Chapter 230
Catherine's POV
It was Leo. He was wearing sunglasses and a cap, so no one would have recognized him.
"Leo!" The moment Leo took off his sunglasses and cap, Roxanne almost pounced on him for a hug.
Leo ducked quickly to one side. Roxanne did not get to throw herself into his arms, but she did not mind that at all. Instead, she said excitedly, "Sorry, I was too happy to see you. Leo, I didn't scare you, did I?"
My heart skipped a beat when I saw the scene just now. Roxanne might cout a bit strong.
I knew Leo was a bit of a neat freak.
"It's fine. Please sit down!" Leo said politely after calming down.
Roxanne then sat down happily next to Leo without hesitation.
Then, like a young girl in the first flush of puberty, she put her hands to her cheeks and stared at Leo without blinking.
Leo was a little helpless, and I could see the reluctance flash across his handsface.
I sat aside. To lighten the mood, I quickly took Leo's glass and poured him swater.
"Have swater first. I've ordered the food already. It will be served soon!"
Leo quickly reached over and took a sip of water.
I looked over and saw that Roxanne was completely absorbed in her world. I cleared my throat and asked in a slightly louder voice, "Ms. Carroll, do you want swater?"
Roxanne heardand cback to reality. She said politely, "Sure. Thank you!"
I poured her a glass of water. Then I asked, "Ms. Carroll, about Leo's movies, which one is your favorite?"
"All of them. I've watched every movie he made more than ten times!" Roxanne replied happily.
Ten times?
It was a truly staggering figure.
I was shocked. Then I sized up Leo and said lightly, "Is he that outstanding? As far as I know, he is simply more handsthan others!"
Roxanne disagreed. "He's not just handsome. Every character he played was so charming, responsible, and macho!"

When Leo heard what Roxanne had said about him, he quickly explained, "Ms. Carroll, I guess you got it wrong. You're talking about the role I played, not the person I am. I need to create the kind of temperament that the audience likes. I usually play the male lead, so I'm bound to overshadow others. That's the way it is, and it's just a show we put on for the audience. In reality, I'm not as good as you imagine. If you don't believe me, you can ask Catherine. I'm a very casual person."
I could tell that Leo was asking for help. I nodded quickly. "That's right. He is casual, and he is also very lazy!"
"And I am a playboy," Leo said.
I was a little stunned. Why did he want to ruin his image?
"Yes, that's right, he is. He likes to flirt with young and pretty girls." I could only echo and continue making up stories.
Roxanne was already dumbfounded. Her big eyes flickered as tears welled up in them.
"No, Leo, you are not that kind of person. I believe you. You are just like the roles you played," Roxanne said while trying to restrain her emotion.
Leo pointed at himself and said, "I'm not like what you think. Try to stay rational. I get that you like the parts I've played, but it's not smart to be obsessed with me. Don't you think so?"
Roxanne suddenly reached out and took Leo's arm, pressing her face against it. "But I can't help it. I like you. I see you as my boyfriend. Leo, I cfrom a first-rate family. Will you consider me?"
Leo could not for a moment free himself from her grasp. He looked atwith pleading eyes.
I was shocked by Roxanne's actions. I got up and went to pull her away. "Ms. Carroll, don't be like this. Leo is very busy, and I have gone through a great deal to get him to cover and dine with you. You
don't want to scare him away, right?"
I motioned Leo to run with my eyes.
Roxanne calmed down after listening to me. She quickly took out a tissue to wipe her tears. "Sorry for that."
When Leo heard what Roxanne had said about him, he quickly explained, "Ms. Carroll, I guess you got it wrong. You're talking about the role I played, not the person I am. I need to create the kind of temperament that the audience likes. I usually play the male lead, so I'm bound to overshadow others. That's the way it is, and it's just a show we put on for the audience. In reality, I'm not as good as you imagine. If you don't believe me, you can ask Catherine. I'm a very casual person."

Leo chuckled. "Are you worried about me?"
"If anything goes wrong today, Blake will be mad at me." I sat back in my seat, full of regret.
Leo was a little disappointed. He said, "I'm hungry. I want to wait for the food!"
I looked at him strangely. "Aren't you afraid of Ms. Carroll?"
"Why should I be afraid of her? She is just a woman!" Leo curled his lips lightly.
Meanwhile, Roxanne returned. She dared not to act recklessly this time.
The steak was served, so we started eating.
"Did you order swine? I want to have a drink!" Roxanne suddenly said.
I was shocked. A drunk woman could be very troublesome.
"Ms. Carroll, I'm sorry. I still have work to do in the afternoon. I can't drink with you. Maybe another time," I said gently.
Roxanne did not make things difficult for me. She smiled, "I'll drink alone. You don't have to drink!"
I frowned. Roxanne called the waiter and ordered two bottles of wine.
Roxanne poured herself a glass of wine, then she turned to Leo with a smile, "Will you drink with me?"
Leo nodded. "OK!"
I got worried instantly. I said to Leo, "Don't you have something to do in the afternoon as well? Maybe you shouldn't drink."
Leo said lightly, "I'll be fine. I won't drink too much."
I was speechless. I didn't like drunk people. I was so glad that I tagged along today. Otherwise, if Leo got drunk, and something happened between him and Roxanne, he would hatewhen he woke up.
I sat there and watched the two of them drinking away.
