It'll Come Naturally

The next morning, Leena got up very early. She had to go to FX International Group today. Justin refused to be a model for her show, so she had to turn to Edward for help. "Hello, Mrs. Gu. Mr. Mu is at a meeting," Anna saw Leena and walked over to her, greeting her. She had always been a conscientious secretary.

"Hello, Anna. When would he be done with the meeting?" Leena smiled. She was her usual self, sweet and charming to everyone.

"In about an hour. Do you want to wait for him here?" Anna asked. She didn't think Leena would want to waste her time waiting over here.

"Um... I will go somewhere and come back later. Good-bye, Anna." As Anna had guessed, Leena didn't want to spend her time waiting here in boredom.

"Okay. I'll tell Mr. Mu that you arrived. Bye." Anna nodded. She watched Leena enter the elevator and turned away her gaze.

"Anna, do you know that she is the designer of the famous French brand LN FASHION?" As soon as Leena left, the other gossipy secretaries in the room gathered around Anna.

"Sure, I know that. Fashion magazines and weekly publications have reported her story. I've read them all. Now go on with your work. Work hard, or Mr. Mu will fire you if he comes to know that you slack off at work. You know we can't gossip during office hours." As the general secretary, Anna did her job well and tried to discourage the beautiful women at work who only wanted to marry a rich husband. Naturally, she offended a lot of people. However, this was her job. Even if they said bad things about her behind her back, she wouldn't change her work ethic. As the saying went, nothing could be accomplished without norms or standards. To have a foothold at FX International Group, they must work efficiently; otherwise they would get replaced. Anna's strictness and rigidity were for their own good. Leena left FX International Group and went straight to the Leng Group building. She hadn't had a good talk with Duke since she recovered, so she wanted to see him.

Luckily, Duke was in his office. He was acting coldly toward her. She wondered if he was still mad at her.

"Duke, do you really not want to see me? Then I'll leave." Leena pretended to walk out in order to scare Duke into letting her stay. She knew he was pissed off because she had deceived him before.

"Are you aware that I'm your brother?" Duke finally spoke, although the look on his face hardened.

"Sure. You're the only man in my eyes." Leena bent over the desk and looked at Duke with wide eyes, trying to flatter him and make him believe her.

"If you know I'm your brother, why was I the last to know that you founded LN FASHION? Even outsiders knew it before I did. Tell me why." Duke put down his signature pen and pushed the documents aside, looking at Leena rather seriously.

"I'm sorry. I wanted to give you a surprise, but I didn't think you would be shocked, not pleasantly surprised. Don't be mad at me, okay? I came over to make an apology today." Leena's words were pitiful and innocent. She had no intention to hide this from Duke; she just thought it was not the right time. But then, she fell into the water accidentally. That was why Duke had a fit.

"Leena, I've never hidden anything from you. I hope you can do the same," Duke said. His tone was relaxed. He couldn't bear to see Leena's sorry expression. No matter how cold and heartless he was in front of others, he'd always be soft-hearted when it came to his sister.

"I know. I wanted to be the best in front of you, so I planned to tell you only after I succeeded." Leena bit her lip. She knew very well what Duke had done for her, so she was more respectful to him than even their father. Duke always cared for her.

"To me, you will always be my beloved sister. That won't be influenced by any external factors. It doesn't matter if you're successful. I hope you can tell me everything from now on." Duke sighed. He was heartbroken when he learned that Leena got married secretly. It hurt him that she still hid so many things from him.

Leena frowned and went around the desk. She leaned over Duke's shoulder. "Duke, I promise I will never let you worry again," she said emotionally, her eyes welling up with tears. She knew that Duke was scared when she had been unconscious, so he was angry about this too.

"Good to hear that. By the way, come home when you have time. Belinda is bored at home all alone." Duke had always been like this. He got angry easily, but it didn't last long. He loved Leena dearly and couldn't bear to see her suffer.

"No problem. I'll have time after I finish the work at hand." Truthfully, Leena was busy and didn't have much time. The design studio hadn't moved to her country yet, so she had to go to Paris personally to make the sample into a design.

No one knew how Leena did it, but Justin had agreed to become a model for her summer dress show. Obviously, Edward must have done a lot to help in this matter. No one could say "no" to Leena.

"Tell me, how did you get my dad to force me to help you?" Justin glared at Leena. She was really a demon.

"It doesn't matter. You will help me now." Leena grinned wickedly. Justin was too young to fight her. He just needed to sashay down the catwalk. What was he so angry about?

"Humph! You're so mean! Demon!" Justin stared at Leena defiantly. He didn't want everybody's eyes on him, so he was reluctant to model for her show.

"Go ahead. Curse as much as you like. It won't affect me." Leena turned up her nose at him. A crafty look came to her eyes that further pissed Justin off.

"Ah! You're unbelievable!" Justin shouted. How annoying Leena was!

"What's wrong, Justin?" Daisy turned to Justin with a frown. Justin's squeal had interrupted her talk with Belinda. They had finally found time to get together at Belinda's house this weekend.

"Mommy, she's driving me crazy! I want to get away from Aunt Leena!" Justin put on a long face. Leena was born to be his enemy. She was nice to everybody, but she transformed into the devil in front of him.

"What happened? Did she ask for your help again?" Daisy was curious. Justin was seldom enraged. What did Leena do to piss him off so much?

"No. I just have to calm down," Justin said as he walked away. He was quite familiar with the house and headed to the other end of the garden.

"Leena, what did you say to him? Why is he so angry?" Belinda asked. She was eating oranges and was in fear that she would vomit again later. It was not until today that she realized how painful it was to become a mother. She vomited continuously every morning. She wanted to eat food that she wouldn't normally want to eat in the middle of the night. The longing for it was so strong and intolerable that she had to wake up Duke from sleep every night. Just so he could get up and drive out to buy her what she wanted.000000
