Not to mention seeing a woman who has nothing to do with work in his office.

Bella Stuart moved her gaze back from the front door, and discovered that Leonardo Bryson was staring at something. She followed his gaze.

To her dismay, he was looking at another woman!

“Hey! Leonardo, don’t look at other women!” Bella pouted, looking quite upset.

Leonardo, however, dismissively turned his head, a relaxed smile scrolling up his face, “You should call me Big Brother Yates.”

“No way!”

“Why?” Leonardo asked casually, taking a sip from the milk tea cup in front of him, and shifting his gaze outside the window.

Actually, he understood everything but for 18 -year-old Bella, he needed time. At her age, what she thought of as affection might just be curiosity or infatuation.

Besides, the age gap between them was simply too wide, acting as a constant barrier in Leonardo’s heart.

His seemingly casual questions left Bella, usually so high-spirited and proud, momentarily speechless.

She wanted to say that she liked him, so she didn’t want to call him her big brother, but she was too embarrassed to actually say it.

Moreover, she firmly believed that it was the male’s role to confess his affection!

“Because… because I have a brother, I don’t need you to be my brother!” Bella came up with an excuse on the spot.

“Is that so? You don’t like me then…” Leonardo turned his head, looking intensely at her.

Before he could finish his sentence, Bella panicked on the spot, “That’s not it! Actually, I…” She did like him, she liked him very much!

But once she tried to say it, she couldn’t.

Seeing her flustered expression, Leonardo Smile gently, ” What I meant to say was, you don’t like me being your brother.”

“Of course I don’t!” Bella pouted unhappily, and just swallowed the strawberry cake she had been eating, as if to mask her affection.

“Cough—Mmm—”

Maybe she was eating too fast, Bella choked within half a second, unable to spit it out or swallow, practically suffocating!

“What’s the matter!?” Seeing her painful expression, Leonardo’s heart tightened, he quickly stood and went to her side, patting her back while urgently calling out, “Waiter! Warm water, please!”

Emily Walker, who was not far away, rushed over with a cup of warm water when she heard his call.

Leonardo took the water and hurried to Bella’s side.

“Are you alright?” Having seen her breathe a sigh of relief after drinking the water, Emily asked politely.

“It’s okay, thanks.” Leonardo looked up at Emily standing beside him and smiled.

At this moment, the door was pushed open and Baron Stuart walked in.

As Bella had chosen a spot near the entrance, Emily instantly noticed Baron

Stuart and greeted professionally, “Welcome—”

Her voice cut off abruptly as she curiously looked at the man who had suddenly appeared.

As soon as Baron Stuart entered, he saw Emily standing there. Without sparing her a glance, he walked straight past her towards Leonardo and Bella..
