Hearing what Leonardo and Amber were talking about, Summer sneered. And when she raised her head, she pretended not to hear anything and directly walked past them.
She didn't stop for a moment. Only then did Amber see Summer. She was surprised and subconsciously turned to look at Leonardo. But Leonardo was looking in another direction, his expression slightly solemn, as if he was pondering over something.
Thinking of what had happened in the meeting room this morning, Amber had a strange feeling.
Somehow, she muttered to herself, "Why did Summer leave before the show was over?" She said casually, but as she spoke, she was paying close attention to Leonardo's expression secretly. However, Leonardo didn't move at all, nor did he even look at her.
Amber got angry when Leonardo suddenly turned to look at her. He saw the anger on her face and looked at her with a faint smile in a mocking way. Then, Leonardo said in a cold voice, "Do you remember what you said when you asked me to invest in 'Lost City 2'?"
Amber was surprised, and then hurriedly said, "Yes, I do."
She said that she only wanted to win Summer for once, and she had promised it would definitely not delay the shooting of "Lost City 2". Thinking of this, Amber's expression changed. She had only said so to make Leonardo like her.
However, when Leonardo had mentioned this, it was obvious that he meant something else, like ridicule or blame.
"Good." Leonardo looked at her calmly and turned his head away.
Tim had arrived and was hurriedly walking towards Leonardo. "Mr. Emerson."
"Is everything ready?"
Tim nodded and replied, "Yes, sir."
Leonardo completely ignored Amber and directly left.
"Leonardo!" Amber called him from behind.
Leonardo didn't seem to have heard it and kept walking. However, Tim handed an invitation letter to Amber.
He said seriously to Amber, "Mr. Emerson is going to attend a charity party tonight and he wants you to go with him. And Mr. Emerson has something to deal with now. Please excuse us, Miss Amber."
Amber was surprised to see the gilded invitation letter, and then she was delighted, "Did Leonardo ask you to give it to me?"
"Of course." Tim was indifferent without showing much respect, as if he was only dealing with a business affair.
Amber took the invitation and smiled. "I see. Thank you, Assistant Tim."
Tim nodded, then turned around and left to catch up with Leonardo.
Amber held the invitation letter and looked in the direction where Leonardo had gone. She could still vaguely see him. She chuckled, thinking that Leonardo still cared about her and he was just a little angry. Otherwise, he wouldn't have let her accompany him to the party.
All the bad emotions of the day had been relieved at this moment.
Summer returned to the hotel, took a shower, and lay on the bed. However, she couldn't fall asleep anyway.
Closing her eyes, she could still feel Leonardo's heavy breathing by her ears.
Somehow everything that had happened in the lounge kept flashing back in her mind.
