Supreme Mars
Chapter 116 Would You Do Me the Honor?
Leo paused upon hearing Irene’s question. Not only he was confused, but everyone present was stunned. How could Irene, who was always so gentle, say something like that?
Caroline was stupefied, her eyes darting blankly between Leo and Irene.
The two… knew each other?
Her expectant eyes fixed on Leo, Irene wished he could give a nod.
However, a flash of surprise crossed Leo’s face, and the next second, he rose to his feet. "Ms. Garcia, please control yourself."
"Well, I’m sorry. I was too excited."
Only then did Irene realize she was behaving improperly. She let go of Leo’s hand immediately and stepped back, blushing.
The men saw Leo getting up from the gold chair and heaved a sigh of relief. But they were also aware that they could no longer drive Leo away because anyone could tell Irene had special feelings for him.
Leo stared at Irene and said slowly, "Ms. Garcia, we’ve met twice at most. How can you ask me some question like that?"
Irene, however, got straight to the point, asking, "When’s the last time we met?"
"At Cleo Entertainment," Leo replied quietly. "I brushed past you that time."
Irene stared blankly at Leo and managed a smile, disappointment gleaming in her eyes. "So you remember."
"Of course I do. I have a good memory," Leo smiled. "Moreover, no man will forget someone so pretty like you, Ms. Garcia."
It was true that Leo was paying her a compliment, but Irene wasn’t happy at all, because she could feel a sense of distance in his tone.
"I’m sorry that I mistake you for someone else." Irene gave a smile at Leo and left the banquet hall like a sleepwalker. "Excuse me for a moment."
The atmosphere was totally weird after Irene left, and everyone stared at Leo in an odd way.
Judging from Irene’s attitude towards Leo and the conversation between them, it was hard to tell what their relationship was.
Caroline came back to her senses first, mixed emotions flashing across her face. Then she turned to Leo. "You’re lucky, but you still have to fuck off once Mr. Lawson and the owner of International Commerce Center come!"
Leo raised his brows. Just as he was about of speak, the door was open again.
