Chapter 306 They Looked Quite Similar

As Courtney was coming down from her office, she saw Leon surrounded by a group of female receptionists who were asking for autographs.

She stood there with her bag in her hand, feeling absolutely annoyed inside. It didn’t seem right to keep walking or go back up.

At that moment, she was almost certain that the Facebook post on his official page wasn’t even written by himself; it was probably scripted by his company. How could he show up at my office when the issue had just been resolved? What’s he up to?

“Hey, Miss!” Leon looked up and spotted Courtney through the gaps between the women in front of him. He waved his hand and made his way through the crowd to get to her. “Why didn’t you tell me you’re here?”

“With so many of your crazed fans around, I’m afraid I’ll go viral again if I interrupt you.”

“Nah, that won’t happen. I’ve already cleared it up with them,” Leon replied innocently.

He was wearing a white puffer jacket, and the fur around its hood was big and fluffy. The light color made his skin look even fairer, and his face was as small and delicate as a woman’s.

“I found a place we can eat at. It’s just gonna be the two of us, so don’t worry. We’ll definitely not get caught on camera this time.”

Courtney was a little regretful for coming down from her office. She should’ve just told him that she wasn’t in.

 

However, it was difficult to reject him face-to-face like this.

“You see, Leon… I still have something to do tonight, and I’m sure you’re busy too. Why don’t we have a meal together next time? I…”
