Leigh, if the negotiation works out, just share a little bit with me.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Leigh holds the cigarette in his mouth and lights it. As he puts away the lighter, he slaps Chace on the forehead and says, &#8220;I know. I won&#8217;t forget to make it up for you.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Chace chuckles, &#8220;Fantastic! I know you are a generous man!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>After arriving, Chace leads Leigh into the private room.<\/p>\n<p>This private room is very big, and the lights are dim. They can see several men sitting on the sofa discussing something.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Dad.&#8221; Chace greets one of the men and points at Leigh. &#8220;This is Leigh, you should know him!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Dereon looks at Leigh and smiles. &#8220;Of course I know the young and famous Mr. Leigh.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Thank you. I&#8217;m still young, and have a lot to learn from you.&#8221; Leigh says humbly, &#8220;I&#8217;ve just taken over the Lewis Group, and I don&#8217;t have many resources. I hear from Chace that you are here for business, so I want your advice.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Dereon pretends to be angry and says, &#8220;What advice? You are young and promising and are a good friend of my son. So, we are friends as well. And I&#8217;ve been looking forward to working with the Lewis Group for a long time!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Leigh smiles and says, &#8220;As long as you think so, we can cooperate on anything.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>After chatting for a while, Leigh sits down.<\/p>\n<p>Dereon introduces the other men on the sofa to Leigh.<\/p>\n<p>Leigh hears their names, and coincidently, they are the five people who have not been eliminated on Jessie&#8217;s memorandum.<\/p>\n<p>Leigh shakes hands with them one by one with a catering smile on his face. However, he thinks to himself. &#8216;I am so lucky today. I meet the five people in one time and in one room.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>Those men just cotton to Derek and they don&#8217;t like Leigh. But since Leigh has taken over the Lewis Group, they show him some respect during the conversation.<\/p>\n<p>They talked about business while drinking for more than two hours and the atmosphere was harmonious.<\/p>\n<p>Leigh says that he needs to get some air and he leaves for the bathroom outside.<\/p>\n<p>As soon as he leaves the room, he walks quicker. After entering the bathroom, he dials a number.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Mr. Leigh, how can I help?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Where are you?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;What else can I do except eating and sleeping for night? I am at my girlfriend&#8217;s place.&#8221; Kay is puzzled. &#8220;Does Mr. Leigh have a task for me?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Leigh lights a cigarette and exhales. &#8220;I have something personal for you to take care of,&#8221; he says.<\/p>\n<p>&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>After the call, Leigh returns to the private room.<\/p>\n<p>Another hour passed. They&#8217;ve done drinking the talking about business and they stand up to leave. Leigh follows them out.<\/p>\n<p>There are two cars parked on the roadside. Apparently, they are there for president of HS Group.<\/p>\n<p>Taking notice of which car Mr. Clay is heading for, Leigh goes one step ahead and opens the door for him, &#8220;Mr. Clay, I&#8217;ve learned so much from the conversation with you and I hope that I can have the chance to talk to you again.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Okay! Your father and I are friends, and I will have you on the list when there is a chance to work together!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Leigh smiles and says, &#8220;Thank you.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>After Mr. Clay boards the car, Leigh closes the car door. He stands tall and watches the two cars leaving the clubhouse one after another with gloomy eyes.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Leigh, why do you freeze?&#8221; Chace walks over and puts one hand on his shoulder. &#8220;You are impressive, you fit in so quickly. You&#8217;ll definitely win a lot of contracts from them in the future!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Leigh flicks the cigarette and stares at the empty road while snorting in his heart.<\/p>\n<p>The servant does so.<\/p>\n<p>After the sofa is moved over, Jessie lets him sit on it and stuffs the pot of sunflowers that was sent here in the morning into his arms.<\/p>\n<p>The servant is shocked and wants to get up.<\/p>\n<p>Jessie presses down on his shoulder and makes him sit back. &#8220;Anyway, you are going to watch me for the day, how about you modeling for me? Sit here and hold the pot. Don&#8217;t move!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Under Jessie&#8217;s orders, the servant holds the pot and sits there, not daring to move.<\/p>\n<p>Jessie sizes the man up and sketches on with her brush on the drawing board.<\/p>\n<p>However, when she looks at the man again, he seems to automatically change into Leigh&#8217;s face.<\/p>\n<p>He is not sitting there but leisurely lying on it with a bouquet of sunflowers in his arms and smiling at her. &#8220;Baby, drawing like this is so boring. How about I take off my clothes and you draw my nude?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The brush in Jessie&#8217;s hand is still moving, but her soul has left her body.<\/p>\n<p>When she looks at the drawing board, she finds that it is a man lying on the sofa.<\/p>\n<p>He is in white clothes and black trousers with sunflowers in his arms. But his outline has not been finished yet.<\/p>\n<p>Jessie rubs herself between the eyes.<\/p>\n<p>She is just painting a random servant, but why the man on the drawing board becomes Leigh as she progresses?<\/p>\n<p>The servant is still sitting upright on the sofa, not daring to move. Seeing that Jessie stops, he asks, &#8220;Miss Jessie, why don&#8217;t you draw? Are you done?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;No, it looks bad and I need to redraw it.&#8221; Jessie says.<\/p>\n<p>She wants to tear off the unfinished painting, so she pauses for a moment, then takes it down together with the drawing board and puts it away. She puts up another board.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-2317","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/nirvanaharapan.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/2317","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/nirvanaharapan.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/nirvanaharapan.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/chapter"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/nirvanaharapan.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2317"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
