When he was looking at herself with an unpredictable and treacherous expression, it made her embarrassed as if she was standing in front of him stripped naked.
“Can we fall in love since we have reached a consensus.” He spoke with his bright eyes.
Such a sentence was like a shocking wave that hit Leila suddenly, and she immediately pressed her small hand on her chest as her heartbeat seemed to be so fast that it almost made her suffocate!
What did he say?
She pressed her body tightly against the elevator wall and lowered her head.
“What else do you want?” Vincent asked again and his light tone was so mysterious that Leila couldn’t figure it out.
She looked up to meet Vincent’s unpredictable handsome face and nodded her head. “Can you really do it?”
She couldn’t believe she was the only one of him. Did he know the meaning of the only one? It was a lifetime, not a quarter of an hour, not a day, a week, a month, a year but a down-to-earth lifetime!
“I hope my woman has faith in me!” Vincent’s eyes were smiling and the corner of his lips was raised.
“Alright! I’ll believe you for the last time!” Her soft voice showed determination and shyness. “Mr. White…”
Finally, she called him Mr. White again!
Vincent sighed in his heart as it wasn’t that easy!
The lift rose to the highest floor where Vincent walked in front while Leila followed behind. This was not the first time she came to the luxurious president’s office as she had delivered clothes for her sister last time. Thinking of that time, Leila felt sad as she wondered how her sister was doing these days!
“Huh? Vincent, Leila, why are you here together?” They met Arthur.
“I’m going to have lunch with you at noon before sending you away!” Vincent said in a deep voice.
“What?” Arthur immediately shouted, “My dear Mr. President, you are so cute that you are in a hurry to kick me out before I have even left?”
“Don’t you have to leave sooner or later?” Vincent raised his eyebrows.
“Fine, you are such a person who forget about your friend after settling your stuff. Well, I will definitely eat the most expensive one for lunch to spend most of your money!” Arthur said while winking at Leila, “Leila, how is it going on? Is it all ok?”
“Are you going to leave?” Leila was a little stunned when she heard their conversation and knowing that Arthur was going to leave. “Where are you going?”
“Yes!” Arthur nodded. “Don’t miss me too much, I’m going to the United States for six months so I won’t be able to see you for six months!”
“That long?” Leila sighed. “Why are you leaving?”
Leila shivered when Vincent’s eyes narrowed abruptly and his sharp gaze swept towards her. Did she say something wrong? What was that expression on his face?
Arthur understood Vincent’s sight, instead, he smiled even more ambiguously.
“Vincent, it is normal that Leila is reluctant to let go of me! There are not many good brothers like me! Is that right, Leila? Hahaha…”
“Are you looking for a fight?” Vincent’s cold words made Arthur’s face to stiffen.
Arthur then squinted his eyes as if annoyed looking at Vincent and said, “I just know that you have such an ability to ruin the atmosphere! I’m trying to give in to you but you don’t appreciate it, damn it! You are the one who looks for troubles! And you are the one who takes the undeserved gain for granted!”
“I find you are really too laid back!” Vincent snorted coldly then walked towards the president’s office. “Don’t eat and get on the plane right now to go to the United States if you have nothing to do!”
“Are you kicking me out? I won’t go! You are so heartless. You don’t easily have friends in this world like me who is so generous and loyal. You such a heartless bastard, and you’re pissing me off!”
Leila laughed as she felt they were so childish seeing these two men bickering.
Clara greeted Leila with a light smile as she knew her from the newspaper which had made Leila become the focus point of the F City while Leila returned a smile too.
Leila shyly lowered her head when Vincent took her hand and was about to enter the office. Standing at the front desk of the secretariat, Arthur felt comforted in his heart as he looked at the shy Leila.
A saying floated in his mind suddenly, “To love someone is to unconditionally want her to be happy! Even if he was not standing beside her, it would be enough as long as she was happy!”
His starry eyes were attracted by her slender and slim figure where there was a slightly shy smile on Leila’s face that made her look extremely feminine, yet, her sweet smile on her fair skin released a clean and natural aura, just like a natural jade which was clear and free from impurities. She was held by Vincent’s hand into the president’s office and the door was closed.
He had seen many beautiful and enchanting women but no one could be like Leila who had a natural temperament that made people feel comfortable.
“What are you looking at?” Clara’s hand reached out and shook in front of him to break his daze.

the writing is quite childish, but maybe it's just the translations...
