Laura’s P.O.V. 

“Bright?” 

I got up and swiftly stood by his side, his unannounced return pleasantly surprised me. 

right was out of town because of his business meetings with clients and wasn’t supposed 

to come back for a week. 

Then how? 

Judging from fury reddening his face, it was evident that he watched the news of current hullabaloo in Lakon City. He threw a dirty glare at Leo when he said, 

“Pardon my offense, Mr. Bright. It was all in the past. I have changed. 

Now, I am trying …” 

Leo boasted about his revolution, calling it his redemption, but Bright didn’t trust his words. 

“Drop your act, Leo. I have known you since college. A dog’s tail can be straightened but not 

you. 

You will never change!” 

As this conversation crossed the boundary of manners, I chimed in as a moderator. 

“Leo is right, Bright. Melody plotted against me and got punished. Leo is striving his best to pay for his criminal negligence. 

Shouldn’t we be more compassionate?” 

Forcing a warm smile, I spoke gently. 

“If someone realizes their mistakes and attempts to repent, we should give him a chance after his painstaking efforts, Bright. 

That’s how life goes on beautifully. It’s good to be more flexible.”

I averted my face towards Bright, tricking Leo, and got an immediate result. From the corners of my eyes, I witnessed Leo’s venomous smirk, he mocked Bright by raising his 

brow. 

The vein pulsating on Bright’s forehead gave away his restraint as he formally bid farewell to that sly fox, maintaining his composure. If I were in his place, I would have shown my middle finger to Leo, but Bright’s maturity level was exemplary, 

Keeping his anger in check, his voice was devoid of emotions when he voiced his concerns 

Back in my office. 

“It’s not my place to comment on your personal matters. 

But please, Laura! 

Don’t trust Leo again. He hasn’t changed a bit.” 

Bright’s special quality to keep calm despite fury deeply moved my heart. I praised him. 

“You can interfere in my personal matters, Mr. Gentleman. I won’t mind.” 

Biting my lips with a mischievous grin, I teased Bright, but he rolled his eyes at me. 

“Oh, really? 

Then what was with that honey–sweet voice and addressing him as Leo, not Mr. Leo?* 

What? 

Bright’s observation of small details raced my heart, he was certainly jealous of Leo. Overjoyed by this realization, I asked him. 

“Am I smelling something sour in the air? 

Oh, it’s you!” 

Bright and I looked at each other and burst into a fit of laughter, his improved mood gave 

me some courage to pour my heart out. 

“I don’t have any proof yet, but I strongly believe that Mr. Leo is cooking something behind
