“Hmm.” Han nodded. As Leah was about to turn around and leave, he suddenly pulled her into his

embrace.

Leah, who was caught off guard, stumbled into his embrace.

She quickly came about her senses and tried to push Han away, “What are you doing?” She frowned

and asked.

Han hugged her tightly, his eyes showing a hint of longing.

But after a few seconds, he let go of her and answered, “Nothing. You may go now.”

Han reached out his hand and patted her on the shoulders, “Remember to get ready for tomorrow.

Don’t disappoint me,” he reminded her.

Leah looked at him confusingly before mumbling out, “Stupid.” She then returned to her room.

The next day, Leah was on standby before Han’s room at seven in the morning.

She looked completely different today when compared to yesterday’s outfit.

She wore a brown knee-length dress, which showcased her pale and slender legs. Her slender long

neck and collarbones were also on display as she was wearing a pinafore dress.

She also wore some light and elegant makeup.

When Han walked out, his gaze darkened as he saw Leah’s appearance.

“Mr Howard, is my outfit alright for the occasion?” Leah cheekily asked and blinked at him.

Leah was not as afraid of Han as she was before, since his attitude had substantially improved, even

though there were still times where he’d still be cold towards her.

Han’s eyes raked over her body for a while and surprisingly looked away in disgust, “No, it’s too

revealing,” he commented.

Leah was speechless and bit her lips as she looked down onto her dress.

“I think it’s alright,” she muttered.

Han stretched out his arm and pulled her to his side, “Then stay by my side throughout,” He told her.

“Why?” Leah looked up puzzled and asked.

“Your dress is too revealing. You’re going to attract unnecessary gaze from others.” Han replied.

… Mr Howard, you’re overthinking. Leah thought to herself.

Before walking into the lift, Han added sternly, “Don’t wear something like this ever again.”

Leah was left speechless as she felt his thoughts were overly childish.

The place where they were going was in the tallest building at Dawnville.

They even had a designated private car that fetched them to the location.

On the way, Han went through the details with Leah once again, “R.W. Co. belongs to Roman Walker

now. You’ve read all about his information and his favorite jewelry styles, right?”

Leah nodded back.

Han then asked, “So how confident are you in this meeting?”

Leah was taken aback by Han’s question. Although she felt confident before the meeting, she

nervously responded, “Uh… What if the deal doesn’t go well, Mr Howard?”

“That’s all to it then,” Han simply replied.

“What?” Leah could not believe what she heard.

“If it doesn’t go well, we’ll just convince them with cash,” he uttered.

Leah rolled her eyes upon his apathetic response.

After some time, they arrived at the building and an assistant guided them into the building.

Roman Walker, the president of R.W. Co., was standing in front of the entrance waiting for their arrival.

As of now, R.W. Co. was the biggest jewelry company in the country. However, its scale paled in

comparison with the Howard Group, which was well-known all over the globe.

“Welcome to R.W. Co., Mr Howard!” A gentle voice was heard.

Leah was surprised when she saw Roman smiling at them.

“It’s you,” Leah called out.

Roman’s gaze moved from Han to Leah, “Oh, seems like the world is small. I wasn’t able to catch your

name that day. So you’re Mr Howard’s assistant.” His smile grew wider and greeted Leah.

Leah nodded and reached out her hand, “Nice to meet you, Mr Walker. I’m Sarah White,” she

introduced herself.

“Roman Walker. It’s a pleasure meeting you,” He shook her hand and replied.

Seeing their interaction, Han perked his brows, “You know each other?” He asked.

Roman smiled and explained, “There was a misunderstanding with Ms White when we first met, but

worry not, it’s resolved now.”

Han glared at Leah after hearing Roman’s answer and she pretended to not notice it.

Soon after, Roman brought Han and Leah into the lift and the three of them walked toward the

conference room.

Once they walked out of the lift, a bright voice chirped, “Roman!”

It’s this voice again…

Leah turned around with a blank face and met Yves.

She saw Yves’ facial expression instantly turned into disappointment.

“Why is she here again?!” Yves pointed at Leah and questioned Roman.

She then pointed out Leah’s outfit, “Why are you wearing such revealing clothes? Do you plan on

seducing Roman?” Her eyes were filled with hatred as she asked.

“Yves! Stop with this nonsense!” Roman’s expression changed and scolded, “This is Ms White, who is

Mr Howard’s assistant.”

Yves didn’t know who Han was, let alone Leah.

She pouted and replied, “She’s a mere assistant! Roman, she didn’t apologize for making a mess on

my dress yesterday!”

She shook Roman’s arm and acted like a spoiled child.

If someone else was making such a fuss, Han would have been furious.

However, Roman was quite patient towards her and consoled, “It’s already in the past. I have a

meeting with Mr Howard right now. Go and wait in my office in the meantime.”

“I don’t want to!” Yves pouted and glared arrogantly. She rolled her eyes and pointed at Leah, “I’m not

going till she apologizes to me! If not, don’t even think about being partners with our company!” She

warned.

In Yves’ eyes, Roman was the most powerful person in the world.

His jewelry company was second to none in the entire nation. Local and overseas businesses would do

anything to strike a deal with him.

So naturally, she thought they were as desperate as the others too and an apology was simply but a

small favor to ask for.

“Yves, stop messing around,” Roman started frowning.

“I’m not joking! If she doesn’t apologize, I’m not allowing them to talk with you!” Yves raised her brows

as she argued.

Leah’s face gradually turned gloomy, as Han frowned.

Leah noticed Han’s face and sighed, “Very well then.” She did not want to cause any fuss that could

annoy both parties.

Besides, she would have to bear the blame if they were unable to strike a deal.

When Leah decided to apologize, she felt a pat on her shoulder.

She lifted her head up and was met with Han’s piercing gaze.

She felt a chill run down her spine as she knew that his expression meant someone could be in trouble.

Han looked up and uttered, “She’s my partner. I won’t let her apologize.”
