Purchased A Mr. Right -
Chapter 1439
As soon as he finished speaking, Leonardo was about to bow down.
But Mila was one step ahead of him. She gently picked up Holly and said, "You guys talk first. I'll take Holly into the car and wait!"
Afraid of disturbing the two of them, she took the lead to go to the car, followed by Charley and his lover.
Leonardo frowned. Just as he was about to catch up, Lyla called out to him. "Leonardo!"
He had to stop again.
Lyla changed to another standing position. Her smile was much softer than before, and the corners of her eyes were full of charm. "You were busy with work in the office last time, so I couldn't treat you to a meal! Why don't we have a meal together when you're free?"
Leonardo said, "I'm busy recently!"
This was a kind of rejection.
In Leonardo's eyes, he had introduced Anson to Lyla to help her and had also accepted her gratitude. At present, there was little connection between them in private, not to mention that their affair had long passed.
He was really busy and had to go home for dinner every night.
by la's face showed disappointment.
Leonardo didn't say anything more. He nodded to her and said goodbye to her before turning around to leave.
Lyla stared at his straight back.
Seeing Leonardo sitting in, Mila quickly lowered her head.
She was afraid that her emotions would be revealed, so she lowered her head to coax Holly to cover her emotion.
Charley, who worked as a driver, was eagle-eyes. He stepped on the accelerator and drove away.
Leonardo was originally a little angry because she had left first. He wanted to blame her and gave her a fierce glare. But when he saw her bowed her head and concentrated on coaxing her daughter to sleep, his heart softened.
He opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but stopped on a second thought with a frown.
When the car ran on the viaduct, Holly had fallen asleep in Mila's arms. Leonardo was afraid that she would feel tired, so he reached out and took Holly into his arms.
Mila turned her face to the window, and the neon street was reflected in her eyes.
She hid her emotions well again.
The blazing sun was fiery.
In the president's office on the top floor, the secretary handed in the documents which needed to be signed after reporting the schedule, and saw that the president frowned slightly. It seemed that in recent days, the president was often troubled by something.
The secretary asked, "Mr. Schain, are you all right?"
"I'm fine!" Leonardo said.
After glancing at his secretary who was concerned about him, he hesitated for a moment before asking, "Generally speaking, when will a woman be willing to marry a man?"
The secretary was stunned for a moment and then analyzed, "Generally speaking, a woman will marry a man she loves or loves her. But women always seek a sense of security. Basically, they will replace a man who loves them to marry! I don't quite understand, but my wife said so!"
The secretary was already married, so he had more say in this field.
Leonardo was silent after hearing that.
When he was rejected for the second time that day, he seemed to hear that she had said in a very low voice that she wanted to marry a man who loved her...
While Leonardo was thinking with a frown, his phone rang.
He glanced at it and picked it up. "Hello, Anson!"
After the other side said something, Leonardo slightly raised his wrist to look at his watch and said, "At noon? Well, I know!"
After he hung up the phone, the secretary canceled the lunch schedule.
It was time for lunch. Leonardo picked up his suit jacket, walked out of the office building, and went to a restaurant near the company.
Anson asked for a meeting on the phone. Recently, there were some problems with the newly built pharmaceutical factory. Although the problems were not serious, they still needed to be paid attention to. They planned to talk about it while having lunch.
Because it was close, Leonardo personally drove there.
When he arrived at the restaurant, he found that not only Anson, but also a beautiful woman who was very good at dressing, was sitting there. It was Lyla.
Leonardo frowned secretly.
He looked at Anson.
Lyla took the initiative to explain, "I asked Anson to help me! Before, I wanted to treat you to a meal, but you always said that you were busy and refused me, so I took the opportunity to come over with Anson!" Anson and Lyla came out of the court in the morning. When she heard that Anson invited Leonardo to lunch to talk about law matters related to the pharmaceutical factory, she said she wanted to have lunch together.
Anson didn't know how to refuse.
Besides, Leonardo had asked him to help Lyla with her divorce case, which made him mistakenly think that their relationship was very unusual, so he agreed.
However, when he saw Leonardo purse his lips, he suddenly felt he had done something wrong.
Leonardo pulled out a chair and sat down.
It was a western-style restaurant. The steak was served soon. Lyla ordered a bottle of red wine.
Leonardo drove here, so he could not drink. Lyla did not force him. She poured a glass of wine for Anson and herself respectively.
The air was full of the fragrance of red wine.
Lyla shook the glass of wine gracefully, then lifted it and looked at him with sparkling eyes. She looked very excited and her face seemed to be glowing.
"Leonardo, I won my case. Through the efforts of Anson, the court decision was made this morning! I want to thank you with this meal today. Thank you for helping
In
me!
Leonardo raised the glass of water beside him and said sincerely, "Congratulations on your freedom, Lyla!"
Domestic violence was the most shameful thing for married life. Lyla had suffered domestic violence from her ex-husband. Now she divorced and got rid of this troublesome life. For women, this was something worthy of congratulations.
However, such polite words aroused endless wild thoughts in Lyla's mind.
During the meal, Anson received a phone call. There seemed to be a very urgent matter in the law firm that he needed to deal with, so he left in a hurry.
The two of them finished their meals and left the restaurant together.
The western restaurant was decorated in a Gothic style. Outside there were five concrete steps, covered with red carpets. If you stepped on them, you wouldn't feel that the span of each step was too large. However, Lyla suddenly cried out in alarm.
It seemed that because her high heels were too high, she accidentally missed her step when she walked down.
When Lyla fell down, she was falling toward him. Leonardo couldn't do nothing to save her from ruin, so he subconsciously reached out his hand.
Lyla took advantage of his power to fall into his arms.
Leonardo held her and asked, "Lyla, are you alright?"
"I'm fine!" Lyla said, but the expression on her face was obviously very painful.
"Did you sprained your ankle?" Leonardo asked.
Lyla lowered her head and looked at her foot. She then said in a slightly troubled and helpless voice, "It should be! I'm in great pain now, and I can't continue walking. Looks like I was so happy after the divorce that I didn't mind my step when I walked. It seems that I'll have to trouble you to send me home, Leonardo!"
