“How should we deal with Miss Cohen then?” she asked in a low voice.
Normally, Leonel would have felt the need to handle Anika by himself since she had caused him so much trouble. But now, he really had no time to deal with her because of all the chaos in the company.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtMoreover, he didn't want to think about the scandal, especially not at ‘this moment.
With a gloomy look on his face, he leaned his head on one hand and said in a barely audible voice, “From now on, | don't want to hear anything about that woman.” Noreen immediately knew that Leonel was going to ban Anika from any public activity.
“Understood, sir” She nodded obediently.
Then they began to discuss about other issues. When they finally arrived at the company, Leonel immediately called for an emergency meeting. The meeting lasted for a long time, and when it finally ended, the time was already 10 p.m.
As Leonel left the conference room, Noreen informed him, “Miss Cohen has been calling your phone. She's called about a dozen times already, insisting on seeing you in person.” Leonel came to a halt when he heard this.
He knew that Noreen was mocking Anika. The mockery was clear in her tone. So he said, “You know what? You don't need to tell me about it if
she calls me again.” A minute later, they reached Leonel’s office which was on the top floor of the building.
As soon as they stepped into the office, Leonel saw someone waiting for him. It was no one other than Marcus.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmMarcus was in his thirties, and he looked mature and tough, just like Waylen when he was younger. He had been seated cross-legged on the sofa, waiting patiently. But when he saw Leonel come in, he gently put his legs down.
“I would like to have a word with you, Leonel. Are you free now?” he asked.
Noreen could tell that Marcus was likely here to cause trouble, and she couldn't help but turn to look at Leonel to see if he had any instructions for her. But Leonel only handed her the document that was in his hand before replying to Marcus. “Sure, | am.” Half an hour later, Marcus and Leonel were lying beside each other on the floor of the VIP lounge.
Apparently, Marcus had not come to talk to Leonel like he claimed.
Instead, he came to give him a good beating! Gasping for breath, he turned to look at Leonel whom he used to admire so much when they were still kids, and sneered. “Since you left my sister and brought that girlfriend back from abroad years back, | knew you were an ungrateful bastard! My father and Alexis may be too nice to say it to your face, but 'm not them. | don't give a shit about you!” “So listen up! After you and Alexis get divorced, you'll become nobody
to us. Don't ever come to my parents’ house again!” “Or maybe you can go live with that woman and her parents!” “We don't give a f@ck! Since you've dared to cheat on your wife with another woman, own up to it! Or you're just nothing but a coward!” While he said all these, Leonel was doubled over in pain.
