Leena looked at the man in front of her and looked him up and down. A big boy about twenty-five years old who had just returned from abroad should be a little younger than Miguel. Maybe it was because his hair was neat and clean, or because of his imposing manner, he looked more mature and thoughtful compared with Carlson, he still had age gap and experience gap. And there two families were foes. Could he have any friendship with Carlson?
But thinking about it carefully, why couldn't Carlson be friends with Lily, the son of Jack?
"Did you know Alina before? " Leena asked. If she was on good terms with Carlson, she wouldn't even listen to Alina.
"Yes, I know her." Daniel gave a meaningful smile, which confused Leena.
He said, "I saw him today. He is really fabulous."
"Really? Is he handsome?" Leena smiled sarcastically.
"But I'm more interested in Miss Leena than Alina."
Noticing that he no longer called her Carlson's wife, Leena asked directly, "Why are you interested in me?"
Daniel shook his goblet with a smile.
Leena speculated that what these people from the Empire Group were interested in her was just her identity. Once she was turned into Richard's granddaughter, nobody knew who were her parents. A large group of people wanted to use her, maybe she was really valuable, but she didn't know what it was.
"Miss Leena, have you ever stayed in Heaven Hotel before?" Daniel asked again.
It seemed that this boy knew everything abroad. He even knew that she was in heaven night. Then why was he still so enthusiastic to Alina just now?
Leena asked, "Do you like Alina?"
"Ha ha!" To her surprise, Daniel laughed out loud, which made Leena even more confused. Judging from his expression, she couldn't guess what he was thinking.
He knew that Alina was going to pretend to be the first time to meet her and talk to her warmly. In the end, he even invited her to dinner, as if he had a crush on her. But his smile was too abrupt now. If he really liked her, shouldn't he hide his feeling or be at a loss?
"Miss Leena, how about going to the Heaven Hotel with me another day?" He didn't answer her question, but asked again.
"Sorry, I have resigned from that company." Leena answered coldly.
Taking a sip of wine, Daniel looked at Leena with his blurred and bright eyes for a while. He stared so closely that Leena looked back at him and didn't know what he was going to do.
After drinking the wine slowly, he said, "Miss Leena, it seems that you hate Alina very much. Why didn't you say anything when you heard that I talked with her? You know her answer full of loopholes, right?"
It turned out that he knew Alina was telling lies. "I'm not familiar with your feet," said Leena with a smile. She meant that she didn't know him and it had nothing to do with her that he was cheated by Alina.
Daniel smiled faintly again.
