Chapter 373 The Dining Party (Part Three)
Upon noticing Mr. Xu''s scowling face, Le grabbed several tissues and tried to clean up his shirts in a
hurry as she panicked. "Mr. Xu, I''m so sorry. How about... we head to the rest room? There I will be
able to help clean your clothes properly, " she suggested in an apologetic tone.
"Fine, " Mr. Xu replied, as he got back up.. As soon as they entered the bathroom, Mr. Xu closed the
door deliberately. Le took some tissues from the counter, opened the tap and soaked the tissues.
"I''m really sorry for getting you into such a mess with my clumsy actions, " she apologized as she
rigorously kept wiping his shirts with tissues.
"It''s fine, " Mr. Xu responded with a sly yet content smile. Le''s hands lingered around his chest for
quite a while, which turned Mr. Xu on.
"Le, " Mr. Xu called out her name, as he grabbed her hand and pressed her against the basin. "You
are so beautiful, " he continued, as he stared at her with obsessive eyes.
"Am I?" Le responded calmly, as she smiled at him. "Do you think that I am prettier than your
assistant?"
Mr. Xu was shocked as he realized that Le had found out about their rtionship. "How did you
know?" he asked, looking confused and curious.
"Her expressions showed how she felt about you very evidently, " Le answered confidently. "When
we were in thepartment, you didn''t see her expressions. It looked like she was trying to kill me with
her furious eyes. I am a woman, so I am sensitive and aware of these matters. I don''t think she was so
hostile towards me simply because I am more attractive than her. The only exnation for her hostility
is you!" she exined as she perched herself on the edge of the basin.
"You are a good observer. There is nothing to hide really. Yes, she is my mistress indeed. But..." Mr. Xu
said frankly, as he began tough.
"But what?" Le asked as she continued to smile.
"But I am more interested in you now. How much does Mr. Lu pay you? I will pay double as long as you
are willing toe work with me at mypany. What do you think of my offer?" Mr. Xu offered as he
pulled her into a tight embrace.
"Mr. Xu..." Le said in a sweet tone, as she pulled his cor yfully. "You haven''t answered my
question yet. Who is more lovely, your secretary or me?"
"You, of course you. There is no doubt about it, " Mr. Xu replied without even hesitating for a second.
Mr. Xu then pounced on Le in an attempt to kiss her. All of a sudden, someone kicked the door open.
"Leo, dare you to repeat this again?" his assistant shouted, as she strode to him.
"Carol, I can exin this..." Leo said, flustered. Leo immediately panicked at the sight of Carol standing

at the door. Le could not understand why he would fear his assistant like this especially considering
what all he said.
"Exin? I first saw you flirting with this woman all night and now this, " Carol yelled at him, as she
nced at Le with disgust and fury. Le jumped down from the basin, and then smoothed out her
clothes. Carol came inside zing with anger when she saw Le''s gloating expression. "You''re such a
bitch. I know that you were trying to covet Leo all night long. I will teach you a lesson and let you know
the consequence of seducing someone''s beloved, " Carol scolded, with an intention to raise her hand
to hit Le who was standing across her.
"Carol, please calm down. This is not what you imagined. It is just a misunderstanding, " Leo exined,
as he put his hands around her waist in a bid to stop her.
"Leo, if you don''t let me go now, I will tell this to my cousin. I''m sure that she will fix you, " Carol warned
him with an ultimatum. Upon hearing this, Leo withdraw his hands almost immediately. "Carol, you can''t
always use your cousin to threaten me. You know her temper. If she finds out about this, she will give
me a hard time over nothing. Can you bear the thought of her beating me to death?" he said, with a
rather upset look.
Not until now could Le figure out their real rtionship. ''Carol is not only his secretary but his wife''s
cousin. Two cousins serve one man. It''s crazy, '' she thought.
"What she does to you is none of my business, " Carol snapped back. "Why can''t you just change your
nature as you always promise you will? And if that was not enough, you hit on such a low woman like
her. Are you blind?" she said scornfully totally ignoring the fact that Le was still standing there.
"Yes, you''re right. This is all my fault. Please don''t be mad at me any longer, " Leo said drawing out a
smile, trying to calm her down. "Let''s go now. There are so many people staring at us. We should stop
embarrassing one another by creating such a debacle, " he continued in a persuasive tone.
"I am surprised, you do feel embarrassed and ashamed on some level. You should have been
prepared for this the moment you decided to flirt with another woman, " Carol replied in contempt. "I''m
telling you that I must kick her ass today, " she added furiously.
"Bitch, how dare you seduce Leo in such a filthy manner? I am going to disfigure you so that you can''t
tempt him or any man anymore, " Carol said as she pulled her hands in a fist, and dashed towards
Le.
Carol pulled Le''s hair immediately. Le wasn''t a delicate woman who would let others bully her in
such a harsh manner. As Carol made the move first, it was safe to strike back in defense. They two
then began to fiercely fight with moments. With no intention of stopping they kept attacking one
another.
After hearing Carol''s warning, Leo didn''t dare to move forward to stop them and pull them apart. As
they were still in a fight, he had no choice but to approach Charles for help, after all Le was his
secretary. "Mr. Lu, Le is fighting with my assistant. If you could please help me solve this matter, I will
sign an one-year contact with you... no actually, make it a five-year contact, " he said to Charles as he
pleaded for help.
Charles was stunned, and then agreed to the proposition. Just as he reached the rest room, dozens of
people had gathered outside whispering to one another. "Knock it off!" he howled authoritatively, right
from the entrance.
Le froze immediately when she heard Charles'' voice call out to them. "Mr. Lu, she struck me first, I
only defended myself, " she rified to Charles.
"She is right. I started the fight. So what?" Carol responded, staring at Le with rage knowing her
reasons were legitimate. "You shameless woman. I wouldn''t feel guilty even if I beat you to death, " she
continued cursing at her as she crossed her arms.
"You..." Le stammered, irritated by her words. She didn''t curse back as Charles was around and she
wanted to look decent.
"Well, the fight is over. It was just a misunderstanding. Go back to minding your own business, " Leo
said to the lookers-on. As the crowd dispersed, he walked up to Carol and said, "Well, you have
already taught her a lesson that she will definitely not forget for a long time toe. Just let it go. Let''s
leave here now..."
"I''m not leaving, " Carol refused with conviction. "I did nothing wrong. This indecent woman should feel
lucky that she is still alive."
"Mr. Xu, " Charles began to address him as he looked at Leo with discontent. "I can see that Le is
hurt pretty badly. If you don''t leave now, I will call the police. I can''t allow my subordinate to be bullied
like this even if it means calling off our deal, " he warned.
"We''re leaving now, " Leo returned with a smile. Leo was a man for whom reputation meant a great
deal. ''If Charles called the police, I would be aughingstock in the business circle, '' he thought. He
grabbed Carol by her hand, and they walked out of the restaurant.
Carol felt much better and relieved when she saw Le''s awkward expression. That''s why she went
with Leo obediently without uttering a single word.
"Are you fine?" Charles asked Le, as they walked away.
