Oakley bowed after he finished talking, and then took his leave.
Gu Mengmeng wearily leaned into Lea's arms. She pinched the bridge of her nose, feeling a slight ache in her head.
Lea gently messaged Gu Mengmeng's temples and said softly, "Why trouble yourself over such petty matters? Just let Elvis and I handle them?"
Gu Mengmeng sighed. "Your methods are a bit too harsh… so if possible, I still want Oakley to be on our side. After all, we used to be friends."
Lea kissed the top of Gu Mengmeng's head. "Silly girl. You are too soft-hearted. That is why people take advantage of you."
Gu Mengmeng gazed up into Lea's eyes. "Lea, I am scared."
"What are you scared of?" Lea's slanted eyes were full of a gentleness which wrapped around Gu Mengmeng's heart.
