CEO's Revengeful Queen

Chapter 60: His Last Act of Respect Towards Her

Leo had been exhausted recently. His mother's illness was getting worse, and he needed 200,000

dollars for her medical fees. Although he had been working hard every day, there was no way for him to

raise that amount of money.

Although he was physically and mentally exhausted, he was actually delighted when Lulu took the

initiative to ask him out.

After sitting down, he apologized. "Lulu, I have not had the time to meet you these days because of

family issues. Don't be angry..."

"No time to meet Lulu, but you have time to be intimate with that ugly freak, Annetta?" Nana interrupted

him sarcastically.

Lulu signalled Nana to stop talking. She went straight to the point, "Leo, I know you need money now.

Here are 10,000 dollars for you."

Nana saw Lulu take out the stack of cash that Ben had just given to them in the morning and

immediately become anxious. "Lulu! Why are you giving money to this pauper?!"

Lulu ignored her and turned to Leo, saying, "I'm hoping you won't have anything to do with Annetta. I

don't want you to be so depraved that you get together with any girl that crosses your path, even if we

aren't together."

Leo looked at the stack of cash silently and asked, "Where did you get so much money?"

Nana eagerly said, "My sister has a very rich boyfriend, of course! Can't you see she's now wearing

branded clothing and carrying branded bags? Do you think you'll be able to get all of these things for

her if she's with you?"

It was only then that Leo noticed what Lulu was wearing. Leo loved Lulu for who she was. Even if Lulu

wore sackcloth, he would still think that she was beautiful.

Leo's eyes were downcast when he heard Nana say that.

Lulu noticed the emotions in his eyes. She said, "Take the money. Since we grew up together, as long

as you don't have anything to do with Annetta, I will do my best to help you when you need money in

the future. After all, your mom is nice to me."

Leo asked in a low voice, "This is your reason for asking me out?"

"That's right."

"I see." Leo stood up, turned around and was about to leave.

Lulu stopped him and said, "Leo, I know you and Annetta are dating to annoy me. But you are wrong. I

don't love you, so I won't get mad no matter what you do. But if you draw a clear line between you and

Annetta, we can still be friends!"

Leo didn't answer Lulu. He just waited for her to finish before leaving.

That was his final act of respect towards her.

Nana looked at his back and said with disdain, "Poor wretch, don't pretend to be noble!"

It was raining when Leo walked out of the restaurant. He looked at the overcast sky and walked into the

rain. Lifting his head towards the sky. He just let the raindrops wet his face ro clear his mind.

After a long time, he took out his cell phone and made a call.

The other side quickly picked it up. "Leo?"

"I can sign the contract, but I have one condition." Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

"Go ahead."

"I want 200,000 dollars of wages in advance, and I can extend the contract to ten years. During this

time, I will work at the company without complaint."

"Okay." Leo was surprised that Annetta agreed so quickly. "The contract will be in effect for a period of

five years. I hope you recognise October Entertainment's sincerity. As long as we work well together

during our contract term, you will undoubtedly choose us in the future."

"... Okay."

If Leo had been suspicious of Annetta before, now all he felt was gratitude.

Annetta had readily agreed because she knew that Leo needed the 200,000 dollars for his mother's

medical fees. She also knew that Leo would be able to return her investment in him tenfold.
