Chapter 444 She Likes Women
In a silent yet luxurious room, Leah was wondering what had happened between Susan and Han.
“If you don’t want to be hurt, you better stay away from her,” Han warned her again.
Leah did not really care whether she could share the office with Susan since it was given to her by Han. However, she must have a meal with Susan tomorrow.
The next day, Leah went to the airport to pick up Susan. They went to a high-class steakhouse for lunch.
“Ms. Victor, it’s been a long time.” Leah took a sip of wine from the glass given to her by Susan. She was not sure if it was an imagination, but the way Susan looked at her was peculiar. It was different from when she was in Qustraebar.
Susan brushed her hair on her forehead and said, “Ms. White, you have become prettier. Ever since we worked together, I have been very impressed by your skills. I have been wanting to meet you again. Now that I’m finally here, we can meet more often. NôvelDrama.Org owns this text.
Susan’s appearance and short hair made her look like a man.
“Your hair is shorter as well.” Leah blushed from her praise. She was glad to meet someone that appreciated her. Susan was one of her few female friends apart from Serena.
When Susan saw how Leah was blushing, she finished her glass of wine and asked, “Can I call you Sarah in the future?”
Leah did not find it strange and nodded with a smile, “Of course.”
Susan looked at her smile as she was gripping her wine glass tightly as if she was suppressing some kind of urge.
“Sarah, what are you doing after this? Should we go visit the office?”
Leah finally remembered that she was not going to share the office with Susan. She quickly apologized and explained herself, “I’m sorry, Ms. Victor. I found another suitable office building, so I won’t be sharing a building with you.”
There was a hint of disappointment in Susan’s eyes as she said, “It’s all right. We will be in the same city anyway. We can always meet for lunch.”
“Sure.” Leah was touched by how gentle and magnanimous Susan was. She felt very lucky to have met a friend like her.
After the meal, Leah wanted to show Susan around.
“Ms. Victor, this city has beautiful scenery. It has a stunning sunset as well. When you are free, let me show you around…”
While she was introducing the city to Susan, she did not realize the steps in front of her and fell.
“Look out!” Susan caught her quickly and held her in her arms.
Leah was still in shock after realizing a sharp corner that was waiting for her had Susan not caught her. It was all thanks to Susan. Otherwise, she figured she would have to spend more days in the hospital once again.
“You looked smart, but you are actually clumsy.” Susan touched Leah’s nose but did not let her go.
Leah felt something was wrong, but she was not sure what it was. She escaped Susan’s embrace and said, “Yes. I was careless just now.”
Before she could finish, her face was kissed by Susan. She was stuttering, “Ms. Victor… What are you doing…”
She finally knew what was wrong. Susan was looking at her in a similar way to Han. It was possessive and domineering. Suddenly, Leah had a guess. Perhaps Susan was…
“Leah!” As she was deep in thought, a voice called out to her. She felt guilty when she saw Han appearing in front of her. She was praying for Han to not see what Susan did just now.
“What is it?” Susan pretended to be calm.
Han grinned as he approached Leah. Then, he viciously shook Susan’s hand away that was holding Leah’s waist.
“Ms. Victor, I advise you to stay away from this woman.”
Susan was upset when she saw Han, “Mr. Howard, I’m just trying to be friends with her. You are too controlling as her ex-husband.”
Susan seemed to know a lot about them. The term “ex-husband” hurt Han.
“It seems like you are determined to stay by this woman’s side.”
Leah frowned when she saw Han getting angry, “I’m just making a new friend. I’m sure it’s fine. Are you going to restrict my social interactions as well so I can become your caged bird?”
Leah’s cold voice calmed Han’s annoyance. Leah thought Han would get angry and drag her away as usual, but he was very gentle this time. He looked at her and said, “We’ll talk when we get back. Let’s go.”
Leah did not plan to anger him anymore since he was in a good mood. She said to Susan, “Ms. Victor, let’s meet again.”
Susan glared at Han before smiling gently toward Leah and said, “Sure. Let’s go to a place where we won’t be disturbed by people like him.” Then, she left.
Han said, “What a joke.”
Back at home, Leah asked, “What happened between you two?”
As she recalled, this was their first time meeting each other. Why would they argue with each other?
“There was no feud between us.” Han stood in front of Leah. He was towering over her.
Cold winds were blowing, and Leah rubbed her hands together. Han covered her ice-cold hands with his large and warm hands and said, “Because she likes women.”
“I see… What?” Leah was stunned. She wondered if Han really told her that Susan liked women.
