Leonard's gentle expression gradually turned cold and serious. Just as he was about to continue asking, the person in charge of the Zilion organization was already walking behind him. "Master Leonard, I'm sorry!"
"What's up? Is something wrong?"
His frown frightens the other party. After hesitating for a few seconds, he honestly said. "Sir, our client is in the conference room next door. He said if you have any questions, you can speak to him now."
Leonard's gaze returned to the document in Mellisa's hand. "I haven't read the terms of the agreement. But since he's next door, I'll talk to him first. Let's meet him then."
The man nodded. "Alright, then please come with me!"
Leonard was about to leave, but he suddenly hesitated. He then leaned into Mellisa's ear, advising. "Please read the contents of the agreement, note which one is problematic. I will talk to the client for a while. After you finish reading it, you can go straight in."
Leonard thought that from the start Mellisa had a strong feeling of weariness towards this offer, maybe she could find a loophole in the agreement.
Leonard's deep voice blew a warm breath into Mellisa's ear.
She shrank her neck involuntarily and nodded slowly. "Okay!"
Leonard frowned strangely, but since the representative of Zilion was still waiting by his side, he didn't ask anymore.
After he left, Mellisa looked back at the agreement document in her hand. After turning the front page, she stroked the page with her fingertips.
Her gaze was fixed on the line of words.
Party A: Genesis Real Estate Company.
This company... Is this a company she knew?!
...
At the same time, Leonard followed to the meeting room door, and when he approached the glass doors, he vaguely saw a tall figure.
The agent from Zilion knocked politely on the door, and said to Leonard who was beside him. "Master Leonard, please come in!"
Leonard nodded and thanked him, and stepped into the meeting room quietly.
Why did he feel familiar with this man!
Currently, the man was standing in front of the window with his back to him, and one hand on his back, his posture looking elegant and mysterious.
Leonard's heartbeat was a little too fast.
He narrowed his eyes, took a step forward, and hesitantly said, "Jean?"
When those words came out, the man in front of the window slowly turned around, his gentle tone mixed with a touch of teasing. "Master Leonard, I hope our cooperation will go well!"
Leonard took a sharp breath as he fell silent for a moment.
He smiled bitterly in disbelief, licked his lips, shook his head and said, "I didn't think that you would be the one to break this tradition of cooperation in Bandung!"
Jean casually leaned against the window, behind which the sun was blinding. After being out of sight for several months, he was still graceful, calm and noble.
Hearing that, the man took the cigarette case from the window sill and threw it at him. "How are you?"
Leonard raised his arm to catch a cigarette, grabbed two, and walked over to Jean. When he handed one to him, he smiled and said, "Not bad! My relationship with Mellisa has improved, which is a good thing!"
The man pursed his thin lips pretentiously. "So you don't plan on pretending to be sick anymore?"
Leonard looked at him dimly, pointed the cigarette to his mouth, and leaned against the window sill. "I have to thank you for the advice you gave me... Jean, I wonder, why did you suddenly get involved in the real estate industry in Bandung?"
Leonard stared at Jean for a moment. The charm of the man in front of him was really hard to ignore.
Even though he and Jean had known each other not long ago, he had great respect and admiration for him.
Recalling that this strange and unusual encounter had attracted a lot of attention in Bandung, he remembered that only the Widjaya family could do all these things.
At this moment, Jean's and Leonard's eyes were facing each other. His thin lips were exhaling cigarette smoke, and his posture leaned back comfortably. "I always hear about amazing people in Bandung, so of course I want to join!"
Leonard couldn't believe this explanation!
With Jean's methods and skills, all of his real estate projects can be done on their own, so why bother looking for a partner?!
Seeing Leonard's suspicion, the man lightly dumped the ashes of his cigarette in the ashtray on the windowsill. "I'm a businessman, so of course I won't do any risky business. If the Widjaya family really wants to gain a foothold in this city, I think my family will be able to become independent. But if my family works with the Adlers here... no one dares to doubt the Widjaya family anymore!"
Leonard suddenly narrowed his eyes, he exhaled a circle of smoke, nodding with a sly gaze.
Although Jean's explanation seemed plausible, he remained skeptical.
Jean Widjaya's strong background allows him to know everything about the powerful families in Bandung.
The unexpected power that had just set foot in Bandung clearly needed the protection of the Adler family.
Some words may not need to be mentioned!
…
In contrast, when Leonard left the room, Mellisa was momentarily stunned. She then took out her cell phone and started asking about the Widjaya family's real estate in Surabaya.
If this collaboration was really one with Jean's company, then all of these previous oddities could be explained.
There was a faint warm color in Mellisa's eyes, and she couldn't help but wonder if this was the special cooperation given to them by Lilia and Jean.
Right now, in the empty room, there were only a few employees tasked with supervising.
Mellisa was still in her chair looking intently at her phone, so she didn't pay attention to her surroundings. Suddenly, there was a figure walking slowly from the door wearing a long loose skirt and a hat.
She was stopped for a moment by the guards, then walked over to Mellisa and sat down next to her.
Mellisa was still leaning forward and suddenly a clear voice sounded. "What are you looking at?"
Mellisa was startled, and her cell phone fell to the floor with a loud thud along the side of her feet.
She stared at her phone in bewilderment, then looked away stiffly for a long time, and suddenly forgot to react.
Lilia tilted her head to look at her, raised her hand to play with the brim of her hat, and said to Mellisa, "Are you so surprised to see me, Miss Mellisa Mayer?!"
At this moment, Mellisa tried to catch her breath and forgot about her phone. When she raised her head, she looked at Lilia in confusion, then asked stupidly with watery eyes. "Why did you come to Bandung?"
Lilia bulged her cheeks, leaned on her waist, picked up the cell phone from the floor and handed it to Mellisa with a smile. "Honeymoon!"
Mellisa bit the corner of her mouth, holding back the pain of her tears. "Why didn't you tell me earlier…"
"It's a surprise for you!"
While looking at Mellisa who was wearing a men's suit, Lilia touched her nails on her cheek and said with emotion. "I didn't expect that my sister could look so handsome in a suit!"
