Chapter 27 A Big Short's Prisoner
- Colden looked at Leonard with reverence. “Mr. Santos, your boxing skills should have reached the top level of boxing. I didn’t see that before. How stupid I was! “Mr. Santos, I wish you could visit Burgring when you have time. I have many boxing questions to ask you.” Colden, who was arrogant before, had turned entirely into Leonard’s fan at this moment. “Tll think about it.” Leonard said casually. He was not interested in teaching others boxing skills, for he had a lot of things to do. Soon they returned to Santos Tower. After Gracia arranged for someone to send Colden back to Burgring, she said, “Leonard, it’s noon. I wonder if you’d like to go to lunch with me.” “Of course, I’d like to.” Leonard had no reason to refuse an invitation from a beautiful woman like Gracia, not to mention that he was hungry. Gracia was pleased that Leonard accepted her invitation. The two soon walked into a restaurant. It was noon, so there were many diners eating. And this restaurant was also famous and attracted many young and beautiful women with heavy make–up to come. Leonard’s eyes were dazzled by their beautiful legs. But of course, those women couldn’t match Gracia in looks or temperament. After the two sat down at one table, Gracia couldn’t help teasing him. “You must be dazzled by so many beauties here, right? Leonard immediately shook his head and said. Tm picky And not all of them are worth looking at. “I have always adhered to a principle I only look at women with fewer clothes on.” “Puff” Gracia couldn’t help laughing. Leonard was surprisingly humorous. The dishes were served quickly Leonard immediately began to enjoy the food Although Gracia was also a bit hungry, she still ate in an elegant way “Leonard, what did you do before? Why are you so strong and so good at boxing?”
- Gracia asked What Leonard did today stunned her, and now she still felt like a dream. Leonard knocked down dozens of people by himself and even overturned the car. There might be no such thing even in the movies. “An old man taught me. It was him who bought the Santos Group and gave it to me” Speaking of Ibrahim, that old man, Leonard began to miss him Gracia couldn’t help but imagine many stories about Leonard and the old man. Looking at Leonard, she just felt that he was even more mysterious. “Leonard, can you tell me your story?” Gracia became more curious about the man in front of her. “No” Leonard refused directly. There were some past stories that he didn’t want to mention. I upset Gracia a lot. This man did lack a sense of romance. He could have turned her down in a softer way. “Miss, can I buy you a glass of wine!” At this moment, a deep voice sounded. Looking up, Gracia saw a man in a designer suit walking toward her with a wine glass and a charming smile. Because of her beauty, Gracia had attracted a lot of attention since she came in. Leonard believed there must be many people who wanted to chase such a woman. And as expected, just halfway through the lunch, someone came up to strike up a conversation. Gracia smiled and refused. “Sorry, 1 don’t accept drinks from strangers.” In fact, she was often accosted by boys who asked for her contact information. And she was used to the situation and was adept at saying no. Generally speaking, after being refused, guys who came up to her would leave gentlemanly. But unexpectedly, this man had no intention of leaving.
- Instead, he continued, ‘Miss, I seldom fall in love with a woman at first sight, but now I’m deeply attracted to you. “Maybe you don’t know me well, but you should have heard of the company called City Beauty, which I founded. “So I hope you can give me and also yourself a chance.” The man seemed to have a sense of superiority. And he had a look on his face that was saying, “You should be honored that I liked you.” Leonard shook his head. City Beauty? It was just a small company no one else had ever heard of. People as wealthy as Gracia usually didn’t give a damn about it.. Gracia frowned. This kind of man pestering her was utterly distasteful to her. “I don’t care what company you have. Please don’t disturb our lunch.” As she spoke, she glanced at Leonard. In fact, Gracia really hoped Leonard could stand up for her at this time. But Leonard seemed to be more interested in the food on the table, which made her a bit disappointed. It also made her feel irritable in an instant. Being rejected again, the man was a bit embarrassed. “Miss, I just want to buy you a drink. It’s no big deal. “I hope you’ll agree to this drink because no one can refuse me.” The man’s voice was a bit cold. His friends were sitting at a table nearby. If he just went back like this, he would be pretty embarrassed. And in his opinion, Gracia was just pretending to be noble. Wasn’t she wearing a uniform with her legs exposed just to seduce men? “Is it because your male partner is present that you rejected me? With all due respect, he is not worthy of you. And he’s no match for me.” The man glanced at Leonard, who was concentrating on his food. Usually, when a man and a woman dined together, it was very likely that they were in a relationship.
