“Oh, I see. Elena, you can go into your room now. We have to rest," said Leon with a smile.“Okay, Leon.”Leon stepped into his room. When Leon entered his room, Elena immediately threw Noah's business card in the trash can in front of her room."It's almost! If Leon sees this, he'll definitely think I've betrayed him." Elena breathed a sigh of relief.***The next day, after dropping Elena off at work and on the way home, Leon stopped at a flower shop. Today was his day off from work. Leon wanted to cook for Elena and prepare a romantic dinner for tonight.Leon took a stalk of lily and smelled its aroma. He exhaled a long breath. Elena liked lilies more than roses. "This flower is Elena's favorite, she will definitely be very happy if I give it to her."Leon called a florist employee and ordered a bouquet of lilies. While he was waiting, Claire had just arrived at the shop to buy flowers. Seeing her ex-husband's presence, Claire was curious.“What is that loser doing here?” Claire mu
Elena rolled her eyes in annoyance. She sighed and turned to the man. With a flat expression, Elena spoke to him, "Mr. Noah, what are you doing here?"Noah snorted while smiling. “This is a public street, am I not allowed to be here?” he replied."Okay, sir, then I have to go now." She spoke as she got up from her seat. Elena was about to move, but Noah suddenly grabbed her wrist.Elena's eyes widened, she looked at Noah with an annoyed expression. “Please, Master, let me go!” she begged.“Why do you call me so formal? Just call me by my name," asked Noah.“Okay Noah, please let me go now. I want to go home!" Elena ordered."I won't let go of your hand until you answer my question." Noah grinned. Seeing Elena, who kept avoiding him, made his curiosity about that woman grow even more. He had never been that enthusiastic about pursuing a woman before, and he didn't even care about Elena's social status.“Quickly say what you want to say!” Elena exclaimed.“Why didn't you contact me? I'v
"It's possible that Leon was drunk and emotional last night, so he didn't want to listen to me," Elena muttered. She came out of her room and looked at Leon's door.“Is he waking up?” she muttered.Elena took a deep breath and dared herself to go to Leon's room. She knocked on Leon's door and spoke in a low tone. “Leon, please open the door!”There was no answer from inside the room. "Is it possible that Leon is still sleeping?" She knocked harder on the door. “Leon, I know you're still angry with me. But I just want to explain everything to you.”“Leon!” Elena turned the doorknob and was surprised to find that the man's bedroom door was unlocked. She immediately went inside and looked for Leon all over the room.“Leon, are you hiding? Please listen to my explanation!” Elena's voice was sobbing, with tears rolling down her cheeks. She sat limp on the edge of Leon's bed. She hoped that Leon would appear in front of her and listen to her explanation.***In a hospital bed, Leon was lyin
Leon was stunned and thinking for a moment. "You are right. But without me, what if something happens to her? She needs me.” He was still angry with Elena, but his worry was much bigger than that.“Sir, your condition is still weak. I'll go to Miss Elena and talk to her.”"But-""Sir, this is for your good."Leon sighed and nodded slowly. "Okay, but don't make her suspicious of my identity!""Okay, young master."***Elena rushed home in the hope that Leon had returned to the apartment. She really wanted to explain everything to Leon and hoped that her relationship with him would return to good condition.Arriving at the apartment, Elena gasped when she saw Mr. Altafini standing in front of Leon's room door. Seeing Elena's arrival, the old man smiled at her."Elena," said the Jensen family butler.“Sir, what are you doing here?” Elena asked while frowning.“I came here to tell you that Leon is at my house now. He won't be able to see you for a month."“A month?” Elena gasped. Her expr
Leon sighed with his hands clenched into fists. The muscles on his face stood out as his sharp hazel eyes stared at Zara. The woman did not hesitate to look down on Leon because, when he was still in college, Leon often borrowed money from her to take Claire to eat her favorite food, and Leon usually returned the money after he got his salary working part time.Seeing Leon, who was just silent, Zara smiled grinningly. She waved her hand to summon a guard. "Because you didn't want to speak honestly, I'm forced to call the guard. As Jasmine's business partner, I won't let her birthday party be ruined by a poor person like you!” she sneered.Leon smiled bitterly. In a casual tone, he replied, “Whatever. Let's see who gets kicked out of this party!”The guard came and asked Zara. "What's happened, Miss?"“Please throw him out! He snuck in here just to grab some food. He is just a poor man, and of course there is no way Jasmine Braun would invite him here!” Zara exclaimed.The man turned h
Elena stepped back in panic. Without replying to their words, she immediately ran. But Elena's steps were not comparable to those of the men. They managed to catch Elena.“Why go in such a hurry?” tease them. The men's laughter shrieked in Elena's ears. She tried to fight back by hitting the umbrella in her hand, but this was in vain.They snatched the umbrella from Elena's hand and threw it away. "Do you think you can fight us?""Let me go!" Elena shouted.“You can scream as loud as you can, but remember that no one will help you on a night with bad weather like this,” he replied."Let me go! Don't you dare mess with me or you'll face the Jensen family!” In the midst of this critical atmosphere, Elena remembered Mr. Altafini.The three men chuckled. “The Jensen family? Do they know you? It's impossible for them to allow their family members to go out alone like this," he teased in disbelief.“Don't talk too much, and come with us!” They grabbed Elena's hand, but before they could go
Leon shook his head. “No, Elena. This is not my car. It belongs to Mr. Altafini," he explained.“Really? So he lent you this car?” Elena was amazed to see the car, she even looked afraid to touch it.“Come in, we have to get home!” ordered Leon, who immediately got into the car and sat in the driver's seat. He didn't even open the door for Elena.Elena sighed and got into the car with a sad expression. She could feel how cold Leon's attitude was toward her. She had the expectation that Leon would chat with her in the car, but this seemed to just be Elena's imagination. The atmosphere in the car was very tense. There was only the sound of gusts of wind hitting the ears.Elena sighed as she turned her gaze towards the window with an empty gaze. As she stared at the window, Leon glanced at her secretly. He admired Elena's beauty until he unconsciously smiled, but suddenly Leon's smile faded when he remembered Elena's lie to him.“If you get the afternoon shift, never go home alone. It is
Seeing Leon's arrival, the butler was shocked to see the condition of the young master's car. The black car had been hit by many bullets, so many of its windows were cracked. He immediately approached Leon to see his condition."Young master, what happened?" asked the old man while gripping Leon's shoulder. He noticed that Leon's face had several bruises on it, but they were marks from punches from the people who wanted to kidnap Elena. “Young master, who beat you? And what happened to your car?” he asked again because Leon was still silent and didn't give him an explanation.Leon sighed. He looked at his car and said, "There was a car that suddenly shot bullets at my car in the middle of the way. I don't know who they are, I almost got shot to death. But luckily, I survived," he explained. "And I got this bruise when I was fighting with the men who wanted to kidnap Elena," he continued.“Miss Elena? Was she with you when the shooting happened?" Mickey asked. The old man immediately f
