The phone call was from chairman Zimmer who asked about her sudden departure with Leo. Amelia didn't tell him about what happened in the bathroom only said that she had something to attend to and didn't know anything about Leo's situation.Chairman Zimmer didn't press further and they exchanged a few more pleasantries before hanging up. After the call, Amelia looked at Leo and said, “Thank you for today.”Regardless of anything else, Leo had saved her today. Amelia wasn't the type to forget kindness, but she wouldn't give up seeking revenge.Leo seemed to realize only then that their current relationship was not ideal. His previously calm expression turned cold and he snorted, “Who cares about your thanks.”Amelia handed him the bank card that the drunk man had given her. “I don't have anything to repay you with, nor do I want to owe you any favors. Just take this card as a token of appreciation. From now on let's keep our distance and avoid any further entanglement.”Leo's face imme
She quickly dismissed her thought. ‘No, it's impossible.’ Amelia had died a long time ago, lost in the vast and icy sea. How could she possibly be the person in charge of One Closet? It must be just a coincidence. After all, so many people have the surname Smith and it was ridiculous to suspect that anyone with the same surname and age was related to Amelia. With this in mind, Sophia took a deep breath and ordered, “Continue the investigation and find out everything about the lady in question.” “Yes ma'am.” After hanging up the phone she went to Leo's office. “Leo, are you done with your work?” Leo was sitting behind his desk dealing with official business. Without looking up he replied, “What's the matter?” Sophia pouted in dissatisfaction. “Didn't you promise to have lunch with me today? Have you forgotten?” Leo paused for a moment. He had indeed promised her. That night he had left without saying goodbye outside the Coffee Shop. When Sophia brought it up later, he had pr
Amelia was squatting on the ground, her small face pale with pain, and sweat beads on her forehead. When she saw them come in she weakly waved at them.“Hey! Are you done with the meeting?”Leo frowned and walked up to her, pulling her up.“What are you doing here? Didn't James tell you to wait outside?”It was only then that he saw the blood-stained pants on the ground.Amelia smiled apologetically, “Umm… Sorry about that, you have to send someone to clean the sofa but don't worry I'll pay for it. If you really can't stand it you can throw it away and buy a new one.”At this point, Leo understood what had happened. His brows suddenly relaxed and he turned to James.“Go buy a box of painkillers.”“Okay, sir.”After James left he looked at Amelia, “Can you walk?”Amelia nodded.Leo helped her sit on the sofa outside. Looking at her painful expression and reluctance to speak, he felt a little helpless for the first time. He wasn't an ignorant young man, during his three-year marriage w
Leo turned around and frowned when he saw the pants on the ground. He instructed James, “Take it and throw it away.”“Yes sir.”James stepped forward but was stopped by Sophia.“Don't throw it away,” she exclaimed.“This is a woman's pants. Leo, won't you explain it to me?”Leo looked at her coldly, “Explain what? Whether I'm hiding a woman in my office? If that's what you are asking then I can tell you for sure, no.”Sophia stood there looking at Leo's cold and heartless expression, feeling a chill in her heart.She had been with Leo for six years.During those years, she had done her best and never dared to make him angry or do anything out of line.She thought that this would earn her Leo's favor, but what was the result? As his girlfriend, she found this kind of thing in her boyfriend's office and she didn't even have the right to ask a single question.Sophia's eyes gradually turned red.Leo saw this and felt a twinge of annoyance.He was not a person who likes to explain but th
With a slight smile, Amelia extended her hand.“Hello, I'm the vice president of Wilson's Group and the head of the domestic branch. It's been a long time manager Jones.”The assistant next to her was a little surprised.“Miss Smith I didn't know you knew our manager.”Amelia smiled, “Of course not only did we know each other, but we were also the best of friends who were closer than sisters.”As she spoke she took Sophia's hand and felt the cold sweat in her palm.The assistant laughed, “In that case, I won't disturb you two. I'll go make some coffee for you.”“No need.”Sophia suddenly spoke up, her face was pale and her lips trembled slightly in fear.“You go out, close the door, and don't let anyone in without my permission.”The assistant was taken aback sensing that something was wrong with Sophia, but didn't dare to say anything.In the end, she obediently left.The door clicked shut.Amelia smiled and looked at her.“Sophia it's been six years since we last met and as an old f
The next day Amelia took her team to the client's house that had reported. She pulled out a fake ID and smiled, “Hello we are from the market supervision bureau, we would like to conduct another investigation concerning your complaint against Wilson's Group, is that okay?”The client was a middle-aged couple who hesitantly nodded upon seeing her work ID. “Oh, sure.”They let the group into their small two-bedroom apartment.Amelia asked Mark to chat with them while she wandered around the room. The couple seemed to have an average income, judging from the furnishing and decoration in the room. Next to the second bedroom was a small storage filled with clothes. Amelia walked over and was about to pick up a piece of clothing when the woman behind her stopped her.“Hey don't touch that.” She hurried over and stood in front of Amelia.“This is where I keep my clothes, it's messy in there and there is nothing worth seeing.”Amelia raised an eyebrow and smiled, “Don't worry I'm just taking
Lisa trembled as she stood up, “Manager Jones is feeling unwell today and has taken a leave of absence, sir.” “Hmph! How convenient. She never takes a day off but she chooses today to do so. Did she cause a mess and hide away leaving us to clean up after her?” Someone nearby tried to calm the situation. “Mr Reynold, please calm down. It's not like Manager Jones did it on purpose. Let's wait for her to come back and see what she has to say.” Someone else looked at Leo with glee, “Mr. Reynold Manager Jones is your fiancee she wouldn't have done this without your consent right?” Leo glared at him, “What are you trying to say, director White?” “I'm just making a reasonable guess,” he shrugged and smiled. “After all, you are the heir of the company. Who you use and what you do with them is not something a mere director like me can interfere with.” “But even if I don't interfere, this matter has caused such a big commotion. If it reaches the old man's ears, I'm afraid it won't
A black car drove in. Five black-clad bodyguards jumped out of the car and quickly surrounded them.Leo walked in front and when Cobra and the others saw him their faces changed immediately. Without hesitation, they pushed Amelia towards him and ran in the other direction.“Get them,” Leo shouted angrily.James immediately led the bodyguards to chase after them.Leo looked at Amelia who was in his arms and asked, “Are you okay?”Amelia was a little dazed.At that moment she thought she was going to die.She even thought about her funeral and the scene of meeting Henry in the afterlife.But unexpectedly Leo broke in at the critical moment like a god who had descended from the sky and saved her from the butcher knife.Her mood was a bit complicated for a while.Leo saw her dazed and couldn't help but wave his hand in front of her.“Amelia! Amelia!!”Amelia came back to her senses and quickly said, “I'm fine.”She tried to stand up but her legs suddenly went weak and she fell into Leo's
