306 They Look Alike a 306 They Look Alike

When Anna came downstairs, she saw a group of people at the front desk asking Leon for an autograph. Therefore, she wasn't sure whether she should approach them or leave.

Anna had a strong suspicion that the statement Leon tweeted was not written by him but by his publicist. He wouldn't have shown up at her office and let everyone see him if it was he who wrote the statement.

As soon as Leon looked up, he saw Anna and waved to her," Anna, you're here! Why didn't you tell me?"

"I was afraid to bother you. Otherwise, my name would have appeared on the hot search list again," Anna answered a bit awkwardly.

"No, I've made a deal with them," Leon said with a smile.

Leon was dressed in a white down jacket and jeans. The furry collar of his hat made his face appear very fair, almost girlish.

“Anna, let me buy you dinner. I've reserved a table for just the two of us at the restaurant. Don't worry, no one will disturb us," Leon said to Anna excitedly.

Hearing that, Anna regretted letting Leon know she was in the company at this time because she was too embarrassed to refuse him.

Anna still tried to refuse him, "I still have to work late at night. Besides, you must be extremely busy. Let's meet for dinner later."

"Please don't turn me down. I've already reserved a table at a Japanese restaurant."

Anna froze, and then couldn't help but swallow a little. That was what

she was craving most. 306 They Look Alike 4

So, Anna and Leon went together to a fancy Japanese restaurant downtown.

When the sea urchin that Anna ordered was served, she immediately started eating it. And she exclaimed joyfully, "Wow! This is so delicious."

"Glad that you like it. My assistant recommended this restaurant to me. Anna, | want to apologize to you. I'm sorry," Leon said sincerely.

"It’s okay, Leon. See, you've already bought me dinner and apologized to me. Besides, | don't believe it's your fault. | know it’s difficult to be under the spotlight all the time | have the impression that you are constantly being watched no matter what you do, right?" Anna said this while sipping the tea.

Leon laughed before saying, "It's not a big deal; I'm used to it. But if | don't do modeling, | will not be able to make ends meet."

"How come?" Anna asked in surprise.

"Oh, I've dropped out of school since I was 10 years old and have worked various odd jobs. If | hadn't been discovered by a modeling agency agent when | was 13, | would have died of starvation that winter."

Hearing that, Anna looked surprised at Leon.

She had always assumed that he was the type of person born into a wealthy family and became a model solely because he found it interesting

Anna did, in fact, change Scott's life. In any case, being a singer was preferable to being a boxer in an underground boxing ring for Scott.

After pulling herself back to reality, Anna comforted Leon, "Don't be 306 They Look Alike oY sad. You didn't meet me back then, but you're doing well now, aren’t you?"

Leon laughed bitterly before saying, "Truth to be told, | did meet someone like you back then. But | had a feeling that accidents would always happen to my beloved ones."

He showed Anna a photo in his wallet and said, "Look, she's really pretty, isn't she?"

Anna saw that there were a grown girl and a teenage boy in the photo. Leon looked to be about 15 or 16 years old, and the girl was very sweet and lovely.

Anna thought she did look like that girl. She realized then why Leon had been so enthusiastic toward her when he first saw her. Plus, she understood why he was willing to wait for her in the cold weather fora long time just to have dinner with her.

"Is she your girlfriend?" Anna asked.

Leon smiled tenderly at the girl in the photo before saying, "Yeah. Her name was Chris, and she came from a wealthy family. After two years of modeling at my previous agency, | had a few unfortunate incidents. As a result, | left the agency. However, | had to pay them a substantial sum of money. Chris paid the money for me and helped me a lot. It was because of her that | was able to continue modeling later on. Well, we were actually supposed to get married later.”

"But what happened?" Anna asked, knowing it didn't seem to end well for them.

Leon said, "It’s most likely all due to fate. She died two years ago after being diagnosed with congenital leukemia. She gave me everything she inherited from her father, and that's why everyone thinks I'm wealthy."

Leon finished the two bottles of wine and then told Anna about the 306 They Look Alike oY story of himself and Chris. And Anna was overwhelmed with sorrow. She hadn't expected that Leon, who appeared to be an innocent and cheerful man, would have such a miserable and twisted past.
