Chapter 786 Tacit understanding
Chapter 786 Tacit understanding
Although there is no concrete evidence yet, based on my understanding of the director, there is a 90% chance that she played a role in this!
After picking up another piece of fish, Leon made a judgment and did not immediately go to the director to ask for clarification. Instead, he chewed the fish without any taste, frowned and thought carefully.
If other people chose to conceal the truth, I would definitely ask for clarification immediately so that I can intervene in time to avoid any consequences that would be too late to regret, but the director is an exception.
Judging from her character... or her very low moral standards, if she encountered a situation that she felt she could not handle, she would never try to be tough at all. She would immediately use all the means she could and mobilize all the strength she could.
She would do whatever tricks worked, such as throwing tantrums, playing dirty, using dirty tricks, and tripping others up. In short, as a director who has always been pragmatic, her moral integrity when it comes to "real business" is absolutely bottomless, and there is no possibility that she would bite the bullet and take on things.
As for whether it would be embarrassing to do so, whether the means were cruel or not, whether it violated the rules or not, these were not considered at all. So if she was planning to hide something from herself, she should have the confidence to solve the problem alone and judged that it was okay without the intervention of others.
What's more important is that if I ask her, I might get teased in return. She'll chase me and ask me what I saw, then laugh at me for having lustful thoughts, and finally deny the question I asked...
Tsk... She didn't plan to do this, worried that I would confront her after I found out the problem, so she made a fake memory with such obvious loopholes? It seems like she is determined not to tell me!
However, just as Leon frowned and thought hard about how to get the truth out of the red-haired director, Anna, who was sitting at the dining table, couldn't help but reach out and pat his arm.
"elder brother."
After calling out, the thin girl asked with a little concern:
"Is there something wrong between you and Sister Veronica?"
"???"
After hearing Anna's sudden strange question, Leon's eyebrows raised in surprise, and then he asked back in confusion:
"Anna? Why do you ask?"
"Because... you look like you have something on your mind, and..."
After looking at the almost finished fish stew on the table, and then at the other two dishes that were barely touched, Anna couldn't help but worry:
"Besides, you haven't seen Sister Veronica for such a long time. After you came back, you went to hand over your work first, and then came home for dinner. You didn't say you were going to go see her, so I was wondering if there was something wrong between you two..."
"No, you are overthinking."
After hearing the thin girl's concerns, Leon couldn't help but laugh. Then he put down the spoon and scooped up the yam paste while answering:
"It's not that I don't want to find Veronica, but it's too early to find her now."
"too early?"
"Ah."
After filling his mouth with a spoonful of yam puree topped with blueberry juice, Leon explained with a smile:
"Veronica is a workaholic with a very tight schedule. She basically works until after 1 a.m. every day. Although I can visit her during the day, it will inevitably affect her work, so it's better to go there at night... Hmm, this mashed yam tastes really good."
"So that's it..."
After listening to Leon's explanation, the thin girl couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Then she looked at her brother who was digging yam paste and complained with a slightly helpless expression:
"So, because you don't want to delay her work, you just don't go?"
"what?"
Looking at his sister with a strange expression, Leon couldn't help but ask in confusion:
"I will go, didn't I just say that? I just want to go in the evening..."
"Going right now!"
"Um...you don't know her habits. She must not have finished her work yet..."
I don't know her, but I know women!
After slapping Leon's hand that was about to scoop another spoonful of yam paste, the thin girl complained with a headache: "You left right after the wedding. You haven't seen each other for more than a month. You're not in a hurry. You want to wait until you're free in the evening to go... That's Sister Veronica. If it's another woman, you'd better prepare to be single for the rest of your life!"
"No, you don't understand the situation. Veronica is busy with work recently. I..."
"I don't need to understand the situation, I just need to understand you!"
After giving her eldest brother, who was still trying to explain, a cold look, Anna picked up the plates in each hand and immediately started to chase them away:
"You should get out of here. Melanie wet the bed yesterday and was so embarrassed that she got up in the middle of the night to change your blanket. It's still not dry. There's no place for you to sleep at home today!"
"what?"
"Go, go quickly!"
……
"what happened?"
Just when a prince was cruelly driven out of the house by his sister and had to stop a carriage in the night wind, the queen, who was working overtime frantically, raised her head in confusion and looked at her lady-in-waiting with some puzzlement.
"Is there anything wrong with the letter I asked you to return?"
"No no."
After hearing Queen Veronica's question, the young lady-in-waiting quickly shook her head, then blinked her big eyes and whispered a reminder:
"But if this letter is returned, according to the reply details you proposed, the Ministry of Highways will definitely have to redraw the plan and contact you to reconfirm it overnight. Then you will be busy today..."
"Is there anything wrong with being busy?"
“Well… that’s not wrong, but… but hasn’t the airship that His Excellency the Prince was on already returned? In case Prince Leon comes to see you…”
"It's okay, it's still early."
Upon hearing this, Queen Veronica first glanced at the clock on the table, then lowered her head again and replied casually while reviewing the documents:
“Leon is estimated to be here around half past one, so don’t worry and return the letter. It won’t affect his coming to see me.”
???
After hearing Queen Veronica's rather confident answer, the young female official couldn't help but be slightly stunned.
Seeing that His Majesty seemed so confident, Prince Leon must have sent someone to contact her and arranged a meeting time in advance... But I was on duty all day, why didn't I know?
"Because no one has been here before, the time just now was just my guess."
After understanding the young lady's doubts, Veronica stretched out her body, feeling a little tired. Then, while moving her body, she explained calmly:
“Although Leon does things without any scruples, he is actually a person who takes ‘business’ very seriously. He will never disturb others when they are busy with business, even if I am his wife.
After receiving the "local specialties" he got from the North, the speed at which I work determines the speed at which the North receives the supplies. This is a very important "serious matter", so he will definitely wait until I am done before coming over."
It turned out to be the case.
After listening to Queen Veronica's explanation, the young female official nodded in sudden realization, and then couldn't help smacking her lips, feeling a strange sweetness in her mouth.
It's great. Even though there is no communication, I can still know what the other person is thinking. This is probably the kind of tacit understanding between husband and wife, right? Tsk tsk, my cousin and Prince Leon are so...
Huh? Why is there a man outside the window? And... why does he look exactly like Prince Leon?
