She opened a wooden door and entered. There was a large expanse of lawn. Further in was a pavilion, a rock garden, a fountain, and a field of flowers …
Barbara followed Jannie and walked for a long time before she finally saw a three–story French style building.
The interior of the building was simply decorated, and it was a decorative style that was close to nature It fit perfectly with the style that Leo knew.
Along the way, Barbara couldn’t help sighing deeply. This place was as beautiful as a paradise, if she could live here often, she should be able to live for a few more years.
Jannie did not enter the room and instead stood at the door and said, “Since Chairman Leo is here, he will not let you stay in those normal rooms.”
Barbara thought, those guest rooms were also very expensive, okay? How was it ordinary? However, compared to this isolated villa complex, the guest rooms were nothing.
Jannie then said, “Mrs. Young, this is a private area. Others cannot enter, you don’t have to worry too much.”
Mrs. Young?
This was the first time someone had called her like that. Barbara blushed slightly as she heard this, “Jannie, you can just call me Barbara.”
Jannie laughed, “You are Chairman Leo’s wife, I can’t find a better address than Mrs. Young.”
Jannie’s
Wade Barbara blushed as they had not even held hands.
“You go in and rest, I’ll go first.” Jannie laughed and left politely.
Barbara stood in the large hall, looked around, and did not know what to do.
At this time, Leo walked in from outside and took the backpack that Barbara was carrying on her shoulder. He took the lead to walk upstairs, “The room is on the second floor.”
He was tall, but he purposely slowed his pace so that Barbara could catch up with him.
Barbara followed behind him and said, “Leo, can I discuss something with you?”
Leo opened the door and entered the room, placing Barbara’s backpack on the luggage platform.
Barbara, “…”
Alright.
Leo walked over to the window and pulled open the thick curtains. From the wide window, they could see the endless ocean, even the ocean and sky seemed to be the same.
Occasionally, the sound of waves lapping against the rocks could be heard, as if it were a pleasant piece of music.
Barbara sincerely exclaimed, “What a beautiful place!”

Leo said, “If you like it, you can come often.”
Barbara shook her head, “I don’t really like it.”
It was not that she didn’t like it, it was just that Barbara couldn’t bear to spend all the money she had painstakingly earned on this kind of place, so she didn’t want to spend Leo’s money either.
Although Leo had already given her a bank card, she had no intention to use it. If they divorced one day, she would be able to walk a little more easily.
Leo would tell what Barbara thought, but he did not ask any further, and said, “Let’s go eat first, after eating and rest for a while, in the afternoon you still have to participate in department events.”
Barbara nodded, “Ok.”
After a while, Leo said awkwardly, “Barbara, if you want to take a bath in hot spring tonight, you can come back and soak in the private hot spring pool here.”
Barbara instinctively shook her head, “I’ll just go and bathe with everyone.”
Leo spoke seriously, “No men would want to see his wife wearing skimpy dresses for other men to see.”
Uh…
Barbara suddenly felt that Leo’s masculinity was beyond normal. Even if he did not love her, if others kept looking at her, he would still be angry.
After a nap, Barbara finally joined the group. Emily said enviously, “Barbara, you are really lucky to live in a luxuri district.”
illa
Barbara said, “It’s not that convenient to live together with the Leader.”
The leader she was referring to was Leo, but Emily nodded in agreement as she thought the leader was Jannie, “You are right, it is more interesting to play together with acquaintances. Why don’t you sleep with us tonight?”
“Forget it.” Barbara did not dare to agree. What if Leo himself came in the middle of the night to carry her?
In order to have a good time, the HR department has prepared a lot of fun activities. They were divided into red, blue, yellow, and green teams according to their respective departments.
The first activity was a beer contest.
Filled a large two–liter glass with beer. A man and a woman each drink a straw. The last group to drink up received the punishment of taking a big risk.
Each team took the initiative to invite their department manager to accept the challenge.
In the first match, Barbara’s Red Team won first place in the tournament, and after the Yellow Team finished drinking the wine, their members accepted the punishment of taking a big risk.
As the Yellow Team was receiving their punishment, the CEO arrived and for a while, he became the focus of everyone’s attention.
Leo indicated everyone to continue playing, while he sat down by the side, quietly watching the competition.
When the CEO came, everyone restrained themselves. However, when the host announced the second game, everyone put

aside their reservations.
The second game was the apple game.
Hanging an apple on a rope, the four groups selected a man and a woman, starting from the two sides of the apple, and the last group was subjected to the cruel punishment of being drenched in ice water.
Barbara had contributed greatly to this project, so the members of the Red Team pushed her out to accept the challenge.
Barbara could not help glancing at Leo guiltily. He looked unfathomable, and he walked over.
Jack from the Red Team also took the initiative to stand out, wanting to fight with Barbara.
At this time, Jannie also looked at Leo, but what she saw was different than what Barbara saw. She immediately clapped and said, “Does anyone want Chairman Leo to come and play as well?”
Everyone wanted to, but no one dared to cause a ruckus. Since Jannie had spoken, then everyone would be bolder.
Everyone shouted out, “Chairman Leo! Chairman Leo! Chairman Leo!”
Amidst the shouts from the crowd, Leo finally stood up after a long while. He looked so cold, as if he was forced to accept the challenge.
Seeing him walk off the stage, Barbara kept praying, hoping that he wouldn’t pick her. However, Leo just happened to walk in front of her.
“Wow!” The crowd screamed in excitement.
The girls were all regretful. If they had known that the Chairman Leo would participate, even if they were to be drenched, they would try their best to obtain this challenge.
Different from their excitement, Barbara looked down, not even dared to look at Leo.
The host shouted, “Get ready!”
The other three members immediately approached, they glued to the apple that had fallen between them.
Barbara kept her head down, thinking that she should just admit defeat. However, Leo suddenly whispered, “Do you really want to lose?”
