Chapter 1156 Looking At Leena With New Eyes (Part Two)


    "Leena, don''t be sad. I''m always here for you." Seeing that Leena was unhappy, Kevin jumped to try


    and console her. He didn''t know that she was pretending to get sympathy.


    When Kevin said this, Leena''s heart warmed. She raised her head and looked at him, confused. Did he


    mean it, or was he just saying it to be nice? She didn''t know which one it was. Now she was at a loss


    and didn''t know what to say.


    "Ah! You dummy! She was y acting." Belinda shot him a "you-are-so-not-getting-it" look. Kevin was


    supposed to be a sharp guy. ''How did he not know Leena was faking it?'' Belinda wondered.


    But Duke had different ideas. He didn''t think that Kevin was dumb for not recognizing Leena''s trick.


    Really, he had some second thoughts about Kevin. And he didn''t hate him as much anymore. Even he


    had to admit that Kevin cared deeply for his sister, all because Kevin said "I''m always here for you,"


    instead of "I love you." Duke was deeply impressed when he heard this. He narrowed his eyes and


    looked at Kevin, with more admiration than indifference.


    Kevin just smiled, despite Belinda ribbing him. He wasn''t angry at her, no, he was happy. It wasn''t a


    bad thing to be a fool for the woman he loved. She needed him, and that ddened his heart. That


    kind of happiness was what he wanted to feel for the rest of his life. There was no need to be


    embarrassed.


    ire felt left out. They were talking about old friends that she hadn''t even met yet. And she got even


    more of a sense that they lived in very different worlds and there was no way she was on their level.


    She could also see that they were more like family than friends. And ire wished she had that kind of


    support system.


    She had finally admitted that Leena was intelligent and capable because of her upbringing from a fairly


    wealthy family. But from what she saw today, she found that Leena not only had rich parents, but much


    like her, Leena also enjoyedvish affection from the people around her. Leena was the apple of their


    eye, and was far more popr than ire. Because Leena was a good person, and pleasant to be


    around. ire was arrogant and a spoiled brat, and these qualities came out far too often forfort.


    Lloyd watched them teasing each other, and he smiled. Nothing was more important to him than a


    happy family.


    Dinner ended with easy banter, but theughter didn''t stop there. Because where there was love, there


    was warmth, and joy would be tagging along.


    "Leena, you''ve had a long vacation, but it''s high time you went to work and learned something about


    thepany." It was Duke again. He''d trot this out every once in awhile. He had no clue Leena had


    already established her own brand and was busy with her own projects. He just figured that she''d just


    beenzy.


    "Oh, no! Not again! Come on, Duke! You know that I have no head for business. Besides, I didn''t have


    a long vacation. Did you forget? I just graduated not long ago," Leena growled. Duke kept badgering


    her to work at hispany, and Leena wore a downcast look.


    "If you don''t want to go to Duke''spany, you cane work for me. I''ve been really busy too and


    could use the help." Belinda also joined in, trying to help her husband. Leena needed to work. Business


    was bing more and more demanding. Fortunately, Duke had helped her make some important


    decisions, otherwise she''d be exhausted every single day. She also med herself for this. She was


    eager to expand and all sorts of work piled up on her desk. She was overwhelmed.


    "No, I''m also very busy. Besides, are you sure? You''ve seen the way I take life. I might be more of a


    hindrance than a help," Leena said, her head turned gracefully. If she were interested in business, she


    wouldn''t have gone to France to learn fashion design.


    "What are you busy with? Wait, let me guess: shopping, and drinking coffee?" Sometimes, Belinda


    wished she could switch lives with Leena. That way, she wouldn''t be so bothered by all kinds ofThis text is ? N?velDrama/.Org.


    annoying business things. Everybody admired strong businesswomen. Sess was sweet, but many


    people had no idea what it took to get there. If she had her choice, she would rather have been born to


    amon family. No business to inherit, no property to take care of. Just a simple 9 to 5 job.


    "I''m busy with a lot of things. You just don''t get it." Leena pouted. It was still winter now, but she was


    already thinking and nning the summer clothing line and the fashion show to showcase the new


    designs. Because being a designer meant that you always had to be in the forefront, otherwise she


    would easily lose out to thepetition.


    "Don''t push her. If you''re having a hard time at work, just hire more people to work for you. There is no


    need to pin all your hopes on Leena," Lloyd said seriously with his eyebrows raised. He didn''t want to


    see her lovely daughter being forced to do something she didn''t like.


    "Yeah, Dad''s right. If you''re really too busy, just hire people. You can afford the sry, anyway," Leena


    teased as she looked at them. She felt sorry that she couldn''t help them. But she was not willing to


    waste her life in theplicated and ruthless business world. She had fashion on her mind, fashion in


    her blood. There was no way she was going to give that up to go work in some stuffy office.


    "We''re only joking. It''s our business, and we''ll deal with it ourselves." Belinda frowned. She wasn''t


    really going to have Leena work at herpany. She just wanted to give her more options. Wasn''t


    Leena going to get bored when Kevin was away? But she didn''t expect that Leena didn''t get what she


    was doing, and tly turned her down. What was she going to do with this girl?
