Chapter 142
However, Leo didn’t expect Sasha didn’t come alone.
The driver drove to the hotel. Sasha sat in the passenger seat, and there were four or five children in
the back seat.
Leo had always disliked children. If it hadn’t been for Megan’s argument, he wouldn’t have allowed the female employees to bring their children to the company retreat.
Now most of the children were staying at a nearby hotel, and even Secretary James’ two children had been given to another female colleague to care for at the hotel. Who were these children with Sasha?
After the driver parked the car, Sasha opened the door and rushed over. “Leo!”
Leo stretched out an arm to stop Sasha from throwing herself into his arms. He frowned and said impatiently, “Freeze, stand still.”
Being cold-shouldered, Sasha was a little unhappy. She pouted and said coquettishly, “I missed you so much. You don’t know how big the fire was! Half of the hotel burned down. I was so scared then…”
Leo looked quite impatient. “What have you done again?!”
“I just wanted to steam my face. I thought such upscale hotels were well-equipped. Who knew they couldn’t even prevent such a small fire?” Sasha looked around and said, “Where is Ms. Reed? I’ll apologize to her.”
Leo looked in the distance and saw that Megan looked a little uncomfortable. She was squatting on the ground, covering her chest with one hand and looking like she was vomiting.
Paul was squatting beside her, looking at her with concern, with a bottle of water and tissue in his hand.
“Mr. Travis is so considerate of Ms. Reed,” Sasha said with a smile. “I’m a little envious of her.”
Leo retracted his gaze. Out of sight, out of mind.
That woman wanted it the hard way. He couldn’t be bothered to lower himself to talk nonsense with her.
“Then I’ll apologize later, Leo. I don’t want to disturb them.”
“It’s your business.”
After saying that, Leo strode back to his tent.
But at this moment, a few children ran over. One of the boys, who was about five years old, bumped

into Leo and left two dirty handprints on his white shirt.
Weren’t they the kids who came with Sasha?
His face darkened in an instant.
The little boy seemed to know that he had done something wrong and raised his head timidly to look at Leo. Leo’s face was terrifyingly grim, and the little boy was so scared that he burst into
tears.
The children liked to imitate others. As soon as they saw the boy crying, the others burst into tears.
For a moment, the campsite that had finally quieted down became noisy again.
Leo took a deep breath and tried his best to suppress his anger. He asked in a low voice, “You’d better explain why they’re here!”
Sasha’s face was a little pale. She stammered, “These are the children of the nearby villagers. They said that they have watched my TV series and were clingy to me. After all, I’m a star. If I refuse them with a cold face, someone will definitely say that I’m putting on airs.”
“Then why did you bring them here?” The veins on Leo’s temples bulged. “What right do you have to bring them here?!”
“I’ve got their parents’ permission! Besides, the children will only eat some snacks at most. It
won’t cost much.”
“You think this is about money?!” Leo hissed.
He looked down at the two mud handprints on his chest and was so angry that his face turned pale.
Secretary James noticed that something was wrong here. She wanted to share some of Megan’s work and quickly ran over. “Mr. Mayor, is there anything I can do for you?”
Leo gritted his teeth and said, “Take these children away. You have five minutes.”
Secretary James blinked and looked at the children who were still crying with their mouths She was a little puzzled. “Where did these children come from? Where should I take them?”
open.
“Ask her!”
After saying this, Leo ignored Sasha and went back to his tent to change his clothes.
