Chapter 243 - Revenge 244: Because I Am Single!

"Hey! Are you even listening to me?" Leon who has been talking for quite a while now is annoyed that Anna has not been paying any attention to him. Anna always nods at every word he says, and when he noticed that, he said something stupid which obviously made Anna nodded once again. That is when he noticed that she is not listening.

Slightly startled, Anna looks at Leon with a forced smile on her face. "H-huh? Y-yeah, I'm listening." Anna scratched that back of her neck which is the sign when she is lying. For the days that Anna and Leon has together worked side by side, Leon already knew this habit of Anna.

"You're scratching the back of your neck." Leon said, "That means that you are lying, so tell me, why are you not listening to me?" Even though Leon is not the type of person to get agitated so easily, he can't help it when someone is not listening to every word he says, especially when he is serious.

"I am not! Don't..." Anna tried to find her way out of it, but she just can't find the right words to escape Leon's accusation. "Fine. I'm not un my usual self today."

"And why is that?" Leon asked. It is unusual for Anna to be so out of it. It's like something big is troubling her, and he wanna know what it is. Whatever problem she had, it has to be solved immediately because the pageant event is coming near, and he wants Anna to be in her very best.

"I-it's..." Anna hesitates to tell Leon what is bothering her. She doesn't want him to laugh at her for making things complicated for her when she could have just admitted to herself that she likes Kyle.

Anna subconsciously held that necklace around her neck, and Leon noticed that. Leon remembers the time when Kyle accidentally saw him and his boss, and he also remembers that his boss mentioned that Kyle bought a necklace for a girl. Obviously, that girl is Anna which could possibly mean that the necklace Anna is wearing right now is the one that Kyle bought.

"Are you having a love problem?" Leon asked straightforwardly. Inwardly, Leon is screaming in delight, he finally got some juicy news to share with his boss. As excitement is rising up inside him, Leon secretly presses the record button on his phone. Later, when he sees his boss, he will play this to his boss.

'Drama, drama, drama. I can't wait for it.' Leon inwardly said.

Anna stopped touching her necklace and looks at Leon with a surprised look. It was as if she is asking how did he know about her problem. "Haha. You're talking nonsense." Somehow Anna felt embarrassed at the fact that she has been found out.

"Nonsense? Anna, for the short time we are spending time together and the advises that your brother has been giving me about you, I know when you are lying to me." Leon said with a smirk plastered on his face. He is having a hard time trying not to tease Anna too much.

With a surprise face, Anna spoke, "My twin brother is giving you advises about me?" This piece of news really surprises her very much, she did not expect her brother to be so open to Leon that he would even advise him about her. Usually, her brother won't share anything that involves her.

"Yes, and please don't change the subject to your brother. Let us just focus on the problem with your love life." Leon knows this kind of tactic Anna has, pushing the topic towards her brother so that she can avoid the topic about her feelings for Kyle.

Anna purses her lips before replying back to Leon, "Is there a way for me not to talk about this?" Anna tried to act cute in front of Leon attempting to make him rethink about questioning her about her feelings.

"Acting cute is not really gonna work." During the time Leon is working for Anna's father, Leon has seen a lot of women acting cute in front of his boss and he is quite immune to seeing women like those.

Anna's cuteness might be better than those women, but he is not gonna fall for that. He needs a story to share with his boss, and he is not gonna let Anna have it her way.

"Fine. I do have that problem." Feeling defeated, Anna told Leon everything, and of course, Leon is taking every information inside his head.

After listening to everything that Anna had just said, Leon raises an eyebrow to her and said, "Are you being serious?" As a person who is not in a relationship, Leon felt bitter and he wants to say something sarcastic to Anna, but he won't say any sarcastic remarks because he is still recording.

"I am being serious. It really does bother me a lot and I-I don't know what to do." Anna said stuttering.

"You don't know what to do? You know, you saying that really offend me." Leon said with a straight face and his remarks made Anna frowns at him.

"How did I offend you?" Anna said. She said nothing that could possibly offend Leon, and if she did she would have apologized for it. 'What nonsense is he claiming at now?' She inwardly asked.

"Because I am single! That's how you offended me!" Anna and Kyle have no idea about their feelings for each other, and obviously, once they both confess to each other, they are gonna end up together. They will be a couple and he is probably gonna be single for a long long time. He is feeling bitter just thinking about it.

"Say what? Is there something wrong with your hearing? I did not say anything about you being single." If Anna were to say more, she would say that she care if he is single or not. "Blaming me for offending really is something."
