At 11:30 am, Mellisa changed into the clothes the butler had prepared for her.
The navy suit fits just right, the length covering her lower belly perfectly.
Mellisa looked at herself in the mirror and smoothed the collar of her shirt.
"Very good, very much like a man!" Leonard said.
Mellisa didn't know when the man had followed her back into the dressing room. Leonard leaned against the door at this time, making a comment with his arms folded around his chest.
Mellisa looked to the side and stretched her collar again. "I'll thicken my eyebrows later, so I won't look too feminine."
Leonard tilted his head, raised his eyebrows, and made no comment.
...
After lunch, it was half past twelve.
Leonard went to the backyard and smoked, after which he picked up Mellisa and prepared to leave.
The two then walked out the door one by one. As soon as Mellisa turned her head, she caught a glimpse of three identical black Cayennes in the back of the car.
She asked suspiciously. "Who are these cars for?"
"The guards!"
Up to three cars just for guards?!
Mellisa said 'Oh' without speaking further.
Leonard opened the car's door for her and helped her into the car. He lowered his head and said, "This is different from the past. It would be safer to go out with more guards."
Mellisa nodded, fastened her seatbelt, and bit her lip slightly. "As you wish."
She didn't know what Leonard had said to Luke that night. But the odd expression Luke had shown at the dinner that day must have something to do with him.
She thought these guards were probably prepared for precautions against unnecessary troubles.
In less than twenty minutes, they arrived in front of the office building.
It is located near a development zone in Bandung, and belongs to the same administrative area as the old castle where the Adler family is located.
When Leonard got out of the car, he looked harshly at the nearby parking lot.
Many of the invited companies had gathered their teams to come to this place.
Mellisa closed the car's door and looked at the six-story office building. She noticed the figures of the people present and exclaimed. "It seems, today's bidding of several real estate companies is very interesting."
Leonard stood beside her in a black suit, with the top button of his shirt unbuttoned, revealing a relaxed and casual look.
He raised his hand and looked at his watch. "We have received word that this real estate company intends to invest in five fully furnished apartment buildings in Bandung. If we can reach a partnership with them this time, then we will enjoy the benefits in a few years. We can earn a lot of money."
Mellisa couldn't hold her tongue. "Five apartments?"
"Bandung has been developing the real estate industry with great efforts and this development zone is a top priority. Apartment buildings are currently the most popular choice among the public, and this real estate company is very capable of meeting everyone's expectations."
Leonard said while looking around.
After a while, he looked ahead and said, "Let's go, the meeting is on the third floor, let's go in."
...
On the third floor of the building, there were nearly fifty people in the room.
The projection on the front screen also shows the future plans of real estate.
Melissa and Leonard sat in the first row. As soon as they sat down, they saw several people walk out the door.
"Oh, what a coincidence."
Luke and Lockhart appeared at the door one after another, and several of his subordinates with suitcases followed behind them.
Leonard nodded to them, and greeted them coldly. "Uncle."
Lockhart answered with his head lowered slightly, and then sat down at the place the organizer had prepared.
Luke walked in front of Leonard. He looked around him and said sarcastically. "Big brother, you brought your servant here?"
This servant, wasn't he the same person by the lake? The one who stayed in the tent?
Recently, the Adler family was in turmoil, saying that Leonard suddenly changed his preference and had a fondness for a man. A small white-faced butler at that.
Seeing him today, it seemed that the rumor was true!
Leonard looked at Luke with a nonchalant gaze, then shifted at Mellisa beside him, and pursed his lips. "Is there a problem?"
"Don't even try to pretend nothing's wrong here!" Then he looked at Mellisa. "But I'm really curious, what's the real reason for taking him with you?"
After that, he returned to Lockhart's side.
His subordinates behind him also walked over and took their seats.
Mellisa stared straight ahead blankly, and the surrounding lights flashed for a moment. She said in a cold tone, "Did he find anything? It seems that coming with you today isn't quite right."
Luke's sarcasm towards Leonard worried him.
But she couldn't rush anything though this tension was very disturbing.
Hearing that voice, Leonard turned his head and shook his head nonchalantly. "Even if we don't come, we won't be able to hide our business from the Adlers. Don't worry, he won't be acting up at an important event like today."
Melissa glanced sideways and ran into Leonard's gaze, a wave appearing under her eyes. "You mean the Adlers know about you and me?"
"I don't know. It seems like it's nothing more than a rumor that I recently fell in love with… my gentle little maid!"
Leonard's tone of ridicule revealed a hint of cheerfulness.
There are so many eyes in the Adler family, of course one would notice.
The gentle little maid...
Melissa pursed her lips, looked at her own suit and then accepted his compliment with a calm expression. "Well, this men's outfit of mine really isn't too manly either."
Leonard saw her sly gaze and he swallowed his saliva. It took him a long time to suppress the urge to kiss her.
Stripping her off her suit and whipping her with a tie… It seemed like fun!
Tonight was worth the wait.
In less than ten minutes, the room was packed with people.
The time was nearing one o'clock, and representatives of companies that were invited at the door from time to time, looked forward to the arrival of the guest stars!
They heard that the real estate company is very strong and has a good reputation and connections in this country.
If they could cooperate with them, they would definitely gain a firm footing in the future.
At this moment, the last person to enter the venue was Leonhart, and the dozen or so consultants he had brought behind him.
As the head of the Adler family, his presence showed how much value this afternoon meeting had.
"Master Leonhart, you are here too!"
"Master Leonhart, long time no see!"
"Master Leonhart, how are you?"
The moment he entered the room, greetings sounded everywhere.
The leader of the biggest family in Bandung has come out. How great is this real estate company?!
Leonhart calmly nodded towards the crowd, he continued walking forward and sat down beside Leonard.
This father and son have a similar appearance and well-built posture.. Even though they were silent and didn't say anything, their powerful aura was still capable of giving people goosebumps.
