It'll Come Naturally novel Chapter 500

"Leena, don't forget who is running the business. Unless I intend to do so, do you think it's possible that I would let these negative reports appear on the newspaper? Don't underestimated me."

Edward smiled conceitedly. Did Leena really think that these ugly news were dug out by the paparazzi? Without his permission, they wouldn't have had the nerve to report any of these at all.

"Yes, it seems so. Whoever upsets the FX International Group would pay for it with their life and career. No wonder Rain always claims that you're a vicious, greedy, and ruthless capitalist who always enslaves workers and watches them work themselves to the bone."

Leena narrowed her eyes and pretended to look at him with disgust, as if Edward really worked his employees to death.

"Leena, are you praising me? Or blaming me? Why do you sound so strange? Or do you really believe what Rain said about me? You know how Rain is, he likes to exaggerate things." Edward laid back against his seat like a lazy lion about to go out to hunt for prey. There was a gentle smile on his handsome face, resembling warm and hazy morning sunshine.

"Of course I'm praising you. But whom are we meeting with?" Leena was very clever, she quickly realized Edward's true intentions for inviting her out. If it hadn't been to ask her to meet with someone, he wouldn't have demanded her to dress like this for a simple meeting. Moreover, he put the antique necklace around her neck.

"You'll find out when we arrive. Don't ask any questions when we get there and don't talk too much. Just follow my lead and do as I say." Edward was a fascinating man. Every movement he made looked graceful and dignified. Even when he reached out his hand to pinch Leena's cheeks, the charming smile he showed could take anyone's breath away.

"Why are you treating me like a fool?" Leena gently waved his hand away. The more he spoke, the more she felt like she would need to act dumb later. She wasn't allowed to ask or say anything. Was she a fool in everyone else's eyes?

"Haha! Yes, you're such a lovely fool." Edward smiled gently and continued to pinch her nose. It amused him when he occasionally teased Leena.

"Mr. Mu, we have arrived." Luke had been watching their exchange through the rear-view mirror. The scene looked very warm and harmonious. He didn't know much about Leena, but he knew how much Leena meant to Edward. Before Mrs. Mu, Leena was probably the first woman who Edward was willing to share his true feelings with. Even Edward's mother didn't have the chance to enjoy this privilege.

"Okay. Leena, let's go." As soon as he spoke, Edward opened the door and got off the car first. Then he reached out his hand to gracefully help Leena out of the car. When Edward turned around and moved to walk into the restaurant, Leena stopped him.

"Edward, wait a moment. I'll take off my coat." Leena took off the coat that Edward had asked her to wear. It was fine to wear it in the car, but she felt it was inappropriate to walk into the restaurant dressed like this.

"Didn't you say that you feel cold? You can keep wearing the coat." Edward frowned. Although he thought that the coat might cover the necklace and prevent it from attracting attention, he felt that it was more important to protect Leena from cold.

"Oh my god, don't you think I look awkward with this coat?" Leena felt annoyed and gently touched her forehead. As a fashion designer, the thing she despised the most was to see people ruin the value of every piece of clothing. It was impossible for her to compromise her aesthetic views. This would make her look very unprofessional.

"I don't think so. You're a married woman, who would be interested in looking at you?" Despite Edward's harsh reply, he still took the coat from Leena's hand. The temperature in the car was cool, but now that they were standing under the sun, they felt very warm now.

"Huh! Do I look like a married woman? Can't you see that I look as young as a middle school student?" Leena refuted as she caught up with Edward's pace, her alluring red lips pouting. Edward's remark drove her crazy.

"Even if you compare yourself to a primary school student, you're still a married woman, it will never change." Like Duke, Edward couldn't understand Leena's sudden marriage either. So he occasionally brought it up to tease her.

"Yes, I'm married. But what makes you think that I look like a married woman?" Leena lowered her head to examine her clothes. The dress was the latest style in fashion design. She thought it looked modern and stylish. But why would Edward speak as if she really looked distasteful?

"You look like a married woman from head to toe." Edward glanced over the restaurant with his cold blue eyes. He came to a conclusion without even looking at Leena. They had arrived late, because most of the best seats were already taken. It would be optimal to carry out his plan in a good spot.

"Huh! You either have poor eyes or have a senile mind." Leena continued to argue with Edward, not noticing that they were attracting the attention of everyone in the restaurant. Edward was handsome and Leena was graceful, not to mention the gorgeous necklace that Leena wore on her neck. The patrons in the restaurant were so fascinated by the necklace that they couldn't take their eyes off it.

"Let's find a table that will be easily noticed and sit down. Then we can take it easy and discuss this question." Edward led her to the table situated in the middle of the hall and near the entrance. Then he sat down with Leena on the same side, facing the entrance. The position put them in a good view for the public. Whenever customers entered, they would easily notice them.

"Edward, do you think you're not striking enough? Why do you want us to sit here?" Leena drew back her neck. She regretted giving the coat back to Edward, because the glowing eyes boring into her from the crowd almost melted her. Their attention was focused on the sensitive spot under her neck. Although she wasn't that curvaceous and her breasts and hips weren't that sexy, she was a graceful lady with a slim and tall figure. They all gazed at general direction of her breasts. Even though Leena knew that they were intrigued with the necklace, she wasn't used to being under the spotlight like this.

"This is exactly the effect I want. Just wait patiently. We'll watch a good show later. But before that, let's eat something. I'm afraid we won't feel like eating once the drama begins." Edward grinned playfully at her. On a regular occasion, he would have gone to a private box, instead of sitting out here and being watched like monkeys. But because they came here with a special purpose this time, he needed to keep a high profile.
