Viola's back stiffened, and she unconsciously took a look at the medical aisle, where Steven was staring out of the window. She did not know what he was thinking.
She pinched the phone and said, “Where did you hear the rumor? It's just that he's pestering me.”
“He came to you today, and the whole company knows.”
Leonard laughed on the other end of the phone without showing any particular emotion. “Relax, Steven is shameless, of course I know what's going on. Personally, I hate him, but I don't speak for you, and I have no interest in getting into your business. His position will indeed be a great advantage to us, as can be seen in this incident of the horse farm. Just stay alert and don’t make troubles.”
Viola was stunned, was Leonard showing her democracy?
“Yes, I won't let you down,” she whispered, pretending she was calm.
After hanging up the phone, Viola was confused about the meaning of Leonard.
From Steven's appearance to now, Leonard disliked him.
In this dialogue, however, the meaning was ambiguous. Did he mean that she could use Steven's feelings for the benefit of the Shaws Group?
Viola's mood became complicated, because she did not want to take advantage of Steven’s feelings. She might be guilty.
For a long time, Viola did not move, but just stared at Steven.
Sensing her gaze, Steven turned around, smiled at her and walked toward her, “Have you finished reporting?”
“Yes.” Viola looked away and awkwardly fixed her eyes on Sucy who was still in a coma through the window.
“Don't worry, she'll wake up tomorrow. I'll keep Jordan here until then.” Thinking she was worried, Steven reached out and touched her head.
“It's time for dinner. What would you like to eat? It's my treat.”
“There's a western restaurant near here that makes fantastic steaks, or Chinese food, if you like.”
