Her indifference disappointed Eliza, who said honestly, "Well, I actually only saw his avatar..."
When Summer chatted with Douglas, she mentioned Leonardo.
If Eliza had seen everything, she would not have been so calm. She would have bombarded her, firing questions on who she was chatting with, and if he had anything to do with Leonardo.
Anyway, Eliza was asking who she was chatting with now.
"Tell me. Is it a young man chasing after you?" Eliza looked at her curiously.
"No one is chasing after me. He's like a younger brother to me." Douglas was eight or nine years younger than her. To her, he was just a younger brother.
"I don't believe it." Eliza pointed at Summer's phone with her chin, "If you can show me the chat history, I'll believe you. If you can't, it must be a boy chasing after you."
She knew that Summer would not possibly show her the chat history, so she teased her.
Summer knew what Eliza was thinking. She handed her phone to Eliza without demur, saying indifferently, "Here you go."
Eliza opened her mouth and said disappointedly, "No."
She did not like to pry into other people's privacy. Gossiping was her hobby, but it did not mean that she could disregard to other people's privacy.
Summer was calm, which meant she regarded the man who had chatted with her just now as her younger brother.
Eliza couldn't help but ask, "Is he your relative in the Jarretts?"
"No." Summer was annoyed by Eliza, simply closing her eyes and pretending to sleep. It would take more than an hour from the airport to the hotel.
At the mention of the Jarretts, Eliza started to get the conversation flowing. "By the way, I heard from a few investors at a dinner party that the Jarrett Group is going down. They can't even afford to hire a celebrity for their new product, so they are not able to have a proper promotion."
That reminded Summer of something. She abruptly opened her eyes and asked, "Really?"
Eliza was talking about it on the spur, and she got excited when Summer showed her interest. "Don't you know that? Oh right, you have disowned the Jarretts."
Back then, everyone in Hoover City knew that Lynn disowned Summer on newspaper. It remained a gossip topic in the city.
"Yeah." Summer got absent-minded. She recalled that Spencer took the initiative to call her, asking her to spend the Spring Festival with the Jarretts and saying that she could rely on them in the future.
Now she finally knew why he called her.
The Jarrett Group had been going downhill and they couldn't even afford to hire a celebrity, so they wanted to use her connections in the entertainment industry.
Summer laughed at herself, thinking the Jarretts saw nothing but profits and they could not possibly take any disinterested actions out of goodwill.
"Summer, what's the matter?" Eliza noticed that Summer's face turned cold, thinking that she should not have mentioned that Summer was disowned by the Jarretts. She hastily apologized, "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to mention this."
"It's fine. I'm going to sleep." Summer closed her eyes and began to take a nap.
It was in the afternoon, and it was warm. She wanted to have a good nap.
Summer closed her eyes and fell asleep in a daze. When the bus stopped halfway, she woke up.
Eliza grabbed her bag and jumped out of the bus. After they got off the bus, Summer decided to console Eliza, who was still upset.
After all, Eliza was the one who would protect her in the crew. If Amber lost out to Summer in the coming days, she would definitely make things difficult for Eliza.
Since Summer had got Eliza involved and formed an alliance with her, she had to consider her feelings.
Summer patted Eliza on the shoulder and said calmly, "Try to put up with her. You can claim for all the loss on Leonardo. Anyway, the Emerson Group is rich."
"I know." The sunlight was a little dazzling, so Eliza narrowed her eyes and turned to look at Summer, "I just can't lump it. I only want to make a good movie, but annoying things keep bothering me!"
"Many things are like this, and you can't help it." Summer smiled. "But you just need to know what you want to do and keep doing it."
Eliza said with a smile, "Writers are extraordinary. You know how to console." She turned solemn and gritted her teeth, saying, "It is all because Leonardo has power and influence. If my family has more money than the Emersons..."
"I'm hungry..." Summer couldn't continue this discussion with Eliza. Otherwise, she would have doubts about life.
This was life. Power and wealth ruled. However, it was abnormal and unhealthy.
When Summer and Eliza entered the restaurant, the crew had started ordering the dishes.
Unfortunately, only two seats at Amber's table were unoccupied. Summer and Eliza exchanged glances and saw helplessness in each other's eyes. Afterwards, they walked straight towards Amber's table, where the producers and directors were sitting with Amber.
One of the directors saw them and hastily said, "Eliza and Summer have come. Sit here please."
