Chapter 278 You Like Dorinda Leon's sudden question made Aiden feel a bit embarrassed.
He scratched the back of his head and quickly finished the bowl of oatmeal.
"Leon, I don't know how to answer such a personal question." Aiden's shy demeanor already showed he had feelings for Dorinda.
"You like Dorinda," Leon said with certainty, and Aiden's face turned red once more, not denying it.
Leon opened his mouth, wanting to say more, but seeing Aiden's infatuated look, he couldn't bring himself to continue.
He sighed silently and said nothing more.
When Aiden snapped out of it, he found it a bit strange.
'Why did Leon suddenly ask him about this?' he wondered.
"Is something wrong with Dorinda?" Aiden asked cautiously.
Leon shook his head and explained, "Nothing's wrong. I just wanted to confirm your feelings for Dorinda. After all, we've known each other for so long, and she's the first girl you've had feelings for." "Maybe it's just meeting the right person, like you and Miss Grey. So I don't care about Dorinda's background or what she's been through. I just want to protect her." Aiden spoke his mind, and such a vow would surely move others deeply.
But Leon knew Dorinda wouldn't be moved.
However, Leon didn't want to discourage Aiden now. He decided to wait until the Global Nexus Corporation matter was resolved to have a proper talk with Aiden. What neither of them knew was that Dorinda hadn't left but was eavesdropping behind the door.
Dorinda understood the implication in Leon's words. He knew her feelings, which was why he asked Aiden that question.
Dorinda nervously tugged at her clothes, fearing Leon might send her away.

Dorinda's palms were sweating. She knew she couldn't hesitate any longer.

Meanwhile, in the study, Leon felt a vague sense of unease for sreason.
The next day, the Global Nexus Corporation event kicked off.
Tiffany and Lauren arrived at the scene. They didn't expect that within just half an hour, the place would be packed, with almost half the city showing up.
"It looks like this might be a bit tricky. With such a large crowd, if something goes wrong, there could be a stampede," Lauren whispered to Tiffany, her eyes filled with concern.
"Don't worry. We just need to find an excuse to move them elsewhere if needed. How's the company side?" Tiffany asked as they walked and observed their surroundings. "Edmund should be arriving soon." Once Edmund arrived, the company could start taking action.

But Edmund still hadn't shown up, and people were getting impatient.
"Why isn't he here yet? Is he trying to trick us? Is this all a big company's got?" "It's been almost an hour and a half. I'm just waiting for the new products." "Keeping us waiting like this, they might be regretting hosting the event with such a big crowd." Tiffany and Lauren were among the crowd, listening to the chatter.
Soon after, a luxury car pulled up at the event venue, and Edmund stepped out under the flash of the reporters' cameras.
As an Al robot, he had mostly operated behind the scenes and rarely received such attention, so his vanity was greatly satisfied.
He basked in it, letting the cameras capture him.
Edmund slowly walked onto the stage, carrying a laptop.
Ulysses followed silently behind Edmund, giving Tiffany a discreet "OK" gesture when he saw her.
Tiffany smiled.
It seemed everything was set on the company side.

Only then could everyone present hear the brainwave signal.
But before Edmund could make any further moves, Leon appeared with a large group of people.
"Edmund, you need to rein in your ambitions." Leon's words drew everyone's attention.
They thought there might be sgossip, so they were naturally drawn to Leon.
Edmund's face darkened.
He hadn't expected Leon to disrupt things today.
But now that Leon was here, he would make Leon just like Ulysses, being his slave.
"Leon, I don't know what nonsense you're spouting. This is a Global Nexus Corporation event. If youM cause trouble here, don't blme for calling the police." "Really? Does everyone want to see what Global Nexus Corporation is really up to?" Leon raised his voice so everyone could hear.
Could Global Nexus Corporation really be hiding something? If this was uncovered, it would be explosive news.
The reporters' cameras turned to Leon, and everyone waited for him to continue.
