Summer bit her lips and continued, "I even think that the fact that they stole Rosie has something to do with what they want to hide!"
Leonardo was silent for a long time on the other end of the phone.
Summer did not hear Leonardo's voice for a while and said, "Leonardo, what's wrong with you?"
Leonardo said with a forceful tone, "I see. Remember what I said last night. Don't interfere in this matter anymore."
After he finished speaking, he hung up the phone.
Summer looked at the screen of her phone that had returned to the contact list and she was somewhat puzzled. Why did Leonardo hang up suddenly?
He used to hang up after her.
Leonardo hung up Summer's phone. He held the phone tightly in his hand, and the joints of his fingers were slightly white.
When Tim came in with a stack of documents in his arms, he saw Leonardo standing in front of the French window in a cold and solemn aura.
Tim put the documents on Leonardo's desk and said, "Mr. Emerson."
"Do you have any cigarettes?"
Leonardo did not turn around, but he was asking Tim. After all, there were only him and Tim in the office.
Tim didn't smoke much, but he always carried cigarettes with him.
He took out a cigarette from a cigarette case and handed it to Leonardo.
Leonardo did not take it. However, he took the entire cigarette case and the lighter in Tim's other hand.
Leonardo looked down, took out a cigarette and held it between his lips. He said indifferently, "Go out."
After hesitating for a moment, Tim reminded Leonardo, "You are going to have a meeting in ten minutes..."
Leonardo didn't say anything. Tim knew that Leonardo heard what he said.
Tim's duty was to do what he should do well, but he could not interfere in anything else.
After Tim went out, Leonardo stood in front of the French window smoking cigarettes one after another.
Ten minutes later, Tim came to remind Leonardo that the meeting was about to begin. As soon as he entered Leonardo's office, he coughed repeatedly because of the smoke in the whole room.
Leonardo was still standing in front of the window. Tim walked over and said respectfully, "Mr. Emerson, the meeting is about to begin."
Tim caught a glimpse of Leonardo's cigarette butts as well as the empty cigarette case on the ground.
Leonardo wasn't addicted to cigarettes, so why did he suddenly smoke so much?
Did he quarrel with Mrs. Emerson again?
How big their gap was this time that he smoked so many cigarettes?
When Tim was wondering, Leonardo turned around and strode out.
Tim hurriedly brought the materials needed for the meeting and followed Leonardo to the conference room. All the top managers had arrived.
"Mr. Emerson, this is our latest revised proposal. Please take a look..."
Leonardo reached out to receive it. He skimmed through it and leaned back. He said nothing and his black eyes were so serious that no one could tell what he was thinking.
The manager who handed over the proposal thought that Leonardo was not satisfied with it, so his face immediately turned pale. The other managers looked at each other and didn't dare to say anything.
Tim looked at Leonardo, and knew that he wasn't angry. Leonardo wasn't satisfied with the new proposal, but he was thinking about something else.
The meeting room was quiet and no one dared to speak.
After a while, Leonardo looked up and said, "You have nothing to say? Then let's adjourn the meeting."
