Chapter 180 To Get Back All That Leonica Had Stolen.
“I saw the conference video today, luce mia.” Owen’s voice boomed from Leonica’s phone as she had him on FaceTime. “You did great.”
“I know.” Came Leonica’s answer as she finished changing into her to be and sat in front of the camera. “I know I did good because everything went according to plan. Well, everything but Florence’s appearance.” She muttered the last part, but Owen caught on quickly.
“Florence Winslow? The reporter who you had an interview with? What of her?” He asked.
Leonica contemplated telling the entire story. For some reason, she felt like telling Owen about Jamil wasn’t the smartest choice. It was like Owen held an unspoken vendetta for the male.
But then again, maybe she was over thinking it. Owen wasn’t that type of person, and holding a grudge for someone he barely knew wasn’t something he’d do.
So with a shrug, she spoke. “Florence works for Jamil Vanadas,” This words were enough to get Owen feeling more alert than he previously was. “Her questions seemed kind of...” Leonica knitted her brows, trying to place her finger on the right word. “Rehearsed. Every line sounded as if she had planned that one question over and over in her head. But even that wasn’t as disturbing as the fact that Jamil happened to show up after the conference.”
Owen’s expression was dark and serious, and it didn’t go unnoticed by Leonica. “Owen?”
“Sorry, I got a bit distracted.” He flashed her a smile that didn’t quite reach his eyes. “And what did Vanadas want?”
Now Leonica really doubted if she should say what Jamil really wanted. She knew that look on Owen’s face. He was Jealous.
“Nothing important,” She brushed it off. “Anyway, enough about me, how’s your trip going?”
Owen shrugged. “Same as usual, boring and tiring. Although the shot is meant to wrap up next week.”
