Love's Bitter Edge (Eva and Leonard)
Chapter 437

Chapter 437 What's in it for Me

I put on some light makeup to give my cheeks some color. Francesca gave me the rundown of the collaboration between Green Group and Harmon Group during the

drive.

At first, Alisa didn't intend to deal with Leonard directly. She had always worked with the sales manager working under him. Nothing had happened all this time. In fact, they managed to rake in pretty handsome profits.

Once Leonard revolted against me, however, he directly called off all collaborations. He even threatened the other companies not to collaborate with the Green family.

I could just imagine that Leonard had known about his company's collaboration with the Green family from the very beginning. He merely chose to feign ignorance until the right moment.

"Mr. Harmon wants to liaise with someone from the Green family." Francesca gave me a troubled look, but deep down, I knew what was happening.

Who else from the Green family would meet with him? Alisa was trapped in Melgrove, and I was the only one left here.

I had refused to answer Leonard's calls or meet up with him. Was he nearing the end of his limit?

I shut my eyes in exhaustion. Harmon Group's reputation had improved significantly as of late. It didn't seem like he needed to hold on tight to me, refusing to let

So, why on earth did Leonard want me to go to his company? I'd never believe that it was because he irretrievably loved me.

Once I arrived at Harmon Group, I felt a bit sentimental. A lot of the employees still took the initiative to greet me when they saw me, but I ignored all of them.

I had limited energy now, and I had to reserve it for my confrontation with Leonard. When Emilia saw me, she immediately brought me to his office.

Leonard was on the phone. Obviously, he wasn't in a good mood. "Why can't you guys get it done? It's not even a difficult task, for God's sake. Why did I even hire you guys? You guys have two days to get it done. I want results in 48 hours!" Leonard didn't usually speak this harshly. It looked like he was having a hard time at Harmon Group as well. He hung up when he saw me. Then, he waved at Emilia.___ "Take her assistant out of here. I need to have a private conversation with Eva." "That's not happening!" Francesca refused to go out, but I gave her a gentle nudge.

"It's okay. You don't have to worry about something happening to me in Harmon Group."

I flashed her a smile. "If something does happen to me, you can just call the cops."

Francesca heard what I said and left the office. She gripped her cell phone tightly, looking as if she would call the police in a heartbeat.

Once the office door was closed, Leonard suddenly snorted gently. "Call the police? What do you think I'm going to do to you? You wouldn't have met me if it weren't for Alisa's sake. When I call you, you don't pick up. Am I that insignificant to you, Eva Green?" I shut my eyes gently, concealing the emotions in them. "I could say the same, Leonard. Speak. Why did you ask me to come over?"

I straightaway sat on the couch and stared at him quietly. Leonard probably wanted to collaborate with me. Otherwise, he wouldn't have wanted me to come here in person.

As expected, Leonard chuckled and shook his head. Then, he poured me a glass of warm water. "Have some water. Haven't you been eating proper meals lately? You're skinnier than before."

"Thanks to you." I took the glass and put it aside. "Stop beating about the bush. As you know, time is precious to me."

I stared at him wordlessly, and he eventually sighed.

"Let's work together, Eva. I need your help right now. Luca has more shares than I do, and Grandpa... The point is, I need you to solidify my status in Harmon Group.

Leonard proceeded to air his grievances about the pressures Luca gave him and how Mr. Harmon Senior treated him unfairly.

I listened and didn't speak until he was done talking. "So, what's in it for me?"

"What?" Leonard gave me a puzzled look.

I pursed my lips. "Why should I work with you if there's nothing in it for me, Leonard? Do you want to take a guess at what kind of reward I would get if I worked with Luca and tore you down instead?"
