There was a small glint in his eyes, mirrored in Alexisâ gaze.
They all stayed silent until Vanessa couldnât take it anymore.
âAlexis! What do you think youâre doing? We were in the middle of signing an important contract!â
Alexis paid no mind to her.
She let go of Leonelâs hand and tossed the contract back onto the desk.
Leonelâs heart raced rapidly.
His hands slightly trembled.
âAlexis⦠are you certain?â
Alexis raised her head a bit.
âYou bastard, you should be happy.
Youâve won!â
She said that and walked out of the room.
Once she was out the door, tears rolled down her cheeks.
She actually did it.
She compromised with Leonel.

âMr.

Youâre not going to sign it because you donât want to?!â

Iâm not signing it!â
âYou bastard!â Vanessa cursed.

Leonel stared at them calmly.
âI grew up in the Fowler family.
You really shouldnât put that much trust on me.

With that, he walked out.
Alexis sat quietly in his car.
The proud woman she was in there was now gone.
She curled up in the passenger seat and got lost in her thoughts.
Leonel was happy, but he was still being careful.
He got into the car and gently patted her head.
âWhatâs on your mind?â
Alexis didnât move away from his touch.
âWhat exactly would you have done if I didnât show up?â
A few seconds of silence passed.
âI would have done whatever you had in mind.
â
Alexis was still quiet.
