The Soft-Hearted Wife of Mr. Big Shot-Chapter 122: She Just Wants to Claim Her Territory
December has arrived, and soon, Christmas, New Year, fireworks, all these beautiful and tender moments will come as promised.
Holly Sawyer sat in Leo Grant’s office, drowsy and sleepy. The heater was on in the office, and it was very warm, so Leo was wearing a short sleeve.
"If you’re sleepy, go take a nap."
Leo looked up from the pile of documents and chuckled at Holly’s sleepy appearance.
The young lady is truly adorable; even when she’s sleepy, she looks incredibly cute.
"No."
Holly murmured, shaking her head in refusal.
She was indeed quite sleepy, probably because the air conditioning in the office was too warm. She thought she’d open the window later to get some fresh air.
The higher a place is, the stronger the wind. Leo’s office was on the twentieth floor, and with each floor being around three meters, that would make it sixty meters high.
Anyone afraid of heights would surely tremble looking down from there.
"Anything you feel like eating?"
Leo asked again, thinking that eating something might help her feel better.
"Uh, no."
Holly shook her head; she wasn’t feeling hungry yet and could wait for a while.
She had gotten up early this morning to come to the company with Leo. While Leo handled the files, she sat beside him with headphones on watching videos.
Being able to be with Leo made her happy; her dependency on him grew stronger by the day.
Holly felt that she might soon be unable to do without Leo; when dependency grew stronger, it would truly be hard to be apart.
"Then you stay here obediently. When I finish with these files, I’ll take you out to eat, okay?"
Leo looked at Holly, his voice indulgent.
He wanted the young lady to sleep a little longer at home, but she didn’t want to; she wanted to come to the company with him.
"Mm, okay."
Holly nodded, lazily curling up on the sofa.
Uh, maybe she was here just to declare her sovereignty, to boldly hold Leo’s hand and walk into his company, into his office.
She had been here before, as Leo’s sister, but now her identity was different. She was Leo’s girlfriend.
Seeing their surprised expressions after learning that Leo was in a relationship gave Holly a sense of satisfaction.
"Why did you decide to come with me today?"
Leo asked. Usually, Holly was lazy; she did wake up early when it wasn’t cold, but once it turned cold, she became very lazy.
She liked to sleep in, snuggled in a warm quilt. Today, she got up early, which was quite unusual.
"Brother, actually, I just wanted to wander around. It’s been a long time since I woke up early."
Holly blinked, speaking earnestly as if it was indeed the case.
"Are you sure you don’t want to tell me the truth?"
Leo suddenly laughed, his gaze lazily falling on Holly.
The young lady’s words were not truthful; it was true she hadn’t woken up early for a while, but wanting to wander around wasn’t.
This young lady wasn’t the diligent type at all, was she?
"If I tell you, don’t laugh at me."
Holly gently bit her lip, looking at Leo and speaking slowly.
Leo would probably laugh at her, wouldn’t he?
Leo nodded, "Okay."
"Actually... I just wanted to declare my sovereignty."
Holly blinked, hesitating for a moment.
Uh, let them know that Leo had a girlfriend now.
Leo laughed softly; the young lady truly was adorable.
"You said you wouldn’t laugh at me."
Holly turned her face away, not looking at Leo, puffed up and huffy.
"I’m laughing because you’re cute."
The smile on Leo’s face had not faded; instead, it grew deeper.
The young lady indeed was especially adorable.
Holly said nothing, turning her face away from Leo.
"Come here."
Leo gestured to Holly, his voice exceptionally gentle.
Upon hearing this, Holly turned to glance at Leo, then quickly turned away, refusing to look at him.
"Then I’ll come over."
Leo put his work aside, holding his phone as he walked over, his voice gentle.
Since the young lady wouldn’t come, he would go to her.
The young lady seemed a bit upset.
Holly continued to ignore Leo, perhaps because Leo was too good to her, and now she was acting all haughty.
"Hold out your hand."
Leo sat next to Holly, looking at her warmly.
Holly pretended not to hear.
Leo chuckled and took Holly’s hand himself. After a brief struggle, she gave in.
"What are you doing?"
Holly’s tone was a little off, and she shot Leo a glare.
"Registering your fingerprint."
Leo opened the fingerprint registration system on his phone and seriously entered Holly’s fingerprint with utmost care.
Watching Leo’s gentle and careful movements, Holly lowered her head.
After finishing her left hand, Leo also registered the right hand with extreme tenderness and affection.
Leo thought it was necessary to register both hands, as fingerprints were hard to recognize when wet.
"Registering one hand is enough."
Holly watched Leo’s actions, blinking slowly.
Uh, she only registered one hand’s fingerprint on her own phone, but Leo was recording both.
Leo: "For safety, both hands."
Once the fingerprints were recorded, Leo also recorded Holly’s face.
"Fingerprints alone are enough."
Holly tilted her head to look at Leo, thinking that fingerprints were sufficient and facial recognition wasn’t really necessary.
Leo: "Double insurance."
There were no secrets in his phone, and Holly could browse it anytime she wanted. He welcomed her to check his phone.
To love someone is to present oneself unreservedly to her.
"Brother, you should register mine too."
Holly took out her phone from her pocket, opened it, and placed it in front of Leo, speaking slowly.
Since Leo had registered her fingerprint and face, she should allow Leo to register his fingerprint and face in her phone as well.
The relationship in love is equal.
"All right."
Leo grinned.
He registered his fingerprint and face in Holly’s phone, the smile never leaving his lips.
This was a form of trust.
"Do you want to take a photo?"
Leo played with the phone in his hand, looking at Holly and asking.
He’d wanted to have an official photo with Holly for a long time; he also wanted to declare his sovereignty.
"Why take a photo?"
Holly didn’t understand Leo’s intention. She blinked in confusion.
Why take a photo for no reason?
Holly didn’t particularly like taking photos; her phone gallery didn’t have many photos, barely a few could be found.
"A photo of the two of us."
Leo tapped Holly’s head lightly. Why was this young lady’s mind a bit dull?
The young lady was such an amazing person; her mind should be sharp, but Leo thought she seemed a bit silly.
