The News of the Barbarian Invasion

*Knock!*

"Liliana, may I come in?"

Leon knocked lightly on the door of Liliana's workspace, his voice soft.

"Come in, Leon. The door is unlocked." Liliana's cold, indifferent voice came from inside.

Without hesitation, Leon turned the doorknob and pushed the door open.

As the door fully opened, he saw Liliana engrossed in a pile of documents on her desk.

"Am I disturbing you?" Leon smiled as he stepped inside.

Liliana lifted her head and shook it slightly. "No, you're not. I was the one who called you. Wait on the sofa for a moment—I'm almost done."

With that, she returned to her work, her expression serious.

Leon said nothing more and made his way to the sofa in the center of the room. Sitting on the left side, he leaned back and crossed his long legs.

His gaze lingered on Liliana's beautiful yet distant face. For some reason, her focused expression looked even more alluring.
