Chapter 203 To Dragon Palace Hotel
Dave could only stomp the ground in frustration as Leo moved faster than him. While Dave was busy concocting a plan to get closer to Hera when they reached the parking lot, Leo swiftly took the passenger seat like royalty. The thing is, Leo wasn’t even embarrassed to act like a princess and let Hera drive him around. Dave felt like vomiting blood at that point.
Hera didn’t say a word to Leo and simply let him sit in the passenger seat, a soft chuckle escaping her lips. In return, Leo pulled out a bottle of cold water, uncapped it, and handed it to her. "You worked hard, my queen," he said with a smile.
Hera smiled appreciatively at Leo and took the uncapped bottle, drinking a mouthful of water. Just then, Dave knocked on her car window, despite the car being a convertible. Finding it odd, Hera raised an eyebrow at Dave, wordlessly asking what he wanted.
Dave cleared his throat and glanced sideways at Leo, who was comfortably sitting in the passenger seat. "Would you like me to drive for you?" he asked.
"I can manage," Hera replied without hesitation, immediately shutting down Dave’s suggestion. She knew exactly what he was aiming for.
"But I wanted to sit with you in the car," Dave said, his voice taking on a plaintive tone. When his previous approach failed, he pouted, trying to look aggrieved and pitiful. He shot a sideways glance at Leo as if to intimidate him into vacating the passenger seat.
But instead of being intimidated, Leo responded, "We’re not stopping you from joining us, but as you can see, this is only a two-seater. If you’d like, the only solution I can think of is for you to squeeze into the trunk, if you can manage to fit." Leo then chuckled teasingly, clearly enjoying rubbing it in Dave’s face.
Dave was fuming with anger, but Leo didn’t give him a chance to speak. "You know how it works, Mr. Carson," Leo said smoothly. "In business, latecomers can’t be choosers, and a smart businessman never lets go of an opportunity once he seizes it." Leo then flashed him a smug look, clearly enjoying the moment.
