Actually, after being rescued from the fire by Leonardo, Rosie seldom took the initiative to talk with others, except for a few people. And Tim was one of them.
It was not strange that Rosie was close to Tim. Leonardo had been indifferent, even when communicating with Rosie, his daughter.
Tim was different from him. Although he was strict at work, being a father himself, he was patient and gentle with children. Besides, Tim had been by Rosie's side since she was born. As Rosie grew up suffering a lot, Tim felt sorry for her and was extremely kind to her.
He put on a warm smile at Rosie and took out a lollipop from his pocket as if performing a conjuring trick. Then, he handed it to her.
Rosie looked up at Summer. Summer nodded, indicating that she could take it.
Tim didn't look away from Rosie until she took the lollipop. Then, he turned to Summer and said respectfully, "I'm waiting for you here under Mr. Emerson's order. Let's go."
Summer reached out to tuck her hair behind her ear and looked at Tim with a faint smile, "I know the way. Leonardo doesn't need to do it."
"Ms. Summer, you think too much. With Rosie, you probably will have hard times going out. Mr. Emerson is afraid that you may need help," Tim explained in a decent way.
Summer knew that no matter what she said, Tim was able to respond. Working for Leonardo, Tim naturally was shrewd. Summer said with a smile, as if she took a tumble, "It turns out that Leonardo is worried about Rosie."
Tim sighed, "Ms. Summer, please follow me."
Summer walked behind Tim with Rosie. After a while, she realized that Tim led them to Leonardo's private elevator at the entrance of the parking lot, rather than the company's gate.
How thoughtful Leonardo was! Was he afraid that others would see her and Rosie enter the Emerson Group? He must have been worried about the rumors.
Summer gave a mocking smile. As a man, when Leonardo changed, he was even more careful than women.
The floor number in the elevator kept changing until after they arrived.
After getting out of the elevator, Summer sneered, "Isn't Leonardo busy lately? Why does he come to such a small project himself?"
"Mr. Emerson is responsible for every project," Tim said seriously. If Summer did not know Leonardo well, she probably would believe Tim.
No matter what happened, Tim would back up
Leonardo all the time. Even though Summer asked further, she was unable to get any information from Tim.
Tim led Summer to Leonardo's office. He knocked on the door, "Mr. Emerson, Ms. Summer is here."
"Come in." Summer's heartbeat quickened as there came Leonardo's deep voice from inside.
Only then did Tim open the door and make way for Summer. Why did they sign the contract in Leonardo's office? Summer found him strange recently.
Summer entered the office with Rosie.
Leonardo sat at his desk and flipped through a document. Summer wondered what he was reading.
Holding Rosie's hand, Summer went to Leonardo. Only then did he look up at Summer.
"I will take care of Rosie, and you can go and have a negotiation with my employees about the contract. When you are done, come over and take Rosie away," Leonardo said in a cold voice. It seemed that Summer was a stranger to him, and he even didn't cast a glance at her.
Summer was shocked. It turned out that Leonardo only cared about Rosie. Obviously, he had asked Tim to wait for them merely because of Rosie.
