"I mean how should I address you? Should I call you Leonardo Greene or... Leonardo Paige?," Mr Winslow made sure to emphasize the word 'Paige.' Leo clenched his fists tightly, thankfully the table was able to hide this from Mr Winslow. He gave Mr Winslow a small smile,"Sir... Five minutes is over. Shall we get back to business?" Jake honestly wanted to commend his boss then. His words didn't show his reluctance to answer neither did it offend Mr Winslow in any way. 'The boy is indeed a sly fellow like I had predicted,' Mr Winslow thought, giving Leo a cautious look. He raised his hand and signaled to the lady standing behind him, holding a file. That is probably his secretary or personal assistant. She walked forward and presented the file to Leo. Her eyes linger on him more than it should. Leo ignored her as usual and turned to the file. He'd already read the information Jake wrote down for him on their way here so he understood the vital parts of the contract. He read the f

Leo heard what Jake said but he decided not to say anything because he figured out what Jake said is true. Both of them got into the company. Leo did not hesitate to look around. “You are welcome sir.” A lady walked towards him with a bright smile on her face. Leo turned to look at her and from the way she was dressed, she must be a staff of the company. “Please follow me sir.” The lady added. Jake looked at Leo and both of them walked with the lady. While they were walking, Leo looked around the company and admired how everything was in order. Each time Leo visits a company, he never hesitates to look around. They stopped in front of a door which seemed to be the CEO office. The lady knocked on the door, but there was no response. Jake looked at Leo. Both of them were wondering why no one responded. The lady knocked on the door again but the moment she knocked, a woman walked out of the office. And she looked really angry. Leo looked at Jake and smiled. He understood why the l

Leo turned to look at Jake and returned the phone to his pocket. Jake tried glancing at his boss sideways to observe his expression because whatever Victoria or Heaven told him made his mood change. “Uhm.. Sir, are you…?” “I’m fine.” Leo interrupted Jake immediately. He's started to accept the fact that Victoria and Heaven may never accept him so he made a mental note at that moment to learn how to endure their insults. Jake smiled when he heard his boss response. “Looks like my boss has learnt how to endure her insult without getting mad.” Jake noted inwardly while looking at Leo’s face. Leo adjusted his tie and sighed. He felt a little bit suffocated just thinking about Heaven's harsh words. If things were how they used to be and he was still the popular, wealthy Leo Paige, Heaven will not refer to him as a gold-digger. The word hurts him so much because he doesn’t consider himself as one. But the thought of having his revenge to get back everything he'd lost made him feel

“Are you serious?” Leo asked Heaven in a surprised look. He couldn't believe his ears. What Leo couldn’t figure out is that, is she perhaps joking or being serious? “Yes I am.” she answered him in a rather calm tone. She suddenly became calm and careful with her words. He would never have believed that something like this would have ever happened. He was about to say yes to the request when he suddenly remembered that this is his chance to make her suffer for insulting him and ruining his mood. He, Leo Paige… I mean Greene doesn't turn down an opportunity for revenge! “I can’t say yes just like that.” Leo mused inwardly. The thought of her begging him soothed him. She sounded desperate so he felt this is the right time to strike and make her pay for almost… completely ruining his mood. Heaven on the other hand relaxed because she knows that Leo wouldn't reject her request after all he is where he is today because of her grandfather! “Who wouldn’t want to be my boyfriend? He s

"Why haven't you started eating?," James asked Heaven when he saw that she hadn't even touched her food. She turned to look at him with her usual fake smile and Leo heaved a sigh of relief when he noticed that Heaven had stopped staring at him. “So scary.” He said to himself and took another bite of the food. “Leo… Mr Winslow contacted me," James turned the conversation to Leo as soon as Heaven started eating. Meanwhile, Leo was just about to swallow another mouthful of the delicious meal when he heard James' words. He almost choked while figuring how to explain what had happened. But before he even had a chance to do so, Heaven spoke. “Oh my! This is so delicious, grandfather.” James and Leo turned to her. She made sure to give him a wide smile for their attention. “Of course, it should be. Chef Jane personally cooked the dinner.” James seems to have forgotten the conversation he was having with Leo. After all, it isn't everyday that Heaven compliments something. “It was…” “Oh!
