"Alright, hurry up! Don't be late on your first day to school," she reminded him, "and stay out of trouble!"
"When was I ever in trouble?" Douglas looked unhappy.
When wasn't he?
But Summer didn't argue with him anymore and told him to get moving.
Douglas stuffed the cash into his pockets. Then, he suddenly became serious, "There's something else I need to talk to you."
"What?" Summer became curious because Douglas was seldom serious.
"You should divorce my cousin. He's not a good man." Later, he added, "I'm not saying this to persuade you to be my girlfriend."
If Douglas hadn't added the last statement, Summer would have believed him.
She glared at Douglas, "Don't talk nonsense, kid. If you stay here any longer, I'll call your cousin."
"Alright, I'll go." He took a few steps and turned around again, "I'm serious."
Summer made a gesture of calling someone on the phone. Douglas shrugged and ran off in a flash.
Douglas was just a kid. There were many things he didn't understand. But he was right about one thing—Leonardo wasn't a good man indeed.
...
When Summer went back, she ran into Vicky.
Vicky got her bummer face on when she saw her.
But she seemed surprised to see the clothes she was wearing.
Summer was working in the Jarrett Group, but her clothes were always plain and simple. She looked nothing like a young lady from a wealthy family.
The clothes she was wearing today were from a luxurious brand, and the shape and stitches were classic.
Who bought her the clothes? Douglas?
Vicky crossed her arms and cast a sidelong glance at Summer with her chin up high, "I heard you failed to persuade Leonardo to help the Jarrett Group?"
"That's right. He isn't someone who can be persuaded. Will you give it a try?" Summer was already in a bad mood because of Leonardo, so she was straightforward with Vicky.
"I will. You don't think I have the guts, do you?" Vicky snorted coldly and left.
Summer agreed with Jessica. Vicky was a spoiled princess who was already hopeless.
Vicky had wanted to hook up with Douglas, and then Leonardo after she failed. Although Summer knew they were the same person, Vicky didn't.
Did she really think all the men in the world were revolving around her?
And she was so attractive that all of them should fall in love with her?
She was indeed hopeless.
Summer laughed a little. Hooking up with Leonardo? She might not even get a chance to meet him in person.
...
Leonardo arrived at the Tip Top Media Company.
He entered his office and Carl followed him.
"I heard you had Tim bring you some clothes to the Golden Cauldron Club on Saturday night?" Carl mocked as if he saw through everything.
But Leonardo's heart sank when he mentioned it.
"Don't you have better things to do?" Leonardo looked up from a pile of documents.
