章節 74: 74. A Break
With everyone there the meeting started. Sam reported their findings from the mine and the subsequent procedures they were planning.
It took two hours and by the time they were done it was already past eight.
Leo took a break and went to grab something to eat. On the way he saw several agents who saluted him.
He wasn't accustomed to such a treatment and quickly walked away. Grabbing a piece of bread and a cup of coffee, he walked out and sat on a bench.
He took little bites and sipped the coffee. His mind and body was completely relaxed and felt very comfortable.
"Mind if I join?"
Dalia walked over with a smile and asked.
Leo waved his hand, "Please."
Dalia sat down. She was wearing a suit and had her hair combed to the side. A few strands of hair fell down on her forehead. She looked extremely beautiful.
Leo was taken back for a moment and smiled, "So? What is it?"
Dalia rested her head on her palms and said, "Say, are you not the least bit attracted to me?"
Leo truthfully replied, "You are very beautiful, but I already have someone. And to me she is the most perfect beauty."
Dalia felt a pang in her heart, she squeezed out a smile and asked, "So who is this perfect beauty?"
Leo looked to the stars, a reminiscing look flashed on his face, unknowingly he smiled, "She is clever and beautiful. Sometimes the little things will make her embarrassed, she is very kind and caring. I am lucky to have met her."
Dalia could feel the happiness in his voice. Those were genuine words.
She regretted not meeting him sooner.
"You like her so much, she is very lucky."
Leo laughed, "Haha, you know, at first we couldn't see eye to eye."
"Then how did you...
Leo couldn't help but remember that moment when he saw her bare and was embarrassed to speak.
He coughed and said, "Well... one thing led to another and, you know, we somehow got close."
Just as they were speaking both of the heard footsteps and saw Arthur walking towards them.
"Dalia, I have been looking for you."
I am also here.
Leo said to himself.
Arthur got to them and said, "I am going back home for several days, do you, um, wanna come with me? You said you haven't seen dad for a while, so why not take this chance?"
Oh, not bad.
Leo muttered inside.
Dalia glanced at him and pondered for a moment. It has indeed been a while since she saw uncle Lex, and she was planning to visit but...
Suddenly she looked at Leo and brightened up.
"Hey, come with us. Uncle Lex has a ranch, you can even go hunting. You are taking a break, so what do you think?"
Leo wanted to refuse but Arthur looked at him with pleading eyes. Dalia's words were she would go with Arthur as long as hep tagged along.
Well, why not.
"Alright."
Dalia was happy to hear him and asked Arthur, "When are we leaving?"
Arthur hastily said, "How about tomorrow morning?"
Dalia nodded, so did Leo.
...
Next morning.
Arthur had a suitcase with him as he waited for Leo. Dalia was beside him, she wore a light blue skirt and a hat.
Arthur stole a few glances from time to time.
Just then Leo walked out. He carried a small suitcase with him and had his sword wrapped in a piece of cloth.
"Alright, let's go."
A car was already waiting for them. All of them boarded and drove off.
"Hey, this is a nice car. The agency is quite generous."
Arthur shook his head and said, "This isn't from the agency, this is mine."
Leo was surprised and pointed to the driver, "And him? Is he not an agent?"
Arthur replied, "No. He is my driver."
Leo asked puzzled, "Don't the agency provide services for class A and above?"
Arthur nodded, "Yes, they do."
"Then...
"Their cars aren't of good quality."
Leo was speechless. He asked, "You are rich, aren't you?"
Arthur thought for a moment and said, "I am."
Leo rolled his eyes at him and asked Dalia, "Why is he so rich?"
Dalia shot a look at Arthur, "Uncle Lex has a hand in a lot of business, which also includes military supplies."
I see.
Leo nodded. They didn't speak much along the way, just some light talk here and there.
The car took a turn from the road and drove into an estate. The driveway alone took five minutes.
Leo saw a large mansion surrounded by vibrant green lawns and neatly arranged flower beds.
Just as they got off a couple walked out from the mansion with several maids.
"Dalia, my little girl, you are growing beautiful every day."
The man had a solid build and slightly graying hair. He exuded a sense of dignity and power.
Dalia hugged the man and said, "It's been a while, uncle Lex."
"Kiddo, are you forgetting your auntie?"
The woman beside Lex had a serene, mature aura around her. She also had graying hair but it only added a bit of authority to her.
"Of course not!"
Dalia immediately hugged the woman and smiled sweetly.
"Oh, Arthur, come in kid. I heard from Edward, keep it up."
"Yes, father!"
Only now did Lex turn his attention on Arthur.
Leo watching from the side had his doubts about whether Arthur was really this couple's son or not.
Lex focused on Leo and said with a smile, "You must be Leo Heart."
Leo was surprised, "You know me?"
Lex nodded, "Edward only had praise for you. So young and you have already put those old idiots to shame, haha."
Leo simply smiled. This guy was really straightforward.
"Why are you making our son and his friends stand outside for?"
Arthur's mother chided Lex. She stepped forward and introduced herself.
"Hello, my name is Catherine. Please come inside."
Leo politely greeted her back and walked in with the rest.
