However, Leo didn’t expect Sasha didn’t come alone.
The driver drove to the hotel. Sasha sat in the passenger seat, and there were four or five children in
the back seat.
Leo had always disliked children. If it hadn’t been for Megan’s argument, he wouldn’t have allowed the
female employees to bring their children to the company retreat.
Now most of the children were staying at a nearby hotel, and even Secretary James’ two children had
been given to another female colleague to care for at the hotel. Who were these children with Sasha?
After the driver parked the car, Sasha opened the door and rushed over. “Leo!”
Leo stretched out an arm to stop Sasha from throwing herself into his arms. He frowned and said
impatiently, “Freeze, stand still.”
Being cold-shouldered, Sasha was a little unhappy. She pouted and said coquettishly, “I missed you so
much. You don’t know how big the fire was! Half of the hotel burned down. I was so scared then…”
Leo looked quite impatient. “What have you done again?!”
“I just wanted to steam my face. I thought such upscale hotels were well-equipped. Who knew they
couldn’t even prevent such a small fire?” Sasha looked around and said, “Where is Ms. Reed? I’ll
apologize to her.”
Leo looked in the distance and saw that Megan looked a little uncomfortable. She was squatting on the
ground, covering her chest with one hand and looking like she was vomiting.
Paul was squatting beside her, looking at her with concern, with a bottle of water and tissue in his
hand.
“Mr. Travis is so considerate of Ms. Reed,” Sasha said with a smile. “I’m a little envious of her.”
Leo retracted his gaze. Out of sight, out of mind.
That woman wanted it the hard way. He couldn’t be bothered to lower himself to talk nonsense with
her.
“Then I’ll apologize later, Leo. I don’t want to disturb them.”
“It’s your business.”
After saying that, Leo strode back to his tent.
But at this moment, a few children ran over. One of the boys, who was about five years old, bumped

into Leo and left two dirty handprints on his white shirt.
Weren’t they the kids who came with Sasha?
His face darkened in an instant.
The little boy seemed to know that he had done something wrong and raised his head timidly to look at
Leo. Leo’s face was terrifyingly grim, and the little boy was so scared that he burst into
tears.
The children liked to imitate others. As soon as they saw the boy crying, the others burst into tears.
For a moment, the campsite that had finally quieted down became noisy again.
Leo took a deep breath and tried his best to suppress his anger. He asked in a low voice, “You’d better
explain why they’re here!”
Sasha’s face was a little pale. She stammered, “These are the children of the nearby villagers. They
said that they have watched my TV series and were clingy to me. After all, I’m a star. If I refuse them
with a cold face, someone will definitely say that I’m putting on airs.”
“Then why did you bring them here?” The veins on Leo’s temples bulged. “What right do you have to
bring them here?!”
“I’ve got their parents’ permission! Besides, the children will only eat some snacks at most. It
won’t cost much.”
“You think this is about money?!” Leo hissed.
He looked down at the two mud handprints on his chest and was so angry that his face turned pale.
Secretary James noticed that something was wrong here. She wanted to share some of Megan’s work
and quickly ran over. “Mr. Mayor, is there anything I can do for you?”
Leo gritted his teeth and said, “Take these children away. You have five minutes.”
Secretary James blinked and looked at the children who were still crying with their mouths She was a
little puzzled. “Where did these children come from? Where should I take them?”
open.
“Ask her!”
After saying this, Leo ignored Sasha and went back to his tent to change his clothes.
Secretary James looked at Sasha, who was also unhappy with her. Sasha rolled her eyes and said, “I’ll NôvelDrama.Org owns this text.
take care of these children. You don’t have to worry about it.”
Secretary James was still a little worried. “But Ms. Vance, Mr. Mayor told me to take them away…”
“I said I’d take care of them. Stay out of it!” Sasha, “You’re a mother. Where Is your compassion?
They’re just children. It’s normal for them to make a scene. As adults, we have to be patient and
tolerant, instead of blindly blaming them!”
Secretary James was scolded to her face, but she had no chance to refute it.
“But Ms. Vance…”
“I don’t want to talk to you.”
Sasha pulled the children away and said, “Let’s go. We’ll play by the river.”
Secretary James returned to Megan in low spirits. Megan had just vomited and was very dizzy. “What’s
wrong? Did Mr. Mayor give any orders again?”
Secretary James spread out her hands and said, “It’s not Mr. Mayor. It’s Sasha Vance.”
“She’s here?”
“Yes, Mr. Mayor sent a car to pick her up. But she brought a few children of the villagers here to hang
out. Look, they’re by the river.
Megan looked in the direction of the noise and saw Sasha standing by the rapid river with five children.
She was an adult and steady, but the children couldn’t stand still. One of them lost his balance and fell
directly into the water.
