After entering the room, she was still looking down at the messages on her phone.
âKenia, long time no see.â
Leonard stood up from the sofa.
Hearing his voice, Kenia suddenly raised her head.
After seeing Leonard, her beautiful eyes showed a hint of surprise Kenia looked at her cousin, who she hadnât seen for three years.
When she was a child, she often followed Leonard and asked him to play with her.
But now, time had drifted them apart.
Kenia put her bag on the hanger aside. When she looked down, she happened to see the coffee that Leonard had placed by the door.
She opened the packaging curiously.
But the next moment, Kenia frowned.
âItâs just a plastic bag, and the coffee beans are so dark. Is this even drinkable?â
Then, she put the coffee back in disgust.
A few days ago, she accompanied her friend to a coffee shop to buy some coffee beans, and the packaging of that store seemed very highâend.
Compared with that, Leonardâs gift seemed horrible.
âYour cousin doesnât have much money. He has just been released. Whether his gift is good or bad, it still represents his kindness.â
Flora frowned and reprimanded Kenia.
Kenia stuck out her tongue, then came to the sofa and sat down.
Seeing his daughter coming back, a smile emerged on Willieâs stern face.
Soon, the meal was ready and served.
Willie poured himself a glass of wine, then looked at his daughter.
âKenia, your company has a new boss just after you started your internship. How do you feel at work recently?â
While picking up vegetables, Kenia said, âVery good. The welfare of the Santos Group is much better than before.
âThe Santos Group is indeed wealthy and powerful. I heard that when they purchased Greenness Group, they directly raised the price by 20%, and our former boss was shocked.
âBy the way, there is one more thing. The boss of the Santos Group came to inspect the company today.
âDad, guess how old he is!â
âHe spent four billion dollars to buy a company. I assume heâs at least in his forties!â
Willie said.
âNo, no.â
Kenia waved her hand.
âYouâre wrong. The new boss of the Santos Group is only in his twenties.â
Both Willie and Flora were surprised.
Leonard calmly picked up a piece of meat and put it in his bowl.
âRight? Isnât it surprising?
âItâs normal. My colleagues were also shocked. Itâs a pity that the new boss only went to the top floor and then left quickly. I didnât get to meet him. I wonder what kind of man he is!â
Chapter a Listening to his cousin discussing himself, Leonard felt a little weird.
Leonard left after chatting with Flora after lunch.
âLeonard, do you have a place to live?â
Flora was a little worried about Leonardâs living conditions.
âAuntie, donât worry. Iâve rented an apartment.â
After Leonard left, Willic looked at Flora sullenly, Flora, think before you talk. The company is not mine. Your nephew just got out of prison, donât you know? How could you let him join my company?â
When Flora heard this, she was immediately irritated.
âWhatâs the matter? Thatâs my nephew. Whatâs wrong with asking you to arrange a job for him?â
Instantly, a quarrel broke out.
Kenia was annoyed by their noise, so she went out to find her best friend to go shopping.
After leaving Floraâs home, Leonard came to Shoal Manor.
This was a villa arca.
It was also one of the gifts Ibrahim had prepared for Leonard.
Just as he walked to the door, Leonard saw an offâroad vehicle passing by rapidly.
He seemed to see Arlene sitting in the car.
Leonard thought, âDoes she also live in Shoal Manor?â
Leonard couldnât help but be impressed by this coincidence. He actually met Arlene three times in a day.
Shaking his head, he went straight inside.
The villa had a classical style. It had a lot of columns, a large balcony, and a lovely yard. The whole place seemed very elegant and peaceful.
There was a massive sign beside the entrance with âSantos Manorâ written on it.
After seeing the sign, Leonard was a little speechless.
It must have been arranged by Ibrahim as well.
The newly purchased company was named Santos Group, and the villa was named Santos Manor, proving that Ibrahim valued Leonard greatly.
Leonard couldnât help feeling touched, On the other side, Kenia invited her best friend to go shopping. And now, she was sitting in a coffee shop complaining to her best friend.
âJudy, Iâm so annoying. My parents are fighting again.â
âWhatâs wrong?â
Judy Patel, who was wearing a light yellow skirt, had always seemed mature and elegant.
She seemed graceful even while drinking coffee.
âBecause my cousin just got out of prison. My mother insisted on letting him go to my dadâs company, but he didnât like it. They just couldnât stop quarreling.â
âOh, I sec.â
Judy smiled slightly.
âThatâs not a problem. Wilder has been thinking about how to impress you recently. Give him a chance, and he will immediately make arrangements for your cousin.â
When Wilder Cruz was mentioned, a trace of hope lit up Keniaâs eyes.
Wilder was a wealthy man she had met recently. He was young and rich, and he had been pursuing her recently.
âThatâs not very appropriate, is it?â
Kenia hesitated.
âWhatâs wrong? Are you too embarrassed to call him? Iâll do it.â
17:02 As she spoke, Judy took out her cell phone.
After calling Wilder, Judy immediately said with a smile, âKenia, Wilder said that they are exercising in the martial art center downtown. Letâs go find him.
âBy the way, call your cousin and let him come with you.â
On the other side, Leonard was standing in front of the window when the phone in his pocket rang.
âLeonard, are you busy now? I want to tell you something. Come to the Heaven Martial Arts Center downtownâ¦â
âOkay.â
Leonard put away his phone.
He indeed had nothing to do now, and Kenia was the closest to him when he was a child.
After leaving Shoal Manor, Leonard took a taxi to the Heaven Martial Arts Center that Kenia had mentioned.
Meanwhile, Kenia and her best friend Judy were waiting at the entrance Seeing Leonard getting out of the taxi, Kenia briefly introduced him to Judy, and they went inside together.
The martial art center was located on the basement floor. When they came in, they heard the noise of fighting.
In the ring, two young men were fighting fiercely in their boxing gloves.
âYou are here.â
A tall young man walked over with a smile.
His gaze became a bit desirous when he looked at Kenia At the same time, he glanced at Leonard in secret.
âThis must be Leonard. I will arrange a job for himâ
âThank you so much.â
Kenia said hastily.
âItâs nothing. You donât need to be so polite.â
Wilder laughed, and he seemed quite smug.
A few young men were sitting in the auditorium far away while discussing wildly.
âWilderâs new girl looks good. It seems that she will sleep with him in a few daysâ
âOf course, she will. Wilder is so good at picking up girls.â
âMany girls always want to marry into the purple, but their families are not wealthy at all. Wilder has a fiancée. He only wants to sleep with that girl for funâ¦â
The basement was very noisy, and the young men were sitting far away. Although they chatted wildly, Kenia couldnât hear what they were discussing.
However, Leonard frowned. Others couldnât hear those men clearly, but he overheard every word they had said.
