His Ugly Bride (Anna and Sebastian)

Chapter 154 Don't Hang Up and Let Her Continue

Summer looked at the grey cotton-padded shirt in the driver's hand. Tears immediately flowed out of

her eyes.

She could not explain why she cried. She just suddenly felt very sad. Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.

The driver was a middle-aged man. When he saw Summer crying, he scratched his head anxiously.

"Don't cry. Others would think that I had done something to you!"

Summer broke into tears and smiled, "Thank you. I'm not afraid of the cold. You still have to drive late,

right? I'm in good health and I'll be fine.

She was really not cold now, because her heart was warm.

However, the driver thought that Summer did not like his coat, so he did not say anything else. Summer

got out of the car and watched the taxi drive away before she took out her phone and called Jessica.

As soon as the phone rang, she heard a familiar ringing nearby.

Then, she heard Jessica's voice not far away, "Hey, are you there?"

Summer hung up the phone and waved to Jessica. "I'm here."

Jessica ran over, wrapped up like a dumpling, with a coat in her hand.

"Holy shit, it's so cold. It's almost 10 degrees below zero. Did you come over from the banquet dressed

like this?" Jessica said and rudely put the coat in her hand on Summer.

Summer sniffed, "Yes, everyone was looking at me along the way. I feel like a badass." They returned

to Jessica's house together.

Jessica didn't have much time at home, so her house was a little messy.

The room was well heated, and Jessica poured Summer a cup of hot water as soon as they entered.

When they were outside, Jessica did not notice the state of Summer. Now that the room was alight with

lamps, Jessica discovered that Summer's eyes were red.

Jessica frowned and sat down beside her. "What's going on with you?"

"Ah? Nothing. It's just that when I got off the car, the driver saw that I was wearing so little and wanted

to give me his coat. I was so touched."

Seeing that she did not seem to be joking, Jessica nodded. "The society has more good people than

bad after all." Then, she seemed to have thought of something and said, "A stranger's small actions

can be particularly touching, while small faults of people beside us will be magnified infinitely. No matter

how good he was to you in the past, it is useless."

Summer asked, "Are you talking about Carl?"

"Who's talking about that asshole?" Jessica sneered, "Men are the worst!"

Summer leaned back gently and did not say anything.

"If you're upset, let's drink. It's been a long time since we've had a drink together." As Jessica spoke,

she went straightly to take the wine.

Summer even didn't have time to refuse her.

Last time, they went to a bar for a drink... Jessica loved to drink, but that didn't mean she drunk

excessively.

She just drunk with the people close to her when she was off work.

Summer learned how to drink from Jessica.

After drinking half a bottle of red wine, they were already slightly drunk.

Jessica leaned her head against the sofa and spoke.

"I think Carl is a bitch!"

"Yes, so is Leonardo."

"There's too much gossip about Carl and he still said that he's innocent. Does he think I'm stupid?"

"Yes, Leonardo ... I don't think he has any."

"Carl..."

The ringtone interrupted Jessica's words. She squinted and looked at the caller ID, which was a string

of unfamiliar numbers.

Jessica answered the phone, "What? Selling insurance? I won't buy it!"

A deep male voice rang on the other end of the phone, "I'm Leonardo."

Leonardo?

Jessica was shocked. And she was almost sober.

Just as she was about to speak, Leonardo said, "Don't say anything. I ask and you answer. You just

need to say 'yes' or 'no'."

Jessica subconsciously replied, "Oh."

Then, she was a little dumbfounded. Why did she listen to Leonardo's words?

As if he knew what she was thinking, Leonardo said indifferently, "Carl wants to be your manager."

Jessica suddenly exploded, "In his dreams!"

"Well."

Only then did Jessica remember that Leonardo was his boss!

"Is Summer with you?"

Jessica glanced at Summer, who was drinking while smashing her lips, and said, "Yes."

"She took a taxi by herself?"

"Otherwise, did you send her here?" Speaking of this, Jessica was still a little angry.

Summer had already told Jessica about what happened on the party and her speculation. Jessica was

a straightforward person, and now that she heard Leonardo's question, she wanted to argue with him.

Leonardo didn't seem to recognize the unkindness in her tone and directly said, "Don't let her drink. Go

to bed early." "We've already drank half a bottle. I still have a cabinet of wine!"

Summer narrowed her eyes and walked over, "Who are you calling?"

Summer felt pretty good, and without outsiders around, she just set herself free.

She leaned over to Jessica and said, "I came to me. Although there's no gossip about Leonardo, he

has dream girl in his heart! Men are the worst!"

There was a deathly silence on the other end of the phone.

Jessica shivered and hurriedly reached out to push Summer to the other side. "Stop talking."

Summer said vigorously and continued to move towards her, "It's really not easy for a man like

Leonardo to get a wife. He is like an uncertain time bomb, even more terrifying than a woman's

menopause..." Jessica secretly felt sorry for Summer in her heart. Just as she was about to hang up

the phone, she heard Leonardo's deep voice, "Don't hang up the phone. Let her continue."

Jessica didn't know what to do.

On one side was her big boss that could kill her with only one finger, and on the other side was her

good friend who went through a lot with her. What was she going to do?

In the end, before Jessica could figure out which side to stand on, Leonardo came.

Jessica stood at the door. She was shocked as if she had seen a ghost. "Leonardo, when did you

come?"

Leonardo didn't say anything, but instead looked inside without looking at her.

Jessica moved aside a bit. Leonardo saw Summer curled up on the sofa in a loose household uniform,

holding a glass of wine and drinking it.

His face clouded over.

Jessica nervously swallowed a mouthful of saliva, intending to excuse herself.

However, Leonardo seemed to have forgotten about the matter of not letting Summer drink. Instead, he

lowered his head and asked her, "Do I need to take off my shoes?"

Jessica nodded in astonishment.

Hearing this, Leonardo bent down and took off his shoes before walking towards Summer.

Jessica looked at the pair of high-end custom leather shoes at the door and blinked her eyes with a dull

expression.

When the boss came into her house, he actually asked if he needed to take off his shoes!

It seemed that he was not that hateful anymore! He was so polite and not tyrannical at all! Jessica felt

that she was going to become his fan!
