"Yes! Bad things happened at the office—"

Leo’s response was enough to make Be’s heart race.

"What are you trying to say, Leo?" Be couldn’t help but raise her voice. She was worried and unhappy. Leo had seeded in making her curious, but he hadn’t yet exined what happened.

"Arabe Donovan, you are the one who caused it. Why are you asking me again?"

It was rare for Leo to call her by her full name unless he was upset or joking around. But now she could tell he was serious.

"I still don’t understand. What are you trying to say? Speak frankly," Be said helplessly after trying to think for a few more seconds but couldn’t find the reason. "Can you just tell me? My mind feels hazy because I ate too much, and now I’m feeling drowsy."

Be stifled augh when she heard Leough at the other end. She seeded in making him less angry.

Finally, Leo asked in his solemn tone, "Why did you step down from your position without talking to me?"

"Ah..." That’s the only sound that could escape from her lips. She believed Jack had already told him about her n to step down from her CEO position.

"Now you remember, huh?" Leo paused to take a deep, long sigh before continuing. "Be, you know why I’m here, right? To help you. Because of you, I’m willing to relocate to this country. But how could I continue working here if you stepped down from thepany? I won’t assist and advise any other person, only you...because I have always trusted your judgment and only yours."

"I’m sorry. I n to tell you when we meet. I had no idea Jack told you sooner."

"I will resign, too, Be. I cannot work for anyone except you or Jack," Leo said firmly. He would rather return to New York than stay in this ce to support someone he didn’t know.

Beughed upon hearing his refusal. She knew that Leo was only disappointed with this sudden change. It seemed that Jack hadn’t given him a clear exnation about Quantum Capital’s future.

"Leo, did Jack tell you about the n? Who will rece me and your future in thepany?" Be asked. She starts to vent her sarcasm to Jack to confuse and anger Leo.

"Leo, what n?" Leo asked, clearly confused.

"My goodness, Leo Smith, did you forget you are now dating Dana?" Be didn’t rush to answer him. She needed to remind him again about what he had told her in the past; he wanted to stay in this country for good and build his own family with Dana.

Of course, Leo didn’t answer her; he just cleared his throat to respond to her words.

"My friend, I know you are angry because I stepped down. But you should also understand I’m carrying two babies in me. And in the first ce, I never wanted to take over thepany, you know that, right?"

Leo did not respond, which caused Be to smile. She continued, "When I talk to Tristan about it, he supports my decision, as does Jack."

"I know, Be... I know... I just...I don’t want to work for people I don’t know. And if I return to New York, I will bring Dana with me." Leo said in his deep tone.

"Well, Leo, if you are concerned about my recement, you don’t have to be. Harper will take over my position; she will take over thepany."

"WHAT? Harper? Why did shee to this country?" Leo was shocked to hear that.

"Yeah, she is the one who will rece me. If I’m not mistaken, she wille in a few next days because she was never absent from Dax’s birthday party—"

"Wait, wait," Leo interrupted. "Why is she willing to move here?" Leo asked suspiciously.

"Heaven! Leo Smith! Are you dumb with love, or are you now suffering from amnesia?" Be couldn’t help butugh at how clueless Leo was. "How could you forget about it?"

"What?"

"I believe you know Harper is pursuing Sean, right!?"

"Ah—" A silence hung in the air. Leo was shocked to hear that Be knew about Harper’s big secret. How could she know?

"Be, how do you know about it? Did Stefan tell you?" Leo asked. He remembered he never slipped up and talked about it to Be. Only Stefan could betray Harper.

Be really wants to scold him because he and the others kept this a secret from her. If only Sean hadn’t been honest with her, maybe she wouldn’t know this good news.

"Sean told me everything. He was honest with me, saying he wanted to move on and give Harper a chance. So, yeah, I know about them—" Be paused momentarily when she remembered something.

Leo’s happyugh was heard from the other end.

"I didn’t expect that cold Sean Spencer to finally move on from you, Be. And I’m truly happy for Harper. Damn, she might faint if she knows..."

"Right, Leo, don’t tell Harper anything about Sean wanting to give her a chance. Let’s just wait and see what happens to them. We can only pray their rtionship will end happily." She warned him.

"I promise you! I’m not the type of guy who likes to gossip around. That’s why Harper’s secret is safe with me," Leo said proudly.

Be chuckled.

"You’re going to stay now. You won’t return to New York?"

"Hahaha, of course! Why should I resign?"

Be was speechless. His tone sounded utterly different from Leo’s, whom she had talked with earlier. This time, there was no trace of anger in his tone.

"Oh, Leo, I suggest Jack promote you to be the COO of Quantum Capital. So you don’t have to be Harper’s assistant..."

Be continued to exin thepany’s n for next year.

At the same time, at Fort City International Airport.

Harper Reed eagerly pulled her suitcase behind her.

Her heart raced with excitement at the thought of meeting Sean, who wasing to pick her up.

She couldn’t wait to meet him!
