Chapter 1018

“Cynthia, I remember that I never got to finish my massage for you. I owe you a massage. Are you tired now? Do you feel like having a massage?” He smiled endearingly as he switched to a different tactic.

“You still remember? I guess you’re not that horrible after all!” Cynthia scoffed and beamed at him.

It was not that Leon fawned over her that made her happy, but the fact that he remembered the details of the time they spent together. Though it was only a massage, she was over the moon that he cared enough to remember.

“Of course! Cynthia, why don’t you lay down? I’ll give you a massage!” Leon said enthusiastically, knowing that he used the correct tactic and that it would only take him some time to cheer Cynthia up.

Cynthia sat on her leather chair and lifted her legs wrapped in black stockings and placed them on Leon’s lap to enjoy his massage.

Back when Leon massaged her, they were merely friends so he held back; however, since they were more than friends after everything that happened, he no longer needed to watch where he touched.

Sometime later, Cynthia felt as though all the exhaustion in her body left and the last bit of anger and frustration within faded as well.

“Alright. Seeing how much effort you are putting in, I’ll get you the Panax!” Cynthia withdrew her legs and said.

“Really? That’s great!” Overjoyed, the burden on Leon’s shoulders finally dropped.

“Don’t be too excited just yet! I can give you the Panax, but you have to promise that you’ll come by to see me all the time!” Cynthia pouted.

“Yeah. Of course,” He nodded.

It was not an unreasonable request and even though Cynthia was merely his friend, he would not refuse such a request.

“Alright!” She beamed.

Cynthia knew that the chances of her winning against Iris or succeeding in replacing Iris were slim, but she did not care. She was a daring woman and loved Leon with all her heart, so she was content as long as she could be by his side forever.

Nothing else would matter.

Cynthia headed back to the Shears‘ warehouse and handed the Panax to Leon.

Meanwhile, inside Albert’s room in the Dragonbay Villas.

Gilbert slowly began to grow impatient since Leon was gone for far too long.

“Why hasn’t Leon come back? Is he just stalling outside because he can’t get the Panax?” Gilbert said.

“No!” Iris shook her head. Since she knew that Leon and Cynthia made up, she was confident that Leon would succeed.

“Why not? It’s been over three hours. He should be back by now if he has it! I think he might have crossed the Shears and is laying on the streets by now, heavily beaten!” Gilbert sneered.

“But,” Iris’s heart sank at the thought and began to worry.

She was not worried for Leon’s safety. Knowing how much Cynthia cared for Leon, Cynthia would definitely protect Leon from the Shears.
