Sweet Mischief’s Rollercoaster Romance

Chapter 1127

Tony stood off to the side, chuckling as he poured everyone some coffee. "We all owe Leo big time; if our little brother's in a jam, we've got to step up. Chunky, check it out, will you?"

Chunky, the tech-savvy guy, took a sip of his coffee. "Sure thing, but Leo, why the sudden interest in him?" he asked, clearly puzzled.

Leo's thumb rested thoughtfully against his lower lip, mirroring a fleeting look of authority on the TV screen. But no one else seemed to notice. "I'm just curious if he'd be interested in joining my project."

Everyone burst into laughter, as if Leo had cracked the funniest joke. "Oh, Leo," they teased, "we always thought you were wise beyond your years, but look at you-still a dreamer at heart, a bit naive."

Tony joined in, "Leo, you just said how talented he is. If he joins you, what's in it for him?"

Leo grinned, "I was just thinking out loud. You all tease me, but what if he's looking to start something himself and needs a partner?"

Chunky laughed even harder. "Ah, now I see. Leo, you're the one who wants to start a business."

Leo replied, "I'm just intrigued by him."
