A Flash Marriage Can Be A Treasure novel Chapter 380

Chace takes Leigh to his father's private room for business.

On the way there, Chace chats with him, "Presidents of both HS Group and YX Group are there. Leigh, if the negotiation works out, just share a little bit with me."

Leigh holds the cigarette in his mouth and lights it. As he puts away the lighter, he slaps Chace on the forehead and says, "I know. I won't forget to make it up for you."

Chace chuckles, "Fantastic! I know you are a generous man!"

After arriving, Chace leads Leigh into the private room.

This private room is very big, and the lights are dim. They can see several men sitting on the sofa discussing something.

"Dad." Chace greets one of the men and points at Leigh. "This is Leigh, you should know him!"

Dereon looks at Leigh and smiles. "Of course I know the young and famous Mr. Leigh."

"Thank you. I'm still young, and have a lot to learn from you." Leigh says humbly, "I've just taken over the Lewis Group, and I don't have many resources. I hear from Chace that you are here for business, so I want your advice."

Dereon pretends to be angry and says, "What advice? You are young and promising and are a good friend of my son. So, we are friends as well. And I've been looking forward to working with the Lewis Group for a long time!"

Leigh smiles and says, "As long as you think so, we can cooperate on anything."

After chatting for a while, Leigh sits down.

Dereon introduces the other men on the sofa to Leigh.

Leigh hears their names, and coincidently, they are the five people who have not been eliminated on Jessie's memorandum.

Leigh shakes hands with them one by one with a catering smile on his face. However, he thinks to himself. 'I am so lucky today. I meet the five people in one time and in one room.'

Those men just cotton to Derek and they don't like Leigh. But since Leigh has taken over the Lewis Group, they show him some respect during the conversation.

They talked about business while drinking for more than two hours and the atmosphere was harmonious.

Leigh says that he needs to get some air and he leaves for the bathroom outside.

As soon as he leaves the room, he walks quicker. After entering the bathroom, he dials a number.

"Mr. Leigh, how can I help?"

"Where are you?"

"What else can I do except eating and sleeping for night? I am at my girlfriend's place." Kay is puzzled. "Does Mr. Leigh have a task for me?"

Leigh lights a cigarette and exhales. "I have something personal for you to take care of," he says.

...

After the call, Leigh returns to the private room.

Another hour passed. They've done drinking the talking about business and they stand up to leave. Leigh follows them out.

There are two cars parked on the roadside. Apparently, they are there for president of HS Group.

Taking notice of which car Mr. Clay is heading for, Leigh goes one step ahead and opens the door for him, "Mr. Clay, I've learned so much from the conversation with you and I hope that I can have the chance to talk to you again."

"Okay! Your father and I are friends, and I will have you on the list when there is a chance to work together!"

Leigh smiles and says, "Thank you."

After Mr. Clay boards the car, Leigh closes the car door. He stands tall and watches the two cars leaving the clubhouse one after another with gloomy eyes.

"Leigh, why do you freeze?" Chace walks over and puts one hand on his shoulder. "You are impressive, you fit in so quickly. You'll definitely win a lot of contracts from them in the future!"

Leigh flicks the cigarette and stares at the empty road while snorting in his heart.

They have to count on their luck!

...

After that night, Jessie was cleaned by the servant and her wrist was put back, but she smiled less. She would stay in the bedroom quietly when the servants keep close watch on her. She's like a caged bird.

After that night, Leigh stops coming.

Although Jessie was grounded on the third floor, other than the phone, servants would get everything for her. She keeps her routine of eating, sleeping and reading.

Occasionally, when the weather is fine, she would move the drawing board to the window and bathe in the sun. She would look out into the distance and draw what she sees. She could do this for an afternoon.

She doesn't even have a clock in the bedroom. She has no idea how many days has passed.

"Miss Jessie." A servant knocks on the door and comes in. It is a young man with a plate in his hand. He places the plate on the table and says, "It's time for lunch."

"Okay." Jessie replies.

She puts down the brush to eat and she notices that the servant is a young man. He looks ordinary, but his body is in good proportion, which makes him more handsome.

Jessie glances at him. "Why haven't I seen you before? You are new?"

"My aunt is ill. I took her place." The servant thinks that she dislikes him so he says, "It's just today. Please don't tell Mr. Leigh."

"It's fine, you did it for a reason." Thinking of Leigh, Jessie feels a pain in her heart. She sits down to have lunch while the servant is waiting.

There is not too much for lunch, so Jessie finishes it soon. And then she goes back to her painting.

She is thirsty and asks some water from the servants. When she raises her head, she discovers that it is still him.

The servant says carefully, "It should be my aunt's turn. Miss Jessie, if you don't like me, I will go and ask someone else up."

"You don't have to." Normally, the servants will stand there with their heads down. They basically don't speak to Jessie. Now someone is talking, Jessie doesn't feeling like shutting him down.

She points at the sofa and instructs, "Move the sofa here."

The servant does so.

After the sofa is moved over, Jessie lets him sit on it and stuffs the pot of sunflowers that was sent here in the morning into his arms.

The servant is shocked and wants to get up.

Jessie presses down on his shoulder and makes him sit back. "Anyway, you are going to watch me for the day, how about you modeling for me? Sit here and hold the pot. Don't move!"

Under Jessie's orders, the servant holds the pot and sits there, not daring to move.

Jessie sizes the man up and sketches on with her brush on the drawing board.

However, when she looks at the man again, he seems to automatically change into Leigh's face.

He is not sitting there but leisurely lying on it with a bouquet of sunflowers in his arms and smiling at her. "Baby, drawing like this is so boring. How about I take off my clothes and you draw my nude?"

The brush in Jessie's hand is still moving, but her soul has left her body.

When she looks at the drawing board, she finds that it is a man lying on the sofa.

He is in white clothes and black trousers with sunflowers in his arms. But his outline has not been finished yet.

Jessie rubs herself between the eyes.

She is just painting a random servant, but why the man on the drawing board becomes Leigh as she progresses?

The servant is still sitting upright on the sofa, not daring to move. Seeing that Jessie stops, he asks, "Miss Jessie, why don't you draw? Are you done?"

"No, it looks bad and I need to redraw it." Jessie says.

She wants to tear off the unfinished painting, so she pauses for a moment, then takes it down together with the drawing board and puts it away. She puts up another board.
