Secret Crush novel Chapter 9

A touch of jealousy streaked across Daisy's clear face. She had thought that it would be easier to start from the bottom, but in fact, if they didn't have power, everything was useless. However, she realized it too late, and now it was a foregone conclusion. So she was even more jealous of Leila for her powerful position.

"But I don't think that office is as useful as it looks like. Leila, do you think you have the power?" Daisy asked.

Hearing her sarcastic and tentative words, Leila sneered in her heart. Not only Daisy could pretend to be weak to defeat the strong. With arched eyebrows, Leila changed her appearance like a fatuous and self-indulgent ruler, "power? What I have now is power, isn't it? "

Hearing that, a mocking smile appeared on Daisy's face. What a stupid woman! She turned around, but was stopped by Leila. She turned around and asked, "what do I need to do as a undersecretary?"

Hearing that, Daisy said in a more sarcastic tone, "You can ask the director of logistics department for this."

"Oh," Leila said, "where is he? He just left and never came back. Did you see him? "

"In daddy's office," Daisy answered casually.

The smile in Leila's eyes grew bigger. Daisy didn't think she had said anything wrong, but she thought Leila would no longer be a threat, so she found an excuse to leave.

Watching her leaving, Leila could not help but laugh in a low voice. She was wondering how she could get evidence and then Daisy just came here, who provided some useful information while casually answering the question of Leila.

On the whole day, Leila was busy playing a fool. She felt exhausted to disguise like this. She dodged Freddy's eyes and thrust the key information of the logistics department into her brain. When she was off duty, she felt like she could not support herself anymore.

Leila certainly did not forget today's family dinner, which was nothing more than a bad family dinner of the Song family. Leila always believed that having dinner with them was equivalent to losing weight. Looking at those disgusting faces, no matter how good the dishes were, Leila would thought them tasteless.

But tonight was different. Charles came back from Britain. He, who majored in medical science, had to come back from abroad because of his identity of the family heir.

Charles and Leila were childhood sweethearts. They used to be neighbors when they were very young, and they got along very well. Johnson had always thought highly of this nephew, but more importantly, he thought highly of the Qiao group that Charles would inherit.

The party today was in fact a "Welcome Dinner" for Charles. Everyone knew that Charles' parents died when he was at a young age, so his grandfather raised him up. Now his grandfather was very old, so it’s beyond doubt that Charles would inherit most of the wealth. Therefore, in Johnson's eyes, Charles was a mobile gold mine, which must be obtained by him!

But for the sake of Charles, Leila would not set foot in the Song family's villa anymore!

As it was known to be a family feast, Daisy and Sophia were waiting in the living room very early. When Leila walked in, she still had to have a smile on her face. She knew that she would have a hard time revenging for each of her step would be like treading on thin ice. Thus she must make sure that nothing would happen to her before she could get her wish.

"Leila, you are back. All of our family are waiting for you."

Sophia pretended to behave decently, looking like a 'kind mother', but only Leila knew how disgusting she really was. Leila criticized Sophia directly by her pun, "I don't like to hear what you said, what do you mean by saying your family, do you think I'm not a member of Song family?"

Sophia noticed the change of Leila's tone and her face turned pale. She forced a smile and said, "Leila, you are so funny. Come and sit down."

Looking at her expression of being teased, Leila was secretly delighted. She wondered why she was so stupid that she didn’t confront them head on? Isn't it more interesting to pretend to be weak and defeat the strong?

When Leila was about to sit down, a cold voice from behind interrupted her, "You are really not a member of Song family."

Leila trembled with fear. She didn't need to turn around to look at him, but she could still know who he is. Because there was only one person in the world whose voice would made her tremble, but why would Max come?

The arrival of Max made the temperature went down a few degrees. With an ingratiating smile, Sophia greeted him, but the latter ignored her. Daisy looked at Leila resentfully and envied her for having to do with Max.

The treacherous look on Leila's face disappeared the moment Max came. She looked like a lovely cat waiting for her master to touch her head. Max took a look at her, then there was a glimmer of surprise flashing in his deep eyes. He held her in his arms and sat down beside her, acting like he was a host instead of a guest.
