Predestined Bride

Because Jessica was coming back, Summer was in a good mood all day.

There were a lot of things going on in the company, so Vicky didn’t pick on her.

Before she got off work, Summer called Tim and told him not to pick her up, because she had an appointment with a friend for dinner.

After leaving the Jarrett Group, Summer remembered she had to cook for “Douglas”.

She stood by the roadside and took out her phone to call “Douglas”.

The phone was connected after a single ring.

“What is it?”© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

Douglas’ voice was a little low, and it sounded even more inviting on the phone.

Summer was accustomed to his voice, but she was still distracted and said, “Are you going home for dinner tonight?”

“What else?” he asked.

Summer explained to him patiently, “I have an appointment with a friend for dinner tonight.”

After a moment of silence, his voice faintly sounded, revealing an inexplicable chill, “Is it Jerome?”

Summer twitched the corner of her mouth. There was something wrong with this person.

“It is a girl!” Summer gritted her teeth and said, “Although I promised to cook for you, I am not your servant. I have friends.”

“Douglas'” attitude softened as he said indifferently, “Fine.”

Hanging up the phone, Leonardo looked up at Carl and said in a flat tone, “Were you talking about a business dinner for tonight?”

“Didn’t you said you wouldn’t go?” Carl looked at him in surprise. Normally, Leonardo didn’t care for such things.

Warren knew what was going on and interrupted, “Because his wife is not eating at home tonight.”

“You are a blabbermouth.” Leonardo glanced at Warren, and Warren quietly turned around and left.

…

When Summer arrived at the Golden Cauldron Club, she did not see Jessica.

Just as she was about to call Jessica, a closely wrapped woman walked over.

Summer asked tentatively, “Jessica?”

Jessica moved her sunglasses a little and looked around nervously. “It’s me.”

Then she dragged Summer towards the door and asked her, “Can you enter?”

Jessica naturally knew that the Golden Cauldron Club was one of the best high-end clubs in Hoover City, which paid great attention to privacy, so it was hard to get into.

Summer nodded. “Yes. I have eaten here.”

They arrived at the door. When the doorman saw Summer, he shouted “welcome” louder than usual, extremely enthusiastic.

Entering, Jessica took off her sunglasses and scarf that had covered half of her face. She carefully sized up Summer and said, “I just went to shoot a scene. And now you looked so different.”

They were friends for many years, but most of the time, Summer was “ugly” and Jessica was used to it.

The last time Jessica returned to the crew, although Summer didn’t pretend to be ugly, she thought Summer was just being normal. But now Summer was glowing.

They entered the elevator and Summer checked herself in the elevator wall. “I don’t think I look different.”

Jessica stood beside her and said, “You should be an actress, too. Perhaps you will be more popular than me.”

“This industry is so messed up. I don’t want to be a part of it.”

“…”

…

They found their seats and ordered.

Summer got up and went to the bathroom.

After washing her hands, she walked absent-mindedly with her head hanging low, and bumped into someone at the corner.

She apologized quickly, “I’m sorry.”

The man was tall and didn’t say anything.

Summer looked up curiously, and saw Adams Wilson’s handsome face.

He smiled, making her feel so good, and said, “Hi, Summer.”

Summer was a little flattered. “Are you eating here too?”

She had never thought that she would meet Adams twice in such a big city and in such a short period of time.

“Yes, I have an appointment with a friend.” Adams nodded and asked, “How have you been recently?”

He had seen the news about Summer and “Leonardo’s cousin”.

He didn’t know how many distant cousins Leonardo had, but he knew for a fact that Leonardo only had one close cousin-his own brother Douglas.

Adams’ mother was Leonardo’s aunt. Adams’ father’s surname was Wilson, and his mother’s surname was Emerson. Adams’ brother Douglas took his mother’s surname.

But Douglas was only fourteen years old and lived abroad with his mother.

“Good, … very good.” Summer did not understand why Adams would ask such a question.

She always felt that Adams seemed to have known her before…

“That’s good.” Adams smiled and said nothing else.

Returning to the restaurant, Summer sat down. Jessica put her phone in front of Summer’s eyes and said, “Summer, I just saw the post of Adams on Weibo. Look at this photo. Is he in the Golden Cauldron Club?”

Summer looked down at it and confirmed Jessica’s theory.

It was not strange, because she had seen him just now.

Noticing that Summer was calm, Jessica patted her shoulder and said, “Aren’t you excited? If you go out for a walk now, you might even encounter this movie star.”

“Actually…” Summer paused for a moment, afraid that Jessica would not believe her. She tried her best to make herself sound serious, “I have already met Adams twice. And I just met him outside the bathroom.”

Jessica was shocked, her mouth forming an “O” shape.

Not far away, Adams walked around the hall to take a look. He saw where Summer was, and recognized Jessica as an actress who had been in the same show as him.

…

Leonardo and his men arrived at the Golden Cauldron Club. As soon as they entered the elevator, he received a text message.

Summer used her card?

Carl saw the content of his text message with keen eyes, and noticed the faint smile on his face. He felt his hair stand on end, saying, “You are crazy. You are thrilled that your money was spent?”

Leonardo looked up at him and said indifferently, “She likes to spend my money. Does Jessica spend yours?”

Carl felt an arrow in his chest and his heart ached.

Leonardo glanced at the four-digit number, and after thinking for a moment, he smiled.

Carl felt that Leonardo’s smile was filled with malice.

Beep.

The elevator door opened.

Leonardo looked up and saw Summer standing outside the door.

Summer also saw him and cried out in surprise, “Why are you here, too?”

Did these people make an appointment today? They were all here in the Golden Cauldron Club.

When Carl saw Jessica, his eyes lit up and he squeezed over. The tall man acted like a pug, saying, “Dear Jessica!”

Jessica glanced at him and kicked him.

“It hurts!”
