Predestined Marriage novel Chapter 139

Summer nodded, "I know."

She took a deep breath before picking up the phone.

The first thing Leonardo said was, "What happened?"

It sounded like she wouldn't call him if nothing had happened.

Summer thought for a moment, and it was indeed like this.

Normally, she wouldn't call Leonardo when she was fine.

"Nothing." After Summer finished speaking, she planned to change the topic and ask, "Are you busy at work?"

Leonardo was not that easy to fool. He did not believe Summer's words, "If there is nothing else, why do you call me?"

Summer replied, "You mean I can't call you if I'm fine?"

After a few seconds of silence on the other end of the phone, Leonardo said meaningfully, "Are you calling to check up on me?"

Summer did not react for a while, "What check?"

Leonardo said, "Nothing much. You can call me more if you're free."

Douglas, who was eavesdropping on the phone, couldn't help but laugh.

Summer turned her head and glared at Douglas. Although her eyes did not have the slightest deterrent effect, Douglas still made a zipper gesture at the side of his mouth very cooperatively.

Leonardo recognized Douglas’ voice, "Are you with Douglas?"

Summer panicked for a moment and said, "Yeah, I got off work a little early today, so I plan to go back with Douglas."

"You get off work early. But can Douglas leave school early?"

It seemed like he couldn't...

Douglas looked at Summer with disdain and leaned over to her cell phone without changing his expression. He lied, "Our last class is PE, so it's fine if I don't attend it."

Fortunately, Leonardo did not ask any further, "Tim will pick you up."

"No need. We can take a taxi to your company ourselves." When Summer reacted, she had already said something.

Leonardo's intention was to have Tim pick her and Douglas up, while her intention was to go to Tip Top to find Leonardo.

Leonardo paused slightly and said in an unquestionable tone, "Let him pick you up."

...

Tim quickly drove over.

He drove the car to the parking lot and took Summer and Douglas into the president's private elevator with a swipe of his card.

Summer used to work in a small company and did not have the exclusive elevator. Because the Jarrett Group's office building was built very early, there was also no exclusive elevator.

This was the first time Summer took this kind of elevator. She felt that it was quite fresh.

"Mr. Emerson, they're here."

He brought the two of them to Leonardo's office and left.

Summer pushed the door open and entered. She saw Leonardo sitting behind his desk.

He was closing the documents in his hand and getting ready to stand up.

When he raised his head and saw Summer, the corner of his mouth slightly raised, "You're coming."

"Yes." Summer answered awkwardly and walked to the sofa on the side to sit down.

Douglas was looking around in his office.

Leonardo walked behind Summer and placed his hands on the back of the sofa. He bent over to look at her face and asked, "What would you like to drink?"

"Nothing. When do you get off work?"

Leonardo raised his hand and looked at his watch, "Almost there."

Originally, there was still a meeting. But Summer was in a hurry to go back. He could push it off.

At this time, the secretary knocked on the door and said, "Mr. Emerson, I have sorted out the meeting materials at 4:30."

Summer look at him, "You have a meeting?"
