Chapter 129 Chapter 129 Selling Charm I turned to Leonard, completely confused by his response.

Without a word, Leonard picked up a document and stood up. "Ms. Green, cwithto my office. You two, please wait here," he said, not even glancing atbefore walking out of the conference room.

I gave Zack an apologetic look and followed Leonard to his office. Once inside, I closed the blinds, ready to confront him.

"Leonard, what are you thinking? You know how strong Brightwave Group is!" "Yeah, I know. And I also know how persistent Zack is! He's been after you since college, even though you're married!" Leonard snapped, tossing the file onto his desk.

"He's been hovering around you for ages. I don't want to work with him. He's annoying," Leonard grumbled like a sulking child.

Seeing his childish attitude, I had to bite back my frustration. Instead, I calmly went over the benefits of working with Zack and his company, trying to reason with him.

But Leonard just sat there, staring at the document before him and sulking silently.

He knew the facts, but he wasn't budging out of pure stubbornness.

Finally, I threw my hands up in defeat.

"Fine. Harmon Group is yours, not mine. My opinion clearly doesn't matter here." I had said all I could. If he didn't want to listen, there was nothing more I could do.

The stress was starting to get to me, and given my health, I decided it wasn't worth pushing further.

I turned to leave the office, thinking a little distance from him might dogood.

But as soon as I opened the door, I spotted a flash of red-Alisa was outside, eavesdropping.

An idea suddenly struck me. I quickly spun around and marched back to Leonard.

"Leonard, are you seriously considering working with the Green family just because of Alisa? You really can't resist, can you?" I purposely raised my voice, catching Julia's attention at the door. "What are you even saying? Have you lost your mind?" Leonard banged his hand on the desk, glaring at 1. me.

I pointed toward the door where Julia was lingering.

"You think I don't see what's going on between you two? The way you're all flirty with each other?" I deliberately raised my voice again, making sure Alisa could hearclearly.

I went closer to Leonard and winked at him. I then whispered, "Test her?" If we were going to investigate the Green family, this was the perfect opportunity.

Alisa had practically delivered herself to us.

Leonard looked atin disbelief and pulledcloser, lowering his voice. "Are you insane? You wantto seduce her?" I nodded quietly.

Leonard was handsenough to make any woman fall for him, Over the years, he'd attracted plenty of Chapter 129 Selling Charm attention, even from men.

His grip tightened on my hand, and just as I was about to reply, the office door swung open.

"Leonard, please don't fight because of me. I'd feel terrible if you did," Alisa's voice was full of feigned innocence, givinggoosebumps.

I yanked my hand away from Leonard, and his expression immediately shifted.

"I'm the CEO of Harmon Group. I decide who we work with!" 2/2

I snapped back. "And I'm the Design Director at Harmon Group! The m overpass project is my design, and I own the patent!" The patent had been a hard-won victory that I had invested a lot of effort into securing.

He looked a bit taken aback by my firm stance, but I saw a faint om Sawafaint amusement in his eyes. I shot him a look, urging him to keep up the act. He cleared his throat and said, "Leave us. I need to speak to Ms. Alisa alone." I glared at Alisa, making sure she saw my irritation, and stormed out of the office.

As I closed the door, I caught a glimpse of Leonard forging and m rd forgingan awkward smile. He was starting to sound all formal and official. "Ms. Alisa, I'm terribly sorry for the outburst earlier. I didn't mean to frighten you," he said, laying on the charm.

I made a funny face at him and quickly shut the door.

He was actually pulling it off pretty well.
