As the saying goes, it’s not just about the dog; it’s also about the owner. For Carl’s sake, I was determined to take down this dog today. I grabbed Leo, who was about to defend me, and pulled him close, holding his neck affectionately.

"Felix, I've wanted to complain for a long time. Why does it seem like your brain is connected to your rear end, making all you do is talk nonsense?"

"I'm guessing you're upset because Carl is being secretive, and you resent me for being with him!"

"I'm sorry, truly sorry for Carl. I didn't tell him the truth. Please let him know I fainted from the injection and won’t bother him again!"

I leaned delicately against Leo, twisting my hips as I walked out the door, feeling almost weightless. Behind us, Felix continued to shout helplessly and angrily.

It wasn't until I reached a secluded spot that I straightened up and lowered my head in embarrassment. "Mr. Norris, I apologize. I got a bit carried away just now. I didn't mean to drag you into this."

Leo smiled and replied, "It’s nothing. I actually enjoyed myself today."

Seeing that he didn't mind, I felt relieved; he must interact with women often. Just as he pulled out the keys from his bag, Carl called. His voice was so angry it rose an octave.

"Mia, if you dare go out and hook up with other men, I swear I’ll break your legs!"

"I can play around with you if you pay me. Why are you being so harsh?"

"Why aren’t you saying anything? Mia, I’m coming to your house right now to warn you. If you really cheat, I’ll make sure you regret it!"

I scoffed. "Are you the Pacific policeman with such weak control? Maybe you should focus on your own cheating problems instead. Be careful; if your spouse catches you, they might give you a good beating!"

"You better not come over, or I’ll make sure you wear a cuckold belt right in front of me!"

I hung up the phone and turned to Leo, who had seen my changing expression. I felt a little embarrassed.

Leo smiled and nodded. "As expected from a top-notch assistant, you’re quite eloquent."

I suddenly felt my cheeks flush and couldn’t find the words to respond. He glanced at my door and added, "Sorry, I didn’t mean to overhear your conversation, but are you okay?"

At that moment, I bit my lip and looked at him with a pleading expression.

"Mr. Norris, could you come to my place for a bit? I’m feeling a little scared."
