She mocked herself for her innocence and stupidity, and more for her stupidity. She blamed herself for getting too immersed in the tenderness and softness of Max to be able to extricate herself from it. She mocked that she had given her heart to him, but it had been broken by him ruthlessly.
Like a slap in her face, Max's words made her smile. She had to thank Max for waking her up in time. "Thank you for reminding me of this."
Otherwise, she would have thought that he loved her, doted on her and was willing to do anything for her. But now, he said that again, and everything she owned now was given by him, Max. Without Max, Leila would be nothing, unable to take her revenge, not to get the shares of the Song Group, nor could she afford her mother's medical fee. Thinking of this, she smiled. The smile on her face was bigger, "Mr. Mu, thank you so much! You have done so much for me. I should be grateful!"
Hearing that, Max's face became increasingly deep. He knew her too well. If she was not too sad, how could she say so many words against her will. He loosened her chin and looked at Leila gratefully with a smile.
The sorrow in her eyes hurt him. Leila shivered, turned around and walked to the door. "Sorry to bother you."
Leaving without waves was her last dignity. She wanted to leave here as soon as possible, and everything here seemed to remind her of what had just happened, which was so shameless.
Just like a clown, she enjoyed the admiration of others because Max, and then let Max help her carry a halo again and again. She was so tired.
She staggered into the elevator and collapsed on the wall without warning. Looking at the opposite figure, Leila bit her lips tightly. She couldn't cry here. She couldn't cry here.
Looking at the figure disappearing out of the glass door, though unwilling, he wanted to chase after her, but the man's dignity did not allow him to do so. He never needed to explain to anyone when he did things, including Leila.
"Remember your identity. I can spoil you, I can make you suffer."
Leila heard that Max's words like a magic spell. She didn't know how she walked out of the Mu Group, but felt that her vision became blurred, and then her tears rolled down like pearls.
She hadn't cried like this for a long time. Leila didn't like to show her fragility in front of outsiders. She couldn't help crying today. She gave her heart to someone today, and also lost her heart today. She was so sad by Max's words. She hated herself so useless.
Leila was wobbly, so she couldn't see the face of the person who was coming. She walked aimlessly, and she didn't know where to go. It was as if she had lost the direction o
tightly. "Leila, tell me what happened. I know you won't lie to me!"
Charles was sure that Leila would react to his words. He knew the woman so well that no matter how people would comment on her, he believed Leila was the true woman he knew.
Sure enough, Leila's eyes cleared up. She looked at the man in front of her. During all these years, he seemed to be the first one to discover her happiness and sorrow. His words were just like the warm sunshine in winter, melting the ice and snow in her heart.
Leila nodded and took Charles to sit beside her. She looked far into the distance and said, "I have made the deal with Max!"
When Charles heard that, a hint of joy flashed across Charles's face. He firmly believed that the woman he loved would not be so secular, let alone like rumors. He tried hard to suppress the excitement in his heart and looked sideways at Leila who was a little drifting.
This woman had a nice appearance, noble temperament and stubbornness, but now he saw her weakness. Her eyes were twinkling. Suddenly, Charles wanted to hold her in his arms and comforted her.
He did it again in the next second. But Leila was struggling in his arms like a frightened little beast. Charles's face darkened. Could it be that even a hug now would make her panic!
Leila wanted to push Charles away, but he held her even tighter. She kept struggling. Until now, she was still thinking about Max. If that domineering man saw this scene, he must be angry again.
Finally, Charles didn't force her. He let go of her and looked at Leila's face. "What's wrong, Leila?"
With her head down, Leila didn't dare to tell him the ridiculous terms of Max, but sighed slightly and then looked into the distance with dull eyes.
"Charles, I'm sorry. I lost control just now."
