Leonardo squinted at Tim with cold eyes while closing the door of Summer's room in a gentle way.
Then he spoke at a slow speed,
"Very well. You are following me." Leonardo looked at Tim with a faint smile as if he were
complimenting Tim.
Tim knew that Leonardo was not praising him.
For Leonardo, it was a sign of anger. However, Tim could feel that instead of being furious, Leonardo
was calm and relaxed. It was obvious that Leonardo was not surprised by Tim's following.
Tim felt guilty. Looking at Leonardo's calm face, he even panicked and broke out into a cold sweat. He
didn't know what to say, so he said in a nervous voice, "Mr. Emerson."
"We'll talk in my room." Leonardo flashed Tim a look, walking slowly towards his room.
Tim wiped the sweat off his forehead and followed behind Leonardo.
When Leonardo asked Summer to leave, Tim was the one who sent the message.
Tim thought that it was only an argument, but what Leonardo had done was weird.
Leonardo treated Summer well. Even if it was a big argument, Leonardo would leave himself rather
than drive Summer away.
Tim was right. After that, Leonardo did not have the slightest intention of getting reconciled with
Summer. Instead, Leonardo went together with Amber.
However, Tim didn’t dare to ask too much about Leonardo's relationships. Tim hadn't thought about it
until Summer came talking to him.
Leonardo had spent most of his time with Tim, and Tim knew everything about Leonardo's schedule.
Leonardo had given him an assignment that he had to fulfill outside the hotel. However, the task was
insignificant and unnecessary. So, he realized that Leonardo was sending him away.
At the elevator door, he decided to turn back. And he didn't expect to see Leonardo entering Summer's
room. Although it was hard to read Leonardo's mind, everyone could see what kind of person he was.
'He was not a person who would be bewitched by beauties or romantically involved with more than one
woman. He entered Summer's room for a sound reason.' After ruling out all the possibilities, the one
left would be the truth. That was--'Leonardo didn't want to break up with Summer.'
'And he didn't want Summer to leave or be cruel to Summer.'
Thinking slowed Tim down. When he felt that Leonardo stopped walking, he raised his head and found
that Leonardo was staring at him with impatience.
Tim stepped up his pace, and entered the room after Leonardo.
Taking a cigarette on the table and lighting it, Leonardo asked Tim, "Did Summer talk to you?"
"Yes." Tim was a little unhappy, 'You were the one who got caught, not me.'
Taking a puff at the cigarette and flicking ash, Leonardo asked in a casual voice, "What did she say?"
"She asked if you were happy with Miss Amber." As Tim spoke, he stole a glance at Leonardo.
Leonardo kept his chin up, puffing smoke from his mouth. Tim couldn't see Leonardo's face clearly
under a cloud of smoke. Tim didn't know what Leonardo was thinking, but he was sure that Leonardo
still loved Summer and he did not fall in love with Amber.
Tim knew what it was like to love someone. He felt that Leonardo was plotting something and had
made up his mind to do it alone.
For so many years, he believed he was deeply trusted by Leonardo. However, Leonardo did not
disclose any information to him this time. If Summer hadn't reminded him that something went wrong,
he would still be in a confused state.
But this time, Leonardo did not tell Tim his plan, nor did he tell Carl. And the way Leonardo behaved
towards Summer was ruthless.
They quieted down, and Leonardo wasn't as angry as Tim had imagined.
After a while, Leonardo let out a short laugh. This laughter didn't sound arrogant or confident. Instead,
it revealed a hint of sadness.
Seeing Leonardo like this, Tim was upset, "Mr. Emerson, what are you hiding from me? You can tell
me. You don't have to go through it on your own. Don't you trust me?"
Beyond Tim's expectation, Leonardo just said one word, "Yes."
Tim was tongue-tied. He tried to recall what he did wrong in the past ten years when he worked for
Leonardo.
"Summer is not easy to fool. If you know the truth, she will find a way to dig it out from you." Something
came to Leonardo's mind, so there was a hint of smile in his eyes when he said the second half of the
sentence.
"Mr. Emerson, I...." Tim was embarrassed.
Leonardo made a sound when Tim was about to defend himself, which reminded Tim that Summer had
once got information out of him. Then, he felt too ashamed to say anything.
Leonardo extinguished the cigarette butt in his hand, "It's fine now."
His efforts had paid off. Summer had accepted the fact that they "broke up". Since Leonardo could fool
the most stubborn person, which was Summer, others would believe that he "did not love" Summer.
"What on earth do you want to do, Mr. Emerson?" Tim asked.
Hearing this, Leonardo said in a gloomy voice and with cold eyes, "Everything's in place and ready to
go."
Summer was awakened by the knocks on the door.
It was evening, and the curtains were not drawn. The room was not dark. There was dim light creeping
through the windows.
Summer's mind went blank for a moment before she recalled what had happened. She was in the hotel
now, and she had fallen asleep after drinking some wine.
Sitting up on the bed and glancing at the bottle on the floor, she was a little puzzled, 'I was drinking on
the floor? Then why was I lying in bed?'
'Did I go back to bed after getting drunk?'
The knocks became increasingly urgent, so Summer had to stop thinking and got up to open the door.
And she also turned on the light in the room.
As soon as she opened the door, she saw Eliza's anxious face.
Seeing Summer, Eliza said right away, "I called you countless times and no one answered. What's
happened?"
"I drank some wine and fell asleep, so I didn't hear you." Summer smiled apologetically and opened the
door wider to let Eliza in.
Eliza also smelled the wine on Summer. She frowned and was about to scold Summer. Then, she
remembered that Summer had run into Leonardo this morning. Believing that Summer drank the wine
because she was in a bad mood, Eliza didn't say anything harsh.
