Chapter 894 894: Love Is Simple



Roy raised his eyebrows and picked her up while Cassie was shocked. He held her to the couch while Cassie buried her head into his arms.

"Roy, I am serious," Cassie added.

"Okay. Say it," He replied drowsily.

"Well, then you must let me down," Cassie started. She felt too embarrassed to talk with him in such a manner.

"You better say it as soon as possible, or I am not sure if I can control myself," Roy warned her, leaning closer to her and sniffing at her scent.

Cassie was clear about what he would do next if she didn't get to the point soon.

"It is about the Runestone Group," Cassie explained.

Roy looked at her, waiting for her to continue.

"Could you stop causing trouble to Joseph?" continued Cassie hesitantly.

"I am your husband, Cassie," said Roy with a big smile.

"Roy, I mean, I don't want Irish to get into trouble. She is also your sister," Cassie explained quickly.

Roy's arms tightened around her waist, ignored her words, and buried his face into her bosom.

He tickled Cassie, so she struggled in his arms.

"Don't move," Roy warned her.

"Well, then, don't just keep silent. Say something," Cassie urged him, eager to know his opinion. She heard on the news recently, which upset her.

"Although I don't manage the Runestone Group, I have to look out for the interests of all the shareholders," Roy heaved a deep sigh.

Cassie moved from his lap, sat beside him with her legs curdling on the couch, and responded, "But Joseph also did this for the company's interests. You know that all shareholders are scaremongering reds under the beds."

Reaching out, Roy gently patted her shoulders and said, "Don't worry about these things. I know how to handle it."

Cassie bit her lips for a while and then continued to persuade her husband, "I know you may think I am making trouble out of nothing. But try to put yourself into Joseph's shoes. You will realize he would never do something harmful to the company. Now all people outside are making harsh comments against our families. Can you promise me not to settle these things properly? Can you do this for me?"

When Cassie found that people made personal attacks against Joseph and said she was taking advantage of Joseph, she felt so annoyed that she wanted to argue with them directly.

Roy's eyes turned soft as he heard her last sentence. Then, after heaving a sigh, Roy held her into his arms again, keeping silent for a long time.

After becoming the psychological counselor of the Key Group, Fredrick made an excellent training schedule for employees. In a few days, Fredrick became an indispensable part of Key Group's psychological counselor team. Later, Leo put him responsible for the whole team, which showed that he was positive about Fredrick's professionalism.

After Leo took control of the Key Group, his father hardly appeared in public. He lived abroad for a long time, having a leisurely and carefree life. When he was the director of the board, he taught Leo that he should not force someone to do something he was not willing to do, especially Joseph.

Leo's father had experienced a lot and seen a lot. He kept close contact with Joseph's father as they were still young. When Joseph was very young, Leo's father commented that he was as cold and calm.

He also commented on Leo as impulsive.

So, he made such a suggestion for Leo as he was close to retiring.

In Leo's opinion, what he did was what he wanted. Even impulsive, he had a try. He didn't want to refute his father's comment. In fact, he also thought that his father was good at judging people. He had to admit that he himself was impulsive.

Fredrick came to the door of Leo's office with the expense application form for the next season in his hands. Before knocking at the door, he noticed Leo sitting on the chair and watching the setting sun out of the window. His back leaned against the chair. He was covered by the setting sun, looking a little lonely.

Noticing the movement, Leo didn't turn around and still kept silent.

It was not Leo's style.

Leo was known to be kind. The employees in the Key Group loved to compare Leo with Joseph, and finally, they came to the conclusion that they were so lucky to have such a nice boss as Leo. Leo was kind to his employees. He could make things easy as long as his principle was not violated.

Different people had different management styles. Joseph was famous for his strictness, while Leo was very kind.

After putting the files on the table, Fredrick pulled a chair and sat down.

Leo was still silent. Nobody knew what he was thinking about.

Fredrick lit the cigarette and just smoked slowly. He didn't talk.

Just in this way, they both enjoyed the most beautiful moment of the setting sun. 

When there was only a slight sunset glow, Leo spoke with a low voice, "Tell me, what is a good person or what is a bad one?"

Fredrick smiled lightly. "There is no pure good person or a bad one."

"The one who does something good may not be a good one, while the one who does something bad may be the bad one?"

Leo looked out of the window and asked lightly.

Fredrick smoked and made a beautiful smoke circle, "A person who does something good may be selfish, then he may be a bad guy, while a bad guy also has beloved ones, and when he is kind to someone, he is a good one."

Leo knocked at the chair handrail lightly, "Irish may regard me as a bad guy." And then he turned around and looked at Fredrick, "You are also included. Your image is already not good anymore for her."

Fredrick's fingers trembled slightly, and then he pressed the half cigarette into the ashtray, saying lightly. "When she saw Cassie lying in the blood, my image was not good anymore."

Leo smiled helplessly.

"Once Joseph fails, his career will be disrupted. You are a part of the plan, so Irish will not forgive you later." Fredrick said.

Leo's smile disappeared. He didn't talk and just took out a case of cigarettes. He didn't smoke it and just played with it. After a while, he said, "The biggest difference between Irish and other women is that she is clear about what she wants. From the beginning, she has driven me out and chosen Joseph over me. So, whatever I do, I cannot transform friendship to love. Love is simple. Either love or not, friendship is much more complicated. Superficially it hurts, but actually, it protects our relationship."

Fredrick smiled lightly.

"How about you?" Leo asked.
