Leonardo's nonchalance enraged Amber. She finally lost it and ranted, "Can't you tell I'm upset?"
After a moment of silence, he asked, "What's wrong?"
"Summer has been a pain in my ass. She and Eliza have ganged up against me!" Amber felt those women were on the same side, and Summer must have asked Eliza to say that balderdash.
She didn't know Summer had no interest in her.
"Is that so?" His voice was still indifferent, and it sounded like he didn't care about her at all.
Just as Amber was about to question him, he added, "I'll come to see you on the set when I wrap things up."
Amber was prickled with excitement and said softly, "Alright."
Leonardo said, "Then I will be back to my work."
Amber felt much better knowing he would come for her. She was almost certain he no longer had feelings for Summer after what had happened in the restaurant. After all, how could he care about a mediocre woman like Summer when he was with her?
However, there was one thing that had been disturbing her. She was 30 years old and no longer innocent, so she knew the secret between men and women. Unfortunately, they had never done it since they got together.
Not to mention that, they hadn't even kissed. She had tried to kiss him when he wasn't paying attention, but he skillfully dodged it as if he didn't want it.
Every time, he would say, "Let's take things slow." But they were already in their thirties, so what was the point of being slow?
If Leonardo hadn't been doting on her without showing any interest in Summer, she would have doubted whether Leonardo really loved her.
Even his investment in "Lost City 2" was Amber's idea.
The investment wouldn't benefit the Emerson Group, so Leonardo had rejected it, but in the end, he listened to her. The most important thing was Leonardo loved her. A man was no wiser than a woman in the heat of love. Amber was determined to be intimate with him when he came to the set.
When Tim pushed open the door and entered Leonardo's office, he saw he was on the phone with an impatient look. He could tell from the conversation it was Amber.
He remembered Summer had asked him if Leonardo and Amber were happy together. He had rarely seen Leonardo and Amber talking on the phone, let alone to see them on a date.
Now Leonardo looked aloof and distant while speaking to Amber over the phone. But there used to be love in his eyes when he did the same thing with Summer.
Tim could leave after he put down the documents. But he chose to wait for Leonardo to finish the call before placing them before him.
After Leonardo hung up the phone, he threw it aside and didn't even look at it.
Tim couldn't help but doubt if Leonardo and Amber got together because he liked her.
Leonardo flipped through the documents and looked up to ask, "Is there anything else?"
