Predestined Marriage
Chapter 674 Accident

When Summer arrived at the conference room, no one was absent. Eliza waved at Summer and asked Summer to sit beside her.

Since it was Leonardo's decision to invest "Lost City 2", his employees didn't need to make things difficult for them. With Eliza communicating with Leonardo's employees, the two sides signed the contract smoothly. And Summer played little role during the process.

The more Summer thought about it, the more puzzled she became. Since it had nothing to do with her, why did Leonardo ask her to come? What was wrong with Leonardo? Summer took a deep breath and became furious.

But based on her understanding of Leonardo, he wouldn't get her into trouble for no reason. Was it because of Amber? Summer thought for a while and found it strange. It didn't make sense that Leonardo did so due to Amber.

With Leonardo's personality, it was totally a waste of time to put someone he didn't like into trouble. If he indeed wanted to help Amber, he could just have Amber pick on her after the project started. He didn't have to go after her himself.

Summer took all possibilities into consideration, and then thought that she probably had thought too much.

"Summer, let's go. What are you thinking about?"

Summer regained her senses after hearing Eliza.

She did a double taking before realizing that the meeting was over. Everyone went out of the room, except for Eliza.

She hurriedly stood up and said, "OK. Let's go."

They walked out side by side. Seeing Summer was still in a daze, Eliza couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong?"

"It's fine," Summer replied. She had to hide the truth from Eliza.

All of a sudden, there came a hubbub ahead. It seemed there was an emergency, and the people in front of them began to run.

Then, everyone on the floor left their offices. Summer could hear them shouting, but she failed to hear clearly.

She put in more efforts and said with a serious expression, "It sounds like a smoke alarm."

Then, there came a shout, "Fire! Fire!"

Everyone rushed to the security exit and ran downstairs. And Eliza, who was walking beside Summer, changed her expression slightly and wanted to run towards the exit.

The conference room where they signed the contract was not on the same floor with Leonardo's office, which was two floors upstairs. Rosie was there with Leonardo. Without hesitation, Summer turned around and ran upstairs.

Noticing that Summer was not behind her, Eliza turned round and saw her going in the opposite direction. Clearly, she tried to go upstairs.

Eliza was anxious and shouted to Summer, "Summer, where are you going?"

"Go on. Don't worry about me," Summer turned to look at Eliza and spoke. Then, she continued to move in the opposite direction.

There were fewer people upstairs. Summer elbowed her way through the crowd and found it was empty on the next floor, as well as the stairs leading to Leonardo's office.

At such a critical moment, everyone tried hard to save their own lives.

Summer quickened her pace and strode forward. At the corner of the stairs, she bumped into the people going downstairs.

Summer felt like she would faint from the crash, as the other one went downstairs at full speed as well.

Fortunately, the person who ran into her had supported her by the shoulder. Although Summer didn't see his face, she could tell who he was according to the strong arms and familiar smell.

She suddenly looked up and saw Leonardo, who seemed to be anxious. Leonardo frowned tightly and asked in a deeper voice, with his eyes full of anxiety, "Are you alright?"

Summer subconsciously replied, "I'm fine."

Leonardo's eyebrows ceased to pucker, and he seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, "That's good."

Since it was an emergency, Summer answered him without thinking. However, after she calmed down, she found Leonardo was strange. His expression clearly showed that he cared about her. Summer could see it and Leonardo also realized it.

All of a sudden, he changed his expression and became as indifferent as usual. He let go of Summer abruptly. Staring at Summer in disgust, he said coldly, "There's a fire. Why do you go upstairs? Do you want to die in my company and have people blamed me for that?"

What he said was unpleasant to the ear. However, Summer did not retort like before. She looked at Leonardo with burning eyes and a beaming smile.

Being stared at by her, Leonardo looked sullen and called her name, "Summer."

Summer did not answer him, but she asked, "Where is Rosie?"

Leonardo looked into her eyes and soon looked away, feeling somewhat embarrassed.

"Tim has brought her out."

Summer wore a broader and broader smile. She glared at Leonardo unblinkingly and said, "Mr. Emerson, I didn't know you are this kind. I'm surprised that you would worry about your ex-wife when running for your life."

"Don't flatter yourself!"

Leonardo sneered, with his eyes full of disdain, "It's natural for people to take the stairs when there's fire. It's just a coincidence that I meet you here. I won't stop you if you want to die here."

With that, he put his hands back and headed downstairs.

There came a faint smoke smell, but Summer stood motionless.

She leaned against the banisters and watched Leonardo go down the stairs with a faint smile.

He walked very fast at first, but then he slowed down.

"Mr. Emerson, hurry up and leave. I can smell smoke. The fire gets worse, right? Don't worry. If I die, it will be an accident and have nothing to do with you," Summer said with a smile.

She deliberately shouted to Leonardo, so he could hear her clearly. Hearing her, Leonardo picked up speed and continued to walk down the stairs.

Summer kept leaning against the railings, and the smile froze on her face. She got upset as if she saw a wasteland after the fire. Did he really leave? However, Leonardo indeed showed his concern to her just now. Summer could tell it and was familiar with it. How could she be mistaken?

Did she get it wrong? Summer fell to the ground, with her back against the banisters.

Did Leonardo really divorce her because he didn't love her anymore? Was there really nothing else?

In Golden Cauldron Club, he watched Logan take advantage of her and didn't help her.

On her way back after visiting Rosie in Leonardo's home, she was stopped by Logan. But Leonardo was intimate with Amber not far away. Even if she was badly injured, he didn't go over to her. Today, she thought that Leonardo cared about her. However, he left without looking back.

No matter what happened, he would be unable to prevent himself from showing his feelings to her if he did love her. As long as Leonardo cared for her, he wouldn't put her in danger. For Summer, she thought of Rosie and Leonardo as soon as she heard the alarm.
