Leonard slowly shook his head. "No, llisa… She's pregnant!"
After those words ca out, Leonhart smiled clearly. "I know, so the course will start in January next year… There are three branches of our family hospital overseas. There's no need to worry about the birth of your child."
Oh, this dear father knew everything and he'd made all the arrangents for him!
Leonard looked at him deeply, sighed and nodded. "If this is the case, then it's all up to you. But… three years… is that not too long?"
"Well, don't think this is just a waste of ti. You left Bandung at the age of 19 and worked as a policeman for many years. I believed that you had the absolute ability to catch criminals."
"But for family developnt and planning, even though you have received training in finance since childhood, you still lack practical experience. Three years is not long, I will wait for you and llisa to return and that's when I will fully entrust the Adler Family to you!"
...
At this ti, near the inner space of the Flower Hall, llisa had been standing not far from the corridor, waiting for a while.
She wasn't hungry, so she planned to wait outside the door and wait for Leonard to co out before finally going to eat.
lissa took a deep breath. The air conditioner above her head was still blowing cold air, feeling slightly cool that she subconsciously rubbed her arm with her hand.
"Miss Mayer!"
At this mont, a casual call ca from the other side of the silent corridor.
llisa looked at him closely, and under the warm yellow light, she saw Frans walking leisurely.
He was still wearing his gray casual suit when he attended the banquet. Such clothes show his relaxed and unruly style.
llisa looked into his narrow eyes, and instinctively beca alert.
"Mr. Francis."
She called out to him warmly, and silently stared at his walking figure.
This man, with his narrow and sharp gaze combined with the scar on his brow, didn't look like a good person.
In an instant, Frans was already standing in front of her.
There were only a few steps between the two, but his unfriendly eyes made llisa involuntarily feel tension in her nerves.
Do they know each other?
If she had never seen him before, why did his voice have an inexplicable familiarity?
At this mont, Frans put one hand in his pocket, and leaned against the wall.
He looked carelessly at llisa with his aggressive gaze. After a few seconds, he lifted his lips. "Miss Mayer, how about we chat for a bit?"
llisa stared back at him nonchalantly. "It's getting late, shouldn't you better rest?"
She didn't respond directly to Frans' question. This person appeared here and at a ti like this… of course it felt too strange and intentional.
lissa was well aware, she couldn't believe that Frans just wanted to co and be friends with her!
Hearing this, Frans shrugged and narrowed his eyes with a smile. "Isn't Miss Mayer herself not resting? You haven't answered yet, how about we have a chat?"
"A person like you is willing to chat with , of course I'm honored." llisa nodded pretentiously, avoiding the man's eyes cleverly.
Frans aggressively leaned over and pushed her against the wall. "What kind of person do you think I am? If I say that I admire you, then is it weird that I want to be friends with you?"
This excuse sounds wrong!
The wariness in llisa's eyes grew stronger.
As Frans moved closer, he also caught the look in the woman's eyes.
This situation made llisa feel like a cornered kitten.
Thinking of this, she leaned back and retreated to a safe distance again, answering warmly, "Mr. Frans, you are really good at joking!"
"Is that true?" Frans looked surprised, then said back, "Did this Miss Mayer misunderstand? I really want to be friends with you. If my reason to admire you isn't enough, then... Actually, I'm more interested in llisa Mayer's true identity. How about this then?"
llisa's heart sank, and her brows grew colder.
Intuitively, this Frans guy in front of her seed dangerous.
She had a good mory, she searched her deepest mories but she couldn't find any clues about him.
But where did her refusal co from? Was it instinctive?!
Perhaps because lissa was silent for a long ti, Frans gradually reduced the tension around him and laughed.
His eyes were long and narrow, exuding a deep aning that llisa couldn't understand.
Not long after, the door behind her suddenly opened, and Leonard ca out from inside with a calm expression.
As he walked, he was surprised. He didn't expect to see llisa and Frans facing each other in the corridor.
He calmly walked forward, raised his hand to hug llisa's arm, and saw Frans leaning back on the wall for a mont.
"Why are you here?"
When the words fell, the man was standing firmly against the wall, and his tone was very light. "I was just taking a walk!"
Leonard seed to extend his eyebrows and smiled clearly. "So, are you done talking?"
Frans glanced at Leonard and looked at llisa, then said with intrigue, "I was a little bored at first, but I happened to et Miss Mayer, which made very happy!"
This kind of remark ca out of his mouth, and it was inappropriate to say it to soone else's wife.
However, Leonard was not angry, and he didn't even have an expression. He hugged llisa to his side, looked at the woman and smiled, "Thank you for taking your ti to accompany Mr. Frans."
After he finished speaking, Leonard looked at his opponent again, and said formally, "Since Mr. Frans is bored, is it necessary for to accompany you?"
Frans had an evil smile on his mouth, and he glanced lightly at him. "No, I've already t the person I want to see, so others are not that important! It's getting late, I won't bother you anymore. Miss Mayer, see you tomorrow!"
After saying that, Frans smiled at llisa faintly. Then he turned around and returned to where he ca from.
Leonard and lisa saw his departing figure, and their expressions filled with earnestness.
What was that guy's goal?!
Leonard contemplated for a few seconds, then heard a soft gasp.
He looked sideways at lissa, and when he let go of his arm, he unbuttoned his jacket and asked, "What did he say to you?"
llisa licked the corners of her dry lips and shook her head slightly. "He didn't say anything, he just said he wanted to be friends."
Leonard took off his coat and placed it on llisa's shoulder. When he hugged her again, he comforted her. "It's fine, don't be afraid.. No matter what he wants, I will protect you."
