Sweet Mischief’s Rollercoaster Romance

Leo listened with a smile as the call connected. "Hello, I'm Leo, guest in room 2308. This girl here is my girlfriend. Could you give her a spare key card?"

After getting the spare key card at the front desk, Anya grinned, "See, I told you I'm his girlfriend. You didn't believe me!"

With the key card in hand, she happily went back to wait for Leo.

Around 11, after wrapping up work in his car, Leo closed his laptop and headed back.

"Chad, hurry up! I made pork bone broth ramen, way better than the stuff outside." Anya's joy came from seeing Chad eat the food she made. "I also bought whole wheat bread and brought some of my homemade jam. If you don't feel like going downstairs for breakfast, you can have bread and jam."

Leo sat down, placing his laptop on the bed. "You have an exam this afternoon. How's the prep going?"

"Don't worry, no cheat sheets this time."

Leo handed her a pair of chopsticks. "Let's eat together."

"Chad, did you go for another interview?"

Leo nodded, and Anya didn't dare ask about the outcome.

Leo said, "That company's not a good fit."

Anya thought Leo was upset because he didn't pass the interview, so she encouraged him, "Then move on to the next one. With so many companies out there, someone's bound to recognize your talent." Leo asked, "You don't mind that your Chad hasn't found a job yet?"

Anya immediately shook her head. "Chad, I'll never pressure you. I know you're trying hard and not giving up."

Soon, Leo's phone rang. He answered, "Hello?"

"Is this Leo who interviewed at Sunnew Web this morning?"

"Yes, it's me."
