Mellisa brushed her short hair and sat on the bed, Kevin's words still echoing in her ears.
Her mind cleared in an instant, her eyes rolled as she asked. "Is Leonard going?"
Kevin paused for a moment and then answered. "Should be!"
"Okay, I understand, thank you."
After hanging up, Mellisa was still holding her phone in a daze.
Although she had learned? the basic knowledge in the finance course she had recently taken, she was still lacking in practical experience.
She wanted to go to the scene to observe a gathering like this.
Maybe she can check how far her knowledge goes!
Mellisa thought to herself, then her eyes trembled for a moment, and the corners of her mouth curled up slightly mockingly.
A few months ago, she probably never thought that she would have such a day that made her feel like she's the most motivated in her life.
The smile on the corner of her mouth gradually widened. When she recovered, she glanced at the bed and found that Leonard wasn't there.
Looking at the time, it's already 7:30 in the morning.
Mellisa touched her cheek, pulled off the blanket and put on her slippers, planning to find the man.
After only two steps, she happened to hear a voice coming from the dressing room.
Mellisa swung her legs, walked over and opened the door.
Then... she was dumbfounded at the door!
In the dressing room, Leonard was holding his shorts, and lifted his legs to put them on.
There was also a bath towel on the low stool beside it.
Mellisa stared at him at the door, glanced quickly, then cleared her throat. "Just finished showering?"
Leonard stopped just as he was about to put on his shorts, lowered his head to signal, and smiled evilly. "What do you think?"
Mellisa raised her hand and scratched her eyebrows. "Then you better put on your clothes first. After that, I have something to discuss with you."
"What's wrong, come in and say it!" Leonard smiled and gestured at her. "I happen to be going out today, please help me choose a suit."
Mellisa swallowed, looking as far as possible to avoid his figure.
But... even though he has lost 15 kg, the lines on his body are still very even and perfect.
The muscles in his stomach became more and more firm!
Mellisa subconsciously licked the corners of her mouth, and walked forward to peek at the man's shorts. "You put on the pants first, then I'll talk about it!"
Leonard lifted his thin lips, there was a flash of fire in his eyes, and his eyes drooped. Those words startled Mellisa. "You don't want to say hello to my junior?"
Seeing his barbaric behavior, Mellisa bent down and picked up the towel by the side and threw it at him. "I have something serious to talk to you about, can you be more serious?"
After hearing this, Leonard again covered his thighs with a towel and sat down. "Okay, say it!"
Mellisa glanced at him, and then looked at the cupboard around her. "Are you going to participate in that very important meeting?"
Leonard raised his eyebrows. "Yes!"
"May I go with you? I can disguise myself as a man and be your assistant!" After Mellisa explained her strategy, she frankly spoke her mind.
Leonard never understood Mellisa's requirements!
He nodded without thinking, took off the towel, and said. "Yes! Before we go, there are more important things that need your assistance!"
Mellisa watched his movements warily. "What is it?"
"Just go ahead, I'll tell you later."
Melisa didn't react for a while, and Leonard pushed her out of the dressing room.
It wasn't until she saw the bathroom door next to her that she exclaimed. "Leonard, I can take a shower myself!"
...
After half an hour, Melissa was hugged by Leonard back into the dressing room next door wrapped in a bath towel.
She stared at him blankly, water still dripping from her hair.
"Why are you looking at me like that?" Leonard sat Melissa on the soft leather bench, then lowered her head and touched her cheek, smiling very slyly.
Mellisa rubbed the shoulder of her aching right arm, and pushed his hand away. "Get another towel!"
With a soft sensation visible in Leonard's eyes, he took another towel and gently brushed Mellisa's hair.
"The meeting will start at one o'clock in the afternoon, and I will ask the butler to find a suit that suits you."
Mellisa narrowed her eyes and replied lazily. "Where will the event be held?"
"Bandung's City Development Office building."
Mellisa looked up and asked, "City Development Office building?"
Leonard stood in front of her, bowing his head to explain, "This time, I heard a real estate company intends to open a collaboration opportunity in Bandung. The real estate company is looking for a partner to assist them in the supervision and completion of their project in Bandung."
"Today , they will conduct the first tender which will be a Q&A. The other party will give us an overview of the situation on the ground and their needs. After that, representatives from each company will provide a budget plan and building design and discuss the relevant contracts. After the final screening, the partner company that wins the bid will be selected."
Mellisa listened to Leonard's explanation very carefully, and after a bit of thought, she muttered. "No wonder the finance team will also attend it, they have to make and assess a financial budget that fits the needs of the other party, no?"
"Yes!"
"Then… Does the Adler Family have their own team?"
Leonard smoothed his hair with the back of his hand. "The Adlers are already involved in the construction industry, and their team isn't a nut either. Why is that? Is this future Mrs. Adlers worried we can't win this?"
After being teased by him, Mellisa slapped him angrily. "I'm just asking to understand the situation!"
When the words fell, Mellisa walked out of the dressing room still wearing a towel.
...
Around eleven in the morning, the butler rushed back to the villa with a handmade men's suit.
As soon as he came, he saw the young master and the little servant sitting in the living room reading the documents together.
This scene made him purse the corners of his mouth in delight, and the more he looked at them, the more they looked like husband and wife!
Hearing the sound of footsteps, Leonard raised his eyes and put down the file he was holding. Seeing the butler's relieved expression, he was confused. "What's wrong?"
The old butler came back to his senses, and stepped forward. "I'm just glad to see you've returned to being healthy. Ah, this is the suit that you asked for. The size is almost perfect for his figure. Son, try this on. If it doesn't fit, I'll send someone to find another one for you."
Mellisa got up and took the suit gratefully. Seeing that the old butler was still sweating on his forehead, she took the tissue box from the table and handed it to him. "Sorry to bother you, I'll give it a try now."
"No problem, this is indeed my job."
The butler finally took the tissue box that Mellisa handed over, looked at him, and nodded.
This kid is so good!
It's a good thing he's not a woman, otherwise Miss Lyn, who is his young master's potential partner, would have gone berserk.
At this moment, Leonard saw the sight of the butler clinging to Mellisa. He lifted his leg and shook his toe. "What do you see?"
The butler took out a tissue to wipe his forehead, and subconsciously answered.. "This young man looks strangely beautiful. If he was a doll, of course I would have brought him home!"
