Chapter 1448: Chapter 1448: I underestimated you!
"What a coincidence... brother."
Justin Battleson looked at Leon Battleson with a calm and direct expression, his eyes cold.
"By the way, I wonder if you are satisfied with this collaboration with Worsen?"
The sarcastic and mocking words had barely left Justin’s lips when he noticed a slight stiffness in the smile at the corner of Leon’s mouth.
Leon then turned his head, took a glass of champagne from a tray held by a servant, and tilted it slightly towards Justin.
"Of course, since it was designed by Miss Thompson, how could there be any dissatisfaction?"
The less his smile reached his eyes, the brighter Leon’s smile became at the corners of his mouth.
Finally, whether intentionally or not, he cast his gaze on Charlotte Thompson’s face and praised, "Miss Thompson, you look truly beautiful today."
"After watching the entire show today, I realized that the dresses designed by Miss Charlotte are truly exquisite and perfect."
Then, Leon completely ignored Justin by his side, continuing to speak only with Charlotte.
"It’s rare to see someone as beautiful and talented as Miss Charlotte!"
This left Charlotte a bit at a loss as to how to respond to Leon’s words.
Although Justin’s expression remained calm, there wasn’t the slightest hint of displeasure in his eyes.
He certainly didn’t like Leon getting close to Charlotte.
And Leon, of course, knew exactly what would upset him, so he naturally did the opposite.
"The collaborative clothing line launched by Miss Thompson has been well-received by many. I wonder if I still have the honor to continue collaborating with Miss Thompson?"
Leon looked at Charlotte with his tall and straight posture, and as he smiled, the shadows between his brows softened significantly, adding a touch of vitality to his fair complexion.
Realizing she was squeezing her fingers a bit too tightly, Charlotte gently pinched Justin’s palm.
"Collaborating with Worsen is indeed a great thing, but can Worsen withstand the termination in the next storm?"
Justin smiled while looking at Leon, and his words carried a faint hint of sarcasm.
Finally, Leon’s smile slightly faded. He raised his glass, as did Justin.
After clinking glasses, they each took a sip of their drink, each lost in their own thoughts.
"I didn’t expect that you could actually fire George Robbins from the company."
Leon took a step forward, moving closer to Justin, lowering his voice, "I underestimated you."
However, Justin merely curved his lips slightly and didn’t say a word in response to Leon.
This attitude made Leon quite displeased; he simply kept watching Justin, and finally, his gaze landed on Charlotte’s face again.
"I want to ask if Miss Thompson knows someone?"
Charlotte, mindful of Justin’s reluctance to engage with Leon, still looked at him out of politeness.
"Who is Mr. Battleson referring to?"
"Seems to be an actor, and looks somewhat like you."
Hearing Leon bring up such a topic, Charlotte’s eyebrows twitched slightly.
Could it be that the actor Leon mentioned was...
"Charlotte."
Fortunately, Annie Anne’s voice interrupted Charlotte’s thoughts, and she breathed a sigh of relief.
She didn’t know why, but during interactions with Leon, she always felt a strong sense of oppression.
