Only you in my love

Chapter 819 A Good Time With Leon

As soon as Michelle sat down at her desk, she heard Caroline's voice behind her. "Mimi, you have an

unscheduled shooting today."

Confused, she stood up again and glanced at her. "Me?"

"Yes. You." Caroline shoved the camera into her hands. "Thank you. Now, go to Dream Manor.

Someone has asked you to take photos there."

"Dream Manor?" Michelle echoed in a daze. Finally, it dawned on her. "Leon?"

"Ah!" Caroline clapped her hands on Michelle's shoulders and praised her. "You're unusually bright this

morning. Come on, turn around."

Caroline then twirled her friend around and shoved her out. "Go enjoy yourself with Leon!" Caroline

called out after her.

"What?" Michelle was at a loss. "But it's time for work, not fun..."

Caroline rolled her eyes. "You're right, it is time for work. Leon's paying you to take pictures at the

Dream Manor."

And, she didn't add, Leon had paid quite generously.

It would be a waste if they didn't take the job.

Michelle halted in her tracks to turn around and look at the smug Caroline. Cradling the photography

equipment in her arms, it looked like she was holding a baby.

She frowned.

"Oh, don't be like that. This is a good thing! You're making money and going on a date. Where's the

harm in that?" Caroline grinned. "Now, go and hurry up. Take some pictures of Leon, or maybe shoot

some videos and take your sweet time editing them. Remember, this is your job."

What Caroline said was reasonable, and Michelle found she had no reason to protest. But still, she felt

a little conflicted.

Did Leon hire her just to go on a date?

"What's wrong?" Seeing that Michelle was still unconvinced, Caroline poked at her teasingly. "Don't you

want Leon to be your model? Haven't you always wanted to see his handsome face and god-like figure

on camera?"

Caroline wasn't shouting, but Gray, who happened to be passing by, overheard what she was saying.

"Caroline, Mimi's different from you. It might just be you who's in love with his face and figure."

"Oh, get out of here!" Caroline glared at Gray. "I don't have any feelings for Mimi's boyfriend."

"Sure, you don't have any feelings for Mimi's boyfriend, but you do have a crush on Tim." Gray

sounded a bit jealous.

Amused, Caroline switched targets and started poking fun at him instead. "Well, well, well, are you

jealous of Tim's face and figure?"

Gray rolled his eyes and walked away.

"Wait a minute, Gray. I think I need to explain. What you just said is too superficial. I not only care

about Tim's face and figure, but also other things about him." Caroline's eyes twinkled.

She was really interested in Tim.

Tim was the most interesting man she had ever met, and also the most elusive.

Gray was already out of sight.

With Gray gone, Caroline shifted her attention back to her friend, only to find Michelle looking at her

with wide, probing eyes.

"What's wrong?" Caroline asked sheepishly.

Michelle tilted her head and smiled, revealing her cute pearly whites. "Cara, you and Tim..."

Caroline shook her head. "What's the matter with you? Tim is just my model!"

"Really?" Michelle looked a little disappointed.

Puzzled by her reaction, Caroline asked, "What's wrong? Did you want me and Tim to get together?"

After thinking for a while, Michelle said, "Not really. I just wish there is someone by his side. Maybe he

won't feel so lonely then."

'Lonely?'

The image of the man's cold, slender figure flashed through Caroline's mind.

Truly, he was a lone wolf.

In fact, it was his mysterious broodiness that attracted Caroline. It only made her want to peel off his

layers and find out more about him.

"I see. Anyway, go to work! Ask Leon to be a good model for you and you'll be able to show off your

talent as a photographer!" Caroline demanded.

Caroline's words reminded Michelle of Leon's question from the night before.

Only then did she realize what he meant.

Then she remembered that Leon was leaving for C Island next Monday.

"Okay, Cara. I'll go."

"Hurry up already!" Just as Michelle turned to leave, Caroline grabbed her hand and said, "Wait a

minute."

Michelle was confused. Didn't she just tell her to hurry up?

Caroline leaned over to Michelle's ear and whispered, "Take some 'private' photos of Leon. Be warned,

your nose might bleed, so stay calm."

Mortified, Michelle's face turned a bright red.

"Why are you so shy? You're doing it in the name of art!" Caroline teased her.

Michelle was so flustered that, without another word, she rushed out of the office. She almost crashed

into the door, which made Caroline burst out laughing.

Just then, Gray came over with a cup of coffee. "What bad idea did you just offer? You practically

scared the life out of Mimi!"

"How dare you call it a bad idea? I'm just imparting wisdom." Caroline graciously accepted the coffee

and took a sip. Her nose wrinkled and she cried, "It's so bitter! Gray, you forgot to add sugar." Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.

"Did I? Make do with it." Gray snorted huffily.

Caroline looked at Gray confusedly and then down at the coffee in her cup. Only then did she notice

there wasn't Latte art, which was unusual.

What was wrong with Gray?

He seemed to be in a bad mood lately.

Caroline cared about her employees, so she decided to ask about it. Before Gray didn't tell her. "Don't

forget to deal with the photos you took for Tim," he said.

"Which photos?" Caroline had taken two sets of photos for Tim, and neither set had been processed

yet.

Gray locked eyes with her and said seriously, "The photos that would make blood spurt out of your

nose."

Caroline's jaw almost dropped to the floor.

"Did you hear me whispering to Michelle just now? Where did you learn how to eavesdrop, Gray?"

"It was an accident." Gray changed the topic again. "Well, Caroline, let's get to work. Our studio is very

busy these days."

"Okay..." Caroline walked away, her high heels clacking against the floor. She had left the bitter coffee

behind.

Gray eyed the coffee for a while. Finally, he picked it up and drank it in one gulp.

Outside the Dream Manor, Leon was waiting for his girlfriend.

When he saw a pretty figure get out of a taxi, he quickly walked over and opened his coat to wrap the

woman in his arms.

"Aren't you cold?"

The familiar contours of his body welcomed Michelle and she seemed to just sink into his arms as

though it was the most natural thing in the world.

She raised her head and smiled at him. "It was a little cold when I got out of the car, but not anymore.

You're so warm."

"Come on, let's go inside." They walked into the manor hand in hand. Fortunately, the indoor heating

was on so Leon didn't need his coat.

When he shrugged off his coat, Michelle took her scarf off and hung it against his coat.

The small, light scarf sat juxtaposed against the dark, heavy coat. She stared at the two articles of

clothing for a while, deep in thought.

"What's wrong?" Leon poured some hot water for her. "Drink some of this first, it'll warm you up."

Michelle turned around and obediently drank it up.

"I'm done. Where should I put the glass?" But before she could even finish her sentence, her lips were

covered by his soft, warm lips and his hand snaked its way around her waist.
