"Mr. Lu, as per your order—" Unwittingly, Tasha walked in on Leon pressing something against the wall. Oh, wait—it was a person.
She knew it was a person because her eyes landed on the two legs wrapped around Leon's waist.
Although she couldn't see the woman's face clearly, she knew that it could only be Michelle who could make Leon, a righteous and virtuous man, do such a ludicrous thing.
After all, he had planted strawberries for her, just because she liked eating strawberries.
Tasha quickly gathered her wits and feigned calmness. She quietly turned around to leave but was interrupted by a flustered shout.
"Leon!"
Tasha closed her eyes, counting down the days before her imminent doom.
She had interrupted her boss in the middle of something quite private.
Leon carefully put Michelle down on the floor, but then her legs buckled from underneath her and she fell into his arms.
"It's okay," Leon said in a low, sexy voice.
Michelle didn't have a thing for masculine voices, but now she felt all tingly at the sound of his.
But seeing Tasha standing awkwardly to the side was enough to snap her back to her senses. Embarrassed beyond belief, she could do nothing but bury her face into Leon's chest, secretly feeling lucky that it was just a kiss.
Leon turned his head and glanced at the woman by the door coldly. Tasha's body went stiff. She didn't know whether she should leave or not.
All she knew was that she was rooted to the spot.
It was not her fault.
It was Leon who instructed her to inform him when everything was ready.
Tasha took a deep breath and said, "Mr. Lu, everything is ready. If there's nothing else, I'll be leaving."
Then she abruptly turned around and ran away.
She didn't care whether Leon had anything to more to say.
She had to get out of there as fast as possible. Who knew what Leon would do to Michelle next?
If Michelle could distract him and make him happy, maybe she would make it out of this alive.
But this was too much to hope for.
Michelle was too shy. She was so flustered from being caught that she would refuse to do anything further.
"It's too hot to cuddle, Leon."
"Michelle, you heartless woman! Whenever you're cold, you throw yourself into my arms. Whenever you're hot, you push me away." Even though Leon was complaining, there was a mischievous twinkle in his eye.
"That's not true," Michelle said seriously. Her lips, slightly parted, were a bit swollen and pink because of the passionate kiss they shared just now.
Leon couldn't help but lean forward and plant another kiss on her lips.
After that, he immediately took half a step back.
He was worried he wouldn't be able to stop himself if he did anything more.
The two kept their distance for a while, and gradually, Michelle's flushed face went back to normal.
Seeing that she was fine now, Leon cleared his throat. "Michelle, don't you want me to model for you? Let's go. The studio's all set."
Michelle's eyes lit up instantly.
"Leon, are you really going to be my model?" This was what she wanted for the longest time. The main reason why she wanted to learn photography was because of Leon.
She really wanted to take photos of Leon.
But not in a creepy, perverted sense. She was just eager to capture all her beautiful moments with him.
Leon poked her on the forehead teasingly. "No. I was lying."
"Leon, you're the best!" Michelle threw her arms up and pounced on him, hugging him so tightly he could barely move, like a koala glued to a tree trunk.
But no tree trunk could smile as affectionately as he was now.
