was still very calm.
Summer thought about it, and Leonardo would definitely not have been as calm as he was currently when he initially made his guess.
Summer then asked him, “When will the results be out?”
There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone, and Summer could feel Leonardo’s tone grow a little heavier. “The soonest, tomorrow.”
…
The next afternoon, Summer went over to Leonardo’s apartment.
Since she had already told Michael earlier, she now wanted to cook Leonardo a meal to gain his affection and learn about Rosie’s whereabouts. Hence, she had to act the part.
