Everyone's words were fearsome, Barbara had experienced it firsthand.

If her colleagues in the company saw her sitting in New CEO's car to work, there would be kinds of rumors. 

So when Leo asked her to sit in his car to work, she didn't even think about it before she shook her head and rejected him. Although she was not in Leo's car, they arrived at the company about the same time.

While Barbara and a group of people were waiting for the elevator, Leo also arrived at the elevator specially reserved for CEO under the escort of two special assistants.

She wanted to pretend that she didn't see him, but she felt that it wasn't appropriate, so she greeted them politely, "Chairman Leo, good morning!"

"En!" Leo indifferently replied, and he looked around once before walking into the elevator. Leo's indifference did not extinguish everyone's enthusiasm, and they once again hotly discussed about this new CEO.

Barbara did not participate in the discussion, but she felt that it was kind of funny. Leo's public and private attitude was quite obvious.

At this time, she came up with an online word to describe him, male god.

Once she entered the company, Barbara immediately forgot the matter with Leo, and became fully immersed in her work.

Recently, Barbara and a few of her colleagues from the same department were busy preparing the bidding project for the Grand Corporation. Seeing that the bidding was about to start, Barbara became more tense, and she was so busy that she didn't even have time to eat lunch.

In the company, Barbara was famous for being a workaholic. It was common for people to not eat or work, and no one really cared about her.

But today, when Barbara was too busy, she received a call from Leo. Barbara looked around to see that there was no one around, then carefully picked up the call, "Is there something wrong?"

The implication was that when you were in the company, did not call her and did not let others know about their relationship.

Leo obviously did not expect Barbara to say this, and paused for a moment before replying, "It's true that work is important, but you cannot go hungry." 

He still looked indifferent, but it wasn't hard to hear his concern. Barbara turned blushed, and said, "Alright, I understand."

Leo, who was on the other side of the phone, did not speak anymore. Barbara did not know what else to say. 

Leo, who was on the other side, spoke at the last moment again, "I am in Room 1808 of the Lily Hotel."

Barbara nodded instinctively, "Then when you eat, I won't disturb you anymore.""

Barbara!" Leo's tone sounded slightly heavier, and after a few seconds, he said, "I'll wait for you."

"There's no need..." Barbara instinctively wanted to refuse, but before she could say anything, the other party had already hung up.

Looking at the darkened phone screen, Barbara frowned slightly before sighing helplessly. Was there any reason for her to refuse to have lunch with her newly wedded husband?

Lily Hotel was a five—star hotel near the company. It was expensive, and Barbara would normally not come here unless the company invited important customers.

When they arrived at Lily Hotel, Barbara was still hoping to not bump into some acquaintances, but she ran into Leo's special assistant Jannie.

Barbara wanted to pretend she didn't see her, but she stopped her, "Miss Barbara, Chairman Leo asked me to come and pick you up."

Barbara laughed awkwardly, and quickly caught up to Jannie. She and Leo were clearly a legal husband and wife, but now they acted like they were having an affair. They were really embarrassed.

Arriving at room 1808, Barbara saw Leo's other special assistant. Leo took the initiative to stand up and take Barbara's jacket, hanging it on a hanger at the side. He then pulled out a chair for her to take a seat, and said, "Jannie and Todd have worked by my side for many years, they already know about our matters."

Barbara nodded, she did not say a word, and only looked at Jannie and Todd for a bit longer.

Todd and Jannie nodded politely and left the room without saying anything else. Leo personally scooped a bowl of soup and passed it to Barbara, "All these years, I have been doing some business, so a few people follow around me."

Hearing him take the initiative to explain, Barbara was very pleased. In the morning, his servant made breakfast and sent it over. 

He was also accompanied by capable people like Todd and Jannie. His background was even more complicated than she had imagined.

Barbara didn't want to investigate further. After all, she agreed to marry him because she felt that this person didn't look so bad. 

It wasn't because of his family background.Barbara did not ask any further, and Leo also did not speak much either.

Furthermore, Leo had been taught from a young age that he could not speak while eatting or sleeping, and he was not used to saying too much at the table.It was very quiet at the table.

When both of them had put down their chopsticks, Leo then said lightly, "No matter how busy I am in the future, I will have to eat.

"Barbara nodded, "I will take note of it."Upon hearing her perfunctory reply, Leo was obvious dissatisfied, and he said, "Let's have lunch together from now on.

"Leo's tone sounded overbearing and forceful, but Barbara did not hate him. 

Looking up, she smiled at him, "Thank you for your concern, but...""Chairman Leo?" Leo frowned, "Since you called me Chairman Leo, then will you listen to me?"This man had used his identity to suppress her so quickly.

Barbara had been working at the innovation company's Business Department for three years, and she was considered a smart and astute person. 

Now she really did not know how to deal with Leo.Leo seized the opportunity and continued, "Then it's decided.

"Barbara didn't want to meet Leo covertly every day at noon, but she couldn't find any excuses to reject, so she nodded and agreed.She even found a reason to flee in a hurry.

When Barbara was hastily fleeing back, Leo slightly looked sullen. He subconsciously tapped at the table, as if he was planning something.

"Young Master." A woman around forty odd years old knocked on the door and interrupted Leo.

Leo looked up and looked over coldly, "Is there something?" The woman said, "Are these dishes to your liking?"Leo had a small obsession with cleanliness, he almost did not eat outside, but this Lily Hotel was owned by him. 

The elegant private dining room of 1808 was arranged especially for him according to his preferences, and his food was naturally prepared by someone else.

Since young, Leo's diet had always been taken care of by this woman, so she was the one who understood Leo's taste the best.

"From now on, I'll prepare two dishes for every meal. Less spicy!" Leo did not reply, but gave another order instead.

His eating habits were light, but Barbara's was spicy. She had never told him about this, but Leo knew it.

Walking out of Lily Hotel, Barbara looked around guiltily. Only after not seeing any acquaintances did she finally relieved. 

Having lunch with her husband and worrying about being seen by others, she felt that it was rather ridiculous when she recalled it later on. 

Barbara relieved helpless. If she knew that Leo would turn out to be the new CEO of the Wing, would she have married him so easily? 

At this moment, Barbara could not give herself an answer to this question, nor was she willing to think too much of it. 

Returning back to her office, Barbara received a notice from the department manager, telling some colleagues in charge of the bidding project to prepare properly. 

In the afternoon, they would discuss the project with CEO. TheGrand was a game development company and also a subsidiary of the Smith Group, a famous enterprise in London. 

TheSmith Group was one of the top enterprises in the country. 

There were a lot of companies that wanted to cooperate with them. Winning out from dozens of bidding companies was not easy. 

TheGrand was the most important project for the Wing this year. Leo had just become the new CEO, it was understandable that he would pay attention to the development of the project, but Barbara felt a little uneasy. 

Shewas already restless due to Leo's disturbance. She still had to work with him in the afternoon, so she was worried that her work would be affected by him. 

Barbara and her colleagues had reached the meeting room in advance and had prepared all the information they needed, but they were still in suspense. 

"Barbara..." Emily went close to Barbara's ear and whispered, "Everyone knows your ability, don't worry too much. 

"Barbara pursed her lips and laughed, but did not say anything. Emilywas also one of the members in the project team, but she was a girl who spoke sweetly did not work seriously, thus Barbara was in charge of a lot of things. 

The other male colleague, Jack, also leaned towards Barbara, "Barbara, with you leading us to prepare this project, there will definitely not be a problem. 

"Barbara said, "No matter what, we should be cautious."Barbara was the person in charge of this group. She had the most responsibility, and would always have more concerns than others. 

Furthermore, this was the first project that Barbara had worked on since she took office. Other than wanting to achieve good results at work, she also wanted to leave a good impression on her husband. 

In the future, when she lived with Leo, she definitely cannot let him look down on her."Chairman Leo... "It was unknown who shouted, but everyone immediately looked toward the door of the conference room. 

So did Barbara. Shelooked up and saw Leo leading his two assistants and walking in gracefully. At lunch time, Leo was dressed in casual attire, but he had changed into a handmade, silver—grey suit, a white shirt with a bottom edge, and a blue and white striped tie. 

"Hello, Chairman Leo!"Everyone stood up and greeted Leo. "Everyone, please take a seat." Leo said indifferently, then sat on the main seat and indicated Todd to start the meeting. 

Leo didn't even glance at her as she relieved. Infact, from yesterday and this morning, she could see that Leo had been much more serious than her on public and private attitude. 

SinceBarbara was the leader of the team, she would naturally be the one to introduce the details of the preparations for the project. 

Because she worked diligently, many of the details were done personally by her. When she analyzed the specific situation to the group of executives, including Chief Executive Officer, Barbara was not nervous. 

Not only was she not nervous, she was very good at it. Atthe end, Barbara received a lot of applause. Just as she was about to bend over to express her thanks. 

She looked up when Leo looked at her waywardly. SeeingBarbara looking at him, Leo smiled at her politely. Barbara immediately smiled at Leo politely in return. 

Since she wanted to do it for her own business, she was not worse off than him. Leo looked calm and cold. 

He didn't care about anything, making everyone feel slightly nervous. But luckily she was fully prepared, and Leo confirmed the work of her group. 

It was successful. At the end of the meeting, the project team members were very excited and forgot all the executives for a while as they walked. Jack put his hand on Barbara's shoulder,

 "Barbara, if we can take down the Grand, this project, is truly incomparably honorable." Barbara was also happy, for a moment she did not notice how intimate they looked, and she nodded with a smile,

 "As long as we work hard together, there is nothing that is impossible." "Barbara!"Barbara was stunned for a moment, then turned and asked politely' “Chairman Leo, are you looking for me?”

 "Barbara, you are the person in charge of the Grand Project's team. 

Chairman Leo still has some details he wants to discuss with you." The one who spoke was not Leo, but Jannie who was beside him. 

Jannie had worked under Leo for many years, so she was naturally very clear on what Leo was currently thinking. The CEO went to Barbara for the work, and the other members were all smart enough to quickly find an excuse to slip away, leaving Barbara alone by Leo's side. Leo walked closer to Barbara,

 "Barbara …"Barbara subconsciously took two steps back, keeping a distance between her and Leo, "Chairman Leo, what's the matter. 

"Leo moved closer to her, "At this time, I am Leo, your husband."Barbara retreated even further and looked at him, "Chairman Leo, this is business time." 

Upon hearing Barbara's, Leo frowned slightly, he was obviously a little angry. However, due to his good upbringing, he did not easily show his anger. 

After a while, he said seriously, "Barbara, although I am very clear that you are not related to that man, but seeing him embrace you intimately, as your husband, I will be jealous." 

Barbara obviously never thought that Leo would say such a thing to her. In an instant, she blushed, and in the end, she pursed her lips and laughed, "Don't worry Chairman Leo, this won't happen again." 

"Chairman Leo?" Leo squinted under the golden frame of the glasses, and he was truly angry. "Chairman Leo, go ahead, I will go down first." Barbara did not know that Leo was angry, so she turned to leave. 

Leo watched as Barbara entered the elevator, and looked even colder. "Chairman Leo, there are still a few documents that I need you to take a look at." Jannie timely warned. Leo walked towards his office and coldly said, "Are all you women so strong?"......

  Jannie was startled at first, but quickly recovered. "Barbara has experienced that kind of injury and betrayal, and has no one to rely on for the past three years. Just as she was speaking, 

Leo stopped and turned to look at her gloomily. Jannie immediately said, "But you will love her in the future."...... 

The meeting room was on the 23rd floor, and the Business Department was on the 19th floor. When the elevator reached the 22nd floor, the door was opened. 

Sally from the Public Relations Department walked in. Barbara did not like Sally, so she stood to the side, and did not want to greet. 

Sally glanced at Barbara and looked up, "Someone, don't think that no one would know of the ugly things that they did in the past in a different city." 

Barbara listened and decided not to waste her energy on Sally who could cause trouble. 

Barbara's indifferent attitude angered Sally, she turned and glared at Barbara, "Barbara, don't you know that our CEO is married?" 

Barbara pursed her lips and smiled. If she didn't know that Leo was married, then who else would? Sally wanted to hook up with Leo, so she thought that it would be the same for Barbara as well. 

Thus, she said, "CEO had asked Jannie to send an internal email this morning to announce to everyone in the company that he has got married." 

Barbara was so busy with the matter of the Grand Corporation's tender today that she didn't even look at the internal mail of the company. 

Now that she knew, she couldn't help feeling sweet.Leo said that when he saw other men being close to her, he would be jealous.

Thinking of this, Barbara laughed, and couldn't help laughing.It was unrealistic for Sally to fantasy about Leo. When she knew that Leo was married this morning, she turned cold. 

After being depressed for half a day, she wanted to invite someone to be depressed along with her. As soon as she thought of it, she thought of Barbara. 

She wanted Barbara to feel what she had felt, but Barbara was calm, making her angry. Sally angrily stomped. 

Gritting her teeth, she thought that she couldn't do anything to Barbara now, but there would be a day when she would know Barbara's weakness, making her unable to act so arrogantly. 

Because of yesterday's lesson, Barbara did not waste even a moment after getting off work today. 

She rushed home as quickly as possible, hoping to make dinner before Leo got off work. While going to the supermarket to buy ingredients, Barbara dialed Leo's number. 

When Barbara called, she found that Leo was having a temporary meeting with a few higher—ups. He raised his hand to indicate everyone to quiet down before he answered the phone. 

"What's the matter?"Barbara said, "I'm in the supermarket, do you have anything you like to eat?" Leo said calmly, "I am not picky with food, you can decide." 

When Leo said this, Jannie and Todd were already beside him. Hearing his words, they looked at each other at the same time. 

If their CEO was not picky with food, then there was probably no one in this world who was picky with food. When Leo returned home, he found Barbara busy working in the kitchen.

She was wearing an apron, and her long black hair was tied up in a random bun, revealing her fair neck. It wasn't hard for him to imagine her doing well at work when he saw her like that. 

Leo looked at her in a daze for a while before walking into the kitchen. "Barbara, I'm back." Barbara turned around and smiled lightly, "Go and change your clothes first, we will start eating soon." 

Leo stood there without moving, "Barbara..."Barbara did not stop moving, she turned around and looked at him, "What's wrong?" 

"I'm going to change." Leo had initially said that he wouldn't need her to cook after work, so he only asked servant to prepare the dishes. 

However, he felt that it wasn't bad eating the food cooked by his wife. He liked the life, that when he returned home from work, he would be able to eat food personally cooked by his wife, not everything was prepared by his servant. 

Barbara prepared three dishes and a soup. There was a sliced chicken, an onion fried meat, a fried lotus root and a golden needle mushroom soup. 

Noticing that Leo was only eating light dishes at noon, Barbara guessed that he liked light food, and cooked some of these common dishes.

 Leo changed his clothes and came out, the dishes were already on the table. 

Seeing the onion on the table, he frowned slightly, but very quickly, nothing happened. Barbara brought the soup up and scooped a bowl for Leo.

 "I've been busy all day, let's drink a bowl of soup first. ""Alright." Leo took the bowl and took a sip. Barbara picked up another onion and placed it into Leo's bowl.

 "Onion is very healthy, eat more.""Alright." Leo nodded.However, he did not immediately eat. Instead, he slowly drank the soup.

He finished one bowl and added another. He also ate a few pieces of White Chicken and Lotus Root Starch, but he did not touch the onions she put in his bowl. When Barbara realized this, she started to swobble with her head down, feeling sad. 

Barbara did not speak anymore, and Leo also did not like speaking at the table, so it was extremely quiet. After finishing his meal, Leo was in charge of washing the dishes. Without saying anything, he turned and returned to his room. 

She clearly knew that the relationship between them wasn't that close, but if she saw how much he despised her food, she would still feel sad. 

But she thought again, their marriage was not based on love, only for the sake of marriage. Although they were already hus band and wife, neither of them understood each other. 

Neither of them was close enough to help each other with food. She had been careless. In the future, she would try to respect him as much as possible and would never overdo again. 

After thinking it through, Barbara no longer bothered about the matter just now. She turned on her computer and prepared to take a closer look at the Grand Project's proposal. 

Friday was the opening date. With so many people busy for so long, they definitely could not allow to make any mistakes. 

Just as Barbara opened the folder, her phone rang. Barbara saw that it was her best friend, Freda. When she picked up the call, she heard Freda shouting angrily, "You damned girl, where are you? Why didn't you tell me about the move? Do you want to scare me? 

" Freda was Barbara's high school and university classmate. Back then, when Barbara had betrayed her family and friends, she was the only one standing by her side. 

Barbara decided to come to Barcelona to work. Freda did not even think about it, and dragged a simple luggage with her as she left the bustling capital city and came to Barcelona. 

She was worried that Barbara would do something stupid by herself. She originally wanted to accompany Barbara for two months, and only turned back to the capital after Barbara had calmed down.
