The Million-Dollar Heart by Rebecca Ryan

Chapter 805

"Hey, hey!"

Griffin nudged the completely petrified Leopold, but getting no reaction, finally yelled into his ear, "What are you daydreaming about?! Let go of me, everyone's gone, stop taking advantage of me!"

Leopold jerked back to reality, only then noticing his hand was still on Griffin, "No, I'm sorry. I, I just... I didn't mean to..."

As Sophie walked away, Leopold's memory gradually returned, and he started panicking at the thought of what he had just said.

His handsome face turned beet red as he hurriedly tried to explain, terrified Griffin might misunderstand.

The girl's previously amused expression faded a bit, and Thomas wanted to give his brother a smack for being so clueless. He totally deserved to be single!

To thank Griffin for stepping in and saving him from being paired up with Leopold, he opened his mouth to help say something.

But Griffin beat him to it: "I know. I was just trying to help you out. If Thomas hadn't texted me, I wouldn't have known you were here."

"Alright, alright, as long as you know."

Leopold wasn't sure what he was thinking, hastily agreeing.

Meanwhile, he glanced back at Thomas, who was silently questioning how the two had become so close.

But, he didn't voice his doubts.

First, he politely made sure Griffin got into a cab, and only after she was out of sight did he turn to Thomas for some answers, "How do you have Griffin's number?! And why did you call her?" "Not call her? And just let that lunatic pair me up with you?"

Thomas rubbed his arms, "You might not mind, but I'd rather not catch that bad vibe!"

Leopold bristled at that, his competitive spirit flaring up instantly, "What bad vibe?! How can you even say that?"
