Leah looked up at Han surprised.
She had always been the humble one and apologizing.
However, Han actually stopped her this time.
She also was reminded about the time when Han apologized to Shawn for her sake.
He was willing to apologize on her behalf but forbid her to apologize to somebody else.
Yves stared daggers at Han. She felt disgusted that an attractive man like Han would protect Leah.
Yves clinged onto Roman’s arm and complained, “Look at them, Roman! They’re teaming up to bully
me!”
“Yves, if you insist on throwing a tantrum, I’ll have to send you back!” Roman scolded Yves, “This man
here is the president of the Howard Group. He’s here to discuss a deal with me. So apologize to Mr
Howard now!”
Yves’ eyes widened up upon listening to Roman’s words.
The Howard Group? You mean, the one and only Howard Group of Pasteria?
Yves’ face turned pale in an instant.
Although she had not seen Han in person, she already knew about his merciless ways when it came
down to business.
She knew this was someone she had to avoid being on the wrong side.
Yves bit her lips and apologized unwillingly, “I’m sorry, Mr Howard. I was wrong.”
Han didn’t bother to take a glance at her.
He tilted his head towards Leah and ordered, “Apologize to her.”
Yves’ face twitched as she gripped her hands tightly. She looked at Roman with red teary eyes.
Roman nodded at her.
They could not afford to be on Han’s bad side. If he was displeased in any way, the Walker family

Tears started to build up in Yves’ eyes. She could not understand why Roman, who would always
protect her, was not on her side this time.
She forced her apology out and mumbled, “I-I’m sorry, Ms White.”
Leah wasn’t someone who would make things difficult for others and seeing that she had apologized,
she decided to forgive her.
Once Yves was done apologizing, she hurriedly ran away. Meanwhile, Han and Leah followed Roman
into the conference room.
They spent the entire afternoon negotiating and managed to sign the deal with R. W. Co.
As they came to the end of their meeting, Han muttered out, “There is one more condition I would like
to add.”
Since the meeting had been pleasant and the proposal Han gave was incredibly attractive, Roman had
no reason to refuse, “Of course, Mr Howard.”
Han knocked on the meeting table for a moment and said, “Any jewelry that is designed by her,
whether it’s imported or exported, your company is to give her 20% of the profit.”
He lifted his chin and pointed to Leah as he explained.
Leah was taken aback by his condition.
Her jewelry had been given a sky-high price in accordance with recent jewelry prices. So even if it was
a small pendant, it would have cost millions of dollars, of which the profit was equally attractive.
20% of the profit was obviously not a small number.
This deal would not have worked out if it was someone else doing the negotiations.
Since it was Han who stated this condition, Roman could only smile and agree, “Of course, that’s not a
problem.”
Compared to the Howard Group’s interest and profit, giving away 20% of the profit was insignificant to
him.
However, Roman did not expect Han to take the initiative to ask for something.
It was clear that this woman was important to him.
Roman stared at Leah thoughtfully.
As the three of them walked out of the room, Roman proposed to Han and Leah, “I will be hosting a
banquet later on. Won’t you both join us?”
It was typical for both parties to have a meal together once a deal had been striked.
Leah nodded, but Han refused, “No, thank you. We still have things to attend to.”
Leah glanced at him confusingly, as she did not recall having any events after the meeting.
When Roman heard it, he smiled and said, “Well, remember to see the ocean while you’re in Dawnville
then. The ocean looks best at 9 to 2 in the evening.”
Leah then remembered vaguely that visiting Ocean View was also in Han’s schedule. She nodded in
response, “We will, thank you.”
As they walked out of the office, Roman asked again, “Where will you be going next, Mr Howard?
Would you like me to fetch you there?”
“No need,” Han immediately refused and they bid farewell to Roman.
After Roman left, Leah then asked, “There’s nothing on your schedule after the meeting. What were
you planning to do?”
“I booked a table for us at a restaurant.” Han looked down at her, his face had become relaxed and
calm.
Leah felt bewildered as she was not informed about the arrangement.
However, Han was someone who would do something as he pleases. It was only natural for her to not
be informed.
Han stopped a cab and dragged Leah with him into the car, “Bring us to Ocean View,” he told the driver
and Leah was taken by surprise.
The cab soon arrived at Ocean View and the two of them got off the cab. Leah looked around and
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmrealized the huge crowd at the seaside. Everyone was wearing their swimsuits and playing on the
beach, seemingly relieved of stress.
The sight of the seaside was relaxing for Leah.
When she noticed Han and herself were the only ones wearing formal attire, she chuckled, “Mr
Howard, it seems like we’re quite hasty with this trip. Is our attire really suitable for visiting Ocean
View?”
Han glanced at her and replied, “It’s fine, we’re here for a meal.”
Once he finished talking, he took the lead and walked down.
There was a road built next to the beach, and mountains were right next to the road too. There was a
restaurant built halfway up the mountain, and there was a large French window on the side that was
facing the sea.
So if one was to eat here, they could also have a nice view at the sea.
It was already seven o’clock in the evening. It was two hours away from seeing the famous scenery of
Ocean View, which was when faint blue lights would emit from the ocean as the tide rises. It should
happen once they were done with their meal.
The both of them entered the restaurant and Han had already made a reservation. It was close to the
floor-to-ceiling window, which was an ideal spot.
“Isn’t it hard to get a reservation here?” Leah whispered as they sat down.
Han passed her the menu without answering.
He did not want Leah to know that he made the reservation five days in advance.
Leah then quickly ordered a few dishes.
As they were waiting for the dishes, a waiter suddenly walked towards Leah with a violin.
“Congratulations! You have been chosen as our lucky customer of the day! You can get your meal for
free as long as you play the violin on our center stage!” The waiter announced happily.
