Even though the question wasn't such a difficult thing to answer, sweat formed on Mr Kian's brows. Isn't it just to negotiate? What's the fuss all about? Before he could respond, someone knocked and walked in. Both Mr Kian and Leo glanced at the door. "Boss... The next meeting is starting in a few minutes. We should head to the conference room now," he informed and Leo nodded. "Give me just five more minutes. I'll be there. I believe Mr Kian has something intriguing to tell me," Leo answered as he turned back to his guest. He even raised his hand up to indicate the number. Jake nodded and exited the room. "Then Ceo, how much of the profit share do you want exactly?," Mr Kian didn't dare to mince words as soon as the door closed. If he loses this chance, he might not be able to get one. Leo drew an invisible circle on the table and answered,"Eighty percent." His voice was so low that the man opposite him almost didn't hear but when he did, he was speechless. Believe me when

His eyes scanned the table and his mouth twisted in a smirk. Just as he'd expected, the old man didn't drop the file. Seems like he is more stubborn than he had originally thought. Or wasn't his offer good enough? It would be fair if he as the only and highest investor gets the bigger share so why did the old man not agree? Leo shrugged and walked to his seat. Well, that's his loss. "Boss!," Jake ran in and stopped to take in a deep breath. He panted hard as he dropped the jacket on the sofa placed in the office. Leo didn't even look at him. He just sat on the chair and picked up a file. Jake displayed a fake, angry look. "Boss! You are much more cruel than I thought. You didn't even stop for once even though you knew I was chasing after you," He sounded aggrieved. "It's not my fault, you have short legs," Leo mumbled silently. "Huh?," Jake pretended not to have heard what he said. Leo dropped the file and finally looked up at him. "What do you want? Isn't your office the

"That brat huh!? She really knows how to make one furious. Her mother and I are always trying to look out for her. What if they take advantage of her naivety? She can't make use of the fact that no news about her has been uploaded yet. Once her innocence gets tainted, does she think those vultures won't swing to action and make it known to the entire world?," James paused and coughed. Leo hurriedly gave him another cup of water and he gulped it in one go. "When that happens, it will hurt her the most. She'll be the one suffering for her stubbornness and ignorance," James suddenly stopped again and looked at Leo who was sitting down on the chair without saying a word. The young man was just quietly sitting down and listening to his complaints without saying anything. James secretly sighed. If only his granddaughter was as sensible as this godson of his, would he have to worry about them so much? "I'm sorry," Leo looked up when he said this. He looked genuinely confused as he as

She was quiet for a long time just watching the rain hit the closed hospital windows mercilessly. It really doesn't rain much in San Francisco but when it does, it rains heavily. She remained so silent for an unbearable period of time that her bodyguard had to call out to her,"Miss...?" That was when she turned back to him and he was a little bit startled to see the hollow look on her face. She tried to sit up and he hurriedly walked forward. He pushed a button by the bedside and the bed automatically rose to a sitting position so Mandy was able to sit up without making a move. He then stood back and waited for her instructions. She finally opened her mouth to say something. Her voice sounded so cold that even him could feel the anger in it. "So they gave him two days to solve the crisis?," He gave her a quick nod. She suddenly laughed. "Two days is too much of a time to waste. They shouldn't have even given him any chance at all. They should have just snatched that posit

Jake didn't wait for a response after he knocked on the door before barging in. You can't blame him, okay? The food bags in his hands were hot and probably scalded his skin. Leo looked up with a raised brow and closed the file he was reading. Before he could say anything, Jake explained with a pout,"Boss... Have mercy. The meal is still hot and it's hurting my poor hand." Leo chuckled. Why is he pouting like a child? "Are you single?," His sudden question made Jake almost drop the paper bags in his hand. He coughed as he quickly dropped the meal on the table not minding where it landed. "Huh? Boss, what did you say?" "You heard me." "Hehe boss," Jake hid his nervousness with a fake laugh. "I just wanted to confirm that my ears weren't hearing things." Leo didn't respond. He faced the takeaway of food in front of him instead so Jake sat opposite him and asked anxiously,"Why... Why were you asking, boss?" His heart pounded fiercely as he asked. Why the heck did the
