Jessica noticed the keywords in Summer's words, "What do you mean? Who else gave you a present?"
As she spoke, the sound of closing the door came. Summer guessed that Jessica had arrived.
"Are you here? I will come downstairs to pick you up." Summer was afraid that Jessica would have too many things to take by herself.
"No need. Rosie will be with you if you come downstairs. Don't bother." Jessica was taking the things and panting, "OK, I'll be there in a minute."
Summer did not close the door, just opened it, and waited for Jessica.
Soon, Jessica came upstairs with many bags in her hands.
Summer hastened to come to help her take it.
Jessica remembered what Summer had just said on the phone. Before she entered the room, she asked, "Who else gave you things?"
"Eliza."
"Eliza? You two have worked together. It is reasonable that she gave you a gift. Who else?"
"Bruce, who lives across the street."
"What?" Jessica paused for a moment before she remembered who Bruce was. "The bodyguard?"
"Yes."
Summer put away the things Jessica had brought before turning around to take in the things Bruce had just brought here.
Jessica was an actress and often attended events. She had also endorsed several big brands of clothing and cosmetics.
As soon as she saw the logo on the bag, she recognized which brand it was.
"That bodyguard is so generous. It costs hundreds of thousand dollars, right?" Jessica was a little surprised, and then her expression changed when she looked at Summer. "Who exactly is your bodyguard? Is this something an ordinary bodyguard can afford?"
"His background isn't simple. But he's just a bodyguard now. Besides, he isn't short of money. " Bruce used to be a member of the X Organization. Many people asked the X Organization for help. Countless dignitaries paid for him to work for them. So, Bruce must be very rich.
Summer looked inside the bag. There seemed to be a limited edition gift set.
Hearing Summer say that Bruce wasn't short of money, Jessica thought about the wealthy people in Hoover City, but failed to find the family which was surnamed Wayne.
Therefore, she thought what Summer said meant that Bruce did not need money. She did not think that Bruce was rich.
She felt that spending hundreds of thousands to buy a gift for Summer should be a large expense for Bruce.
Jessica analyzed, "He is not short of money and willing to spend money for you. If it is not because he likes you, what else can it be?"
Summer directly denied Jessica's statement without thinking about it carefully, "Impossible."
She had seen how Bruce and Kate get along. She also had someone she loved and could tell that Bruce looked at Kate in a very different way.
Summer couldn't say what the difference was, but she could feel it.
The way Bruce looked at her was honest. In his eyes, she was just an employer he was slightly familiar with, and was not special to him.
"How can you be so sure that he doesn't like you? If he doesn't like you, then that's what I said last time. He didn't give it voluntarily. Someone must have asked him to give it to you."
Jessica shrugged, "If you don't think it could be someone else who asked him to give it, then I have no idea. Perhaps he has too much money to spend."
Summer pondered for a moment and nodded, "It's also possible."
Summer stopped and turned to look at Jessica. Her gaze was so faint that it scared Jessica.
Jessica said weakly, "It is just an analogy..."
Summer was swayed for a moment. But soon, she denied, "But... Leonardo and Amber have lived together for three years."
"They have lived together for three years. Has Mr. Emerson ever done anything to her?" seeing Summer remain silent, Jessica said to herself, "Definitely not!"
Jessica was right.
Leonardo would not do it with the person he did not like, no matter how long they got along with each other.
Summer fell silent and was a little disturbed. Suddenly, her cell phone rang.
There was a new message on the phone.
Summer picked it up and saw that it was a piece of news.
She intended to clear the notice, but she accidentally saw the headline of the news.
"Leonardo and his new sweetheart... the good news is coming..."
These few keywords made Summer involuntarily click on the news.
Seeing that Summer suddenly became cold and stared at her phone without blinking, Jessica was curious to lean closer and took a look.
As she read, she subconsciously read out what she saw, "Yesterday, a reporter took a video of Leonardo escorting his new girlfriend home. He came out of her house this morning. It seems that the good news is coming..."
