On the way to the DM Club, Leigh sends a message to his mother saying that he will go back later and asks her to pick Jessie up.
Leigh has waited for nearly half an hour at the DM Club before Mr. Gage and his people arrived. For the sake of money, he doesn't complain about it.
Fortunately, the contract is signed smoothly.
Mr. Gage's man wants to pour some wine for Leigh, but he covers his glass first and smiles, "Mr. Gage, I can't drink today. I'll just drink fruit juice."
"Mr. Leigh, what do you mean?" Mr. Gage is obviously not happy about this.
Leigh touches his glass with his juice and says, "Mr. Gage, I really respect you and I'm looking forward to our cooperation! I'm really sorry that I can't drink. Otherwise my wife is gonna have a lot to talk about."
Mr. Gage immediately understands what he means and laughs, "I didn't expect Mr. Leigh’ married. How come we don't know about her? Who is this lucky girl?"
Leigh smiles and says, "I'm not keeping it a secret. It's just that she's pregnant now, so..."
"Congratulations. A wife and a baby." Mr. Gage pats Leigh on his shoulder and drinks the glass of wine. "Then let's have a good drink after your child's born."
"Of course. At that time, I will drink as much as you want."
After a while, Leigh finally comes out of the room with the contract.
He tosses it to his secretary and pulls on his tie, seemingly exhausted. "Alright. Can I go back and celebrate my birthday now?"
"Mr. Leigh, shall I send you off?"
Leigh waves his hand and says, "I didn't drink. I will dive back by myself."
He walks out with his secretary, and a tall woman comes towards them, standing straight in front of them, so Leigh has to stop.
Leigh frowns, "Do you have something to tell me?"
"Leigh, I am Jana. We met at the ML Show. Don't you remember?" Jana waves her long hair, revealing her slender neck. But Leigh does not look at her at all.
"I don't know you. Please get out of the way!" Leigh directly pushes her away and passes by her.
Jana staggers to one side of the corridor, shocked a lot.
Jana thinks that they say Leigh never rejects any beauty. Why he acts so rude to her? Is it true that he is with Jessie?
Leigh walks a few steps and receives a call from his mother. He quickly answers, "Mom, I'm going back now."
"Isn't Jessie with you?"
Leigh frowns and says, "Didn't I tell you that I was about to sign the contract and let you pick her up?"
"I went to Smith Group. The receptionist said that she would take the afternoon off." Evelyn says, "I thought she went to find you. I couldn't get through to her just now."
"Wait me at home. Let me call her." Leigh hangs up the phone and quickly walks out. But Jana catches up to him and stops him.
Leigh is irritated and he says in an unpleasant tone, "Get out of the way! I am in a hurry!"
"Leigh, it only takes a few minutes. I want to show you something. It's about Jessie. You must be interested." Though frightened by Leigh, Jana plucks up the courage to say.
"Do you know her?"
"She contacted me first and that's how I know her." Jana says, "Leigh, can we talk alone?"
Leigh winks at the secretary and she quickly leaves.
Seeing there is an empty room, Leigh walks in and sits down on the sofa. He is going to smoke but throws the cigarette into the ashtray as soon as he thinks Jessie might not like it. Then he said coldly, "You'd better show me something important, or you will never have any chance to talk to me again!"
"It's all on the phone." "Miss Jessie contacted me and asked me to help her with something. Leigh, you must want to know what it is, right?" Jana hurriedly turns on her phone and hands it over.
