Leonard trailed off hurrying her up. As things stood right now, he didn't have the luxury of time to have a conversation without any direction. "Miss... I'd suggest you speak now..." He trailed off.Sofia stared at the man in front of her, he was not even staring at her like an attractive woman she was. This was the man that her hea

Leonard took a quick stop at the shopping mall so that he could change into something more presentable. Going home before arriving here was going to prove to be stressful, so in a bid to beat time.He purchased an expensive Italian suit and paired it with a pair of Armani shoes, and dark shades. They were very important for him to look on top of his game."Your card please." The receptionist replied and he handed it over to her immediately because he didn't want to talk about anything. The cashier stared at the card immediately and her eyes widened in surprise. It was almost as though she was dreaming. The handler of the car didn't look very much presentable. How was she sure that she didn't steal it?Leonard, noticing what must have gone wrong, stared at her with a wicked stare wondering what was her problem, daring her to mention a word.

The men turned their heads immediately and stared at him as he walked in. No one coyote recognized him before today, hence the reason for their shock. It must have hit them right in the chest when they saw the least expected person to walk in. Li Yuan, the lead china investor rose to his feet, stretched forth his hand as Leonard approached the seat. "I'm guessing you were the one we are waiting for. It's a pleasure to meet with you, Mr...?" He trailed off, waiting for Leonard to introduce himself."Just call me L." Leonard replied and gripped the man's hand firmly, showing that he was in control. "Good day, gentlemen." He said to the other of the men who were present. They seemed like his cohorts. Li Yuan adjusted his glasses on his eyes "Welcome, sir."

If anything happened to his sister, he wasn't sure of he would be able to compory himself."Doctor," he finally managed to say as he was trying his best to suppress the rage that was so full. "what's happening? Why is she unconscious?"The doctor, who was a short man, looked hesitant. "I apologize, Mr. Leonard, there seems to be a complication.

"I don't know what I should do with, you dimwits." Wiles began to walk to and fro the room, his right hand constantly on the gold ring on his left finger. His hair looked as if it hadn't be washed for ages and he was wearing mismatched footwear. No one paid attention to it, more important things were on ground to solve.The shorter man, Green, looked at his counterpart, Bruno, who gave him a little nod. "Boss, it wasn't how we planned it. If things went according to pl—""Keep that gutter that you call a mouth shut or I would help you do it. What do you mean by that? Tell me!."

"What are you doing, Richard ?" She asked the moment one hand cupped her face, while the other slid down the curve of her waist. Her question came out as a whisper, which surprised her. "Helping you relax around me. We can't go to the meeting with you looking like this.""Like how?"Richard leaned closer to her, bringing his lips to her ear and her body jolted as his hot breath fanned her skin. "Like a simple touch from me will send a wave of electricity through you. One simple touch, like this." The hand that was on her waist found her fingers and he intertwined his with hers, which were already clammy. Matilda shut her eyes in pleasure and pressed her lips in a firm line to prevent herself from making even the slightest sound. He buried his face in her neck, inhaling her inviting flowery scent.

Would you mind giving me a lift?Fear was evident on Leonard 's face as he considered my request. "Are you certain, keeping in mind his possible reaction?" he inquired, worried about how his words may come across.I let out a slow breath, calling upon my inner power.

With a slightly trembling voice, she spoke up, my words now carrying a hint of confidence. "Leonard , I put on the lingerie like you requested." "Now, please enlighten me, what exactly do you desire from me?"While we glared at each other intensely, I silently vowed to control the situation according to my wants and limits.

She tried on the dresses one at a time, with each one more captivating than the previous one. The gentle materials hugged my body's natural contours, as intricate elements shimmered in the light, producing a stunning exhibition. I spun around and looked at myself in the mirror, wishing to see a hint of love in Leonard 's gaze. However, his calm facial expression stayed unchanged as he stood just outside the fitting room, serving as a constant indication of his emotional disconnection.I put on a different dress and gazed at myself in the mirror once more.

The teasing and coldness had become gentler, giving way to a more tender emotion.Leonard spoke at last, his voice lacking any enthusiasm as he commented, "You appear pleasant."
