Mila asked tentatively, "Hello?"
At the other end of the line, Leonardo directly called out her name. Her tone was just like that of that night, which was quite bad. "Mila? What’s wrong?"
Mila felt a little timid when she heard his bad tone. "In fact, it's nothing..."
Before she could finish, Leonardo was going to hang up. "Then I'll hang up, I'm busy!"
"Wait!" Mila hurriedly stopped him, looked down at her daughter, who was waiting with expectations in eyes, and quickly said, "Holly and I are downstairs in your company..."
Pa!
The phone was suddenly hung up.
Mila was a little confused, and then she felt deeply regretful.
What a shame!
She regretted coming here without being invited. Since she had disturbed him, she deserved to be rejected by him with a cold face.
Mila silently put down the phone and tried to make an excuse to explain to her daughter.
She caressed her daughter's head and
said, "Holly, listen to me..."
"Mr. Schain!"
Behind her suddenly came the sound of greetings.
It was time to get off work. A lot of whitecollar workers walked out of the hall on the first floor. Now they all stood in the same place and greeted Leonardo respectfully.
Mila looked back and saw Leonardo striding toward her. He was wearing a high-quality handmade suit, looking extraordinary.
She was surprised. "Leonardo?"
When he hung up the phone just now, she thought that he was going to drive her away. Unexpectedly, he came down!
Leonardo asked her, "Why are you here?"
"We happened to pass by!" Mila said.
Her heart beat fast strangely and she almost lost control when she was stared at by him. She added awkwardly, "Holly missed you and wanted to see you, so I brought her here! Sorry, I didn't tell you in advance. Will it bother you?"
Leonardo directly answered with action.
He bent over to hold his daughter, who had already stretched out arms, and then said, "I'll take you upstairs!"
People around looked over, and Mila followed him with a blushed face.
Although the employees in the company were very curious, no one dared to gossip about the president.
After entering the exclusive elevator, Leonardo raised a smile. "You missed me, Holly?"
"Yes!" Holly nodded and held his neck intimately with her little hand. "You haven't seen me for two days, so I missed you very much!"
He didn't know if it was an illusion.
When Holly said this, Mila felt that Leonardo glared at her.
Leonardo kissed his daughter dotingly. "I missed you too!"
Holly put her little head on his shoulder. She was reliable on him.
The elevator went straight to the top floor, and Leonardo directly took them to the president's office.
The office was very spacious and grand, with simple and low-key decoration. In the center was a high-back chair.
Leonardo carried his daughter to the leather sofa and said to Mila, "Holly and you take a rest first. I haven't finished my work yet. I have to work overtime for a while!"
"Alright!" Mila nodded.
Then, the assistant knocked on the door and came in. According to Leonardo's instructions, he prepared tea and a whole table of snacks. It seemed that he had brought all the snacks and fruits in the tearoom.
Holly's legs were swinging in the air, and she was drinking fruit juice gracefully like a lady.
Mila thought, "He really wants to try his best to be a good father to make up for the paternal love he owed in recent years."
Leonardo settled them on the sofa and returned to his high back chair.
There were piles of documents on his desk waiting for him to read, but he did not pick up the pen immediately, but called the secretary first, and then he began to work.

Hate deception and Abby and Dylan take the cake ,ugh...
NO!!! Tina belongs with Wilson…. Let Dylan and Abby get together...
Wow, once again the villain messes up the true love, Abby needs to go back abroad. And Tina’s true identity as the daughter of Bill Ambrey needs to be exposed! Then the families can “convenience marry” !! Abby is a witch....
Too bad Wilson can’t figure out that his and Tina’s ex’s and his cousin Desmond are conniving creeps!...
Anthea is so stupid, lying and leaving the man who loves her more than life itself. 🤬...
She deserves to be unhappy, being with someone she doesn’t love because of resentment for the exact thing she is doing, hopefully she ends up with no one. Calvin is a wimp and doesn’t love her, just wants a wife to please his family....
So the same basic story as Simon and Addy but stupid Emily is going to marry him! What a hypocrite! Ugh...
Emily gets more stupid every chapter, when did she pickup Calvin as a fiancé!!?? This story line is awful….very sad to do to Simon what she “thought” he had done but didn’t. She is truly a dumb woman. Simon never loved or really even cared for Addy….what the hell is she doing with someone she doesn’t even know or like/love. Awful 😢...
Emily is a fool, don’t let go of the man who truly loves you. Let go of the past, of which he did nothing but help someone who saved his life, and be happy with him… he is your soulmate....
Nothing like cutting off your nose to spite your face Emily. Just stupid! Ugh 😩...
