Her Tears Are His Weakness novel Chapter 103

Samantha felt like something was off about this situation. "You two... Could it be—"

Before she could finish, Layla cut her off firmly, "There's nothing going on between us. Don't talk nonsense! It's impossible. I would never dare to think like that."

At that moment, Layla was resolute, showing no trace of affection.

She analyzed calmly, saying, "I'm well aware of what kind of men are attainable and which ones aren't. Ethan's emotional intelligence might not be great, but he's smart, knows how to make money, and is good-looking.

"No matter how much we curse guys like him, they're still in high demand, with plenty of women chasing after them. There's no way someone like us could stand a chance. So never, ever, ever have any illusions about that kind of man. You can ask for his help, but falling in love with him? Absolutely not!"

Listening to these words, Samantha couldn't help but think about her own situation with Leonardo. It was exactly as Layla had described. She and Leonardo were simply impossible. His marriage proposal might have blinded her, causing her to lose all sense of reason.

Layla continued, "Women should stop overthinking and focus on doing something productive. Once we rise to success, what kind of man won't we be able to have?"

"Exactly!" Samantha felt like this was just the pep talk she needed. It was surprisingly uplifting.

…

As Leonardo walked through the office in Evergreen Corporation, employees greeted him. "Good morning, Mr. Garrett."

He gave a slight nod and headed straight to his office.

Simon and Fran were engaged in a conversation. Once Leonardo had left, Simon became more daring. "See that? I told you Mr. Garrett's in a good mood today. I was serious about it."

Fran couldn't help but feel a shiver run down his spine. He took a deep breath to steady himself before finally pushing the door open. "Mr. Garrett, here's the new marketing proposal for your review."

"Hmm." Leonardo lifted his hand in a casual gesture, signaling for him to hand it over.

Fran immediately stepped forward, presenting the documents with the utmost respect.

Leonardo carefully flipped through the pages, reading the content. When he reached the section about the requirements for the new season's brand ambassador, the first face that appeared in his mind was Samantha's. She was youthful, energetic, and beautiful. He almost felt like adding her name there.

The last few pages listed female celebrities for potential collaboration—Serena Morgan, Liliana Johnson, and Madeline Parker.

Yet, he was disappointed. None of these celebrities matched his vision. However, he couldn't be sure whether his mind was filled with thoughts of Samantha simply because he missed her or because she was truly the right fit.
