Chapter 23 Poor Excuse
Leonardo was angry and shouted in frustration, “Fuck off!”
Summer was stunned, paused, turned around, and left.
After a while, Leonardo calmed down and Tim entered the room with a stack of files in his hands.
It appeared that Leonardo thought of something, raised his head, and asked, “Is Summer back?”
Tim placed the files on his table, cleared his throat, and said, “Missus had been back for a while and she was here… to see you…”
Leonardo remembered that indeed there was a woman who knocked on the door.
And the only woman who stayed in this villa was Summer.
Did she look for him on her own?
Was it because she couldn’t resolve the rumors on social media and wanted his help?
Leonardo’s black eyes sparkled, he leaned back into his seat and ordered, “Get her over here.”
Tim went out and returned with Summer in a short moment.
Summer pushed the door and entered and Leonardo was seated behind the table with the tall executive chair turned, back towards her.
She could only see his hands which were on the armrests and the back of his head.
Leonardo asked her, “What did you want?”
Isn’t she supposed to ask him that?
When she came to look for him, he asked her to go away and now he asked her back only to ask what was going on?
Summer didn’t want to beat around the bush and said directly, “I want to move out.”
She noticed that there was no reaction from Leonardo and explained, “I’ll be starting work soon and it is inconvenient for me to continue living here.”
Her explanation received a simple answer, “Oh.”
Oh?
Was that an approval?
Leonardo was in fact very upset.
Yesterday this ugly woman said that she doesn’t mind that he can’t ‘perform’, and today she wants to move out of the villa?
Dream on!
Summer looked at him keeping quiet and asked, “You…”
Leonardo coldly interrupted her, “Do you think that this is a market that you can come and go as you wish?”
Summer can hear his fury.
She didn’t understand how she had offended him. Forget it, she’ll just stay here.
If she considered it from another perspective, someone like Leonardo who has some ‘inabilities’ will be particularly sensitive and easily offended.
When Summer thought of it in that manner, her tone softened and said, “Okay, I understand, I’ll take my leave if there is nothing else.”
It was Leonardo’s first time hearing her speak so gently.
He waved his hand and his face darkened.
“Get out!”
Summer sighed within, Leonardo has an awful temper.
Leonardo turned around and threw the documents onto the table.
Tim looked at his reaction and was wondering why his boss has been losing his temper recently.
Leonardo seemed to have thought of something else and asked Tim, “I remembered that on Summer’s particulars it was written that she had graduated from the Film Academy?”
Tim replied, “Yes, Missus studied cinematic literature.”
Leonardo smiled in a flash, and looked like a predator looking at prey, said, “Does that mean that her job is script writing?”
Tim was surprised and nodded.
Others think that Leonardo was an impotent brat but no one knew that these few years Leonardo had been the boss of the country’s largest entertainment agency, Tip Top entertainment group.
In just a short eight years, Tip Top entertainment had become the movie industry’s leader.
Tip Top Entertainment was the agency of choice for all budding actors. If Summer wants to become someone in the industry, she’ll definitely send her resume to Tip Top Entertainment.
Tim could detect what Leonardo wanted and said, “I’ll do it immediately.”Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.
…
Summer practically submitted her resumes to all the film production companies in Hoover City.
But, she intentionally left out Tip Top Entertainment.
The reason being?
Because Tip Top Entertainment and the company which Jessica signed with were direct competitors.
Furthermore, she’ll definitely not get hired.
She wanted to settle the news released by Vicky before the interviews begin.
She pondered for a while before calling Vicky.
“What’s the matter, speak up.” Vicky spoke with arrogance.
Summer pinched her nose such that it sounded like she had cried, “Sister, I’m sorry, don’t be angry with me. Can we meet outside? Please don’t harm my mother.”
“Who do you think you are, expecting me to meet you as you wish.”
Summer knew Vicky very well, she lowered her voice and begged, “I beg you.”
“Louder, I can’t hear you.”
“I beg you, please.”
“Okay…”
Summer put down the phone, her eyes were blank.
Vicky, you must be so proud of yourself?
But soon you’ll be sorry.
Jessica gave her a few sales agents’ contacts as well as several paparazzi’s.
The news of her ‘stealing’ Vicky’s fiance was still rather popular and there are those willing to take some good pictures.
She chose a paparazzi’s contact and sent him the time and address before leaving for the meeting.
As soon as Summer stepped out of the door, Tim went to the study and inform Leonardo, “Missus has left the house.”
Leonardo lifted his head and looked at him with a “What’s it got to do with me” look.
Though he has already been used to the chilling look of Leonardo, Tim still swallowed his saliva uncomfortably.
“I’m guessing that Missus has gone out to deal with Vicky.” He was curious about how she was going to handle Vicky. He believed that his boss felt the same.
Unexpectedly, Leonardo calmly replied, “Okay.”
Tim was dazed, did he guess wrongly?
The next moment, Leonardo stood up and took his jacket and headed out, “I haven’t seen big brother for a while, I’m going to have a meal with him.”
Tim, “…”
If memory served him right, big brother was still overseas and not back yet.
The boss should at least find a decent excuse…
Though Leonardo’s excuse was obviously flawed, Tim didn’t dare to expose him.
…
Leonardo drove and followed Summer to a restaurant.
He sat in the car watching Summer going in for twenty minutes before Vicky arrived.
Following that, another man who was dressed casually but looked suspicious entered the restaurant.
Being the Boss of Tip Top Entertainment, he could see at once that man was a paparazzi.
His wait in the car wasn’t in vain. Looks like something interesting is going to happen.
