"Yes! Bad things happened at the office—"

Leo’s response was enough to make Bella’s heart race.

"What are you trying to say, Leo?" Bella couldn’t help but raise her voice. She was worried and unhappy. Leo had succeeded in making her curious, but he hadn’t yet explained what happened.

"Arabella Donovan, you are the one who caused it. Why are you asking me again?"

It was rare for Leo to call her by her full name unless he was upset or joking around. But now she could tell he was serious.

"I still don’t understand. What are you trying to say? Speak frankly," Bella said helplessly after trying to think for a few more seconds but couldn’t find the reason. "Can you just tell me? My mind feels hazy because I ate too much, and now I’m feeling drowsy."

Bella stifled a laugh when she heard Leo laugh at the other end. She succeeded in making him less angry.

Finally, Leo asked in his solemn tone, "Why did you step down from your position without talking to me?"

"Ah..." That’s the only sound that could escape from her lips. She believed Jack had already told him about her plan to step down from her CEO position.

"Now you remember, huh?" Leo paused to take a deep, long sigh before continuing. "Bella, you know why I’m here, right? To help you. Because of you, I’m willing to relocate to this country. But how could I continue working here if you stepped down from the company? I won’t assist and advise any other person, only you...because I have always trusted your judgment and only yours."

"I’m sorry. I plan to tell you when we meet. I had no idea Jack told you sooner."

"I will resign, too, Bella. I cannot work for anyone except you or Jack," Leo said firmly. He would rather return to New York than stay in this place to support someone he didn’t know.

Bella laughed upon hearing his refusal. She knew that Leo was only disappointed with this sudden change. It seemed that Jack hadn’t given him a clear explanation about Quantum Capital’s future.

"Leo, did Jack tell you about the plan? Who will replace me and your future in the company?" Bella asked. She starts to vent her sarcasm to Jack to confuse and anger Leo.

"Leo, what plan?" Leo asked, clearly confused.

"My goodness, Leo Smith, did you forget you are now dating Dana?" Bella didn’t rush to answer him. She needed to remind him again about what he had told her in the past; he wanted to stay in this country for good and build his own family with Dana.

Of course, Leo didn’t answer her; he just cleared his throat to respond to her words.

"My friend, I know you are angry because I stepped down. But you should also understand I’m carrying two babies in me. And in the first place, I never wanted to take over the company, you know that, right?"

Leo did not respond, which caused Bella to smile. She continued, "When I talk to Tristan about it, he supports my decision, as does Jack."

"I know, Bella... I know... I just...I don’t want to work for people I don’t know. And if I return to New York, I will bring Dana with me." Leo said in his deep tone. 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

"Well, Leo, if you are concerned about my replacement, you don’t have to be. Harper will take over my position; she will take over the company."

"WHAT? Harper? Why did she come to this country?" Leo was shocked to hear that.

"Yeah, she is the one who will replace me. If I’m not mistaken, she will come in a few next days because she was never absent from Dax’s birthday party—"
