Date with Me, Sugar Mama
Chapter 31 For Use Only

Leonard sat back on the sofa, and his voice was still ambiguous, "Viola, I don't care about the truth of the news or when you reveal your identity as the vice president of the Shaws Group. I'm just wondering why you kept it from me. You met him at the horse farm, didn't you? And you didn't tell me the results of the investigation about the horse farm. What are you thinking?"

"Because at that time I felt that Steven was of no use to the Shaws Group, and I could handle it. As far as the investigation of the horse farm is concerned, there are still some doubts, and I intend to report to you when they are clear." Viola told the truth.

"What about last night? Why drag him out in such a high-profile way?"

The coffee was still hot, but Viola didn't dare to let it go. She said, "If the news that Steven is kept by me is revealed, his family would feel it difficult. Besides, he almost disabled Maddox's favorite grandson's legs yesterday. Isn't it good to stir up the inner force in the Chambers family?"

Leonard fixed his eyes on her, like he was studying the credibility of her words.

Viola was nailed to the ground like a stake, and the hot coffee cup burned her skin. She felt no pain, only her heart was beating fast because of nervousness, and cold sweat had risen behind her, like a knife hanging over her head, but she was still calm and composed on the surface.

After a long time, Leonard gave a smile like sun came out after rain, suddenly got up and walked towards her. He grabbed her coffee, put it on the table and then held her hand.

He rubbed her red hand and said thoughtfully, "Viola, you've never let me down. This time, you've gone too far. I don't want the dog of the Chambers family getting his hands on my things, even if that dog is not important, understand?"

The Shaws family and the Chambers family had been enemies for generations, which she knew very well, but she felt uncomfortable when he said that holding her hand. It was different from the way Steven held her hand, but what was different? Viola had no answer.

She felt there were some meanings in Leonard's words that she did not understand.

However, it was over. Viola was relieved and nodded, "I understand. It will not happen again."

The air was quiet for a few seconds. Leonard took a sip of tea and broke the silence first, smiling at her. "You did a good job about Travis, but your salary will not be raised, take it as a compensation." "You are penny-pinching!" Viola snapped through clenched teeth. "I should at least have bonus."

"If you really want a bonus, well, how about having dinner with me, a dashing, handsome, peerless man?"

Viola rebuffed, "No, or the outsiders would say I am your sweetheart."

Shamelessly, Leonard approached her with a smile and said, "Well, isn't that exciting that you are my sweetheart and Steven is your sweetheart?!"

Viola felt relieved and took a breath before she said, "Mr. Shaws, I gotta go. Travis will come later and you need to finalize the contract with him."

After Viola walked out of the office, Leonard's smile disappeared on his face. He looked firmly at the closed door, his face turned frosty.
