Chapter 43 Playing Pig And Eating Tiger

Leila adjusted her mood and hid her deep hatred towards him. A decent smile appeared on her face. Then she stepped in. In front of the office table, Johnson greeted her warmly, "Leila, you're here."

Leila greeted him with respect, "Father."

He stood up and tried to squeeze out a smile from his face. He said, "Leila, you can stop working from tomorrow."

Leila was shocked. She raised her eyebrows. Of course, she wouldn't be demoted by Johnson. She could guess what Johnson would say to her, according to what Max said to her this morning.

As expected, Johnson continued, "Max has told me just now. You just need to concentrate on the work Max has asked you to do. As for the company, in the logistics department, there aren't a lot of things to do, you don't have to worry about it."

Leila laughed coldly in her heart. He finally admitted that the position he gave to her was not significant. Apparently, Johnson didn't realize that he had made a slip of the tongue. His eyes were bright, as if he has seen his bright future.

As long as the Mu Group would keep supporting him, Johnson was sure that his company would prosper.

Johnson looked so greedy on his face, but Leila felt disgusted. She covered her emotion very well and didn't change her smile. She continued to set up the splendid trap for Johnson. She said in a soft voice, "Okay, I'll do it as Max has asked. But I don't know much about project and architecture. Father, you must help me when I encounter difficulties."

Pretending to be serious, Johnson said in a caring tone, "As a father, I should do everything I can to help my daughter."

Something occurred to Leila's mind as she laughed softly. "I heard that the nurses in the hospital are not very responsible. They always serve the patients casually..."

She lengthened the ending word on purpose. Then Johnson understood what she meant and said, "I was planning to hire a personal nurse for your mother as well. You and your mother have suffered a lot in the past years."

On hearing his mention of her mother, Leila almost lost control of her emotion. She lowered her eyes to hide the surging emotion. Then Johnson continued, "Leila, I have a favor to ask you. Would you please..."

Johnson was never a man who would suffer losses. Since he has agreed to Leila's request, she must pay with the same price. A cold expression appeared on Leila's face. She raised her eyes and said with a friendly smile, "Father, if you have anything to say, please tell me. I will try my best to do you a favor."

Hearing this, Johnson looked at her and said, "Our company is going to shoot a publicity video, but as you know, the company is short of money recently. Can you ask Max to invest..."

Leila pretended to be embarrassed. "Dad, you know what kind of person Max is. I've been with him for only a short time. If I ask him for money, I'm afraid I'll draw his dissatisfaction."

Leila's words sounded perfectly convincing. On hearing her words, Johnson was rendered speechless. On second thought, he realized that he was too impatient. It wouldn't be worthwhile if Max lost interest in Leila due to this.

It should be a long-term plan.

Thinking of this, Johnson smiled awkwardly and said, "That's right. I'm not thoughtful enough. Let's talk about the advertising video of our company later."

Leila was amused by his words. She didn't know what made Johnson believe her words. It may because he wa

Drugged one night by her ex-boyfriend, a mysterious man took advantage of her in an ecstatic night filled with sex.

To take her revenge, she married the man, and used him.

"As long as I'm alive, I'm still his legal wife, while all of you are just his mistresses."

She remained adamant even when he was involved in scandals with other women.

Eventually she stormed off after she learned that he had betrayed her again.But life brought her back to him a few years later, to his astonishment.

stopped in front of the door, looked at the scene in the office and slightly lowered her eyes.

There was an ambiguous sound coming from the office, but Leila didn't seem to hear it. She raised her hand and knocked on the open door, and then she felt someone was staring at her. Leila didn't look up. She stood in front of the door like a well behaved cat waiting for the order of her master.

"Come in."

Hearing that, Leila stepped into the room. The atmosphere was still ambiguous. In an instant, a sudden touch of disgust arose from her heart, she tried to hide this feeling and shew a smile on her face. "Max, I'm here." she said softly. This was the first time she called him, and it seemed that she has never called him by his name since they knew each other. Max narrowed his deep eyes and looked at the little woman standing neatly beside him, with unpredictable emotion in his eyes.

Bertha, sitting in the arms of Max, behaved restlessly, and was very resentful due to the arrival of Leila. It was so close that she almost succeeded. She almost succeeded in coming back to Max again!

Bertha laid her hands on him all the way down from his waist. Max's eyes turned cold, and he grabbed her wrist. His thin lips moved slightly. "Get out." he said coldly.

The face of Bertha became pale. Then unwilling Bertha forced a smile and said, "Max, we were just..."

"Fuck off."

Her words were interrupted by Max, Bertha shuddered and knew that he was angry. She stood up from his arms angrily, then her high heels made a sound of clattering. When Bertha passed Leila, she gave Leila a cold look and walked out of the office.

"Come here."

Hearing that, Leila went over obediently. When she walked to him, she was suddenly held into his arms. After a round of dizziness, she heard a low voice. "Since you drove her away, then you will take responsibility for the fire she lit."

Leila didn't like this sentence. She thought that he was like a very ancient king. And her dignity was insulted, so she subconsciously avoided the kiss he gave her. Then there was a meaningful look in Max's eyes.

Max was such a smart man that he could tell what's behind Leila's every move. There was an icy aura around him. He said to Leila with a vicious smile, "You think that I’m dirty?"
