My Sugar And Your Spice Chapter 231-235

Chapter 231
The man had short hair and a square face.With his thick lips tightly pursed, he had a very deep gaze that seemed to harbor infinite emotions.Matthew came to sign the contract after receiving the phone call. The only reason he came to Julia’s office was because of this.After she mentioned that Amelie and she were friends, Matthew did not even think about how Amelie managed to become friends with the head of Starlight Media and only wanted Julia to hook him up with Amelie.The more awkward thing was what he said to Amelie just now.Although he did not mean to show off, now that he had heard their conversation, it all seemed like a big joke.Did I say that I wanted to marry the wife of Starlight Media’s boss? I even stated that I would support her financially, huh? My job is given to me by her. Why would I say such a thing?!Matthew nearly slapped himself out of embarrassment.You shameless embarrassment!“Mr. Larkson?”Just as Matthew was pondering over this, someone called him from behind.Turning around, he seemed dumbfounded, as he was still stunned about his newfound identity of Amelie.The person calling him was the law department personnel, who gestured at him. “The contract is ready now.”He then walked in while the two people inside saw him walking over.Julia’s eyes glimmered, as Matthew looked at Amelie with a disappointed expression and forced a smile before following the personnel to the smaller meeting room.Using her eyes, Julia hinted to Amelie that she was leaving to sign the contract.Amelie then nodded, walking to the balcony that had a coffee machine installed.Breathing in the outside air and enjoying the natural breeze, she leisurely sipped on the coffee she brewed herself.Night fell.In Mercury Bar, an expressionless Leo walked in with Toby accompanying him. Leo’s smile created a stark contrast between the two.The bar had a nice name, giving it a sense that it would be a quiet and relaxing place to have a few drinks with a live singer adding to the atmosphere.Yet, they were almost sent stumbling backward by the deafening sound of the music as soon as they opened the door.“Is this James person right in the head? Talking business in such a noisy place?” Toby tried his best to take in his surroundings while showing a slightly disdained expression.The dim lights, heavy metal music, less than savory crowd plus the people onstage that were dancing maniacally made it seem more like they had entered the valley of death instead.The

moment Leo opened the door, he also frowned and had the same expression as Toby.Yet, after a mere two seconds, he regained his calmness. His expression appeared just as stoic as before.Toby turned around and looked at him only to see Leo taking in his surroundings nonchalantly.He had to admit that Leo was better than him in this regard. Even in this kind of environment, Leo can still keep his cool and not be swayed. This isn’t easy to accomplish.Toby knew that he could not do it. It seems like James wants to use this environment to disturb our thoughts and get the upper hand in the negotiation, eh? He’s going to be disappointed then.He could almost imagine how defeated the big, blonde businessman would look.In the end, it was the same as what Toby predicted, for Leo maintained his sharp demeanor. Not only did he not lose, but he even managed to turn the tables around and forced the opposition to give a five percent discount.Although it might not seem much, a five percent discount dealing worth a billion was astounding.Seeing James sign the contract and leave with a defeated expression made Toby smile. He looked at Leo, who was unaffected by his chaotic surroundings. “We didn’t have to negotiate on the base price anyway, yet you still chose to do it. Why? Did you want to punish him for his trick tonight?”Not denying this, Leo finally frowned deeply to express his disdain toward the place. “You can wrap this up.”He then took his coat and left.Taking long strides, he seemed very proper and distant.After looking at Leo’s silhouette for a while, Toby turned around and started packing the documents.Then, he walked out only to bump into someone.That man was so drunk that he did not even move upon bumping into Toby.Although Toby was upset and frowned slightly, he still pushed the person aside politely. “Sir, you’re drunk.”“I-I’m not drunk!” That person waved his hands around.Not wishing to entertain a drunkard, Toby pushed him aside, wanting to leave.However, the man tugged on his shirt. “Elie, please don’t go. How about we have a chat?”Toby was speechless because he hated drunkards, but the name ‘Elie’ seemed to have glued him onto the spot.Although Toby was unsure whether the person was calling out to the one whom Toby thought, he was sure that they had nothing to do with each other but still found himself drawn to the name.At that moment, he only felt that he was pathetic and laughable.“Elie…” the man called out. “We grew up in the same village. I have liked you since the first day of meeting you in school. Even after you rejected me, I was never disheartened. I kept working hard to make sure that I could match up with you, but now… I only

found out how laughable I am! You’re the boss of Starlight Media! I’m just some small-time business owner who even has to depend on your help! I really am a fool that doesn’t know his limits.”Toby, who was hearing the man speak, did not react until the words ‘Starlight Media’ was uttered. It was then a spark flashed in his mind and connected a lot of incidents.Finally, a conclusion emerged within him. He was dumbstruck!Starlight Media’s Elie could only be Amelie! She… She is the real boss of Starlight Media! How many secrets is Amelie hiding in that tiny frame of hers?The man who had drunk himself into a stupor was none other than Matthew.This was the first he got so drunk, and everything he said came from his heart. Even if he was wasted, something was clawing at his chest, making him feel awful. He gripped his shirt tightly.After a long time, Matthew stumbled away.Meanwhile, Toby only left after Leo’s chauffeur came to call him.Finally, there was some peace and quiet outside.Coming out from the noisy and polluted environment in the bar, no matter how bustling the street was, Toby still felt like it was paradise.Toby then saw Leo standing under a tree with his hands in his pocket.His gaze was a well of endless depth that nobody could disturb.Suddenly, a prank popped into Toby’s mind. If I expose who Amelie truly is and tell him the woman that treated him so whole-heartedly is not only beautiful and kind but also possesses an incredible capability, what kind of blow would it be to him?“Leo,” he called out to Leo with that in mind.Turning around, Leo was a bit upset. “Why took you so long?”Without waiting for Toby to answer, Leo rubbed his temples. “Let’s go.”He walked toward his car.“Amelie!” Toby suddenly stated, which made Leo look at him with curiosity.Although he did not speak, it was obvious that Leo was waiting for what Toby was going to say.“She’s…”

Chapter 232
“She’s?” Leo asked.Toby suddenly smiled. “Leo, looks like you’ve really fallen for her, haven’t you?”If not, then why would he be so sensitive to what I said?Staying silent with his dark eyebrows seeming extra heavy in the night, Leo seemed very solemn.Pursing his lips, Leo slowly matched his gaze. “So what if I’ve fallen for her?”This stunned Toby.What appeared in his eyes was understanding and surprise.He thought that Leo would deny it like the last time or keep silent.At least he admitted to it.“Hahaha.” After a split second, Toby suddenly laughed.Yet, Leo only stood there and watched him laugh with a frown, not asking him anything.This was what Leo was. Even if the opposition had already touched on his emotions, he could still remain calm and collected.This was why he was successful and was the characteristic Toby detested.At that moment, he had the urge to tear Leo apart when he recalled how Leo actually hurt such a wonderful woman before.A woman that, for him, would hide her skills and humble herself!“Leo, you best not fall for her,” Toby stated.“Reason?” Leo asked.He was a leopard that was observing his prey and dissecting its every move and action.Leo could see that Toby had something else to say.Yet, Toby only kept a smile on his face and did not say anything else.Even if his smile was the same as ever, Leo could clearly feel a chilling aura coming from it.The next moment, he turned around and got into his car, driving away, leaving Leo standing there.…“Mr. Alston.”Deep in the night, Victor came to Leo’s office.Dressed in black, he looked as if he was almost fusing with the darkness and moved through the night like a specter, his wide hat concealing the emotions on his face.Leo sat on the chair, deep in thought.It was until Victor called out to him that he stood up.“Are you sure the information you gave me last time was correct?” he asked.A bit confused, Victor then realized that Leo was talking about the dossier on Amelie.“It’s correct,” he answered. “I, Victor Willis, am a man of my word. If I can’t dig anything up, I’ll lower my head and apologize to you, but I’ll never give out false information.”Leo placed his hands on the table while looking at Victor.Even though this made him shorter, it did not make him seem weaker.As to who was the employer and the employee, one could tell with a single glance.“What I meant to ask is that did anyone give you false information that even you yourself missed?”“That’s impossible.” Victor was confident.Upon hearing that, Leo only nodded before

opening his drawer.Then, he threw something on the table. “Take a look. Is it this dossier?”Reaching out, Victor took it and only glanced at the cover. “It’s not.”“It’s not?” Leo was a bit surprised.Waving the dossier, Victor stated, “All dossiers prepared by me would have my signature on the side. This doesn’t have it.”He pointed at the side of the dossier, which was as thin as a hair’s breadth.“This is my special mark. Normal people wouldn’t notice this.”With how thin the line was, even if Victor did sign on it, a normal human would not be able to see it.Taking back the dossier, Leo used the magnification features of his phone’s camera only to find no such mark on it.Does this mean someone switched out the information?“I still have the information. If you want, I can send it again,” suggested Victor.Saying nothing, Leo slowly put down the dossier, as his fingers dug into the top of the dossier.Who would be so fearless as to change out the dossier right under my nose?After Victor left, he sat down again.This time, his eyes were nearly closed with only a cold gaze emanating from the slit of his eyes. It was a sharp, cold, and piercing gaze.Although Toby did not say anything that night, he still realized that Amelie’s real self might be unlike what the information suggested.I think she still has something that I don’t know about.This was why he questioned Victor, who proved him correct.The thing he was curious about now was what the real Amelie was like.Pondering this for a while, Leo decided to call Eugene. “Check this date and see who came to my office.” He then gave him a date before hanging up.…In the room, Elyse was drawing her eyebrows.During this period, she had been casually throwing out the fact that she had been in contact with Leo all to let the public know that even though they were not couples, they were still close friends.Thanks to her ‘sister’, Leo did not trouble her, nor did he reply to her.Since nobody dared to ascertain Leo’s stance, they did not dare to look down upon her. Although deals and resources were not pouring in, they were starting to talk in a more polite tone to her.Using this opportunity, Elyse decided to leave Donia’s company and establish her own firm.Not only is my cut of the share low under this company, I even have to be discriminated against!I, Elyse Clayton, will fight my way to stardom and show them what I’m truly capable of!Elyse began to draw her eyebrows more elegantly with that in mind while saying to her new assistant, “Find a random picture from my phone and upload it later.”“Do you want to choose one with Mr. Alston in it?” the assistant asked respectfully.Elyse glanced at her. “Is that a question?”At that, the assistant quickly walked out.Yet, just

as she opened the door, she walked back in.Vexed, Elyse asked, “What else?”“It’s…” The assistant walked up to her and tugged on her arm.It was only then that Elyse felt something off, and she placed her makeup brush down before looking toward the entrance.Standing there was a man, whose fair face had a cold expression, fixated on her with an unknown gaze.Although it was a stern look without any emotions in it, it still made Elyse panic, as she stood up with her hands on the table.“Leo?”She called out, forgetting to even change her tone to a gentler one.Leo rolled his eyes, seemingly responding to her.He then looked at the assistant, making Elyse understand what he was hinting at. “You can leave first.”Looking at Elyse, the assistant then looked at Leo.Leo had a dominating aura about him that was very oppressive. If that assistant continued to stay there, she knew she would suffocate because of it.Even though she was worried about Elyse, she chose to leave in the end.In the room were only Leo and Elyse.Elyse asked him, “Why did you suddenly come?”After her perfect image crumbled in front of him, Elyse did not dare to act so casually with him, as she even spoke carefully.“How’s your sister?” Leo asked.His question made Elyse frown. “Same old.”She then sighed.“When she got separated from my father, we didn’t know what she went through. Nowadays, she’s as timid as a mouse. She even gets frightened by the slightest of movements. Even my father and I have to be careful when delivering her meals to her. Sigh. I don’t even know when she’ll get better.”“Did you find a doctor?”“I did. But the doctor said that mental issues were tricky to heal. The treatment won’t be done in the short term, and he did not guarantee its success either. He only told us to stay with her and see if a miracle appears.”“If so, then I can go accompany her.”“That’ll be great… What?”Elyse, who only thought that Leo would only casually ask about her sister’s condition, realized what Leo meant after she nodded in agreement to his statement, and her expression stiffened.Going slightly pale, she was shocked.
