Domineering Mr. CEO and His Impudent Love-Chapter 2354 - 60: Deliberate Suppression

Leslie Howard didn’t dare let her cousin see her in this state, much less let her cousin know David Redington was now in her room, on her bed.

So, after getting out of bed, Leslie put on her pajamas, looked down at the love bites on her neck, then put on a bathrobe overcoat, and pulled her long hair down over her ears to cover her neck.

She checked herself in the mirror, and seeing nothing unusual, she hurried to open the door.

Fortunately, the angle from the door only showed part of the bed foot and not the entire room.

Leslie stood at the door and took a quick glance. Seeing that David wasn’t visible, she turned around and opened the door.

"Cousin, just leave the stuff, I’m still sleeping..." Leslie feigned a yawn as she opened the door, reaching out to receive the shopping bags as soon as the door opened.

Unexpectedly, the hand passing over the items wasn’t seen, but instead, a face full of disdain and obvious displeasure appeared.

"Winona Wallace..." Leslie recognized the person outside the door, a streak of surprise flashing in her eyes.

"Why are you knocking at such a late hour? Aren’t you going to get your beauty sleep?"

"Hmph... You think everyone is like you, content to just sleep their way through the day without any ambition? I have a kissing scene to shoot with David tomorrow, and I’m rehearsing the script."

Winona snorted coldly, her eyes full of disdain.

Here, there was no one else, just her and Leslie Howard, no need for pretense.

Leslie, fresh from the embrace of the man who had a kissing scene with Winona the next day, couldn’t help but smirk at Winona’s words.

She tightened the collar of her bathrobe, leaning against the door with a smile, "Oh, really? Actually, you don’t need to work so hard on rehearsals. After all... whether you can kiss David tomorrow is still up in the air. Winona, I told you last time, David isn’t that easy to kiss, remember?"

Leslie’s wavy hair cascaded over her shoulders, and the face that moments ago had been loved by a man was lightly flushed with a rosy allure.

In Winona’s eyes, it was the epitome of an infuriating vixen!

Winona sneered, "Who do you think you are, just because you shot a few intimate scenes with David the other day you think you’re untouchable. To be honest with you, the reason I’m here today is to deliver a message from the company."

Nothing good comes without a reason, and clearly, Winona’s visit was bad news.

Leslie looked at her, not very patiently, "What’s the matter?"

Winona: "Irene Stephenson, she won’t be able to accompany you for a while, because she has to manage a newcomer from the company. I’m here to inform you of this."

It’s a notification, not a negotiation.

This was already a decision made by the company.

Even though Leslie knew Winona’s visit bore no good news, she still frowned in displeasure.

"Irene is my cousin and has always been my agent. She’s been by my side all these years, so why suddenly transfer her away?"

No wonder her cousin hadn’t visited tonight; she must have been stopped on the other side.

"I have no idea, it’s all the company’s arrangement," Winona chuckled, "Why don’t you call Auntie? Maybe Auntie can give you an explanation."

The Auntie Winona spoke of was Leslie’s mother, Sheila Fletcher.

Her heart was all set on Winona, and she would never explain anything to Leslie.

Even though Leslie knew from early morning that her mother’s heart was biased, being so biased as to tear even her cousin away, leaving no one by her side, could only be the work of her mother, biased toward Winona to the point of wanting to please her.

Leslie didn’t need to ask; she could guess that Winona was displeased seeing Leslie thrive in the crew and was trying every possible means to suppress her.

And the first method she thought of was to transfer her close cousin away.
