Catherine's POV

"Why don't you just tell me what it is?" said Leo.

Then I told him my request, "I want you to sing a song with Gina. Is that OK?"

"Gina? Why do you want me to sing with her? Don't tell me you want to fix us up. That's a lot of contempt for me. Don't you know me? How can I possibly have feelings for a woman like her?" Leo said disapprovingly.

"No, don't get me wrong. That's not what I meant. Of course, Gina wasn't a good match for you. The thing is, I made a deal with her, and this was her request. Otherwise, I wouldn't have troubled you with this." I was very anxious. It was about the secret of my birth, and I needed Leo's help.

"If you tell me what your deal is, maybe I'll think about it!!" Leo said with a bit of complacency.

"No. It's my secret." I didn't want him to know.

"I won't help you unless you tell me." Leo was also very stubborn.

I had to give in. "Really? Will you help me if I tell you?"

"Of course. I will never lie to you." Leo promised.

After a few seconds of hesitation, I said with a heavy voice, "She knows where my biological parents are, but she won't tell me. She says she'll tell me if I can arrange for you to sing a song with her."

"Biological parents? Aren't you the daughter of your current parents?" Leo's tone revealed a trace of confusion.

I smiled bitterly, "Gina is the daughter of my adoptive father. She showed me something that proved she knew who my parents were."

"Poor you." Leo came to a conclusion. "Well, since that, I might as well do you a favor."

"Thank you so much!" I was very grateful.

"Don't mention it. After all, I promised Noah that I would help you in any way you wanted. I guess I did what I said I would," Leo said self-mockingly.

"Still, thanks a lot!" I thanked him again.
