GoodNovelChapter 124 Chapter 124 The Temptress Aside from the injury on his palm, Leonard seemed to be doing well.
The pills that Lily bought were imported. I heard one pill cost about 300 dollars, which explained why it worked so effectively.
As for me, I had to go for regular checkups.
When I was finally discharged from the hospital, Emma and Jil surprisedwith a huge banner at the hospital entrance that read "A Warm Congratulations to Eva on Her Discharge. May You Be Blessed and Free From Harm Forever!" I quickly pulled on a hat and mask, pretending not to know them, but they caughtanyway. Leonard, on the other hand, seemed quite amused. He even carefully packed up the banner to hang it at home. It looked like the kidnapping had hit a reset button on our relationship. Things felt like they did when we first got married. Everything was perfect, except for the fact that we weren't very good at having sex.
After resting at hfor a few days, I returned to work, only to find out things had changed.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAlmost everyone greetedwith respect. The looks of disdain were gone.
I was no longer viewed as the gold digger. Instead, I had becMrs. Harmon, the woman Leonard risked his life to save. The office gossip now leaned towards the idea that I was Leonard's one true love. his first love.
Seven said we were a perfect example of "marrying first and falling in love later" and that Leonard was the reformed bad boy you'd never trade for anything I ignored the gossip, focusing solely on the overpass project.
The progress of the project had stalled because of my absence and I couldn't afford to let it slip further, When Zack showed up at the company, I was startled.
He looked so much thinner and burned out than I remembered, his eyes carrying the weight of exhaustion.
He textedon Whatwhile I was hospitalized, just asking how I was. He didn't mention anything about himself.
Now that I thought about it, something seemed off. If he knew I had been in trouble, why hadn't he cto seesooner? "I'm sorry, there were issues with a project abroad. I just got back today. How are you doing?" I realized how much Zack had been juggling. He had been stretched thin, handling multiple roles at once.
"As you can see, I'm doing fine now. Don't worry." I answered him.
"Are you here to discuss the overpass project?" He lookedover, making sure I was truly alright before getting down to business.
We both knew how important this project was. If we did well, it could open doors for future contracts, and the profit margin was really attractive.
Even if Leonard hadn't interfered, Zack and I would've collaborated a long tago.
I sighed when I mentioned Leonard.

"Let's go talk to him together. He's still the one calling shots at Harmon Group." Zack nodded. "Your husband can be difficult." I gave him an apologetic look because I agreed with what he said.
Leonard usually had a calm and composed demeanor, but for sreason, kie had been going against Zack lately.
When we reached Leonard's office, I was caught off guard by the sight of a stunning woman dressed in a sexy, revealing outfit, feaning over his desk with a sultry smile. She was saying something to Leonard. "Eva, watch out for this lady. She doesn't have good intentions." Jean warnedas she walked past with a stack of files, casting a glare at the woman in Leonard's office.
"Who's she?" I asked, frowning as I tried to place her face.
There was something vaguely familiar about her, but I couldn't quite put my finger on it.
"I don't know her. But I heard she's the representative of the Green family from Melgrove. Your relatives, maybe? "Whoever she is, this girl doesn't seem right. She even accidentally' tripped and fell into Leonard's arms earlier. "First Lily, now this temptress. Eva, you'd better be careful."
