Leah hung up her phone and lay down on her bed staring at the ceiling on top of her.

She agreed to Han’s conditions not only because he had the ability to help her build the reputation of

the jewelry she designed but also because she no longer wanted to involve Ian after such a serious

incident.

Ian had done a lot for the White family. When Gordon passed away, the White family was in a crisis,

and Ian stepped up to shoulder the responsibility. He gave up his dreams to become a doctor and

ventured into the business world. He never had any ill intention for the last two years and treated the

White family’s company as one of his own without trying to acquire it.

Ian had been completely acknowledged by the White family.

That was why Leah didn’t want him to ruin the company he worked hard to establish for her sake.

However, Han was different. With his capabilities, he would definitely manage this well.

It might sound a little selfish, but Leah had no choice. He owed Ian a favor, and Han owed her a favor.

Since she made her decision, Leah had to inform Ian about this. She asked him out to dinner the next

day after work.

“Right now?” Ian looked happy as he nodded, “Sure, what do you want to eat?”

Leah was absent-minded and simply replied, “Anything.”

Ian thought about it for a while, took his car keys and walked inside the elevator with her. As they were

riding the elevator, he said, “There’s a nice Chinese restaurant. After having so much western food

here, you must have missed Chinese food.”

Leah smiled when she saw his happy face and said, “Let’s go there then.”

Both of them walked out of the elevator with smiles on their faces. Especially Ian who was looking at

Leah gently. It was different compared to his usual gentle yet estranged expression.

“Wait for me. I’m going to bring the car here,” Ian said to Leah.

Leah nodded. She stood outside the building entrance while everyone was staring at her. She had

become infamous for all the negative news surrounding her.

“It’s her.”

“She seems close to Mr. Sanders. Do they really have that kind of relationship?”

“Who knows? Didn’t the rumors say Mr. Sanders has a fiancee? Perhaps this woman is the mistress.”

All the unpleasant comments kept coming. Leah heard every single word, but she stood at her spot

calmly without moving.

Then, a black Maybach pulled up beside Leah. The windows rolled down, and Han was inside.

Leah took a glance and started to frown slightly.

Han seemed to be in a good mood. He was resting an arm on the window and asked Leah, “Where are

you going? Let me give you a ride.”

He sounded confident as if he knew that Leah wouldn’t reject his offer.

However, Leah backed away from him and rejected him coldly, “No need. Thank you for your

kindness.”

“You’re welcome,” Han thought she was thanking him sincerely, so he got out of the car and said, “Get

in. I don’t want to repeat myself.”

“Han, what are you trying to do? This is the entrance of Fortune Group. It’s not right for you to appear

here,” Leah warned him.

Han’s smile started to disappear. He didn’t expect her to reject him in this manner. She even backed

away after seeing him. He thought he was already getting closer to her.

Han placed his hands beside his legs and said after thinking for a moment, “You are going to be a part

of the Howard Group. I’m only being considerate to my subordinate as a boss. Get in.”

Leah heard what he said and had an annoyed look. She was afraid someone might hear him, so she

went up to Han and covered his mouth with her hands.

She had yet to figure out a way to tell Ian about this. If someone else heard about this, they would

surely tell Ian and try to cause a misunderstanding. Ian might not listen to them, but it’s still not

something pleasant for his ears.

“Shut up.” Leah stood on her toes and covered Han’s mouth. She stared at him as she warned him with

a frown.

The gap between them closed because of her actions. Leah was close to him. She could feel his hot

breath on her palms with her hands on his lips.

Leah blinked and locked eyes with Han. She noticed something was wrong and removed her hand

from his mouth and backed off while looking at Han.

Han had a gloomy look. He was holding his breath when Leah approached him just now. This woman

dared not defy his orders in the past. She was even too shy to look directly at him.

Now, she was already bold enough to do something so daring. However, he actually missed her gentle

touch.

“Why are you hiding?” Han asked.

Leah turned her face to the side and said, “It’s nothing.”

Han chuckled, “Leah, are you feeling shy?”

Leah stared at him and replied, “You are overthinking.”

Han’s mood seemed to get better. He was just about to say something when a car can be heard

honking from behind.

Ian got down from the car. He had a smile on his gentle face, but he was very alert.

Ian walked to Leah’s side, held her hand, looked at Han and said, “Hello, Mr. Howard. It’s been a long

time.”

Han locked eyes with Ian, and he was gloomy when he saw Leah holding hands with Ian. He knew Ian

did that to provoke him, but Leah didn’t reject Ian at all.

“Sarah, what are you talking to Mr. Howard about?” Ian looked at Leah gently.

Leah suppressed the slight discomfort in her heart and smiled at Ian, “Nothing. We were only greeting

each other. Let’s go.”

Then, she pulled Ian towards his car.

Ian had a slight grin and said to Han, “Sorry, Mr. Howard. We must leave,” After that, he left with Leah.

Watching them leave together, Han clenched his fists tightly.

Does this woman really like Ian? What about me? Who am I to her then?

Leah and Ian entered a private room in the restaurant, and Ian handed the menu to Leah, “Order

anything you want.”

Leah took the menu and nodded absent-mindedly.

She wasn’t here to have a meal with him. She was having trouble finding an opportunity to speak

honestly with Ian. Han’s appearance just now had made it more difficult for her.
