My Billionaire Ex-Husband Chase Me Back - Chapter 343

Chapter 343: Congratulations Bro!
When he heard his own words, Leo suddenly felt like war drums were resounding in his heart.

‘Damn! What’s with the stutter? Calm yourself down, man!’ Leo tried to calm himself, worried that Dana would hear how loudly his heart was beating.

“Okay, Leo. I will come with you,” Dana said hurriedly, not wanting to disappoint their Boss. “Is there a dress code for me to wear?”

A spring-like smile instantly crossed Leo’s face when he heard her agree.

“No dress code. You can wear anything you like. I trust your fashion sense.”

“Okay.”

“I will come to your place at eleven. See you…” Leo said. He ended the call without giving her a chance to say anything because he was too nervous she would change her mind.

“Damn! Why are you so nervous like this is your first time wooing a girl, Leo Smith? Why??” He spoke to himself while standing from his seat.

A wide grin spread across his face as he walked to the bathroom.

He was looking forward to the lunch party and needed to prepare to pick up Dana.

Before long,

Neat in his white slim-fit shirt and pastel trousers, Leo didn’t waste any time. He decided to drive to Dana’s house despite being one hour early. Better early than late, right?

After ensuring his hair was neatly arranged, he grabbed his cell phone and exited his bedroom.

“Leo, buddy, it is too early to leave now. It’s not even ten yet. There’s still no one at the Boss’s house. I think… we should come fifteen minutes before eleven. Not too early, but still could help prepare the Boss’s party—”

Sam’s voice came from the living room, stopping Leo.

Leo was speechless to hear his words. Before he could say something, Sam spoke again.

“You want to help Boss Bella prepare the party, right?” Sam slightly raises his brow, confused to see him go out now.

“Yeah, sure. But I must stop somewhere else first. That’s why I must head out now—” Leo answered calmly. Try not to raise Sam’s suspicions.

“Bro Leo, you want to go early? Why? Are you going to pick up someone?”

Suddenly, Stefan’s light and happy voice could be heard from the kitchen. He appeared with a bowl of crackers and walked nonchalantly to the seating area to join Sam on the sofa.

“N-No…” Leo tried even harder to maintain his calmness when responding to Stefan’s sudden questions.

In his mind, Leo cursed and was simultaneously impressed with Stefan.

‘This brat could become a detective if he is curious about something,’ Leo thought.

“Oh, I see. So you will go straight to sister Bella’s house?” Stefan asked again.

“Yeah. Sure.” Leo answered while smiling.

“Wait! What the hell—” Sam suddenly chimed in. “I still remember you saying you wanted to stop by somewhere else earlier. Why now did you say you will go straight to Boss Bella’s house?” he asked, confused.

‘Fuck!’ Leo couldn’t help but curse these two inwardly.

He started worrying because these two numbnuts bombarded him with many intelligent questions, distracting and confusing him, luring him to an honest answer.

After a deep sigh, he responded, “Well, YES, Ugh… I mean, NO. I need to stop by somewhere else before going to Boss’s house,” Leo answered, praying they would not ask him again and just let him go.

He didn’t like it when they started interrogating him because they would not stop until they heard a satisfactory answer.

Leo felt relieved when he saw them exchange glances and then ignore him. Leo quickly turned his body toward the door.

However,

Just before Leo could continue moving his feet, Stefan’s words caught his attention again.

“Aah, I know… I know… I know…you must be heading to pick up sis—”

“No!” Leo stopped him from continuing. He knew this chatty Stefan wanted to mention Dana.

Leo didn’t want anyone to know he was going to Dana’s house. He feared they would tease him early in the morning, and he couldn’t handle it. These two seemed to have ways of making fun of him or acting like clowns when it came to his romantic life. They constantly tested his patience.

“Oh, I see. So you are not going to pick up sister Harper—” Stefan continued with a teasing smile slowly appearing on his lips. It was fun to tease this big bro.

‘Fuck! I should just say yes. Why did I forget about Harper? I could use her name instead, right? I’m an idiot!’ Leo once more, venting his frustration inwardly.

“Yeah, no,” Leo said calmly, clenching his fist. “Guys, I have to go now. Please, just mind your own business. Stefan, keep eating your crackers, and you, mister big guy,” he turned his gaze to Sam, “Keep watching your sports news. See you at the party, guys—”

Leo said while continuing to walk, but with only one step, he almost stumbled upon hearing Stefan’s following words.

“Wow!! I get it! If it’s not Harper, then it must be Dana. So you will pick up Sister Dana!? Seriously, bro?” Stefan narrowed his eyes on Leo.

Leo, “….”

Stefan saw Leo freeze, not saying anything, his wide-open eyes clearly showing how shocked he was.

The way he looked, and his sudden awkwardness made it crystal clear that Leo must have wanted to pick up Dana. He suddenly felt a twinge of jealousy, seeing his fellow housemate now had a girlfriend.

“Uhmmm…Y-Yes?—” Leo answered, his mouth betrayed his mind. He instantly scolded himself for exposing what he wanted to hide so easily. He shrugged while rubbing his eyebrow.

“Wow, Dana will join us for the lunch party?” Sam asked. “I thought you told me you won’t ask her to come?”

Leo had no choice but to admit it, or these two clowns would make him late with so many random and trap questions.

“Yes, yes. I’ve asked her, and she has agreed to join us. Of course, I had to invite her…” Leo said calmly. “You guys heard it too, right? Bella insisted Dana should come. How could I not comply with the boss’ request?”

This was the best excuse he could find in his chaotic mind.
