110: OMW

OMW

Leo Wu was a popular actor, one of the top-paid actors in the country. Even children knew about this man with all the projects he worked on. He was well known around the world, having been asked to represent luxury brands and appearing in movies that made his home country proud.2

Leo Wu was the epitome of success for all actors. He was someone many young aspiring actors look up to. 

In other words, everyone knew about Leo, and one look, one would recognize who he was. Heaven expected Dominic to recognize him, at least. Leo wasn't just any actor, but someone deemed as the nation's husband.

On top of that, how could Dominic not know this man when Leo was currently the face of one of LYON Group's subsidiaries?

'Dang…' Heaven reread her husband's inquiry. 'I guess not everyone in the country knew about him. Understandable. My husband is on a whole new level.'

"Heaven, what's that for?" Heaven's attention was snatched when Paula's disbelief voice reached her. "Stop doing that."

"Ah." Heaven chuckled and this time, put down her phone. "Sorry. I was just checking the lighting. I'll delete it."

"It's okay." Before Paula could say something, Leo flashed Heaven a smile. "Do you want to take more photos? How about a group picture?"

Heaven pondered about it for a moment, completely ignoring Paula's feelings. "It's okay. I don't want to bother you guys."

"You're not bothering anyone. Right, Miss Shen?" Leo cast Paula a look, oblivious to the mental war these girls were battling. 

"Ah. Ha ha." Paula cleared her throat, nodding. "Yes. I mean, if you want to take a picture, just tell us. I don't want a bad photo of me anywhere."

Leo chuckled at Paula's reasoning, not thinking much about it. For him, it was normal since Paula had an image to protect. As for him, he didn't mind having his photos taken by Heaven. If paparazzi could follow him around and take as many pictures as they wanted against his will, Heaven could definitely do that. 

He would even take a photograph of himself if she only ask.

"It's okay…"

"Here. Let's capture this reunion." This time, Leo pulled out his phone. He twisted his body to the side slightly, stretching his arm as he held his phone horizontally. 

"One, two, three, smile!" Leo and Paula smiled while Heaven sighed. 

When he snapped a photo, Heaven squeezed her face at the center in an attempt to make her unrecognizable. Still, instead of fulfilling her intention, it turned out the opposite. 

Heaven stood out. She looked adorable and silly in the group photo.

"Haha. This is cute. I'll keep it." Leo chuckled as he focused on Heaven's silly face. 

'I guess a group photo isn't bad,' Heaven thought as she wasn't interested to look at the group photo. She then glanced at Paula, only to see the woman staring at Leo. 

Paula had her eyes fixed on Leo's side profile and then smiled a moment later. 'I knew it,' she told herself. 

'He still likes her.' Paula discreetly shifted her attention to Heaven, but much to her dismay, Heaven already had her focus on her phone. 'I know you haven't moved on. We've been friends, so I'm certain you're just trying to distract yourself. Who is she messaging? I'm the only one you text, after all.'

For Paula, Heaven was simply diverting her attention. Her friend was always like that, pretending to use her phone even when was doing nothing in it. Hence, Paula quickly concluded in her mind without considering Heaven's change.

That's Leo Wu. An old colleague. You don't know him? I'll tell you more later but I'm upset :( I was just thinking how nice would it be for you to be across from me but she just ruined it! Now, I miss you.]

Dominic's expression softened as if he could hear his wife's voice just reading her message. His displeasure regarding another man's presence around his wife gradually disappeared.

"Sir, why did you leave so early?" Dane looked back at the back seat as his boss just suddenly told him they were leaving. "There were still many things to address and spots we hadn't inspected."

"You can go back and check on your own. I trust you." Dominic didn't even look at his assistant as he spoke. "Heaven is dropping by the office later so she can choose her bodyguard. It's better if I'm in the office early."

"But…" Dane furrowed his brows, glancing at the driver. "This isn't the way to the office."

"I thought of picking her up and Basti so they wouldn't be late as well."

"..." Dane's expression turned blank, looking back at the person in the back seat.

Dominic already placed his phone back in his suit pocket, setting his eyes on the window as if he had all the time in the world.

"Boss, you have a meeting," said Dane helplessly. "We can't cancel it."

"Change the meeting location to the cafe near the learning center." Dominic didn't even think about his response, as if he already thought about it. "It's near the meeting location, so that shouldn't be a problem."

Of course, it wouldn't be a problem! But why?

Dane sighed helplessly, almost at the brink of insanity at the sporadic pattern his boss had recently exercised. Although his boss had been in an excellent mood for the past few days, Dominic became more unpredictable. 

"Did the madam ask you to pick her up?" Dane inquired out of plain curiosity. That was the only reason Dane could think of for Dominic to make a quick decision.

Dominic finally set his eyes back on his assistant. "Right. I should tell her." He nodded, fishing his phone out once again to leave her a message.

On my way.]

Heaven furrowed her brows as she read Dominic's new message. She didn't hear from him after her last rant, but she understood because he might be busy. However, she didn't expect him to come.

'Is it because I told him I was thinking about how he would suit the cafe's cozy theme? Or was it because of Leo?' her undereye twitched, raising her gaze at Paula and Leo. 'Nah. Impossible. He probably had a meeting nearby.'

Little did she know, Dominic's reasoning was a mix of both.
