Chapter 102: Chapter 102: Didn’t Beg for Your Help
A man’s magnetic voice sounded.
Immediately, Leia Quinn’s shoulders warmed.
She turned her head and saw Craig Landers’ handsome yet almost devilish profile.
Cindy darling?
Does it have to sound so intimate?
Leia Quinn instinctively wanted to free herself from his grasp.
"Don’t move. If you don’t want to lose face, you’d better leverage this."
Craig Landers’ slender fingers gently brushed her hair, lowering his voice to whisper in her ear.
To outsiders, they looked particularly loving.
Leia Quinn felt the hairs on her ear lobes being blown and tingling.
The unfamiliar man’s aura enveloped her, making her ears inexplicably warm.
She tensed her nerves and stood still.
Did he mean to use her influence?
She... might as well listen to him this time.
"So it’s Mr. Landers?"
Wendy Morgan recognized Craig Landers and asked somewhat surprised, "You and her..."
"My girlfriend."
Craig Landers held Leia Quinn’s shoulder, looked at the two opposite them, and flashed a wicked smile, "So, are you going to ask your dad to fire her?"
Leia Quinn is Craig Landers’ girlfriend?
How could Craig Landers fancy a woman with hardly any flesh on her!
Wendy Morgan widened her eyes, her gaze sweeping back and forth between the two.
When she caught Craig Landers’ sharp gaze, she hurriedly said, "Mr. Landers, she covets my husband."
"Oh? Really?"
Craig Landers turned his head to look at Leia Quinn, his slender fingers gently stroking her chin.
"Cindy darling, is she right? Are you still hung up on your ex?"
The man’s tone was slow, with a hint of nonchalant flirtation.
The heat from his fingertips brought tinges of warmth, making Leia Quinn’s heart pound.
This man, can he not be serious?
Leia Quinn grumbled inwardly, desperately trying to appear calm on her face.
"How could I? In terms of looks, you’re a hundred times more handsome than he is. In terms of wealth, he’s not even a thousandth of you. Anyone with eyes would know who to choose."
Leia Quinn paused, taking advantage of the moment to pull down Craig Landers’ hand, "Wayne, with you, how could I still be hung up on another man, let alone one who just sponges off others, the Golden Goose?"
Wayne!
The way those two words came out of the woman’s mouth carried a special flavor.
Craig Landers raised an eyebrow, grabbed Leia Quinn’s hand that attempted to release, and seized the moment to play with it.
This man, does he want to die!
Taking advantage to flirt with her!
Leia Quinn cursed inside, wanting to break free.
But unfortunately, the enemy was staring at her and watching her intently.
She could only let him take advantage.
"Miss Morgan, did you hear what my girlfriend said?"
Craig Landers wrapped one arm around Leia Quinn’s shoulder and played with her small hand in the other, his gaze landing on Leo Rhodes across from them, a mocking grin on his lips.
"Some people don’t even look in the mirror, looking like a Pekingese. They fit best eating whatever people give them and playing the sycophant."
Looking like a Pekingese.
Ahem, someone’s words are really harsh.
Leo Rhodes actually has quite a refined appearance, gentle and courteous, seemingly very good-natured.
Otherwise, back then, she wouldn’t have been charmed by his appearance, fantasizing about a cozy future together.
Leia Quinn chuckled to herself.
Nevertheless, she liked his metaphor.
Look at Leo Rhodes’ face now, he looks downright silly!
"Cindy darling, where were your eyes before? How could you have treated a Golden Goose so well? From now on, you must treat me better than him, do you understand?"
Her chin warmed up as the man forcefully turned her face towards him, his smile charming beyond measure.
Leia Quinn’s breath caught, instinctively responding with a single word, "Yes."
"Good girl."
Craig Landers affectionately rubbed her soft hair, his gaze falling on Leo Rhodes, instantly sharp and piercing.
"Since you’ve hooked up with the deputy dean’s daughter, figure out the past debts. Consider how much my Cindy darling spent on you back then, I hope you’ll return it fully. No, you should account for interest too."
"I think this little sum, you two wouldn’t deny right? I happen to own some shares in this hospital, I love gossip, and if someone dares to default, I won’t hesitate to let the hospital board know."
The words made Leo Rhodes’ face turn liver-colored.
Back when Leia Quinn gave unconditionally, how he boasted.
Believing himself irresistibly charming.
But now, he’s become the subject of ridicule by the upper class.
The Golden Goose, sponge off others, these descriptive terms symbolize his humble origins.
It’s the reality he’s tried hard to conceal.
When did this Leia Quinn manage to cozy up to Craig Landers!
Making his face soundly slapped.
Beside him, Wendy Morgan’s face wasn’t looking any better.
As the esteemed daughter of the hospital director, she should have crushed Leia Quinn underfoot.
She hadn’t expected her to find a man better than the one she had her eyes on.
Leaving her ruthlessly mocked!
Watching others pointing fingers at her, her anger surged, her stomach truly pained.
"Ah, Leo, my stomach hurts."
Upon hearing that, Leo Rhodes supported her, "Your stomach again? Wendy don’t worry, I’ll take you to the doctor."
Watching them about to leave, Craig Landers didn’t forget to remind, "You two, I’ll send an account later, don’t forget to transfer the money."
Leo Rhodes hesitated, internally cursing Craig Landers, but unable to do anything about it.
The farce ended.
Leia Quinn hurriedly pulled away from Craig Landers, stepping aside.
"Mr. Landers, thank you for your help just now."
Considering he stood up for her, she’d overlook the flirtatious behavior he showed with all the touching and hugging earlier.
"Just a simple thank you, isn’t that a bit insincere?"
Craig Landers looked at Kaeya Quinn with a smile, slowly approaching her.
Leia Quinn frowned, watching him warily, "What do you want?"
This man is just a playboy; she didn’t need him to help her, did she?
"I want..."
"Mr. Landers, even though you helped me, it was your choice. I didn’t ask you to help me, so you can’t make unreasonable demands."
Afraid he’d say something indecent like asking her to spend a night, Leia Quinn quickly spoke up.
Craig Landers chuckled, his slender fingers lifting her chin, "Dr. Quinn, you thought I’d make demands? Don’t worry, I stand by my word, I’ll wait until your petite figure fills out some more before I say anything."
Smack!
Leia Quinn didn’t hesitate to slap away his unruly fingers.
This man, he really has to ruin all the goodwill he left just now to be satisfied!
"Alright, I’m done teasing you."
Craig Landers winced, "Come with me to a party tonight."
This little pepper has flared up, better not push it too hard.
"Party? I have a case study tonight, can’t go."
Leia Quinn refused outright without thinking.
What is this playboy up to again?
Accompanying him to a party, does he truly aim to make her his next target?
"Not going? Fine, I’ll find someone else to accompany me."
Craig Landers put his hands in his pockets, "However, I did hear your bestie is attending too, not sure if she might face some targeting."
