Chapter 39

Lily burst into tears. Her expression was ridden with remorse and guilt.

Leon was shocked, for he did not expect Lily to have such a sad backstory.

As an orphan since young, his experience was not much better than that of Lily. He had an intimate understanding of how Lily felt, and he was also familiar with the kind of despair and helplessness she faced when encountering difficulties...

They were both born in unlucky circumstances!

Leon felt tremendously relieved at that moment, having understood and sympathized with Lily's predicament.

It was already after-hours, so the situation on Leon and Lily's side immediately attracted the attention of many of their colleagues.

"Look!"

"That woman who’s kneeling on the ground is Lily, right? The president's secretary? Who's the man she's kneeling for, though?"

"Beats me. I've never seen him before."

"That's weird. What are they doing?"

...

The bystanders gossiped with each other while looking at Leon and Lily with strange expressions.
