The next day, Summer left home at six o'clock to go to Golden Cauldron Club.
Because Leonardo said they would have dinner at Golden Cauldron Club at seven o'clock, and she had nothing to do at home, so she went there early.
When she arrived at Golden Cauldron Club, it was 6:40.
Adams arrived there right after her.
Adams entered the private room and found that Leonardo was not there. He asked her, "Hasn't Leonardo come yet?"
Summer looked at her watch and found that it was almost seven o'clock. She sighed and said, "Ever since he returned to the Emerson Group, he has been so busy." The disappointment in Summer's tone couldn't be concealed.
Adams changed the topic, "Douglas wanted to come with me today, but his classmate invited him to play basketball, so he went out with his classmate."
Summer hadn't seen Douglas for a while. She kind of missed him and began to talk with Adams about Douglas.
They chatted while waiting for Leonardo.
However, Leonardo did not come for a long time.
Soon, it was already seven o'clock.
Leonardo had always been punctual, but he hadn't come yet. Could something bad have happened?
Summer called Leonardo, but she didn't get through. She frowned as she looked at the phone, her expression somewhat anxious.
Seeing this, Adams asked her, "What's wrong?"
"No." Summer pursed her lips and smiled reluctantly. "Leonardo hasn't come yet. I'm afraid he's been delayed because of something in the company. Otherwise, let's order now."
Adams, like her, came without dinner. If Leonardo was delayed for something, he might come late. He couldn't let Adams starve with her.
Adams didn't care and said, "Yes, just wait."
It had passed eight o'clock, so Summer decided not to wait and let Adams order the dishes.
As a result, this dinner was originally for three people, but now it was for Adams and Summer only.
After they finished the dinner and the waiters served a pot of tea, Leonardo arrived.
As soon as Summer saw Leonardo enter, she lowered her head to look at the tea in the cup.
Now that she saw Leonardo, she was angrier.
If he was busy today, he could choose another time. Couldn't he make a phone call and explain it if he was busy?
Adams poured a cup of tea for Leonardo and handed it to him. With a gentle tone, he asked, "Are you very busy?"
Leonardo sat down beside Summer and placed his hand on the back of Summer's chair. His possessiveness was very obvious.
Adams looked at Leonardo's arm for a few seconds and looked away, as if he had never noticed that.
"Not that busy." Leonardo picked up the teacup and drank all the tea. He looked at Summer and asked, "Have you eaten?" Adams said, "Well, since you didn't come for so long, we ordered and ate the dishes."
Leonardo did not say anything but only turned to look at Summer.
Summer pretended not to feel that he was looking at her and only drank her tea.
Was she angry?
"Well, I could have come here earlier, but I there was had a small car accident on the way and my phone broke," Leonardo looked at Adams and said.
Although Summer pretended to ignore him, she tried hard to hear him clearly when he spoke.
Just as he finished speaking, Summer turned around and asked, "Are you alright?"
"I'm fine." Leonardo looked at her and said with a smile, "It was someone else who had an accident and caused a traffic jam. That's why I come here late." Summer and Adams had already eaten, so Leonardo only ordered his own dishes.
He ate very fast, but he didn't look rude. It was even a pleasure to look at him while he was eating.
