Back then, Charles's drift almost made Michelle puke her guts out. She didn't have time to look back to check who that man was. Charles said it so confidently that it didn't seem to be a lie, so she believed it.
Because she didn't see anyone following her, she didn't doubt the man who was wearing a hat in the community last night was actually no other but Leon. She was so excited that she forgot everything.
It never occurred to her that Leon was the one who had been following her all the way home.
She suddenly remembered that someone accidentally bumped into her on the plane. The thought excited her, she gasped, "Leon, did you take the same flight with me?"
"Aha, now you remember?" Leon flicked her forehead gently as a punishment and chuckled, "if I weren't there, you wouldn't know how long you could actually sleep."
"Oh, I was wrong." Michelle leaned her head on his shoulder, held his hand and pinched it jokingly. She grinned, "Come on, Leon, why don't you tell me?"
"Were you surprised yesterday?"
Michelle nodded. With a slight grin on his handsome face, Leon continued, "I just wanted to give you a surprise."
Then he turned to Charles and asked, "Have you ever learned racing before?"
When the topic changed, Charles was stunned for a moment, then he replied, "I've learned how to race from others and I used to race pretty much."
"Why don't you continue? My sister also likes to race cars," said Leon.
"Leon, are you talking about Michelle?" Charles looked back in the mirror and found that Michelle didn't look like a racer.
"No, my sister Nina."
"I see." It was not Charles's fault to misunderstand him. At the beginning, Leon really treated Michelle as his sister, and he never changed the way he called her. It seemed that they were both quite used to the way now.
However, now that they were a couple, things had changed a little differently. In the past, Michelle was always introduced as Leon's sister to the public, but now she was referred as Leon's wife.
Charles said bluntly, "I can't afford a racing car, so I won't continue. My hobby needs a lot of capital, money, talent and of course, free time. I am not particularly skilled, kind of mediocre to be honest with you. I couldn't make a living out of racing, so I have to change my profession accordingly."
"There is always a gap between dream and reality." Charles smiled bitterly. When he talked about his past, his eyes were always filled with disappointment. However, as time went by, he had already calmed down.
"I think it's a good idea to drive for you now." He said sincerely and a hint of gratitude could be sensed in his tone.
"What's so good about it?" asked Leon curiously.
"Your car is so awesome!" Charles couldn't hide his excitement in his voice, "and the salary is also high, much better than the ones I used to get when driving truck or taxi. When you are not in Lexingport City, you still pay me the money. To be honest with you, I am very flattered to receive salary while being idle."
Charles was not that kind of simple minded man. He was honest and decent. The fact that he was very flexible and whimsical was the key reason Leon trusted him. He knew he wouldn't play tricks on him.
As capable as Charles, he could even get rid of stalkers at critical moments.
Bryant did find a talent for him.
"There are many cars in my garage. You can drive whichever you like when you take me to places. Of course, you should pay attention to the occasions." Leon said with a kind smile.
Charles was so excited that he honked by accident. He said "thank you" all the way with a smile.
The three soon arrived at C Mansion.
When Leon was not at home, the housekeeper would come to clean the mansion regularly once a week. When he was at home, the housekeeper would come at a fixed time every day, and Leon would ask her to stay longer to prepare meals if it was necessary.
But most of the time, Leon wouldn't eat at home.
He would either dine in the restaurants outside, or in the North Yard.
Now that Michelle had moved in, the housekeeper had become a short-term servant of their family. The contract was signed for three months and she was assigned to live on the first floor.
Leon and Michelle's bedroom and cloakroom were on the second floor.
Shannon earnestly took Michelle's suitcase, carried it into the cloakroom and hung her dresses out neatly in the wardrobe.
Michelle didn't bring much luggage with her, but Leon had already prepared everything for her. Two thirds of the cloakroom were filled with Michelle's items, all kinds of fancy dresses and jewellery.
The decoration of the whole mansion was modern, luxury and slightly extravagant. It was mainly simple designed, and some delicate soft elements were used to show its owner's good taste. The decor was cheerful, bright and mind-lifting.
The master bedroom was of the same style.
However, Michelle's bedroom had a twist to it. There were many bright colours in the room and the shelves were full of lovely cute items.
The seemingly messy room gave her a warm feeling of home, casual and not reserved.
It was not the first time that Michelle had slept in Leon's bedroom. At that time, it was not her bedroom, so she would not have any uninvited idea.
But now the master bedroom was also her bedroom, so the idea of adding something cute to it natually came to her mind.
