Chapter 880 - An Inappropriate Sight!
Oh, so the previous \'Brother-in-law-to-be\' has become \'brother-in-law\' indeed!
Leonard immediately felt that the sun was very bright today.
For the meals, the four of them ate and chatted, and the atmosphere was harmonious and warm.
After eating, Mellisa wiped her hands with a napkin, and asked seriously, "Where will you live?"
Leonard put down his cutlery, and answered in time, "Why don\'t you guys stay at my family\'s house? The place is spacious and there are not many people. I also have many rooms. If there\'s no work on weekdays, the four of us can go out together."
Mellisa then glanced at him faintly.
Did this man seriously think Jean needed him?
Hearing this, Jean didn\'t exactly answer but looked sideways at Lilia beside him.
Lilia smiled gently, and then nodded. "Then, we will stay at the Adlers\' house. I also want to see what the mysterious house of the famous Adler family looks like!"
"Heh, that\'s too much. These years, my family has rarely participated in disputes, so it makes one feel mysterious." Leonard explained nonchalantly.
At this moment, Mellisa looked at Lilia with her elbows nudged her on the table. "Are you going back now or after dinner tonight?"
He remembered that Jean had specially prepared a dinner on the Starlight Cruise at the docks tonight.
Lilia\'s eyes flickered. "After dinner is over, we both need to clean up first."
"I see."
At around 1:30 pm, Lilia and Mellisa temporarily separated on the lower floor of the restaurant.
...
At five o\'clock in the afternoon, Mellisa went to the Starlight Cruise\'s dock with Leonard while continuing to play his male assistant. When they arrived, they found many people had gathered in the parking lot outside.
Among them, there were many familiar faces seen in the building earlier.
Mellisa got out of the car and fastened the buttons of her coat, passed through the noisy crowd around her, and said lightly, "It seems that everyone is very curious about Jean\'s identity."
Leonard wore a dark blue suit of the same color as her.
He and Mellisa stood in front of the car, narrowed their eyes at the scene, and scoffed after a while. "The people in Bandung know each other well. Jean\'s approach to this project may have angered a lot of them."
Mellisa raised her eyebrows in an instant. "Is that bad for them?"
Leonard saw her concern, took a step towards her, and quietly grasped her fingers. "Not at the moment. Even if they want to harm Jean, they should consider whether they dare offend the Adlers. After all, Jean is now a partner of the Adlers."
Mellisa sighed, and the worry on her face faded a little. "I hope so."
"Don\'t worry, I won\'t let Jean and Lilia be in danger."
Leonard tried to calm Mellisa down, after which he walked with her to board the yacht.
The guests gathered in the parking lot followed them and stepped onto the deck.
Tonight\'s Starlight Cruise ship seems to have been fully chartered.
On the deck of the large cruise ship, apart from seeing the service staff pass by, there was no one else.
The banquet was held in the center area of ??the upper dock.
Under the guidance of the staff, Leonard and Mellisa quickly arrived at the banquet area.
Above, there were rows of square tables filled with food and tables with bottles of wine on either side. The string of crystal chandeliers above them projected a beautiful glow as the sun gradually set to the west.
By now, there were already people leaning around the ship\'s railing around the deck.
With more and more people in it, the atmosphere here is no longer monotonous.
"Leonard, I left in a hurry in the morning and I haven\'t congratulated you. As expected, the Adler family is indeed full of talent. You were gone so long before, and your first appearance was striking by winning such an important match. Absolutely satisfying!"
At this time, a representative of the company participating in the bidding came to Leonard and congratulated him with a smirk.
This sour tone was insincere no matter how one heard it.
Leonard lowered his head slightly, and his face curled into a sly smile as usual. "You praise too much, thank you for the kind words."
His calm demeanor caused the other party to blink, and he didn\'t know how to respond for a while.
When the atmosphere was a little awkward, from the deck stairs, suddenly a call was heard. "Leonard!"
For a moment, Mellisa and Leonard looked at each other. Tonight is a thank you banquet prepared by Jean, why did that woman come?!
Leonard looked at him with a calm face and saw Lyn walking side by side with Luke.
Perhaps since this was a banquet, she was wearing a bright silver dress with a long skirt. She looks as if she is shining with stars that have begun to appear in the sky.
Her figure made Mellisa blink. Her dress was similar to the one she wore at the masquerade that night.
Lyn walked briskly and as she stood in front of Leonard, her eyes were filled with excitement. "Leonard, I didn\'t expect you to be here!"
Leonard looked at her expressionlessly. "What are you doing here?"
Before Lyn could answer, Luke was the first to make a wave.
"Brother, it is very rude of you to bring your servant to such an important banquet. After all, this banquet could be said to celebrate your first victory. Therefore, it is inappropriate to hang around with a servant. That\'s why I brought Lyn here so she can accompany you."
Mellisa stood beside Leonard and didn\'t say anything. Her identity as a servant was at times a very good disguise, but at the same time difficult.
At this moment, Lyn muttered. "Leonard, actually I asked Luke to take me here. After that day\'s banquet, I always wanted to see you. I heard your eyes are getting better, is that right?"
Leonard looked at her nonchalantly, and a smirk appeared in his eyes."What do you think?"
Lyn immediately smiled upon hearing this, and even waved in front of him pretending. "So your eyes are completely healed! I\'m so happy for you!"
"No need!"
Leonard\'s cold cheeks did not have the slightest emotion, and any fool could see that he was tired of facing Lyn.
"Leonard, I..."
Just as Lyn was about to speak, there was a commotion around the crowd.
"Look at that!"
"Ooh, is that person in charge of that mysterious real estate company?"
"I can\'t wait to see the one who dares to violate the cooperation rules in Bandung so arbitrarily!"
Around them, everyone\'s whispers grew louder.
Leonard and Mellisa also took advantage of this trend to look at the commotion.
At that moment, from the direction of the deck\'s entrance, several people walked slowly.
