Billionaire’s Mistress

Leanna’s POV

I have been sitting on the sofa in the lounge for less than five minutes, and more than ten people have come to accost me.

I was wondering if I should go to find Eugene. At least he’s my master and no one dares to approach me.

But as soon as I got up, another man came over with a glass of wine.

“Hello, miss.”

I took a look at him and didn’t say anything. I just nodded as a greeting.

“A person? This is my name card. I am…”

When HE was about to introduce, a hand reached out from behind me. When I was in a daze, the hand took the business card.

When I turned around, I saw Otis standing behind m reading the business card seriously, “assistant?”

When he uttered the last two words, the man’s face turned a little red.

“Sorry to bother you.” After taking the business card back from Otis, the man bowed to me to apologize, turned around and left.

Seeing that the man fled in embarrassment, I slowly turned my eyes back to the Otis and found that he was also looking at me.

“Thank you.” I turned to look at the floor in front of me and said softly. Then I lifted the hemline of my dress and was about to look for Eugene.

“Leanna.” Suddenly, Otis grabbed my arm and called my name.

I frowned slightly and turned around, looking straight at his big hand holding my arm.

He immediately loosened his grip and looked at me with a gleam in his eyes. “Can I talk to you?”

“Talk about what?” I don’t think I need to talk to him about anything else.

“It was my fault last time. I shouldn’t have slapped you. After I went back, I reflected for a long time.” His low voice and the whispers of the people around reached my ears.

How could he apologize for that?

I never dreamed that he would realize his mistake.

But that doesn’t mean I want to hear more from him.

“You don’t have to apologize. I have already given you the slap you gave me last time, haven’t I? We don’t owe each other.”

“No… no… I really know I was wrong. I misunderstood you. I…” he was anxious to say something to me, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he raised his voice. Immediately, people around looked at him, and he immediately shut his mouth.

I know if I don’t listen to him today, he will make a noise in the crowd again.

I don’t want to be the focus of attention, so I looked ahead and said, “let’s go to the corridor in front. There’s no one there.”

A hint of joy flashed through his eyes. He considerately helped me pull up the hemline of my dress and walked to the front corridor.

I stood at the window and looked up at him. “What do you want to say? Just say it.”

“Leanna, you… You look so beautiful tonight…” he raised his head and stared at her obsessively.

If it was in the past, I would have blushed because of his praise and buried my head in his arms.

But at this moment, when I heard him praise me like this, there was no ripples in my heart.

“Is that what you want to tell me?”

“No… of course not. Leanna, I want to tell you that I was wrong. I misunderstood you. I should have thought that you are not that kind of person. How could you give up our relationship for that money… But I didn’t know what happened at that time. As soon as I heard that my mother said that you took the money from her, I lost my mind and went crazy…” He looked painful with self blame.

I don’t want to talk about the past at all. I don’t care if he misunderstands me or not.

He waved his hand and said coldly, “it’s all over now. It doesn’t matter what the truth is.”

“No, it’s… it’s important. Leanna, if I didn’t misunderstand you, we wouldn’t have separated. You just want money to treat Hannah, and I can give it to you. Then we will always be together, get married, have children and live a happy life, right?” A look of fantasy appeared on his face.

“You said ‘if’, but there is no ‘if’ in the world. Isn’t it good for me to have such a result now? I’m married, and you’re going to marry the girl you love soon…” I looked out of the window, and my eyes became a little vague.

“Leanna, I know you won’t forgive me for not trusting you in the past, and I don’t expect your forgiveness either. But I hope you won’t distance yourself from me anymore. If we can’t be a couple in our lives, we can be friends, okay?”

“No, you can’t.” I shook my head. Friend? I really don’t need it.

“Leanna…” he said sadly.

“You know what kind of person Lorna is. She has always been afraid of me. If she knows that we have become friends, do you think she can let it go?”

“So you are worried about Lorna. Don’t worry. I have canceled the engagement with her. She can no longer influence my thoughts.” When Otis talked about Lorna, a hint of anger flashed through their eyes.

Cancel the engagement?

When I heard the news, I was stunned.

Was it because of that thing?

“You might think it’s ridiculous. Maybe it’s retribution. I didn’t trust you at that time, so I ended our love myself. Now I’m really betrayed by someone I trust deeply.” He said with self mockery.

Was it really because of that thing?

How did he know?

“But it doesn’t matter. It’s good. I don’t even know myself about my feelings for her. Is it love, or is it because of her long-term friendship? Now that she’s with someone else, it makes me see my feelings clearly. Maybe I’m not suitable for her all the time.”

“You said she was with someone else. Who is that person?” I’m not sure if he knows what happened between Lorna and Rudolf, so I asked.

He shook his head with a bitter smile on his face. “I don’t know. I don’t want to know either. It’s her freedom to choose anyone she likes. I just want to know that this time I’m not like the time when I misunderstood you. I just misunderstood her.”

“But… Maybe she was forced to do that.” Although I hate Lorna, in my heart, I always think that it was Rudolf who ‘raped’ her, so in this matter, Lorna is quite innocent.

“Forced?” When Otis heard these two words, he laughed at himself. “The first time is forced, but what about the second, the third time?”

Hearing this, I was too surprised to say anything.

The second time, the third time?

Could it be that after Lorna and Rudolf were there

What the hell was going on?

Did Lorna give in? Depraved?

Or did Rudolf threaten and seduce her again and again?

“Leanna, I think I’m really stupid. Why didn’t I listen to your explanation and give up our relationship?” Otis were immersed in pain and couldn’t extricate themselves from it.

Looking at the remorseful Otis, I sighed silently in my heart. He didn’t feel distressed and painful for losing Lorna, but he was entangled with his first love, which had already disappeared with time. It was really incomprehensible.

After chatting with him in the corridor for a while, I felt that I had left for too long. When I was about to go back to the banquet hall, I heard someone greeting another person not far away. “Mr. King, why are you standing here? Many people are looking for you to propose a toast.”

Hearing the voice, I thought it was Eugene who was standing there. So I quickly lifted the hemline of my dress and took two steps forward. When I was about to turn a corner, I saw Edmund leaning against the wall lazily, with a glass of wine in one hand and a glass in the other hand in his pocket. He seemed to have been standing there for a long time.

“Shh, I’ve drunk a lot tonight. If I keep drinking, I’ll be drunk. Let me hide here.” Edmund made a gesture to the man to keep quiet and begged.”

The man pointed at him with amusement. “Okay, then you have to remember that you owe me a favor.”

“I remember.” Edmund nodded at the man.Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

The man smiled and left.

I stood there in a daze for a while. After the man left, I came to my senses and was about to leave. But I saw Edmund walking towards me. “You meet your old lover behind your husband. You are really good at stepping on two boats.”

I know he saw me chatting with Otis in the corridor, but I don’t know why he started to meddle in my business.

I turned around and looked straight into his eyes. With a faint smile on my face, I said, “you are far worse than my brother?”

“Really?” He looked at me expressionlessly.

Feeling uncomfortable under his gaze, I leaned back a little and straightened my back. Pretending to be calm, I said, “brother, if there’s nothing else, I’ll excuse myself.”

‘thirty-six tricks. Leaving is the best choice. If I can’t provoke him, I can hide myself. ‘?

I lifted my foot and was about to leave, but because my dress was too long and I walked too fast, I accidentally stepped on the hemline of my dress and directly tripped my feet. My body fell straight forward.

Damn it!

My first reaction was to cover my belly and close my eyes, waiting for me to throw myself into the arms of the cold floor tiles.

Almost in an instant, it was so fast that I didn’t have time to react. A strong and powerful hand firmly held my waist. The moment I opened my eyes, my body was held straight by him, and the center of gravity was stabilized. My head was leaning against his chest.

Plop! Plop! Plop! Plop! Plop! Plop! I didn’t know if it was my own heart or his heartbeat. When I came back to my senses from the shock just now, I saw Edmund’s cold and hard chin.

Realizing that i was too close to him now, I hurriedly pushed him away and lifted my skirt to run.

He suddenly reached out and grabbed my wrist, preventing me from leaving.

“Don’t you even say thank you?” His expression was cold, and his voice was cold.

“Thank you… Thank you…” my tone was a little panicked and I struggled slightly.

He stared at me for a few seconds and finally loosened his grip. I’ll run out.

When I returned to the club hall, Eugene had already appeared.

I walked quickly to him and was about to speak to him, but I saw his face pale and beads of sweat on his forehead.

“Eugene, what’s wrong?” I know he’s not in good health, so I’ll pay special attention to his abnormal behavior. Now seeing him like this, I can’t help but worry about him.

He endured the discomfort of his body, “quickly, help me to that empty corner. I don’t want anyone to see me suffer from a relapse…”

I held his waist with one hand and put his pen on my shoulder with the other. I moved to the corner step by step.

After helping him sit down on the sofa, I immediately reached out to look for medicine in his pocket. Then I heard his weak voice, “no need to look for it. I don’t have any medicine with me.”

“Why don’t you bring the medicine? What should we do now?” I immediately thought of calling an ambulance, so I took out my phone and dialed the emergency number. But as soon as I dialed it, Eugene reached out and hung up. “Don’t call the ambulance. I don’t want others to see me being carried away.”

“Then what should we do? If you don’t take the medicine, you will die.” I was so anxious that I almost burst into tears. Why did he suddenly have an attack?

What a coincidence! He didn’t even take the medicine and didn’t call the ambulance. He was going to see him die, wasn’t he?

“Go and call me… Call my brother over… Ask him to help me downstairs and send me to… The hospital…” he said weakly.

Upon hearing this, I didn’t care about anything else but followed his order to look for Edmund all over the venue.
