Leonardo's nonchalance enraged Amber. She finally lost it and ranted, "Can't you tell I'm upset?"
After a moment of silence, he asked, "What's wrong?"
"Summer has been a pain in my ass. She and Eliza have ganged up against me!" Amber felt those
women were on the same side, and Summer must have asked Eliza to say that balderdash.
She didn't know Summer had no interest in her.
"Is that so?" His voice was still indifferent, and it sounded like he didn't care about her at all.
Just as Amber was about to question him, he added, "I'll come to see you on the set when I wrap
things up."
Amber was prickled with excitement and said softly, "Alright."
Leonardo said, "Then I will be back to my work."
Amber felt much better knowing he would come for her. She was almost certain he no longer had
feelings for Summer after what had happened in the restaurant. After all, how could he care about a
mediocre woman like Summer when he was with her?
However, there was one thing that had been disturbing her. She was 30 years old and no longer
innocent, so she knew the secret between men and women. Unfortunately, they had never done it
since they got together.
Not to mention that, they hadn't even kissed. She had tried to kiss him when he wasn't paying attention,
but he skillfully dodged it as if he didn't want it.
Every time, he would say, "Let's take things slow." But they were already in their thirties, so what was
the point of being slow?
If Leonardo hadn't been doting on her without showing any interest in Summer, she would have
doubted whether Leonardo really loved her.
Even his investment in "Lost City 2" was Amber's idea.
The investment wouldn't benefit the Emerson Group, so Leonardo had rejected it, but in the end, he
listened to her. The most important thing was Leonardo loved her. A man was no wiser than a woman
in the heat of love. Amber was determined to be intimate with him when he came to the set.
When Tim pushed open the door and entered Leonardo's office, he saw he was on the phone with an
impatient look. He could tell from the conversation it was Amber.
He remembered Summer had asked him if Leonardo and Amber were happy together. He had rarely
seen Leonardo and Amber talking on the phone, let alone to see them on a date.
Now Leonardo looked aloof and distant while speaking to Amber over the phone. But there used to be
love in his eyes when he did the same thing with Summer.
Tim could leave after he put down the documents. But he chose to wait for Leonardo to finish the call
before placing them before him.
After Leonardo hung up the phone, he threw it aside and didn't even look at it.
Tim couldn't help but doubt if Leonardo and Amber got together because he liked her.
Leonardo flipped through the documents and looked up to ask, "Is there anything else?"
"I want to ask you something, but it might not be proper for me to do so." Tim looked at him hesitantly.
Leonardo looked away and replied, "Maybe you shouldn't."
However, Tim did not listen to him this time and asked anyway, "Mr. Emerson, do you ... really like Miss
Amber?"
Leonardo froze for a second before continuing to flip through the documents.
"Is that what you want to ask?" His tone was cold and impersonal.
Tim was no longer hesitant and said honestly, "I don't think you are into her."
"I heard one would talk too much when he got older. I thought you were different after working for me
for so long. I guess I was wrong."
Leonardo didn't seem mad, so Tim had no fear. "Mr. Emerson, are you with Miss Amber because you
have to?"
Leonardo stopped flipping and closed the file with a clunk, looking up at him.
One could get lost in the darkness and depth in Leonardo's eyes.
Tim knew he was angry and nodded slightly, but did not shut up as before, continuing, "If you have a
problem and are afraid Mrs. Emerson would be worried, you can tell me. Don't bottle things up. I have
been working for you for almost ten years, and I know you trust me."
Leonardo was reserved and not a fan of sharing. From a different perspective, if Leonardo's hands
were tied, no one could be of help even if he asked for it.
But no matter how powerful he was, he was still a man who needed to loosen up once in a while.
"What problem do you think I have? Who can force me?" Leonardo sounded as confident as ever, as if
no one could defeat him.
Tim was confused. He sensed Leonardo wasn't into Amber.
At the very least, he had never seen Leonardo call Amber. When Leonardo had been with Summer, if
he missed her calls, he would call her back.
On second thought, Leonardo's words made sense. If he didn't want to be with Amber, who could make
him do it? He was never a pushover.
Tim dropped the matter and slightly lowered his head. "I am being nosy, sorry."
"You can leave now," Leonardo said casually, looking at him.
Before walking out of the room, Tim couldn't help but look back at him. Leonardo continued to read the
documents like everything was fine, but his vibe was strong. No one could make him do things indeed.
However, although he had asked Amber to be his girlfriend, it did not mean he liked her.
As his assistant for so many years, Tim had a feeling there was something more to the story.
Leonardo looked up when he heard the door close.
