I glanced at Leo, my expression cold as I said, “Since you care so much about Evelyn’s reputation, why don’t you marry her and take responsibility for her?”
Leo stunned. His brows were furrowing deeper as he replied in a low voice, "Julie, the reason me and Evelyn went to Lockwood City this time was to discuss about business partnership. I don't have time to deal with your bad temper …."
Before he could finish his word, Evelyn cut in, "Leo, stop arguing. Miss Andrew was the one who wrote the project proposal. I don’t want to upset her over this and jeopardize the partnership. It’d be such a waste if things went wrong because of me.”
Her words sounded considerate as if she were genuinely concerned about my feelings and the company’s welfare. However, I knew exactly what she meant. She was just subtly mocking me, implying that I was too proud of my achievement.
Her provocation succeeded in making Leo's face darken even further. He then cast a sidelong glance at me and said, "Your gut has some gut now. How dare you use the company; cooperation to threaten me?"
