Ji Ziyin returned home in a daze.
She did not stay for long before grabbing her bag and rushing to the hotel to look for Leonard.
Leonard was now living in the presidential suite at the Four Seasons.
Upon arrival, she hurriedly swiped her card and went to the top floor.
She bumped into Leonard's assistant at the elevator.
"Miss Ji." The assistant saw that she only nodded slightly, and the corners of her eyes and brows revealed the arrogance unique to people from reclusive families.
Ji Ziyin was in a hurry to speak with Leonard, so she nodded and asked him, "Where are you going in such a hurry? Does Elder Leo have something for you to do?"
The assistant looked surprised as if he had not expected her question.
Ji Ziyin suppressed her anger and smiled. "It's nothing. I casually asked. It's fine if you can't tell me. Go do your work."
This time, the other party bowed slightly and pressed the elevator button. "Then I'll go about my duties, Miss Ji."
Ji Ziyin remained smiling until the elevator doors closed…
Then, with a wooden face, she tightened her grip on her bag and quickly headed toward Room 8808.
…
Leonard had given her the hotel key card, so Ji Ziyin swiped her card and entered the room carefully.
She heard his voice. He seemed angry.
"What? You're saying he isn't selling?!"
"Then find a way to make him sell it!"
"I desperately need this painting."
Ji Ziyin's starry eyes flickered and she clenched her fists. A thoughtful expression flashed across her face.
Painting?
What painting?
Leonard hung up the call in exasperation and saw the woman standing in his room. He immediately walked over with a cold expression. "What are you doing here?"
He was so cold!
Ji Ziyin was a little flustered before posing herself and biting her lip. "Elder Leo, I'm here to apologize to you. I shouldn't have disobeyed your order…"
Leonard grabbed a bottle of wine from the fridge and interrupted her, "Don't. I can't accept your apology."
He sat on the sofa, opened the wine bottle, and poured the red liquid into the glass, not even bothering to look up. "You have the Empress backing you. Even I have to be respectful to you. Is there any need for you to e to my place?"
Ji Ziyin was speechless by his sarcasm, but she didn't dare to slight him. She awkwardly said, "Elder Leo, I acted on my own accord this time. I sincerely apologize to you. I'm sorry."
She even bowed solemnly.
Then, Ji Ziyin said, "I promise I'll listen to your arrangements in the future!"
This attitude…
This was a living example of someone who could submit and stand tall as they deemed fit.
Even Leonard did not expect her to be so reckless. He stopped swirling the wine and placed the glass back on the coffee table. He sneered. "Hmph. I've been in the pugilistic world for decades. I didn't expect to be almost pecked in the eye by an eagle!"
After all, he was one of the three heads of the Privy Council.
Usually, those as famous as him were people like Elder Xue and the archbishop… Who would have thought he would almost fail because of a little girl?
His faction in the independent continent was almost "eaten" by the small fry.
He was still kept in the dark!
No one would be able to take this lying down.
"Don't give me that. I might have believed you if I didn't know what you did today." He narrowed his eyes slightly. "You even took a fancy to my things. Do you think I would believe you just because you apologized?"
