Madison's movements paused for a moment.
For an instant, she thought her eyes were playing tricks on her. 'How could I run into Leo here? The Palmer Group is not located in the CTR Times Square building, isn't it?' she wondered.
"Why is he here?" Joe followed her gaze and saw the man. A disdainful look crossed his face.
Madison only hesitated momentarily before quickly figuring out why the man would be there.
Perhaps he found out that M&L Studio would sign with XR Entertainment today and decided to wait there, hoping to intercept Sylvia. Unfortunately, he didn't know that his wife, whom he had abandoned overseas for three years, was Sylvia, the designer of M&L Studio.
"Ignore him," Madison said nonchalantly as she withdrew her gaze.
After all, they had already divorced. She did not intend to be friends with her ex-husband and did not even want to greet him. After taking the roses from Joe, she walked side by side with him, her demeanor elegant and leisurely.
Leo had never seen Madison like this.
Her ugly and heavy bangs were combed up and woven into a braid along with her long hair, revealing a delicate and radiant face that was extremely dazzling in the sunlight.
He stared at her intently, trying to convince himself that the woman before him was not Madison!
In Leo's mind, she was a woman who always kept her head down and was reserved and uninteresting. She even spoke cautiously and meekly! How could she be a woman who exuded such charm in her every move?
Even though there was a considerable distance between them, Leo could distinctly see the crescent-shaped scar on her forehead.
Madison had gotten it from falling from a tree when they were children and were fooling around. She found the scar cute and refused to remove it. It became a reason for the elders to tease him every year.
After Sally returned, Madison covered her forehead with bangs, and no one brought up their childhood antics again.
There were many people with similar appearances, but they couldn't have identical scars.
This woman was undoubtedly her!
The person who had disappeared for a week just reappeared before him. Leo didn't think twice and walked toward Madison, not bothering to question why she was there.
As he approached, he saw the tall man who had given her roses move closer to Madison, his long arm encircling her slender waist...
Leo's black eyes suddenly darkened. His body reacted before his mind could, and he threw a fierce punch towards that face!
His action caught everyone off guard.
Madison was astonished. It took a moment before she realized what happened. She didn't have time to shout at Leo for what he had done. Instead, she went to take a look at Joe's injury.
Before she could reach Joe, her wrist was caught.
She struggled to free her hand. "Leo, let go of me!"
Leo's strength was overwhelming. He easily pulled her before him. "Madison, you disappeared for a week. Is this what you were up to? Have you been fooling around like this?"
Madison was so angry that her face turned red. She wanted to hit him. "Leo, are you crazy? You're hurting me. Let go of me now!"
At her words, the strength in the man's hands loosened slightly, but he still tightly restrained her. "This is not the place you should be. Come home with me."
Madison almost barked out a laugh. "Leo, are you out of your mind? If you are, you need a hospital. Why is this not a place where I should be? Is it illegal for me to come here to discuss work? Moreover, why should I go home with you? Let go of me!"
"Discuss work? Does discussing work require receiving flowers from a man?" Leo demanded.
