Douglas knew Leonardo asked it because he wanted Summer to go on holiday and relax. Although Leonardo didn't tell him about Summer's condition, Douglas could tell by himself.
Summer got worse day by day.
Due to the accident, she was in bad condition both physically and mentally. In other words, Summer was depressed. Leonardo probably had discovered it. So, he called Douglas back.
Douglas turned to look at Leonardo and found that he was staring at Summer.
Summer did not answer Leonardo. Instead, she turned to look at Douglas and asked, "Douglas, where do you want to go?"
Douglas scratched his head and sighed. As he expected, Summer left the problem to him again.
"It doesn't matter," Douglas said. He indeed had no idea.
Hearing his words, Summer said, "Let's have a discussion later."
Surprisingly, Leonardo was very concerned about going on vacation. He asked Tim to collect some travel materials for Douglas and Summer to choose a destination that night.
Tim sent the materials to the Emerson's himself. As Leonardo often worked from home recently, Tim had to go to the Emerson's frequently and became much busier. Now, he even had to collect travel materials.
Tim worked very hard. When seeing Tim, Summer asked, "Have you eaten yet?"
"I'll eat later," Tim said. Although he had been cautious, he was relaxed when talking to Summer. After all, he had worked with Summer for a while after she managed the Emerson
Group for Leonardo.
Summer continued, "Let's have dinner together."
"My wife and children are waiting for me at home," Tim said with a trace of eagerness flashed across his eyes, which was rare.
Leonardo used to keep her indoors, but now he asked her to go on a tour. How strange it was!
Leonardo paused and said, "You can have a vacation with Douglas and relax yourself."
Summer felt strange and asked, "Douglas?
What about you? Don't you go with me?"
"I have other things to do. When I'm done, I'll come to you," Leonardo looked up at her and spoke. Summer failed to tell what he was thinking from his deep eyes.
As Summer didn't react to his words, Leonardo reached out to hold her hand. Summer frowned and pulled her hand back. Although she had been having quarrels with Leonardo recently, she didn't want to part with him.
Summer looked into Leonardo's eyes and said, "I won't go on vacation without you."
