Predestined Marriage novel Chapter 139

Summer nodded, "I know."

She took a deep breath before picking up the phone.

The first thing Leonardo said was, "What happened?"

It sounded like she wouldn't call him if nothing had happened.

Summer thought for a moment, and it was indeed like this.

Normally, she wouldn't call Leonardo when she was fine.

"Nothing." After Summer finished speaking, she planned to change the topic and ask, "Are you busy at work?"

Leonardo was not that easy to fool. He did not believe Summer's words, "If there is nothing else, why do you call me?"

Summer replied, "You mean I can't call you if I'm fine?"

After a few seconds of silence on the other end of the phone, Leonardo said meaningfully, "Are you calling to check up on me?"

Summer did not react for a while, "What check?"

Leonardo said, "Nothing much. You can call me more if you're free."

Douglas, who was eavesdropping on the phone, couldn't help but laugh.

Summer turned her head and glared at Douglas. Although her eyes did not have the slightest deterrent effect, Douglas still made a zipper gesture at the side of his mouth very cooperatively.

Leonardo recognized Douglas’ voice, "Are you with Douglas?"

Summer panicked for a moment and said, "Yeah, I got off work a little early today, so I plan to go back with Douglas."

"You get off work early. But can Douglas leave school early?"

It seemed like he couldn't...

Douglas looked at Summer with disdain and leaned over to her cell phone without changing his expression. He lied, "Our last class is PE, so it's fine if I don't attend it."

Fortunately, Leonardo did not ask any further, "Tim will pick you up."

"No need. We can take a taxi to your company ourselves." When Summer reacted, she had already said something.

Leonardo's intention was to have Tim pick her and Douglas up, while her intention was to go to Tip Top to find Leonardo.

Leonardo paused slightly and said in an unquestionable tone, "Let him pick you up."

...

Tim quickly drove over.

He drove the car to the parking lot and took Summer and Douglas into the president's private elevator with a swipe of his card.

Summer used to work in a small company and did not have the exclusive elevator. Because the Jarrett Group's office building was built very early, there was also no exclusive elevator.

This was the first time Summer took this kind of elevator. She felt that it was quite fresh.

"Mr. Emerson, they're here."

He brought the two of them to Leonardo's office and left.

Summer pushed the door open and entered. She saw Leonardo sitting behind his desk.

He was closing the documents in his hand and getting ready to stand up.

When he raised his head and saw Summer, the corner of his mouth slightly raised, "You're coming."

"Yes." Summer answered awkwardly and walked to the sofa on the side to sit down.

Douglas was looking around in his office.

Leonardo walked behind Summer and placed his hands on the back of the sofa. He bent over to look at her face and asked, "What would you like to drink?"

"Nothing. When do you get off work?"

Leonardo raised his hand and looked at his watch, "Almost there."

Originally, there was still a meeting. But Summer was in a hurry to go back. He could push it off.

At this time, the secretary knocked on the door and said, "Mr. Emerson, I have sorted out the meeting materials at 4:30."

Summer look at him, "You have a meeting?"

When she looked up at him, he was the only man in her eyes.

Leonardo said gently, "It's not important."

Summer also sensed that his voice was unusually gentle. Her heart raced fiercely. She moved to the side, "If you have something to do, you can go and do it. I'll wait for you for a while."

She was apparently shy.

But when she said that she would wait for him for a while, she was very obedient.

He wanted to kiss her.

Leonardo raised his head and looked in Douglas’ direction. Douglas also happened to look in their direction with a book in his hand.

Leonardo raised his hand and signaled for him to turn around.

Douglas rolled his eyes and reluctantly turned around, pretending to continue studying the books on the bookshelf.

Summer couldn't see Leonardo's movements and felt that he hadn't left yet. She couldn't help but turn around and urge him, "You go quickly."

As soon as she finished speaking, Leonardo suddenly kissed her.

Summer couldn't dodge.

After that kiss finished, Leonardo lightly kissed her lips again. "I'll be back soon."

Summer did not have the mood to listen to what he said. She turned her head and looked in the direction of Douglas, only to find that Douglas was still reading with his back to them. Only then did she breathe a sigh of relief.

When Douglas heard the sound of the door closing, he quietly turned his head to take a look, and then guiltily put back the book in his hand. The expression on his face was wonderful.

Holy shit! That man actually had human feelings! And he kissed Summer!

I should have taken a picture for mom just now!

Mother had always told him that she was worried that Leonardo would never be able to find a partner in this lifetime!

...

Leonardo said that he would come back very quickly. That was real.

It only took him ten minutes to get back.

They took the elevator to the underground parking lot.

Leonardo glanced at Douglas and said, "Did you fight with someone?"

Douglas curled his lips and said, "Yes."

Although Leonardo couldn't know the reason for his fight, Leonardo must have seen the bandages on his face.

He finally understood what "hiberdating" meant.

Leonardo was probably this kind of person.

Leonardo's expression did not change. "Is that why Summer went to your school?"

"Otherwise? Do I have to call..."

The last word "you" was stuck in his throat. Douglas didn't know whether to say it or not.

He shrank back into the elevator, trying to minimize his presence.

Why ... did he say it out loud?

Summer looked at Douglas sadly. She could not help him!

Leonardo smiled unknowingly. Douglas trembled and hid behind Summer.

Summer lowered her head to look at the tip of her shoe, pretending that she didn't know anything.

When they exited the elevator, Leonardo walked at the front, Summer and Douglas following behind.

Summer felt that she and Douglas were like two children who had made mistakes and were afraid of being scolded by their parents, and Leonardo was that parent.

She was shocked by her metaphor.

Summer turned around and silently pulled back the arm that Douglas was pulling, "Douglas, take care!"

"..."

When they got in the car, Summer still decided to help Douglas. She took the initiative to sit in the back and sat with Leonardo.

However, after sitting beside Leonardo for only three seconds, she regretted it.
