It'll Come Naturally novel Chapter 1316

The next morning, Leena got up very early. She had to go to FX International Group today. Justin refused to be a model for her show, so she had to turn to Edward for help.

"Hello, Mrs. Gu. Mr. Mu is at a meeting," Anna saw Leena and walked over to her, greeting her. She had always been a conscientious secretary.

"Hello, Anna. When would he be done with the meeting?" Leena smiled. She was her usual self, sweet and charming to everyone.

"In about an hour. Do you want to wait for him here?" Anna asked. She didn't think Leena would want to waste her time waiting over here.

"Um… I will go somewhere and come back later. Good-bye, Anna." As Anna had guessed, Leena didn't want to spend her time waiting here in boredom.

"Okay. I'll tell Mr. Mu that you arrived. Bye." Anna nodded. She watched Leena enter the elevator and turned away her gaze.

"Anna, do you know that she is the designer of the famous French brand LN FASHION?" As soon as Leena left, the other gossipy secretaries in the room gathered around Anna.

"Sure, I know that. Fashion magazines and weekly publications have reported her story. I've read them all. Now go on with your work. Work hard, or Mr. Mu will fire you if he comes to know that you slack off at work. You know we can't gossip during office hours." As the general secretary, Anna did her job well and tried to discourage the beautiful women at work who only wanted to marry a rich husband. Naturally, she offended a lot of people. However, this was her job. Even if they said bad things about her behind her back, she wouldn't change her work ethic. As the saying went, nothing could be accomplished without norms or standards. To have a foothold at FX International Group, they must work efficiently; otherwise they would get replaced. Anna's strictness and rigidity were for their own good.

Leena left FX International Group and went straight to the Leng Group building. She hadn't had a good talk with Duke since she recovered, so she wanted to see him.

Luckily, Duke was in his office. He was acting coldly toward her. She wondered if he was still mad at her.

"Duke, do you really not want to see me? Then I'll leave." Leena pretended to walk out in order to scare Duke into letting her stay. She knew he was pissed off because she had deceived him before.

"Are you aware that I'm your brother?" Duke finally spoke, although the look on his face hardened.

"Sure. You're the only man in my eyes." Leena bent over the desk and looked at Duke with wide eyes, trying to flatter him and make him believe her.

"If you know I'm your brother, why was I the last to know that you founded LN FASHION? Even outsiders knew it before I did. Tell me why." Duke put down his signature pen and pushed the documents aside, looking at Leena rather seriously.

"I'm sorry. I wanted to give you a surprise, but I didn't think you would be shocked, not pleasantly surprised. Don't be mad at me, okay? I came over to make an apology today." Leena's words were pitiful and innocent. She had no intention to hide this from Duke; she just thought it was not the right time. But then, she fell into the water accidentally. That was why Duke had a fit.

"Leena, I've never hidden anything from you. I hope you can do the same," Duke said. His tone was relaxed. He couldn't bear to see Leena's sorry expression. No matter how cold and heartless he was in front of others, he'd always be soft-hearted when it came to his sister.
