Chapter 88: Leo Knows?! Send Help!
Micah froze as if someone had hit the pause button on time. He realised he had acted too excitedly, too loudly, and too much like himself. He had broken his character setting, the shy, silent girl fan!
Who was he to question Leo? He was just tagging along with Big sister.
Worse, he had come dangerously close to dropping the voice, his voice, not the sweet, slightly airy, feminine tone he had cultivated to maintain his disguise.
But he was really pissed off to see that he had gone through all that trouble to make Leo free from that scandal and the manager’s clutch only to realise Leo was stuck with that company and that horrible contract. When it said twenty years, of course, the breach of that would also be enormous!
He swallowed hard and hastily lowered himself back onto the couch, smoothing out his loose pants.
"Sorry..." he muttered, eyes darting sideways.
He could feel Jacklin’s gaze on him, but fortunately, she didn’t question him.
Instead, she cleared her throat with an elegant cough and turned to Leo. "How much money do you need?!"
Leo blinked, then he shook his head. "I am not asking about money. That pit will never be filled."
Jacklin turned serious. "Then what?"
Leo shifted in his seat, and the casual air disappeared. His eyes darkened with resolve.
