For some reason, Leonardo couldn’t help but reflect on his actions, Had he gone too far today?
Samantha had repeatedly said no. If he really forced himselt on her, the nicer way to put it was “forced affection“. The worst way – would be rapet
Pressing his lips together, he felt a complicated mix of emotions.
He stood at the door, staring at Samantha. He hesitated for a long moment before stepping into the room and carefully helped her out of her coat. He laid her down on the bed and pulled the covers over her.
As he tumed to leave, he couldn’t help but make a disdainful remark. “How filtin.”
Then, be shut the door and headed for his study.
Leonzado had always considered himself to have a severe obsession with cleanliness. He couldn’t allow even a speck of dust in his home, nor could be tolerate people touching his things That explained why no one else ever stepped foot inside other than the two housekeepers who came in every other day to clean
Yet, when he saw Samantha fast asleep in his bed with a bit of drool at the comer of her mouth, he somehow found her rather endearing

Bot in the end, be pave Simon a call.

He felt guilty for abandoning his teammates in battle, but his job came first!

“Understood!” Sunon hung up and immediately sent over the report he had prepared in advance to Leonardo.
Then, he let out a long sigh of relief
There was no such thing as uncovering all of someone’s information in just three minutes. It was simply that the assistants had anticipated their employer’s needs in advance and did the heavy lifting ahead of time.
Simon’s inter
internet was fast, and the file transfer took less than a minute.
Leonardo received it almost immediately and even replied, “Very good.”
Simon similed in satisfaction. It looks like his bonus might get a boost this year

His teammates all responded in understanding.
One wrote, “Life is rough for working–class people like us. Just focus on the game from now on?
Another replied, “Nothing we can do about a dumbass boss. We’re just wage slaves.”
A third send, “No worries, we get it.”
Complaining about the boss was something everyone could relate to, and it even made the five of them work together more seamlessly. They turned the tide of what seemed like a losing game and won the battle in the end.
That must be the power of bitching about the boss.
Leonardo clicked on the folder and opened one of the videos.
The footage showed Samantha walking ahead while Ryan chased from behind. There was little Interaction between them until a car suddenly came into vodne reason, il arreletated toward Samantha
Ryan happened to be facing the car judging from the footage, he had plenty of time to dodge to safety, but he chose to save Samantha instead.
As Hey fell to the side, nettles had time to notice what was on the lawn and was locky enough to only hit her waist against a rock, which didn’t seem to serious. But Byan’s leg was pierced through by a haid, dead bramh.
After that, Samantha hurried to make a call. The ambulance antved to take Ryan away, and Samantha got in as well.
