Chapter 22: Chapter 22
Before Leo started the car, he lightly stroked the corner of his lips, and smiled lightly.
Such Barbara finally looked a bit like three years ago. The car rolled slowly out of the parking lot and quickly merged into the noisy traffic of the city. However, the interior of the car was very quiet.
Barbara sat upright, and looked out of the window, she did not dare to look straight at Leo, but she could not help but look at him secretly. He was very serious as he drove, looking straight ahead, as if what had just happened had never happened.
Barbara roasted Leo in her heart, that Leo was really an indifferent man! Half an hour later, the car stopped in front of a skyscraper named Ferris Tower. Leo threw the car keys to the staff member and walked into the hall with Barbara.
Ferris Tower was 69 stories high, and was the tallest building in Europe when it was built. It was also the landmark building that had been in Barcelona for many years.
Ferris Tower was located in the most prosperous business center of Barcelona, there were many people and many tall buildings, especially on the top floor of Ferris Tower where the sightseeing restaurant was even more famous. Many visitors from other places would come in for tickets, sit quietly and enjoy a cup of coffee while enjoying the beautiful scenery of Fragrant River City, which was separated by the Barcelona River.
When Barbara first came to Barcelona, she came here with Freda. Just the entrance fee to this building was eighty euros, and there was no need to mention the price of the dishes in the viewing region.
However, even though it was expensive, there was still an endless stream of customers coming and going every day.
It was not even 8 p.m. today, but when they waited for the elevator, Barbara saw no one else. As Barbara was thinking, her hand was once again held by the warm big palm.
Leo held her hand, walked up the VIP Only, and rushed straight to the 69th floor. His hands were really very warm, or maybe it was because Barbara's hands were really very cold.
When he held her hand like this, Barbara really coveted the warmth he gave her. She raised her head and looked at him, and laughed, "Leo, you're inviting me here to eat?"
He faced the elevator door and stood perfectly straight. Just when Barbara thought that he wouldn't answer, she heard him say, "Mhm." It was only a light "Mhm", but Barbara felt that it was enough.
He spoke very little, and she knew it early. Not long after, the elevator arrived at the 69th floor. The place which used to be packed with people was now very quiet. Other than the staff members, no one else could be seen here.
The LOVE restaurant was surrounded by roses of all colors. In the middle of the room, there was a table, and on the table, the roses were arranged in the shape of a heart
."Mr. and Mrs. Young, this way please!" A beautiful female waiter came up to welcome them, although she was speaking politely, her gaze was not looking at Barbara at all.
The attendant's gaze practically glued onto Leo's body, as though she did not care that Leo had another Barbara by his side.
Barbara was a little unhappy, because the handsome man was so striking! The woman's gaze when looking at a handsome man was sim pler and rougher than that of a man when he saw a beautiful woman.
Leo suddenly stopped and looked at the female attendant coldly, "Have your manager come over."
The waitress laughed, "Mr.Young, I am the person in charge of this restaurant."
Leo frowned and said, "It's time to change the person in charge of this restaurant."
The female service personnel's smile instantly turned into a wry smile, but her professional standards still forced her to force out a smile, and she said, "Mr. and Mrs. Young, please come over here. I'll get the others to come over."
After sitting down, Barbara couldn't help but laugh out loud.Leo looked at her strangely, "What's so funny?"
Barbara forced herself not to laugh, and raised her head to look at him, "You treat all the women that love you like this?"
"Love me?" Leo raised his head, and said very straightforwardly, "I don't like her."
That female attendant had a really good figure. Ordinary men wouldn't reject her so easily. Perhaps it was the first time that the woman had been rejected in such an obvious manner, which was why her expression turned so unsightly in that instant.Barbara suddenly thought of what Freda had said, and couldn't help but look at Leo twice, ordinary men would not have the heart to reject beautiful women, so could it be that Leo really didn't like women?
Thinking about it, Barbara looked at Leo with a little probing gaze.If he really didn't like women, was that good or bad for her?The melodious music played. It was a tune that Barbara was very familiar with and liked, and it was Your Fragrance.
Listening to the song, Barbara couldn't help but hum along with the song.
Humming, Barbara felt an exceptionally gentle gaze focused, and raised her head to see Leo looking at her quietly. She smiled at him, "It's one of my favorite songs."
Leo signaled the waiter to pour them some red wine and raised his glass, "Do you want some?"
Barbara glanced at the wine, which was a bottle of Lafite produced in 1982. This wine was extremely expensive for a working—class like her. Normally, she would not have the chance to drink this wine, but now that she had a rich boss to treat her to a meal, she would definitely not miss the chance to drink it.
She clinked her glass with Leo's and said, "Cheers!"
Leo also said, "Cheers!"
Barbara raised her cup and downed the wine in it.
Leo shook his head helplessly, "The way you drink is wrong."It was not that he cared so much about the wine, but Barbara's way of drinking it was easy to get drunk and she did not seem like a woman at all. It was more like the wild Barbara that was hidden deep within her bones.
Barbara of three years ago possessed an incomparable vigor, and was brimming with youth; the current Barbara, was hiding all the vigor of three years ago, and she had an additional sense of tranquility.
Regardless of whether it was three years ago or even after three years, the only thing that Barbara did not change was her attitude towards life and her passion towards work.
Barbara was not done with her words, she instinctively licked her lips. It was originally an unintentional action, but in Leo's eyes, it was extremely alluring.
However, Barbara was completely unaware of this, and said excitedly, "This wine tastes pretty good, let's have another cup of wine before dinner."
This time, Leo stopped the waiter from pouring it, he personally poured it for Barbara and said, "Drink slower."
"Alright." Barbara answered, but her body did not listen to her, as she drank up the wine in her cup again.
" Okay Drinking wine on an empty stomach is easy to get drunk."
Leo waved to the waiter to bring the dishes over. He had someone prepare two pieces of fruit salad and fillet steak, both of which were cooked to perfection.
Now, it was almost 9 in the evening. Barbara had not eaten lunch, so when the steak was served, she couldn't wait to take action. However, when her knife and fork made a noise, Leo was quiet as if there was no movement.
