Three days later, Leah was discharged from the hospital smoothly. Her graduation certificate was handed to her as scheduled. It was a sunny day with birds singing and flowers smelling.
But it was a pity that Charlie didn't come to pick her up. On the contrary, Mr. Barton attached great importance to his granddaughter-in-law and personally came to pick her up from the hospital.
Leah looked at the four Audi cars at the gate of the hospital. Well, Mr. Barton was more reliable and low-key. The bodyguards standing next to the cars were a little eye-catching, and the people in the hospital all looked at them.
Seeing Leah coming out of the hospital, Mr. Barton walked up straight, and the bodyguards immediately stood behind Mr. Barton.
"Leah, how are you feeling?" Mr. Barton was as kind as usual.
"Thank you for your concern, Grandpa. I'm fine." Leah replied politely.
"Mr. Barton and Miss Leah, please get in the car." The bodyguard saw her and opened the door respectfully.
"Grandpa, you go first."
"Okay." Mr. Barton smiled, but there was no warmth in his eyes. Although she grew up in an orphanage, it seemed that her mother had a good education for her. She was a graduate from a famous university, and it was not simple.
He thought of the woman he hadn't seen for thirteen years. Back then, she was so popular that many people fell in love with her, including his dead son.
"Grandpa, please drive me to the old street."
"Leah, I want you to go to my family and accompany me."
"Well..."
"It seems that I am a nuisance." Mr. Barton pretended to be sad.
[叶歆瑶] had no choice. He would be her family in the future. She couldn't make him sad. "Grandpa, I'll accompany you. I won't go to the old street."
"Okay, okay, ha ha." Mr. Barton laughed.
At the door of the house, Mr. Barton and Leah got off the car and walked side by side. They chatted and entered the house.
In the distance, behind a tree, a man wearing a peaked cap looked at the photo taken by the camera in his hand and couldn't help feeling happy. It was another big news.
"Mr. Charlie, we have taken the photos."
"Okay."
"The money?"
"After it's done, I'll give it to you."
"Mr. Charlie, you are so straightforward."
In the old-fashioned study of the house, an old man and a girl were fighting on the chessboard. After a confrontation, the white chess was defeated.
"I lost." Leah was a little depressed. As soon as Mr. Barton came in, he played chess with her. He didn't understand her at all.
"Ha ha, [小叶], that's great. You are good at playing chess." Mr. Barton looked at her depressed face and couldn't help laughing.
He was right. Her mother was a good chess player. The chess game represented the structure of a person. Although this girl was not as shrewd as her mother, it was just that no one cultivated her. If she married into the family, the family would definitely be prosperous.
"Then I still lose."
"I have played chess for my whole life. If you make me lose. I'll lose my face. Ordinary people may lose within three moves, and even Charlie can only withstand five moves. But you have forced me to a dead corner many times. I won just by luck. " There was a hint of slyness in his eyes.
"Well, let's have lunch at the Rong family. I'll call Charlie back."
"Okay."
In the CEO's office of the Glory Group, Charlie put down the phone. Asked him to go back for dinner?
Looking at the naked and seductive woman in his arms, he felt hot in his heart and clenched her bright red lips hard.
"Ah..." A charming groan came out of the woman's mouth.
It was not until they both couldn't breathe that Charlie let go of her.
"My grandfather asked me to have dinner with Leah." A hint of sneer flashed through Charlie's eyes.
"Then what do you think?" The woman cleared her eyes.
"I have to obey him these days. After all, the shares are still in his hands." Charlie was not stupid. He had to make his grandfather believe that he really wanted to get engaged.
"What about me?" The woman in his arms complained.
"Alina, baby, wait for me in the bar tonight." Charlie raised his eyebrows and looked down at the woman in his arms, with his hands moving up and down her enchanting body.
"You are so annoying." Alina smiled sweetly. Soon, she would be Mrs. Rong of the Glory Group.
"Come in." the manager was working. Seeing Leah, he stood up and asked, "Leah, why are you here?"
"I want to say thank you." Leah bowed.
"Don't say thanks to me. That's what Mr. Lucian wants."
"Mr. Lucian?"
"Yes. Mr. Lucian said that we should avoid what happened last time, so he changed your job."
"I see." Leah left the office politely.
Mr. Barton? The boss was so considerate. No matter what, she had to say thanks to him.
Leah found his number on her phone and called him.
After three rings, the phone was picked up. "Hello."
"Mr. Lucian? I'm Leah."
"What's the matter?" In the CEO Office, Lucian tried her best to control his excitement and make his voice as cold as before.
Hearing Lucian's voice, she was inexplicably nervous. "I want to thank you for changing my job."
"No, it's my duty to care about my employees."
"Okay." Somehow, Leah felt a little disappointed.
There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone. Lucian's voice sounded again, "Do you really want to thank me?"
"Of course."
"Then let's have dinner together after work as your gift."
"Okay." Leah agreed without hesitation. Such a considerate boss was just having a meal. Moreover, he was handsome. She wouldn't suffer any loss.
In the CEO's office, Lucian looked at the phone that had been hung up. After a long time, the corners of his mouth slowly raised. He didn't know why, but he always felt familiar with Leah. He eagerly wanted to get close to her, and he believed his intuition was right.
The pale light fell on his delicate face, emitting a charming color.
