Leono glanced up and asked icily, “Didn’t I make it clear? I don’t want to hear anything about her, including whatever that belongs to her.”
He didn’t need to specify who he had meant Simon knew exactly it was Samantha

He was just repeating himself to salvage his pride.
Qurtously, Simon mentioned, “Mr. Garrett, I never said who delivered it,”

Busted!
Yet his expression remained indifferent. “I just made a guess..
Simor, naturally wouldn’t call him out on it, so he played along and said, “It’s my fault. I saw that Ms. Newton was alone downstairs, looking for help while everyone ignored bet. I couldn’t bear to watch, so I thought I would lend a hand.
“I apologize for not thinking it through. I’ll throw the lunchbox right away and have security lick her out. I’ll make sure she never steps foot in Evergreen Tower
Simon quiddy packed up the lunchbox and tumed to leave.
|He had barely taken a few steps when he heard Leonando speak up, just as he expected.
ait,” Leonardo said.
Simon smirked, but when he tumed around, he looked absolutely puzzled. He was a master at switching expressions
He innocently asked, “Mr. Garrett, is there anything else you need?”
“It’s already there, and it would be a waste not to eat it. Just give it to me,” Leonardo claimed.
“okay” Simon knew Leonardo was trying to uphold his pride, so he chose not to say much and simply handed him the lunchbox.
Leonardo opened it, and the presentation was meticulous. In one of the compartments sat a heart–shaped fried egg, and his gaze softened slightly at the sight of it.
Samantha had put quite a bit of effort into the meal.
There were barbecued pork ribs, sautéed mixed vegetables, and pepper steak, along with a thermos of tomato soup.
The meal looked great, but why were there two portions?
“Why did she prepare two sets?” Leonardo asked
Simon replied, “Ms. Newton probably had plans to have lunch with you. But does she really deserve to dine with someone as distinguished as you? She’s still downstairs and refuses to leave. I’ll throw her out right now! just let her starve!”
He looked so here that it was almost as if he was actually going to bully Samantha.
Frowning, Leonardo asked, “Did I tell you to do that?
Simonsumed back, looking eager to please. He answered, “I was just worried she would ruin your mood. You can’t stand the sight of her anyway, so I might as
well make her leave now!
Leonardo shot him an
Vplue, and Simon immediately shut up. Simon had been playing with fire for so long, so when would Leonardo finally come to his senses?
“Let her up,” Leonardo finally said.
“Of course” I’ll go get her now!” Simon replied without hesitation
It was a good thing it didn’t drag on any further. Simon genuinely worried that if Leonardo kept up the act and Samantha actually lett, Leonardo would be the one left fuming in the end.
Samantha was sa hungry that her stomach grumbled. Fortunately, Lydia had brought her some tea and snacks, so she ate a little to hold herself ones.
Suddenly, her phone rang Samantha glanced at the screen and saw that it was Ryan calling. The mere sight of his name gave her a headache, and she was tempted to cancel the call on the spot. But after some contemplation, she decided to answer. “Hello?”
“Are you coming to we me today?” Ryan asked.
“I’m busy today,” she replied
He paused for a moment before letting out a wall like a banshee. “Oh, it hurts! It hurts so bad! I swear they are trying to all me! Help me!
“elp! It hurts like hell i don’t want to live anymore! Save me, Sumantha!–
“What’s going on? What happened?” Ryan’s agonized serrains made Samantha a little anxious. It didn’t sound like he was taking it, and she was worried that something had really happened to him.
“oh. I can’t! I’m dying! My leg–it’s not crippled, is it? Help me!”
Ryan sounded like he was in so much pain that he could barely answer ber Samantha couldn’t shake off her cun and imediately got up to leave. But then she remembered Simon’s earlier reminder and decided to speak with Lydian
