The program was nearing its end time.
Director Clark did not hesitate to give the space to the Tucker mother and daughters.
Scarlett Jennings was the first to leave the villa, quickly heading towards Luca Jennings outside the villa courtyard.
However, her steps faltered slightly when she clearly saw Luca Jennings’ face.
The production team was still clueless about where Scarlett was heading until they saw the person standing at the door.
"That seems to be from Jennings Group... Scarlett’s dad!"
Director Clark was the first to recognize Luca Jennings, looking dumbfounded, obviously not understanding why such a big CEO would suddenly appear here?
And the scene somewhat seemed familiar.
Well, the last time someone waited here was Scarlett’s romantic interest.
Luca Jennings did not notice the change in his daughter’s expression, only glanced at Director Clark, his tone somewhat pointed,
"I’ve come to pick up Scarlett for dinner."
Luca Jennings had specifically pushed back a dinner engagement to come here.
His assistant had been watching the live stream and mentioned that they hadn’t had dinner yet.
Luca Jennings felt somewhat dissatisfied with the production team.
Even with numerous issues in the program, they shouldn’t skip meals for children who are still growing!
Upon hearing this, Director Clark immediately felt somewhat embarrassed, admitting his fault and not daring to push further.
Luca Jennings then greeted a few of the guests; although he was usually cold and unemotional, he was much warmer towards Scarlett’s "colleagues," especially Nathan White, her senior.
Nathan White quietly greeted him and took a glimpse at Luca Jennings’ face, wanting to say something but held back.
Evander Simpson seemed to have something to say as well.
If it had been just one person, it would have been fine, but now two in a row looked at him hesitantly, Luca Jennings knew there was an issue.
However, he was always composed and simply asked, "Is there something wrong with me?"
Nathan White looked at Evander Simpson, then, as if it was they who needed to ask first, they simultaneously voiced,
"You have a bad romantic entanglement."
"You’ve recently offended someone."
Luca Jennings’ eyes twitched slightly; although he guessed there might be an issue, he didn’t expect it to be this kind.
Turning to look at Scarlett’s meaningful glance, he inexplicably felt a thump in his heart and hurriedly explained,
"There’s no bad romantic entanglement, I must have offended someone!"
He certainly didn’t want his daughter to misunderstand that he was flirting around; he’d rather be the one offended.
It was also Luca Jennings’ concerned confusion, forgetting that Scarlett was a professional, although Mystical Sect’s three prohibitions included not predicting for close kin, that was for deducing the past and future. For visible issues like this, even Face Reading wasn’t necessary.
At this moment, looking at the gray mingled with dark pink at Luca Jennings’ forehead, Scarlett simply shook her head, correcting him,
"To be precise, you’ve offended both."
Luca Jennings: ...
Scarlett, unaware of Luca Jennings’ complex feelings, reached into her bag and directly handed him an Anti-backstabbing Talisman.
If she wasn’t mistaken, both the bad romantic entanglement and the nemesis were likely the same person.
Looking at the Talisman Paper, Luca Jennings felt even more complex emotions.
