Stuck in you

William was smiling, but he could feel a cold chill rushing through his body.

He took out a business card from his pocket, handed it to Henry, and introduced himself. "My name is William Su. You can just call me William."

Henry accepted the small piece of card and took a look at it. He found out that William was the general manager of a magazine publishing company.

"William was my schoolmate," Lea said to Henry.

She was afraid that Henry would say something impolite to William, so she butted in quickly.

'A schoolmate?' Henry flipped the business card between his fingers. His lips then curved into a meaningful smile.

As a sign of respect, Henry also took out his business card and handed it to Henry. "My name is Henry Qin. I'm Lea's boyfriend."

William read Henry's business card. A trace of bafflement was apparent on his face. 'Henry is Lea's boyfriend?' he thought.

Rachel turned her head away because she couldn't bear to see the awkward expression on Lea's face anymore.

Lea knew what Henry was trying to imply when he emphasized the word "boyfriend" upon introducing himself to William.

Obviously, he regarded William as a potential threat.

As a matter of fact, Henry felt a sense of relief when Lea didn't refute his introduction.

Henry's name wasn't as famous as the Qin family, who ran a big shipping company.

Even though William was not a businessman, he was also familiar with the shipping company owned by the Qin family.

In short, the name "Henry" and the Qin family of Ninwell City were not so foreign to him.

William had his own resources as well.

After a moment of contemplation, William suddenly realized something strange. When Henry arrived, Lea didn't introduce him. In fact, they started to argue.

It was now clear to him that Henry showed up without Lea's knowledge. And since Henry emphasized to him that he was Lea's boyfriend, it was an indication that Henry was feeling insecure.

'I think he has misunderstood my relationship with Lea,' William thought inwardly.

Henry's attitude obviously proved his speculation.

William looked at Henry and said, "Actually, I just got back from abroad. I have been so busy that I haven't had the chance to catch up with Lea. And since I heard that she's going back to work tomorrow, I decided to ask her out." He then turned to look at Lea and continued, "I didn't know that you already have a boyfriend."

His last sentence indicated a hint of condemnation.

He was clearly implying that Lea didn't tell him that she was dating someone.

The truth was, William wanted to assure Henry that there was nothing going on between him and Lea.
