Leonel has never been this angry facing Chloe. When he sat in the car and drove to the office, his frustration didn't subside. Even the conversation between him and Ester was brief. He didn't care much about Ester's sour expression when she exited the car. Even Ester slamming the door didn't divert Leonel's attention.

"Sir, I've checked the documents that need your signature. Here you go," Deborah had been standing there since earlier, holding the awaited files to be handed over to the finance division. Unfortunately, her boss didn't pay attention to any of the tasks presented on his desk. He leaned back with closed eyes, but Deborah knew he was deep in thought.

"Oh." Leonel opened his eyes, immediately banishing the image of Chloe occupying his mind. "Did you check everything? Make sure there are no mistakes." Leonel quickly shifted his focus to the papers Deborah handed him. He promptly placed his signature where required, next to the marks Deborah had already made.
