Chapter 14

  Sure enough, after hearing these words, Leo's face sank, and even the aura around his body was like the cold wind blowing from Siberia which made him shudder.   Johny quickly explained, "The pet you mentioned, since it is a pet, then maybe we could keep the same..."   He deliberately teased him and Leo could feel it. But at the thought of this possibility, he couldn't help but frown, "I remember that there was a lawsuit in your hospital last month..."   "I was wrong!", Johny immediately admitted, "People say that pets only recognize one owner in their lives, so I don't want to keep it. but I noticed that your little pet is not happy yet."   Leo snorted coldly and glanced at the door, "You can get out of here."   Johny, "huh."   It's a joke. Before leaving, Leo still sent him to the door of the villa making Johny dressed in a white coat, carry the medicine box and lower his voice, "I recently asked the people in the research room to develop the medicine. It's a new one and the effect is particularly good when we are doing clinical trials..."   Leo lit a cigarette and held it in his mouth, "I don't need it."   Johny sighed, "Listen to me. This medicine is absolutely stimulating, absolutely safe and absolutely free of side effects, so the cost is high. It can't be put into regular production, and it's not available on the market!"   Leo smiled and flicked the soot, "Johny, I found that you are also very harmful."   "It's for your own good. You are only thirty-two years old. Would you be a monk for a lifetime? Even if you are willing, your body can't bear it..."   "Johny." The man raised his eyes and looked in the direction of the second floor, the light in his eyes was extinguished, "I seem to be all right."   After sending Johny away, Leo had a meeting at ten in the morning. He glanced at the time and called his secretary Blake, "Change the ten o'clock meeting to a video conference. I can’t make it now. Send to me the information of the meeting via email."   Unexpectedly, Blake immediately posted the information at the same time, and hung up the phone. He notified today's participants one by one. In the spacious and bright conference room, someone occasionally asked in a low voice, "Why is it suddenly changed to a video conference?"   "Maybe Mr. Morgan is on a business trip."   Blake was embarrassed. He has never been late or absent from work. For several years, Mr. Morgan, who has been on duty every day at 8:30, has missed meetings. It’s a rare incident.   Leo had a meeting in the study room. During this period, he would pay attention to the time at the bottom of the screen every time. He did not forget Johny's instructions to change the bottle for Tara.   "Okay, come here for today's meeting. If you have any questions, you can come to me." After a brief summary, Leo ended the meeting, turned off the camera, and called Blake alone, "When will the company recruit in the fall?" "   Blake didn't expect that he would suddenly ask this, and flipped through the manual, "Alright, the 13th of this month, which is the day after tomorrow."   Every year, he recruits two batches of newcomers from a school and the society. They are all elites in the industry or very powerful potential stocks. The application conditions are harsh, but there are thousands of resumes. Finally, five people are left after screening.   "Add someone in."   Blake was even more surprised. Back then, a senior executive of Hanya also added his relatives in, and he was fired directly after Leo knew about it. But now...   Blake wiped the sweat from his forehead, feeling that everything was just illusory, "Mr. Morgan, you said..."   "Tara Jones."   ...   When Tara woke up, it was already past one o'clock in the afternoon. She opened her eyes for a while and then slowly sat up from the bed, took the phone on the bedside table, and was taken aback.   She actually slept for so long?   Looking down, she scanned the white tape still stuck at the back of her hand, and the cool medicine lying aside. She finally understood her current situation, and remembered Leo's urging in the morning.   Looking at the empty place beside her, Tara got out of bed and put on slippers. After washing, she went downstairs gently. The first floor was also empty. She tentatively shouted, "Leo?"   Waiting for a while, no one answered. Did he go out?   Tara breathed a sigh of relief but suddenly stopped when she turned around.   The man dressed in casual clothes stood on the stairs behind.   Tara touched her nose in a little embarrassment, and chuckled, "You are home..."   "Yes, I'm at home, but you seem to be very disappointed." Not an interrogative sentence, but a declarative sentence.   All her reaction just now fell into Leo's eyes. The relief when she thought there was no one, and the surprise when she turned around are very obvious.   Tara stood stiffly on the spot, obviously thinking about how to calmly and comfortably be under the same roof with the man in front of her.   Leo walked up to her a few steps, and raised his hand to check the temperature of her forehead. Unexpectedly, when he raised his hand, Tara turned her head away. His eyes narrowed looking fierce and his expression is unhappy.   Tara realized what he was going to do and thought about how to make up for it, so she simply pulled her hand and placed it on her forehead.   This action made Leo's face lighten a bit, "The fever has gone down."   "Ok."
