Supreme Mars novel Chapter 120

The smile on Leo’s face widened. He nodded lightly under Irene’s astonished gaze.

"You… You…"

Shivering, Irene stepped back subconsciously, her eyes widening in shock, and failed to form a complete sentence.

"Why are you so scared? I won’t bite," Leo said helplessly.

Irene took a deep breath and forced a smile, replying, "I’m just a little surprised. I didn’t expect you, the one who has got humiliated by everyone at the party, to be the most important person on the scene."

Only then did Irene realize why Leo had sat on that gold chair from the beginning, because that position belonged to him. She also understood why Leo could stay calm when people insulted him, because they were just like a bunch of clowns making a fool of themselves in front of him.

She was not so shocked as before, but Irene still couldn’t settle down. A distant look in her eyes, mixed feelings were obviously running through her mind.

It had been five years.

She had thought she caught up with the fleeting figure, but it didn’t occur to her that the gap between them had actually grown bigger.

No one noticed a hint of frustration flashing across Irene’s face. Leo smiled and asked the group of people to sit down. "Take a seat, everyone."

Irene, Forrest, Justin and Alan took their seats respectively. A while ago, Leo had asked the waitress to serve another meal for them.

Apparently, Irene felt uneasy, and Leo comforted her with a smile. "Don’t worry. Just forget that I’m the honored guest. Take me as an ordinary person."

Irene gave a nod, smiling.

Leo didn’t talk about business during dinner, but his romantic affairs.

Justin, Alan and Forrest kept making a toast to Leo. This was the man respected by Commerce Maestro. If they could be his trusted subordinate, they would have a promising future!

Irene, however, seemed not in the mood. She kept drinking alone, and shortly after, her cheeks began to burn.

After having a few rounds of drinks, Justin, Alan and Forrest, who claimed to be heavy drinkers, actually got drunk too.

Only Leo remained conscious.

Leo asked people to carry them into their cars and looked back at the drunk Irene. "Come on. Let me send you home."

Irene said nothing, but lay on the sofa in a drunken stupor.

Leo heaved a sigh and looked at her, his eyes hard to read. Then he helped her up.

At the entrance of Riverside Club, the black Rolls-Royce was already waiting. Nadine came personally to pick Leo up.

Leo put Irene down on the back seat and asked, "Where is your home?"

Irene slurred, "J… JH Community."

Leo said to Nadine at once, "To JH Community."

"Yes." She started the car immediately.

Nobody had talked all the way. Looking calm, Leo stared at the view outside the window, lost in thought.

Irene turned over. Leo could feel that a pair of bright eyes were fixed on him from behind.

"Do you really not remember me?" Irene slurred, "You passed me at Cleo Entertainment, and I feel you two look very much alike. Even if your temperament and appearance have changed a little, I’m sure you’re the one passing me five years ago. But why must you deny it?"

Leo closed his eyes and explained faintly, "Ms. Garcia, you’ve got the wrong person. Today is the second time we’ve met. Besides, I’m married."

There was a long silence.

Irene stared at Leo, her eyes wide open in surprise. "You… You’re married?"

Leo nodded earnestly. "Yes, and I have a five-year-old daughter."

A chill ran down Irene’s spine. In addition, alcohol made her even colder.

She turned her back to Leo and whispered, "I’m sorry. I’ve mistaken you for someone else."

When Leo opened his eyes again, the car had long gone silent.

Before long, they arrived at JH Community.
