Jessica was followed by her agent, assistant and some other employees of the company. They all nodded to greet Carl.
"Mr. Carl."
"Mr. Carl."
Carl put his hands behind his back and nodded. He scanned the surroundings and finally fixed his gaze on Jessica.
Jessica probably just returned from an outdoor shooting, and she was still wearing gorgeous makeup. But she looked somewhat tired. She leaned leisurely against the wall and crossed her arms. She exchanged glances with Carl and then looked away.
Carl pursed his lower lip in displeasure. Jessica didn't even give him a single glance, so he wouldn't show excessive passion to her cold face. Therefore, he did not intend to talk to
Jessica. Instead, he asked Jessica's agent, "Did you just come back from an outdoor shooting?"
Carl and Jessica had never had an affair. In the company, they had little contact. Although the relationship between them did not seem to be special, people in the entertainment industry wouldn't let any detail go.
Experienced ones could tell that the company intended to make Jessica popular. This alone was not enough to convince people that Jessica's relationship with Carl was not simple.
As long as it was an artist with great potential, the company would basically invest on her. Once she had fans and could make profits, the company would spare no effort to take advantage of the value of her and use her as a cash cow.
In the past few years, because of both Jessica's personality and her roles in the drama, she had many fans. Along with it, there were many endorsements and film shooting for her.
Many bad scripts, as well as products with negative news, wouldn't reach her agent because the company would reject it. Moreover, once Jessica was involved in something, there would be a higher-up looking for her agent.
