Chapter 55 The Promise
Chapter 55 The Promise
The driver hired by Alina drove Leena back to A city and stopped directly at the downstairs of Miguel's
company. Maybe someone had called Miguel in advance, so he came down quickly, giving Leena no
chance to run away.
Miguel seemed to be very happy to see Leena. He asked, "Why are you here? Are you here for me? "
Leena didn't know how to explain, "I "And then she lowered her head and said, "Can I borrow your
phone to make a call? "
Miguel was surprised. "Aren't you here for me? "But he still gave her his phone.
Leena called Rena and told her that she was with Miguel. She hoped that Rena would pick her up
because she didn't have any money with her. Rena was so excited that she asked her a lot of
questions. At last, she said that she was still in B city and couldn't find her.
Leena couldn't explain what had happened these days, so she told her that she was safe and asked
her to come back. But she couldn't wait for Rena to pick her up today. She had to find a way to go back
by herself.
After hanging up the phone, Miguel was confused, "What happened to you these two days? "
Leena didn't want to explain too much to him, so she said, "Something has come up. "
Seeing that she was in a complicated mood, Miguel didn't say anything more. He just held her hand
and said, "Well, I'm getting off work. I'll take you to lunch. You should be hungry. "
He held her hand naturally, as if she was his girlfriend. He had never treated Leena this way when they
were in love. She didn't expect that Miguel would be courteous after they broke up. Unfortunately, she
was no longer in the same mood as before, and she didn't like him so much.
Leena tried to get rid of him in silence. Miguel looked back at her and asked, "What? Don't you want to
have lunch? "
Leena said, "Not that! "
"Then why refusing? Let's go. You need to eat something! Miguel held her hand happily and left as if he
didn't know what she was struggling for. Leena didn't struggle anymore and let him hold her hand.
Miguel drove to a nearby restaurant. He let Leena order the dishes. He also picked up food for her
during the meal, which confused her. If it was in the past, she would have been very flattered. But now,
she only felt that she would never be moved by what Miguel did.
Miguel smiled and said, "It suddenly occurred to me that when I took you to the HD Hot Pot, you were
like a deer in front of me, simple and lovely, with ideas in your mind but dared not to show it. I can't
forget the pleasure of getting along with you till now. Unfortunately, I was so stupid that I missed you.
Fortunately, God gave me another chance. I hope we can go back to the past. "
Noticing the ambiguity in his tone, Leena said lightly, "Done is done. "
"Yes, done is done, but we still have a future. "Miguel was not afraid of being disappointed. He was still
smiling confidently.
After having a sip of soup, Leena asked, "Miguel, how did you break up with Alina? "
"Do you mind what happened between me and her? Do you still want to make it clear so that we can
be together as before in the future? "
Leena really admired Miguel. Whatever she said, he would think that she had a crush on him. But she
didn't refute, she only said, "I saw her these two days. She said she was very guilty to you. I just want
to know why she returned to Dylan if she was guilty to you. "
Miguel's expression finally changed. He was no longer sunny, but a little gloomy. He lowered his head
and moved some chopsticks, stirring the food in the bowl in an orderly manner. "Did she say that she
felt guilty? But I never think she feels guilty. She is a very snobbish woman. I am done with her! "
"You must still love her in your heart. She should still love you in her heart! "
Miguel raised his head and said, "Let's stop talking about her. I don't want our relationship to be
affected by her. "
Leena wanted to say that even if their relationship was not affected by Alina, it had been affected by
Carlson. They could not go back to the past. But at this time, Leena was not in a hurry to disappoint
Miguel, so she didn't answer.
Miguel lowered his head and stirred the food in his bowl, "My family has been introducing girls to me.
They want me to get married within two years. "
"That's good. You're twenty-six or -seven years old, and you're successful. It's time to get married. "
"I'm not successful, I'm just working for my brother. "
"As soon as you enter the company, you will be the manager. You will have a bright future. "With a
family background like Miguel's, he will have a bright future wherever he goes.
"But I didn't like them at all. I wouldn't have gone on a blind date hadn't my mother forced me. "
"You can't let go of Alina, that's why you don't have feelings for other women. "
"Are you jealous? "
"No! "Leena answered calmly and sincerely.
But Miguel didn't believe it. He just said, "I know you still mind what happened between me and Alina,
but I promise you that I won't mention her again. I have nothing to do with her in the future. I hope you
can give me another chance. After all, I have a better feeling for you than for other women. I know you
still have feelings for me. Why don't you give yourself a chance? "
Leena wanted to laugh, but she held it back. She didn't say anything.
Miguel continued, "I will help you with your brother's matter, and I will protect you from harm. "
His words aroused her interest, and she couldn't help but raise her head. "How can you help me? "
"My brother knows a lot of people. He has a way to get in touch with people from the Empire Group.
Once you are with me, the people from the Empire Group will not dare to hurt you. After all, people
from the Empire Group were just businessman. No matter how powerful they were, they wouldn't dare
compete with the government? "
This was worth thinking. When people were in danger, they would try to survive. How could they care
about anything else? And she was really curious about her father's background and why he had so
much to do with the Empire Group? Unfortunately, she was young at that time and didn't understand
the twists and turns. Her mother also kept it a secret. Of course, she didn't want her mother to be
involved now.
Leena said, "Miguel, do you know my father's case? What happened to him? I don't think it's as simple
as corruption claimed by the official explanation. "
"Yes, your father's case was not as simple as the official explanation. In fact, he was the cannon fodder ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .
of the checks and balances between the government and Empire Group. He did not make much
mistake, but they needed a person to bear the consequences. Your father also knew that, but he
couldn't do anything about it, because if he didn't die, you may suffer. "
It was the first time that Leena had heard the truth of her father's death, which made her suffocated and
uncomfortable. She could not help but clench her fists. "What kind of checks and balances was it?
What happened that year? "
Miguel looked around and said in a low voice, "It's not convenient to talk here, and I'm not very clear
about what happened in the past. Maybe my father and brother know more about it. I don't want you to
look into it anymore, because the more you know, the more dangerous you will be. "
"Even if I don't look into it, the people of the Empire Group will. I'm in danger now. I want to know the
truth! "
Miguel held her hand and said, "Leena, as long as you are with me, everything will be fine. You don't
have to care so much! I will find a way to resolve the conflict between you and the Empire Group. No
matter how bold the Empire Group is, it won't dare to hurt people from the Song Family. "
