......
Leah chuckled unabashedly. "Thank you for the compliment, Gary. I will continue to work hard."
Gary's lips twitched. Who was praising her? He was obviously mocking her just now.
Leah, on the other hand, was unaffected.
Ernest could tell that Gary was mocking Leah. However, Leah was a strong woman, so she was easily able to retort back. Moreover, she did it so flawlessly and effortlessly, which amused him greatly.
Leah was awesome!
Ernest's lips twitched as well as he took Leah's hands and said, "You're really something."
"Why should we be modest? This is a type of self-confidence," Leah said with a smile, "Confidence is a trait that is necessary for success. How can we not have confidence? Isn't that right? Gary, Celeste?"
Upon hearing her words, Gary's lips twitched once more. He gritted his teeth and said, "That's right."
Celeste also forced a smile. They were in an awkward situation, but she knew that Leah meant no harm and was just making fun of Gary.
