In the gym, time passed, but Leo still did not show up.
Irene could not sit, “Why? Why didn’t he turn up till now?”
Caroline next to her was staring at the screen in a trance.
“Why, why this look?”
Irene also seemed to understand something, and she asked in surprise.
“Miss Garcia, you take a look…”
Caroline showed Irene the message Leo just sent.
Irene was stunned.
The smile on her face also suddenly froze.
She stared at the screen for a long while and then she wore an ugly face.
“Why? I just asked him to bring me the Medicinal wine. Why did he ask you to do that?”
Caroline helped her up with a complex face, “Miss Garcia, I drive you home?”
Then she supported Irene back to the room next to Leo’s.
After using the medical wine, Irene’s foot was swollen.
The next moment she felt so oppressed.
“I have to know what he is busy and why he has no time to bring me the medical wine.”
Caroline’s face changed, “Miss Garcia, you’d better not.”
However, she failed stopping Irene and she had jumped on her one foot to Leo’s room.
Through the door, she heard the laughter of Lydia and Emilia, as well as Leo.
She knew Lydia must give a call.
Irene suddenly froze, and her hand which was about to knock suspended in the air.
Caroline walked out, to see Irene in silence in front of the door of Leo’s room. She also seemed to understand something and ran over.
Irene turned back, and Caroline was immediately startled.
Irene was crying.
“Miss Garcia...”
At this moment, Caroline also felt so worried and she led Irene back to her room.
Late at night, Irene’s ankle was still throbbing, but she couldn’t fall asleep.
At this moment, she finally understood the reason why Caroline stopped her before.
She was like a moth fighting a flame, she was so confident but battered by harsh reality.
“Leo, why don’t you even look at me...?”
Irene muttered to herself.
The next morning, the three met in the hotel lobby.
Irene still has a Band-Aid on her ankle, which was not so swollen, but a faint bruise still can be seen.
Irene and Caroline were tacitly silent about the thing yesterday.
On the contrary, Leo said with a face full of apology, “Sorry, Miss Garcia, yesterday I answered Lydia’s call, so I asked Caroline to take the medical wine to you.”
Irene smiled, “It doesn’t matter, I don’t mind. Maybe some other time?”
Seeing Irene not angry, Leo felt relieved, “OK.”
“Are you crazy? !”
Caroline pulled Irene incredibly, “You just got the stone wall and you even got your ankle wounded. Why?”
Irene said, “I have loved him for five years and I cannot give up so easily.”
Caroline immediately fell into silence, and she did not know what to say.
“They are Jonah Watts and Laura Watts and they are the twins I mentioned yesterday.”
Alan said.
Irene was still angry of the thing yesterday and she said “We don’t wait for them.”
But Leo suddenly said, “No, we should wait. We should not only wait, but also welcome them.”
Those who knew Leo well was clear that Leo was unhappy now.
Another fifteen minutes later, the door of the meeting room was opened and the group of people came in.
A man and a woman looking alike seemed to be the leader.
They were handsome and beautiful with hooded eyes, which made the woman look pleasant, but the man look feminine.
“They are Jonah Watts and Laura Watts who just came back abroad.” Alan whispered.
Leo nodded and a sharp look flashed in his eyes.
Alan looked at them darkly, “Jonah, Laura, how dare you! So many people are waiting for you! If you don’t have a good reason, I will punish you!”
Laura did not say anything and sat down, as if she did not hear Alan.
Leo took a look at her, as she looked like his old friend.
Kate Lawson.
Jonah smiled and said to Alan, “Mr. Watts, we are family and why you so serious? Besides, we just got up late and we are not deliberate to be late.”
“Got up late?”
Alan was furious, “Today is the big day when the Atlas Group branch and J Group will sign a cooperation contract. You got up late? You looked down upon Leo and his people.”
“Cooperation?”
Jonah smiled in disdain, and looked at Leo, Irene, and Caroline, saying, “Cooperation? It’s nothing and why cannot we look down upon them?”
“So-called Cooperation, in fact, is the support of J Group to the Atlas Group, and they should look up at us.”
