After Summer finished speaking, Leonardo did not respond immediately. The room fell into silence.
Summer did not push him, but waited patiently for his reply.
After a long while, Leonardo said, "Alright."
Although he didn't promise her directly, but as confident and arrogant as Leonardo was, it was a big step for him to listen to her advice and make a concession.
Suddenly, somebody knocked on the door.
Summer and Leonardo exchanged a glance. Summer's expression turned slightly as she stood up, "I'll check it."
She paused for a moment before saying tentatively, "You prefer the wardrobe ... or the bathroom?"
Now was a special timing, and Leonardo had climbed in through the window. If Stanley's men spotted him, things wouldn't be good. He could only make a little sacrifice and hide for a while.
Leonardo's face darkened as he turned to walk towards the bathroom.
Seeing him walking towards the bathroom, she walked towards the door to open it.
However, Leonardo turned back halfway and hid into the wardrobe under Summer's surprised gaze.
The bedroom was large and the wardrobe was spacious enough to accommodate a grown-up man.
Summer watched Leonardo got in, and made sure there was nothing wrong with the wardrobe. Then she reached for the knob.
She spun the knob halfway and asked, "Who is it?"
A female voice came from outside, "It's me."
Was it Jenny?
Summer thought for a moment. It was so late, why would Jenny come here?
Normally, she would not come to her room.
Summer opened the door and saw Jenny wearing the same overcoat and boots as earlier. She seemed very impatient with Summer opening the door so slowly.
Summer quietly observed Jenny, and came to a conclusion that Jenny had just returned from outside.
She hurried here directly. Could it be that she had found something?
Summer maintained her expression as usual, asked naturally, "Ms. Jenny, what is up?"
Everyone in this villa called her Ms. Jenny, but only hearing it from Summer made her feel uncomfortable.
"Aren't you inviting me in?" Jenny looked behind her into the bedroom expressionlessly. Summer wasn't sure what interested her.
Summer neither nodded nor shook her head, only said, "Rosie is asleep."
The subtext was that she didn't want Jenny in.
Jenny raised her chin slightly, "I will try to keep my voice down."
Now, Summer was pretty sure Jenny had found something, that was why she suddenly came for her.
"Is there anything we can't discuss tomorrow?" Summer was getting impatient. She frowned slightly and her eyes turned cold.
Jenny had never seen Summer like this. In her memory, Summer was a beautiful but fragile woman who responded calmly to attacks.
Right now, Summer was on full alert with an unique air that could not be neglected.
