Secret Crush

Chapter 69 Set A Trap (Part One)

When Leila was lost in thought, Max was sitting on the sofa, and he had a noble posture with his legs crossed.

When Leila came back to her senses, she couldn't help but be a little stunned at the scene in front of her. Then she lowered her eyes, and the lovely behavior of her was not pretended anymore. It was as natural as her nature.

Max squinted, and his eyelashes were slightly closed, giving out a tinge of danger. He opened his thin lips and said, "Don't you say anything to thank me?"

To be honest, Leila really thought that she should not thank Max. If he has alerted the enemy in an instant, her stay in the Song Group afterwards would be like on thin ice. It was better for her to transfer the shares little by little in view of security.

But who was the man in front of her? Max, in the whole D city, as long as he said a word, the sky would change. Thus Leila still abandoned her pride and whispered, "Thank you."

Hardly had Leila finished speaking, she fell into his arms, then there was a blazing temperature on her waist. Leila bit her lips with slightly red face, and she heard a low and hoarse voice coming from Max.

"You are not sincere enough."

Before Leila could say something, her lips were kissed by someone. Leila subconsciously tried to escape, but thinking of his temperament, she gave up for she had to let Max do whatever he wanted. After a long time, she finally could breathe.

The voice sounded even lower and hoarser.

"This is called gratitude. Do you understand?"

Leila pressed her lips and didn't say a word. The numbness on her lips made her uncomfortable. She frowned slightly and found that Max was staring at her. In his deep eyes, there was a kind of mood that she couldn't understand, yet his eyes still looked pretty beautiful.

Being stared at by Max for a while, Leila felt nervous and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?"

Max stared intently at Leila for a long time before he turned his head. He did not answer her. A trace of weirdness flashed across his radiating eyes and then quickly disappeared.

Their conversation with Johnson was finished. Although it wasn't a perfect deal for Johnson, Max's deal was worth 500 million dollars, which was a big sum of money for Johnson!

When Leila went back to the company, she received a share transfer agreement from Johnson. When she was seeing through it, Johnson's signature on it made her squint.

If it weren't for Johnson, the name of her mother Lillian should have been signed on the contract! But now Johnson had already transferred Lillian’s shares to him. If it weren't for Max's help, Leila didn't know when she could take back the shares belonged to her mother.

With a hint of coldness in her eyes, Leila thought, 'This is just a small step. In the future, I will take back the whole Song Group!'

There was a knock on the door. Leila put the letter of transfer away quietly, and then she said indifferently, "Come in."

The person who pushed the door open was Wendi. She looked at Leila and said softly, "I have something to discuss with you."

Leila nodded. They were now in the same team and had a common goal, so it could be said that they had the same view. Leila asked, "What's the matter?"

Wendi handed the document to Leila and said, "Here are the evidences of corruption that the director of the financial department has accumulated over the years. Let's start with the financial department and destroy them one by one."

Leila took it over and had a look at it. The more she looked, the more terrible the expression on her face became. How could such a huge budget transfer not be doubted by Johnson?! At this rate, it was possible that the Song Group would be hollowed out.

It was a big failure to hand over the Song Group to Johnson!

Leila said, "I see. Is there anyone by your side?"

Wendi understood what Leila meant. Now that they had knocked down the head of the financial department, there would naturally be someone to replace him. She nodded and said, "Yes."

Leila understood and then there was a hint of coldness flashing across her eyes.

"That’s good. This is the first battle of our counterattack. We must win!"

Wendi curved her lips into a smile. This Leila was the one she was familiar with. She said, "Yes."

Leila had the evidence of corruption in hand, yet she still couldn't bring the director down perfectly. Moreover, if she rashly sent the evidence of corruption to Johnson, he would definitely be suspicious.

Therefore, they needed to prepare well for what would happen in the future, in order to make things seemed to happen naturally.

After Wendi left, Leila began to make a plan, and she even didn’t take notice of the vibration of her phone on the table. She kept changing the design with the drawing brush until she recorded every step fully in the end. Then she smiled.

When Leila looked through her cell phone, she was shocked when she saw a missed call from Max. She had never missed his call, so this accident caused her a headache. Her biggest worry was that he would limit her time to go to hospital.

Leila called back uneasily. After a long time, the phone was connected. A cold voice could be heard from the other end of the phone.

"What were you doing just now?"

On reflex, Leila wanted to say "Work", but then she thought of the "work" Max had given her, so she gave up and said honestly, "I'm designing to change the head of the Finance Department of the Song Group." Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

The man over the phone paused, and then said calmly, "Don't do anything for the time being. Discuss with me when you go back."

Leila agreed. After hanging up the phone, she was in a trance that Max didn't blame her for not answering the phone. She secretly scolded herself for being such a slavish person that she even put the key point in wrong.

In fact, it was not bad to have a discussion with Max. At least, every conversation with him wouldn't be in vain, and what Leila can learn from Max were far more than what she knew. In a sense, Max was definitely her teacher.

Leila pressed her lips and glanced at the plan that she had spent the whole afternoon. Then she stopped thinking and stood up, ready to go back to the apartment.

The weather was bad today. It was overcast, as if it was going to rain. As expected, as soon as Leila entered the apartment, it began to rain cats and dogs. The rain of summer came fiercely, without any sign of foreboding.

Leila wiped away the water that had been splashed on her body. When she was about to enter the house, she saw a white figure inside through the slightly open door, so she could not help but stop and pressed her lips. Every time where Rosa appeared, Max would always be somewhat strange.
