Chapter 135
She was a little angry. “What on earth do you want to ask?”
“Then I know it.”
Megan was startled and pushed him away. “What do you mean? Don’t talk nonsense.”
“I mean, there’s really such a thing that makes you absent-minded all day.” He suddenly realized it and frowned slightly to get closer to her. “What do you think I’m talking about?”
“Nothing.”
Leo’s gaze swept across her lower abdomen.
Subconsciously, Megan covered her abdomen with her hands, tilted her body, and faced him from
the side.
Leo’s eyes suddenly flickered. “That night…”
As if she had been scalded, Megan hurriedly explained, “I took emergency contraception the next day, and later on, I took Marvelon.”
It was dark all around. He lowered his head to look at her flat belly. No one could tell whether he was happy or angry. He replied softly with a “hmm”.
Megan asked him, “Aren’t you going to see Sasha?”
“Her agent has already gone over,” said Leo. “What did you talk to Vada about just now?”
“We were just chatting.”
“The hospital is going to promote a group of interns next month. I’ve told the hospital that she’s on the list. You can tell her in advance. She should be happy.”
Megan shook her head and said, “You don’t know her. She would rather not get this job than rely on
this relationship.”
“This relationship?” Leo chuckled. “Because of who?”
“Mr. Mayor, have you ever felt that your performance in the past few days has been very… strange?”
Leo didn’t deny it and just asked softly, “What do you think is strange?”
“It’s contradictory,” said Megan. “You seem to be using all kinds of means to force me to admit defeat. Whether it’s about my mother’s illness or making me lose face in front of Mr. Lau and Paul, your purpose is to make me see myself clearly and bow my head to you. But when I do, you’re unhappy. I don’t understand what you want me to do at all to satisfy you.”
Get Bo
Someone seemed to be passing by with a torch, and a beam of faint yellow light swept across her
face.
Leo suddenly realized that he had never seen her side face like this before.
In the past, she had always been hiding behind his broad figure. When he turned around, all he saw
was her slightly raised face. Only now did he realize that her profile was actually more beautiful
than the front.
Her nose was delicate and straight, and her lips were small rhombus-shaped. When they were
closed, the corners of her mouth were slightly raised, and her eyelashes were like a thick fan,
casting a small dark shadow on her face.
Unfortunately, this kind of light only lasted for a moment. As the beam of light disappeared, her
profile could no longer be seen.
Leo felt a little disappointed.
He thought for a moment and said, “I was a little angry in the past. I thought you were just an insignificant secretary, a puppet to replace Tessa.”
“I know.”
“But later, I realized that when I saw you being bullied, I would be unhappy. When I saw that someone else was protecting you, I would be even more unhappy,” Leo said. “I don’t know how to summarize my current mental state, but I can be sure of one thing, which is that I hope you can come back and continue to work for me.”
Megan shook her head. “I’ve made it very clear. I won’t go back.”
“Yes, you said that you didn’t want to go back to your previous life. I thought a lot in the tent alone just now, and I found that you were really different from Tessa, after you left. I won’t treat you as a substitute for Tessa in the future, and I will give you a satisfactory salary and let everything go back to its original track, okay?”
Megan shook her head.
“If you have any other ideas, just tell me.”
“I want to get married. A real marriage, not a lie.”
