Only you in my love

Chapter 697 Tasha

Unlike before, Leon stayed in the walk-in closet for a while. He had never been an indecisive person

and yet he found himself staring at the mirror, fiddling with his hair, unable to decide which style he

should go with.

He removed his wristwatch and placed it along with the others. Then, he looked at the row of

wristwatches before him and finally chose to wear the one with the most minimalist design.

He had to wear the simplest clothes so that he would look like a poor man. When Michelle called him,

the scent of the perfume on his clothes was still strong since it didn't have time to dissipate. He smelled

himself to check if the fragrance was too obnoxious, but was slightly delighted by the flowery aroma.

When Leon walked out of the hotel's revolving door, his eye caught a young girl, who was around

twenty years old. A shy smile formed on her face as she saw him.

"Tasha?" A breath of resignation blew out of his mouth. Leon had seen her for six times already!

When he went to a club last week, the manager sent three women for him to choose. Among the three

was Tasha, who was standing timidly at the corner. She had medium height and possessed adequate

body proportions. Her plump figure was the type that could easily allure men.

Upon closer observation, he noticed Tasha had short hair and straight bangs that covered her

forehead. When she looked down, it was hard for Leon to see what she looked like. However, she

reminded him of Michelle, so he asked her to stay.

The two women whom Leon didn't choose pouted their lips and left disappointed. Under his gaze,

Tasha slowly raised her head. She was so anxious that she tightly clutched the hemline of her mini

skirt. There was still a semblance of resistance lurking behind her eyes.

When Leon had a good look at her face, he realized that she didn't look like Michelle. They just had a

similar hairstyle.

Her face was caked by heavy makeup that Leon didn't feel comfortable pinching her face. 'If I poke her

forehead, a clump of powder will fall, ' he thought.

Although she wasn't as beautiful as he liked, her figure was still attractive.

He only asked one thing from Tasha. If she could turn him on, he wouldn't have sex with her and would

still pay.

Tasha had no choice but to resort to this kind of livelihood. Although this was her first time in this

industry, she had always known that men paid for women's bodies. So when she heard Leon's request,

she was shocked and at the same time delighted.

She tried to bat her eyes and whisper dirty words in Leon's ear. But due to her inexperience, it came off

as a little awkward and clumsy.

Even though she still got paid half a million dollars in the end, she felt guilty because she had failed to

turn Leon on.

But since Tasha needed the money, she had no choice but to take it. She didn't go back to that club

again. She was so grateful to Leon that she wanted to repay him. However, she had no way of

contacting him.

Tasha heard that a strange guest had visited the club these days. What made him strange was that he

would give money to the prostitutes but wouldn't have sex with them. The girls in the club discussed

among themselves what his motives were, or if he just had a type of sexual dysfunction.

Tasha knew that person they were referring to was Leon. So she waited for him outside the club, and

as expected, he was there.

Tasha hammered her resolve and wanted to work for Leon.

For a rich man like him, half a million dollars might mean nothing. However, for her, it meant saving her

brother's life.

Leon was used to the cascades of people who would be willing to do anything for him. He had refused

Tasha politely three times. Although she looked timid, she was dedicated to serving him. She

repeatedly offered herself to Leon, but was always rejected. Now was her sixth attempt in doing so.

"Tasha, why are you here again? Didn't I tell you that there's no need for you to repay me?" Leon

walked over to her, maintaining his genial smile.

"Mr. Lu, you are a good man. My family deeply appreciate your kindness." The timidity in Tasha's eyes

had vanished, and her face looked more beautiful than the last time he saw him. "My parents don't

know how I got the money. I told them that you lent it to me. I want to work for you until I pay off your

money."

"It's not borrowed money. It's money you deserved." Leon didn't want any reminders that he had gone

to a club for prostitutes. He didn't go there to have his lust satisfied, he just wanted to confirm

something.

Despite another rejection from Leon, Tasha's resolve to serve him didn't falter. She learned from the

other people who failed to please Leon that they only received two hundred thousand dollars.

"But Mr. Lu, I only deserved two hundred thousand dollars. You gave me three hundred thousand

dollars more." Tasha forced herself to smile. "I don't have any ulterior motive. I just want to pay you

back. If not half a million dollars, at least allow me to repay you for the extra three hundred thousand. IRêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only

haven't graduated yet, and my part-time work doesn't pay a lot. Even if I graduate and land a good job,

it still wouldn't be enough to repay you. The only way I can think of to do is to work for you."

She took a deep breath and continued, "I can do anything. I majored in agriculture. I..."

"Agriculture?" Leon interrupted her. "Do you know how to plant strawberries?"

"Strawberries? I don't know how but I'm willing to learn. I have solid theoretical knowledge of

agriculture, and since I've been planting since I was a child, it'll be easy for me to learn it. I'll study it

and start planting strawberries for you."

"I have an expert on planting strawberries and he needs an assistant. You can be his assistant." Leon

checked his wristwatch and saw that it was getting late. "I have something else to do. I'll give you a

business card. Just call the number."

He handed Bryant's business card to her. Then, in a stern voice, he reminded her, "You can't tell

anyone about my visit to the club and how we know each other."

"Okay, Mr. Lu." Tasha took the card and smiled.

He walked past her and went to the curb to hail a taxi.

Before he could hail an empty taxi, a car parked in front of him. It was Bryant.

The car window was half-open, so he could see Wynn in the passenger seat. He wore sunglasses and

was leaning back against the chair as though he was asleep. In the back seat, Leon saw a woman

wearing a navy blue slip dress that revealed a large portion of her fair skin. Her hair was styled with a

high bun and bangs that covered her forehead. She was able to maintain her elegant figure after years

of dancing.

It was Valerie.

Leon looked at her straight in the eye.

As their gazes met, it was as though they were taken back to the very moment they first met.

It was four years ago during a charity dinner. Leon sat on the right side of the corridor while Valerie sat

on the left. When the auctioneer called for Valerie's bracelet, their eyes caught each other. Moments

later, Bryant introduced them to each other and realized that they had already met before. The two of

them danced together. However, things didn't pan out as well as they had expected.

Valerie snapped out of her daydream and smiled politely.

Leon, on the other hand, was still slack-jawed. He didn't know Valerie would come back today.

Wynn had told him earlier this morning, but it seemed that he hadn't heard it. He had also told him that

they would have lunch together so that they could welcome Valerie.

Before Wynn told him all of this, Leon had already set aside his phone and hadn't heard. All this time,

Wynn thought Leon knew.

Bryant came to pick up Leon for lunch.

When the car halted to a stop, Wynn was slightly thrown forward and woke up. He removed his

sunglasses and stuck his head outside the window. Then, he told Leon, "Just get in the car. We're

hungry."

Valerie moved to the left to make room for him.
