To me, Leonard was just a jerk. Even if it weren't Lily, some else could've taken him from me. this world, many people look alike. It wasn't difficult find another person who looked like me. But 1 had no interest in their love story anymore. I was starting my injection treatments.

I also bought myself plenty of health supplements. Aher making the appointment with Fatrick, I took medical leave from work Emma was concerned about me getting my injections alone, so she took leave and accompanied me to the hospital

"The first injection may have serious side effects, so I'd recommend you stay in the hospital for the night, Patrick said as he gave me the injection.

Icarefully took note of all the precautions. As i watched the medication downto my bloodstream, it felt as if my life had been extended.

"You're in a very good condition, Ms. Green. That's very good. But you should eat more. Your body will only burn more energy, so you should replenish your nutrients." Emma couldn't help but nod when she heard Patrick's remarks.

The side effects of the first injection were felt dizzy, nauseous, and thirsty. But Patrick said that was neemal, and he told me to rest well

"Eva, you'r the CEO's wife. How can you go against your promises? Didn't we agree that we will supply the materials for the next project? Why were notified that we are not collaborating?" Upon hearing Zachary's words, felt confused. That told Leonard about the partnership with

with Zachary's company, and he had agreed to the collaboration. I wondered why there was now a change at plans.

After consoling Zachary, Emandately red to the effice

The collaboration with the ser Group was very important. If we failed to uphold our integrity this time, the Harmon Group's reputation would decline too

Leonard was a jerk, but his family members treated me well couldn't bear to see the bustness fall.

Back at the office, timmediately lacked into the new partnership agreement.

When arrived out Lennard's office, Lily tried to stop me. But when she saw that I was furious, she felt intimated. "Um, Leo-"

I tried my best to argue, hoping that it would remind Leonard to be rational thought that despite Leonard being a jerk, he could still separate work from personal bars
