Chapter 1123 Gerard Was Here (Part Three)


    "Yeah, I saw it. But still, you should have told me before you jumped on a ne and flew all the way


    here! What were you thinking?" Leena was in such a bad mood because of him, so she couldn''t control


    what she said. The words just fell out of her brain and tumbled out of her mouth. To be honest, Gerard


    wasn''t entirely innocent, either. He was highly irresponsible. But he didn''t deserve Leena''s scolding


    tone.


    "I''m sorry! I thought that you would be very happy to see me, Mignonne. So I wanted to surprise you.


    But it appears I''ve upset you, right?" Gerard lowered his eyes in shame. He didn''t even expect that


    Leena would be out of sorts when she saw him. He felt like he wasn''t wee here.


    "No, forget it. Just ignore me. I''m in a bad mood." Leena was usually sweet and kind, so the hurt look


    on Gerard''s face stopped her from saying anything more. After all, he was not wrong, because she did


    invite him toe here and visit her. But she didn''t expect that he would take it this seriously. It was an


    11-hour ne ride.


    "Who''s your friend, Leena?" ire came out again, this time dressed more appropriately. she still felt a


    bit awkward about what happened before. Fortunately Gerard had seen nothing, and was still trying to


    sort out what happened. "I''m impressed!" she said.


    "This is Gerard. He''s a friend of mine. We met in France." Leena smiled and introduced Gerard to


    ire, but her smile was bitter. She was still not happy about his visit.


    "Oh! Hi! I''m ire, nice to meet you." ire introduced herself in English, because she didn''t know a


    single word of French. She hoped that this man could speak English.


    "Hello, beautifuldy, I am Gerard. Nice to meet you too." As one of the heirs of nc Group, it was


    almost required to be multi-lingual. So he answered ire in fluent English.


    "Thank you." ire nced at Leena, she couldn''t help but be envious of her. Because all the men


    around her were elegant, handsome, and rich. How was she always meeting men like these guys?


    What was her secret?


    "Mignonne, is this your friend?" Gerard asked, looking at ire with a gentle smile.


    "No, she''s my sister-inw." Leena spoke fluent French. And maybe because she''d spent quite a bit of


    time in France, she had no trace of the usual foreign ent.


    "Oh? Sister-inw?" This blindsided Gerard. He was convinced she wasn''t married, that she was just


    blowing him off. Hearing that she had a sister-inw was a little bit of a shock.


    "Yes, sister-inw, my husband''s little sister." Leena had kept Gerard at arm''s length ever since they


    broke up. They still remained friends, but it was hard to get excited about being around her ex. There


    was a reason they broke up, and that reason stood between them as a huge obstacle to rekindling any


    sort of romance.


    "What are you guys talking about? Is that French? Wow, Leena, why didn''t you tell me you can speak


    French?" ire discovered one more thing about Leena that surprised and delighted her. Leena didn''t


    care what ire said or did, just as long as they weren''t fighting. She was easy to please.


    Leena turned towards ire and said, "Oh. I was just exining our rtionship to him. But what do I


    do now? He''s here, and I should make him feel wee, but I would feel awful if I leave you here


    alone..." Leena looked at ire with sad eyes. She was going to take ire out for sightseeing, but


    Gerard threw a monkey wrench into the works. So much for a rxing day!


    "That''s okay. I told Louisa we''d go shopping, so I''ll go with her. Have fun!" ire waved her hand


    dismissively, and moved on. She didn''t think that there was anything between Leena and this


    handsome foreign man. And there wasn''t. Not now, anyway.


    "Okay. Be safe, okay? You can borrow the car, and just use the GPS to find your way around. You get


    lost, call me." To be honest, Leena still expected a snarky remark, or for ire to stir up trouble. But


    instead, she was just nice to her. She remembered how she promised Kevin that she''d be nice, and


    that stung a little. She wanted to be liked for who she was, not trapped in some grudging truce.


    "You mean the Ferrari? That would be so cool to be seen in that." ire wanted to drive the Ferrari


    because it was eye-catching and she wanted to show off. As the spoiled girl in her family, this was how


    she thought. Anything could be a status symbol.


    "Umm... You want that car?" Leena was a bit hesitant, because she was used to driving Ferrari herself.


    She didn''t want to take the chance that someone else might scratch it, or worse, crash it.


    "Yeah...That''s not the one you meant, right?" ire was disappointed, but she couldn''t do anything


    else. After all, it was Leena''s car. She had no right to whine when she couldn''t drive it. But she loved


    the idea of it, and it was mboyant enough for her tastes.


    "I didn''t mean it that way. It''s just that I''m used to driving it, and I''m not reallyfortable with someone


    borrowing it. But if you really like that one, I''ll use another one. Knock yourself out." She could tell how


    much ire wanted to drive the Ferrari, and didn''t want to disappoint her. So she let her borrow it.


    Leena could find another car easily.


    "Yay! Awesome! Thank you so much!" irepletely forgot the fact that she didn''t like Leena at all.


    It seemed that an expensive car really could change her attitude. Who knew?


    "You''re wee. Now hang out with Gerard for a sec. I''m gonna go upstairs and change. It won''t be


    long." Leena stood up and made her way to the stairwell. The funny thing was that ire was about


    two or three years older than Leena, but you couldn''t tell by talking to her. She seemed seriously


    immature, with maybe a teenager''s mindset. It could be that she was really spoiled by her family. Two


    people couldn''t be more different than ire and Leena. Leena lost her mother when she was just a


    kid. Her brothers spoiled her a lot, but it was still different from having a mother around to love and rely


    on. She was more mature than ire, probably because she had to be.


    "Of course! Go ahead!" ire was on Cloud 9 when she heard she could drive the Ferrari. At this point,


    she''d probably agree to anything Leena proposed, no matter how outrageous.


    "So, Gerard, are you my sister-inw''s ssmate?" ire watched Leena go upstairs and disappear


    from view, then she turned back to Gerard. He was gorgeous, but there was such anguage barrier.


    "Sort of." Gerard lost interest once he found out that he was totally wrong about Leena. So Leena was


    indeed telling him the truth. She was really married. He had to believe it, because Leena''s sister-inw


    was right here in front of him.


    "Oh." The conversation had petered out and gotten a bit awkward. His vague answer was a little off-


    putting, and it sounded like he really didn''t want to talk about it. So she just mmed up. At this point,


    she really wished Leena would hurry up and get back. This was not going well at all.


    Fortunately, it didn''t take Leena long to change into better clothes. She came down in a stylish outfit


    that was designed to turn heads, but might not inspire too many lewd thoughts. Not only that, but she


    eschewed makeup this time.


    Leena handed a card to ire. It was one she rarely used. Though the money on that card couldn''t


    buy a whole department store''s worth of clothing, it should be enough for ire to use. And she had


    changed all her cards'' password to Kevin''s birthday in case she forgot the password. It should be easy


    enough to remember. "Here you go. It''s a tinum card. Get yourself something nice. The password is


    your brother''s birthday."N?velDrama.Org owns all ? content.
