Catherine‘s POV
Melinda left. I took out my plone and found Leo‘s number,
I called him.
In just a few seconds, I heard his lazy and hoarse voice, saying, “Cathy, what‘s up?”
Apparently, Leo was still drowsy. I was stunned for a moment.
Wait... Why did lie call me Cathy? Shouldn‘t he have called me Catherine, as he did before?
“Cathy... Cathy..” After calling my name a few times, he suddenly smiled and changed the way he addressed me, “Catherine, is this a prank?”
I didn‘t mean to keep silent. I was just still stunned by the way he called me. By the time I tried to speak, I had already heard Leo‘s voice with a smile.
“No. How dare I? You are a big star!” I immediately teased him.
“Then why did you wake me up so early in the morning? Do you have anything urgent?” Leo‘s voice was still lazy, but it was also brisk and joyful, so it was pleasant.
I tried to ignore his playful tone and said in a low voice, “Yes. I have a favor to ask. Can we meet?” Content © provided by NôvelDrama.Org.
“Buy me lunch!” Leo said without hesitation.
“OK. Do you need to go somewhere special?” I thought men of his status should be picky, so I asked.
“Do you have money now?” asked Lco,
“Why are you asking me that?” I was confused. Was he worried that I couldn‘t afforda big meal?
Leo smiled and said, “Because I am worried. If name a restaurant where one meal costs you a year‘s salary, you‘ll be heartbroken.”
I was amused by his words and immediately replied seriously, “Don‘t worry. It‘s about work. The company will pay for the meal.”
“I see. Well, I don‘t have any requirements in particular. I just want tasty food and an elegant, less crowded dining environment. By the way, no more cameras on us again. Otherwise, Blake will go crazy!” After saying that, Leo hung up the phone.
I stared at my phone and blinked. “Seriously? No requirements in particular?”
Big stars were spoiled. I figured that Leo‘s pickiness was reasonable.
So, I went to Melinda for advice.
After hearing my words, Melinda took out a business card from her drawer and said, “It‘s a nice French restaurant. Why don‘t you take him there? The environment is nice, and most importantly, the food is great!
“Is it expensive?” I asked.
Melinda rolled her eyes at me and said, “People who do big things should be more generous. You should know how mucha profit Leo can bring you. It doesn‘t matter how expensive it is. The company will pay.”
I smiled self–mockingly, “I guess I am not one of those people!”
I left Melinda‘s office, called the French restaurant, and then sent the address to Leo.
He quickly replied, “Got it!”
I packed my things and left the company.
As the host, I arrived at the restaurant ahead of Leo.
Unlike restaurants where dinersate in the lobby, this restaurant was equipped with several private rooms. I cliecked the menu and ordered the most expensive dishes.
II Leo agreed to help, the profit he brought would definitely be thousands of times greater.
So, I shouldn‘t be petty.
As soon as I finished orderim. I SAW SOMCOM Duslintar
o
n
C01110 111. It was
Leo.
He was dressed leisurely, and his hair wasstylu casually. But he still looked very landsome. Also, liis left ear was pierced, and there were two carstuds on it. He looked a
bit evil.
Yet it was precisely the reason why others thought of him as a wild and unruly man
When I saw him come in, I quickly stood up and greeted him, “Leo, you are here. Come and have a seat.”
“Tell me, what do you want me to do for you?” asked Leo, sitting beside me.
I took out a document I prepared, which was about some preparations for the launchas well as the new product information of several main brands under the Design Department.
Leo took the documents lazily and looked through them slowly. “These are all your designs?“.
“It‘s the work of our department,” I explained at once.
“Any yours? Show it to me,” Leo said indifferently.
I lowered my head in embarrassment. “My work has not been printed on it yet. I’ve just joined the company and haven‘t come up with anything.”
Leo put the document on the table. “Why are you showing me something designed by others? I‘m not interested.”
“I know. Our company is preparing to hold an early winter launch at the end of this month, and my boss has decided to put me in charge of it. I want a favor from you. Your
company is full of big stars. Can they show up that day to support me? They will get paid!” I quickly got down to business and looked at Leo with pleading eyes.
Leo narrowed his beautiful and deep eyes slightly. “I never worked with Blake‘s company intentionally.”
“I know. Not only have you never worked with our company, but you‘ve also never worked with anyone else,” I nodded and said seriously.
“Do you think I‘ll make an exception and help you this time?” Leo took the glass from the table and slowly watered it.
I was stunned by his words. Indeed, asking for a favor was not an easy thing to do.
“Leo, can you help me this time for the sake of Blake? Please! I really need your artists‘
help,” I quickly softened my tone and begged him.
Leo pursed his lips, looking thoughtful.
“We promise that all the artists participating in this event will be unconditionally sponsored by us.” I made a more enticing offer, hoping Leo would think about it carefully.
“Fine. I‘ll help,” said Leo, smiling.
“Thanks, Leo. With your help, the launch this time is already halfway there,” I smiled.
“The wine here is not bad. How about this? Three glasses of wine and I will help you unconditionally!” Leo suddenly came up with a term that put me on the spot.
I immediately bragged, “I don‘t care if there are strings attached. I can have ten as long as you help me.”
“Ten? Seriously?” asked Leo, looking at me suspiciously.
He didn‘t buy it, since I was so petite.
“Then five! I can settle with five glasses. That‘s for sure!” I could hold my liquor.
The waiter brought us a bottle of good wine and helped us open it. Leo poured me halfa glass. “If you can‘t drink it, take it easy. Walk me through the launch.”
“Sure.” I nodded.
Then, the two of us started drinking and eating. During the meal, I talked to him about some details of the launch.
Leo was in showbiz, so he offered me some great advice, which worked in my favor.
