Predestined Marriage novel Chapter 58

After sending it, Summer waited anxiously for Leonardo’s reply.

She had never been nervous when she texted Jerome before.

A colleague whispered from the side.

“I heard Stone asked for leave to rest at home.”

“What happened to him these past two days? He used to pretend to be diligent in the company every day!”

“…”

Just as Summer was listening with interest, another colleague joined the discussion.

They talked in a lower voice.

However, Summer still heard a few words. “… Summer… did… yesterday…”

Summer suddenly sneezed. Could it be that they were talking about her?

…

In the Tip Top Media Company.

The meeting room was completely quiet. Leonardo sat in the first seat, looked down, and expressionlessly flipped through the project report in his hand.

The senior managers were all sitting up, not daring to make a sound. After all, their real boss was worse-tempered than Carl.

The outside world thought Carl was the boss of the Tip Top Media Company. In fact, only the company’s senior managers knew that the man in front of them was the boss of the company. His whereabouts and identity were secret. Every time a major decision needed to be made in the company, he would turn up to preside over the meeting.

It had been a long time since Leonardo came to the company. Everything in the company had fallen on Carl. He needed to manage the company and attend all kinds of activities, which was indeed tiring.

Summer went to the Jarrett Group, so Leonardo could come to his company to deal with things.

Several directors in the company, together with some senior executives, wanted to make trouble. But that was not a big problem.

After reading the documents, Leonardo picked out some of them and put them aside neatly. The rest was thrown into the middle of the conference table, making a sound.

Everyone was shocked.

Leonardo looked up and slowly swept his gaze over the people present. He said seriously, “Everyone is the elders of our company. We’ve worked together for so long. I’ll give you one last chance to pick up the things yourself and give them to me after revising them properly.”

He stood up and left the conference room. Carl followed behind him and took away the neatly folded documents.

Returning to his office, Leonardo loosened his tie, sat on a chair behind his desk, and reached out to rub his temples.

Carl followed closely in and put down the documents in his hand. He frowned and said, “Will they do as you said?”

Leonardo’s face turned cold. “No one in our industry dares to employ the people who have been dismissed by the Tip Top Media Company.”

It sounded arrogant, but Carl knew that he had the right to be like this.

Although Carl also felt Leonardo had a bad temper and was arrogant, he was actually a kind person. Those old men had gone too far this time.

“If you have nothing to say, you can go back to your work.” Leonardo opened a drawer under his desk and took out a mobile phone.

When he pressed the power button, the screen lit up and he saw an unread message.

Unsurprisingly, it was a text message from Summer. “This is Summer. Thank you for giving me the phone. I like it very much.”

His gaze paused on the words “I like it very much” for a moment, and then he smiled.

Carl, who hadn’t left, couldn’t help but be curious when he saw Leonardo smiling at his phone. “Why are you smiling so happily at your phone? I’m very scared.”

Leonardo was in a good mood and said, “If you’re afraid, why don’t you just leave?”

Carl walked around to see what he was looking at. But Leonardo turned his phone upside down and placed it on the desk quickly as if there were eyes on his head.

Carl couldn’t believe it.

Alright, Leonardo. Very well!

After Carl left, Leonardo texted Summer back.

“I’m glad you like it.”

Leonardo didn’t even want to see Summer, so these words didn’t seem to be in line with Leonardo’s way of acting?

“Tim bought it.”

It was too deliberate.

In the end, Leonardo only sent “I see”.

Putting down his phone, Leonardo leaned back against the chair, a trace of irritation flashing through his pitch-black eyes.

Carl returned and pushed open the door. He walked up to Leonardo. “Leonardo, this is a big program invested by our company recently. I put the information here. Have a look later.”

“Wait.”

Carl put down the materials and was about to leave when Leonardo called him. Carl turned around blankly and said, “Anything else, Sir?”

Leonardo coughed to hide his embarrassment. He knocked on the table a few times and expressionlessly said, “Do you think I should tell Summer that I am Leonardo?”

After saying that, he coldly added, “If you dare to laugh, your star will not have any role to play.”

Although he knew that Leonardo was only threatening him and would not do that, Carl still suppressed the laugher that he almost burst into.

Carl blushed and said seriously, “You’d better tell her immediately.”

Leonardo knew that Carl was trying to trick him.

He picked up the documents and threw them at Carl. “Get out of here now.”

“Alright. I’m leaving now …” Carl didn’t hold back his laughter anymore.

Carl felt he didn’t waste his life away. In his lifetime, he could see Leonardo became upset because of a woman!

He was going to share this interesting news with Warren.

Leonardo tightly pursed his lips and expressionlessly picked up the pen container. He quickly and ruthlessly smashed it towards Carl, who had already arrived at the door.

“Ah!”

Carl’s miserable scream made Leonardo feel a little more comfortable.

Immediately, he knitted his eyebrows again. It was not the right time to tell Summer that he was Leonardo.

He needed an opportunity.

…

Summer waited for a long time before Leonardo replied.

Although it was only two words, Summer was already satisfied.

At lunchtime, a few female colleagues came to her.

“Summer, let’s go eat together.”

Summer noticed the desire for gossips in their eyes.

Summer felt that they might have known the matter of her dealing with Stone.

She didn’t know how long she would stay in the Jarrett Group. She smiled and nodded, “OK.”

Even though they were all women, the attractive look on her face when Summer smiled made her colleagues dumbfounded.

There weren’t many restaurants near the company. Even though they just randomly chose a restaurant, they still coincidentally met Vicky and her father.

They were all leaders, so Summer’s colleagues went over to greet them, “President, Manager Vicky.”

Vicky was the manager of the project department. Of course, she was not that capable. Her subordinates did the work.

Summer didn’t want to be eye-catching, so she also went over to greet them.

“Dad, Vicky.”
