Dana feels like her knees become weak, hearing how lovely he calls her name. "Ye-Yes..."
She tried hard to hide her feelings from him. She didn’t want Leo to know what was on her mind at that moment. She liked him but never dared say it, afraid he would fire her.
"Perfect!" Leo smiled when he saw that Dana was no longer tense but looked as calm as usual. "Dana, if you’re uncomfortable answering, you don’t need to. Why are your parents suddenly asking you to come back?"
Leo was curious to know what happened in her family.
Dana clenched her fists tightly. She felt too embarrassed to mention the matter. But, seeing his curious gaze, her mouth betrayed her.
"My father called. He said my mother was hospitalized, but when I asked my little brother, he said… no. Mom is fine. But—" she pauses, lowering her head, unable to meet his gaze.
"But what!?" Leo couldn’t help but ask when he saw her seem reluctant to continue.
"My father actually called me home to let me meet my future husband. I mean, my father set me up for an arranged marriage—" she said, unable to continue, feeling embarrassed to tell him this.
Leo was surprised to hear that but immediately adjusted his surprise with a calm expression. He said, "I see. Alright, you can go now. If you need my help, don’t hesitate to contact me. I will try my best to help..."
"Thank you very much, Leo. I appreciate it." Dana couldn’t stay there any longer; she felt embarrassed and hurt because Leo wasn’t angry when he heard about her forced marriage. She excused herself and left in a hurry.
Several seconds passed since Dana closed the door. However, Leo had not yet moved from his seat. His eyes still stared at the tightly shut door, and he felt something that he had never felt when it came to anything Dana said.
"Wait…Why do I suddenly feel annoyed? Is it about what Dana just said? I get annoyed hearing she was engaged!?"
The corners of his lips lifted slightly into a sour smile, hearing his own absurd-sounding thoughts.
"Damn! How could she stir my heart like this? Impossible!"
Leo laughed as he stood up and headed to his desk to finish his work.
He started preparing some documents to bring to the intense meeting to discuss matters regarding Stellar Entertainment with their legal department and the newly appointed CEO of Stellar Entertainment.
News about Stellar Entertainment is no longer trending on the internet. It has been replaced by news about Laura Kiels, which is now in the top ten on almost all news channels.
A famous gossip website, legitfact.com, has just released news about Laura Kiels’s terrible and immature attitude in an exclusive nightclub. Also, a series of photos and videos of her obviously angry and very condescending at a server in a high-class restaurant have made Laura Kiels the target of A-Netz. 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮
What was most surprising was how quickly the police handled this case. In just a few days, several articles circulated reporting that several buzzers, who had slandered and published multiple hoaxes about Stellar Entertainment, had begun to be arrested.
The arrest news worried some A-Netz. They are now more careful about sharing hoax news and slander comments regarding Stellar Entertainment.
