Chapter 1138 - 1138 Be My Boyfriend

1138 Be My Boyfriend

While Lucas and Flynn were speaking, Leila walked over again and said with a smile on her face, “I’ve found one! Actually, I’ve already found all twenty-three of them!”

“What?!” Both of them were very surprised.

It wouldn’t be too surprising if she had only found one bodyguard. After all, with her strong observation skills, it wouldn’t be too hard for her to find a hiding bodyguard.

But it was extremely shocking that she managed to find 23 people within such a short period of time!

Facing Lucas and Flynn’s shocked expressions, Leila smiled proudly and explained, “Since they were hired to protect my grandmother, the bodyguards have to stay near her, so I can simply rule out the farther places on the site.

“As for the people near her, the three wearing engineering supervisor clothes over there are particularly muscular, and there are obvious calluses on their fingers and knuckles. Their standing posture is also different from others. They’re standing much more upright, so they look like people skilled in martial arts.

“Also, although the two people dressed as workers sitting over there look like ordinary workers, and they’ve also been moving bricks, they look much more relaxed than the others. This shows that they’re much stronger than ordinary people.

“Their eyes are also still bright, and they don’t look as tired as the other workers. From time to time, they also observe my grandmother’s surroundings, so I’m sure that they’re bodyguards secretly protecting my grandmother.

“And over there…”

Leila then pointed at several other places and pointed out 23 people in total, as well as their characteristics and her suspicions, making Lucas shocked.

Seeing how stunned Lucas was, Leila raised her head proudly and said, “I’m right, aren’t I?”

Lucas took his hat off to her.

All 23 people Leila had identified were indeed the bodyguards he had arranged to protect Gemma at the construction site.

Lucas conceded his defeat. Since Leila had already guessed correctly, he naturally nodded and asked, “Alright, what request do you have? I’ll agree as long as it’s within my means.”

Leila glanced at Flynn next to him and didn’t say anything.

But Flynn was an extremely smart person. As soon as he saw Leila’s glance, he knew that she wanted to speak to Lucas alone.

Flynn smiled bitterly and shook his head. “Lucas, I’ll go over there to take a look at the situation.”

Lucas nodded. “Okay, go ahead.”

After Flynn left, Lucas looked at Leila helplessly and asked, “Okay, can you tell me now?”

Leila raised her head proudly and said, “I want you to be my boyfriend!”

“Huh?” Even though Lucas was usually able to keep composed, he was still taken aback by what she said. Leila actually wants me to be her boyfriend? Is she joking?

He had only met Leila twice and exchanged a few words with her. Could she have taken a fancy to him?

Besides, even if she really liked him, she… didn’t have to be so direct.

Lucas coughed twice in embarrassment. “Uh, Leila, I’m already married, and I love my wife very much. Moreover, we already have a five-year-old daughter. It’s impossible between us, so you’d better change your request.”

Leila shot Lucas a blank look, puffed up her cheeks, and said angrily, “What are you talking about? I mean, I want you to pretend to be my boyfriend! I don’t like you!

“I’m going to a party with my roommates today. They’re dragging me along, and they’re all going with their boyfriends, so I’m giving you the opportunity to be my boyfriend for a day. Do you get it?

“You’re already so old. How could I possibly like you? You must be dreaming!”

Hearing this and finding out what was going on, Lucas felt speechless.

Leila was clearly the one who had made an exaggerated request and startled Lucas, causing him to get the wrong idea. Now, she even called him old and said that he was dreaming. She was really…

Actually, Lucas was only 28 years old this year, far from being an old man.

Leila said smilingly, “So, how about it? You just agreed to grant me any request. You’re not a despicable villain who goes back on his word, are you?”

Since Leila had already said this, Lucas naturally couldn’t act like a despicable villain. He could only sigh and agree.

“Hey, why do you look so forced? I can tell you that it’s your luck to be able to be my boyfriend today because this is a chance that others don’t get. Do you understand?” Leila said proudly.

“Okay, I got it,” Lucas said helplessly.

Leila was just a young girl still attending college and also Gemma’s granddaughter. He was several years older than her, so he didn’t see the need to quibble with her.

“It’s good that you know. Let’s go now!” Leila held her head proudly and commanded him like she was a princess.

Lucas naturally could only agree. Fortunately, there was nothing else he had to do at the office today, so he decided to do Leila a favor.

When she walked to Lucas’s Land Rover, Leila took a sweeping glance at it.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

“Land Rover Range Rover, V8 S/C SVAutobiography night sports model. It should cost around two hundred and fifty grand. It has a 5.0T engine with a maximum horsepower of 565, a maximum torque of 700nm, and a maximum speed of 250 kilometers per hour. It can go from 1-100 km/h in 5.4 seconds and has an 8-speed manual transmission. It’s also extremely low-profile. I couldn’t tell that you had such great taste in cars.”

Leila circled around Lucas’s car and immediately recognized the model of Lucas’s Land Rover. She even listed its specifications.

This wasn’t all. Leila continued, “But your car isn’t an ordinary model. Has it been specially modified? All the glass is bulletproof and explosion-proof, and the body, chassis, and tires have also been modified. I’m guessing the engine is upgraded too, right?

“In that case, the value of your car is at least 2 million dollars, maybe even 3 million. Tsk, you’re really an evil capitalist.”

Hearing this, even Lucas admired her.

He didn’t expect Leila to be so knowledgeable in cars. As expected of someone with a high IQ, she got most of the specs of his car right after taking a quick glance.
