"You are Patricia's friend. I should at least stay for a while for her sake." A sweet smile spread across Leena's face. At the moment, she looked like an innocent angel. However, she cursed Patricia a thousand times in her heart. Patricia had told her that she had been forced by her family to go on a date. She had begged Leena to accompany her. Now it seemed that everything Patricia said was to fool her into coming here alone. She took advantage of Leena's kind heart. What was more, Leena knew Patricia was a sly one. She had told herself that she wouldn't get caught in Patricia's trap. How wrong Leena was! Now she sat there, fuming and pretending nonchalance.
"At least? You wound me! I must really have a bad reputation if you are so harsh on me." Summer Xia forced a wry smile and laughed at himself. This woman was sharp with her words. She didn't call him names, but what she said frustrated him very much.
"Summer Xia, right? In this cold winter, I am literally feeling the warmth of summer... not because of you, but because of the idiotic way you act. Stop behaving so foolishly. You make me want to laugh! You know what, Summer? You act so childishly and I could not be more familiar with it. I've been bored with these antics since middle school. It is so out of date. Please! If you want to impress me, you'll have to try another way." The smile on Leena's face still looked beautiful and pure, but her words revealed that she wasn't so easy to please.
"Well, maybe I can't keep up with the trend these days. Come on, don't be so harsh on me! Don't dismiss me so easily." Summer's eyes widened. Leena's harangue surprised him and he stared at her, puzzled. Didn't Patricia describe her as gentle and sweet? From where he sat, he did not feel that way at all! Leena was more of a cunning girl, who did not allow herself to be in a situation she didn't want to be in.
"I'm sorry. I'm just not used to a cunning man behaving as if he is truly innocent and wet behind the ears," Leena said sardonically, pursing her lips. He should probably ask Edward - who was a real expert in this respect - for tips. Edward certainly had rich experience and Summer would be a good student under him.
"Hah! That's funny. Can I cal
f them managed to keep the atmosphere peaceful. However, they didn't notice the pair of eagle eyes staring at them from a corner of the coffee shop.
"Major General, it's Leena. Shall we go over and greet her?" At first, Lee had no idea what his Major General was staring at so intently, until he followed his gaze and saw Leena.
"Yes. Why not? Shall we say hello?" Kevin turned his stare away from that direction and took a look at Lee, his eyes gleaming. He didn't expect to see such an interesting scene, yes, 'interesting', when he arrived to meet a client here. He noticed Leena the moment she came in. She didn't see him because he sat in a barely noticeable corner of the shop. Kevin had planned to walk over after he finished with business, but unexpectedly, a young boy he had never seen before appeared before her. That was right, a young boy. To Kevin, he was merely a kid in a candy store.
"Uh. I don't know. But Major General, are we not heading to the army base now?" The corner of Lee's mouth turned down. The client had already gone. But the Major General neither walked over to Leena nor did he decide to return to the army base. 'What is he planning?' Lee thought, puzzled. 'The report needs to be dealt with urgently.'
"Why are we in such a rush?" Kevin asked him frigidly. A troubled feeling surged up in his heart when he saw Leena talking to the other man with an angelic smile on her face. He did not know what to do about it, so he decided to wait and watch.
