"Be, I apologize for being slightly distracted with my family matters," Leo said.

"Leo, I’m sorry to hear that," Be suddenly felt worried. Tell me about your family matters. Maybe I could help you resolve them," She sincerely offered help.

Leo chuckled, "Thank you, Be, but I don’t want to burden your already bustling life more. Also, I don’t want you to get sick again, hahaha….Anyway, I think it would be best if I handled it alone. So, I will handle it by myself..."

For a few seconds, Be was silent.

"If you say so. But, promise me something. Promise me that if you need my help, you will never hesitate to ask, okay?"

"Yes, I promise," Leo smiled faintly before he continued, "Boss, thanks for making my mind clear, and my heart feels light again. Now, back to the topic, I know what you did. You let them continue to troll us because you wanted to collect evidence against them, right?"

"Now, this is the Leo that I know of—a great observant and analyst. Yes, you are right. While they troll us, I secretly gather any evidence for ourprehensive retaliation. We don’t do things halfway." A confident smile slowly emerges from her beautiful face.

She continues, "Once I get enough evidence to throw them in prison, I will slowly release the evidence of that bitch’s dark past and dark attitude to the public through anonymous third or even fourth parties that are impossible to be traced back to me.

You know Leo, when I retaliate, I will ensure it will damage her reputation so much that she could never return to this country’s entertainment industry." Be said casually.

However, Leo, who listened to every word Be said with great attention, couldn’t help but fear and praise her simultaneously. ’Now you are back, Be... merciless to anyone who tries to mess with you! I would never want to be your enemy.’

A cold smile appeared on the corners of Be’s lips before she continued, "And my retaliation is not limited to Laura Kiels. Her manager will have a simr fate. He, too, will suffer my retribution..."

Be still remembered how Laura’s manager tried embarrassing her and Leo at Moon Coffee a few weeks ago. She wouldn’t let him go just like that.

Leo chuckled softly before saying, "Be, you know what? This is the same Be I knew when we met in college and when you, Jack, and Harper built the RDF Group. You have never let people get away when they have messed with you."

"Is that so!? I don’t remember that." Be smiles faintly. Her mind is blurry about her past self.

"Boss, you were and are still the most amazing woman I have ever met. You could have be a sessful woman if you continued to pursue your career after college. It really surprised me when you suddenly disappeared from us. I have always thought that if you had continued to thrive in the business world, you would have be this country’s most powerful businesswoman..."

Just hearing Leo’s words was enough to make Be smile bitterly because what Leo said was true. She abandoned her youthful dreams because her love for Tristan blinded her.

What Be hated about her past was that her feelings overpowered hermon sense. She was willing to ept when her inws and parents tried to manipte her and often verbally abused her.

This is what she is trying to fix now. She will not return to her past self.

Even if she falls in love with Tristan or another man again, she will never allow her heart to be blinded by her love for them.

She will never allow her feelings to cloud her judgment again.

She will never allow someone to manipte or abuse her again.

Never!

"Leo, what you said was true. But I don’t like to dwell in the past, so I hope you do the same. I’m returning now, so let’s only talk about the present and the future."

"Consider it done, Boss. I’m sorry if my mncholic words annoyed you. I just want to say that you are still young and have plenty of time to achieve your goals, Boss."

"I see. Do you think I have a chance to be as amazing as you said before? I mean, to seed in my career in this industry? Well, at least to achieve what Jack expects us to achieve!?" she asked.

"Of course! As long as I’m on your team, I can guarantee that. Hahaha. Let’s make Jack’s targets a sess!" Leo’s firm response made herugh.

"Hahaha….great way to guarantee long-term employment with me, Leo. Thanks for theugh, though."

"Hahaha, you are wee...I like working for you."

Leo continues, "But Be... please don’t get sick again. Don’t take all thepany’s burdens upon yourself. I’ve felt guiltytely because you’ve been handling everything while I’ve had plenty of time to do nothing. If you continue to do so in the future, you might as well fire me. There’s no point in me being your senior secretary in thepany..." Leo said seriously.

Leo had wanted to say this a few times but was always reluctant because Be seemed to enjoy what she was doing. However, after seeing her sick from exhaustion, he couldn’t help but express his thoughts.

Be’s heart warmed when she heard Leo’s words. She knew how caring and concerned Leo was for her.

"Thank you, Leo..." she faintly said. "You better prepare yourself to work even harder in the future; you might not have time to rest. And you can’tin to me. At least don’t expect me to listen. Hahaha."

"Hahaha, yeah. I get it, Boss. I’ve asked for it, anyway."

Even though Be wanted to say more, she felt drowsy — her medicine’s effects were starting to kick in.

Be ended the phone call and told Leo they would continue discussing the work tomorrow.

Once she turns off the lights and her cell phone, she lies on the bed and effortlessly sleeps for only a few minutes.

And she was sleeping like a baby.
