Embrace Love's
CH 28'S. Abduction

Catalina looked at the kissing couple with great interest. The woman looked aggressive, moving seductively with her lips. While the man is just silent, motionless, expressionless.

Then Claude's eyes caught his, and soon the man turned his head back so that the woman's lips slipped. Catalina smiled amusedly, she deliberately cleared her throat.

The woman who kissed Claude looked surprised and immediately broke away from Claude's body. He stared and immediately harbored his shock at being caught off guard by Catalina.

"sorry. Is Leon ...." Catalina glanced at Leon who had fallen asleep in Claude's lap.

"Ah, she's asleep Cat. Sorry Tania, you can go. You know the exit" said Claude coldly as he stood holding Leon.

He waited for Tania to move away from his office. The girl looks reluctant.

"Can we meet at ...." Tania's words have not been cut by Claude.

"No. Stop all your efforts to meet me. I told you I forgive you, even thank you for what you did in the past. So go Tania."

Tania glanced at Catalina who was standing behind Claude. The woman's expression was flat, as if there was no jealousy, dislike or even curiosity for her, the one who had kissed Claude before her eyes.

Tania walked over with a sharp gaze towards Catalina and finally walked out of the room.

"Why is he looking at me like that?" ask Catalina.

"Where I know. Why didn't you ask him?" Claude replied casually and chuckled at Catalina who was pouting after hearing her words.

"Take him." Claude held Leon out to Catalina. Then he picked up a baby bag and pushed Catalina into a door in the corner of his study. After entering Catalina saw a fairly large break room. With a bed and a sofa.

"Take Leon to bed." Claude pointed at the bed with gray sheets in the corner of the room. According to Catalina, he put the sleeping Leon and confronted him with pillows on the side of the baby's body.

"Why did you bring him here?"

"I'll take him somewhere in the afternoon. So you can get straight out of here without having to pick her up first at the mansion."

"Why not say?"

Claude raised his head to look at Catalina. The girl instantly fell silent, realizing she had no right to ask Claude's wishes. He's just a paid employee to babysit Leon.

"The Leon company is here. I'll get back to work." Claude looked flatly at Catalina who did not continue his words. He went out and closed the door and sat down again and pursued the work he had done before Tania came in and disturbed him.

Catalina sat on the edge of the bed, looking around and not knowing what to do while waiting for Leon to sleep. He finally laid his body beside the baby. Looking at the severed and deep plump face. Catalina held out a hand holding Leon's tiny little fingers in her palm. He smiled and continued to look at the baby angel's face until his eyes dimmed and finally controlled by the unconscious. Catalina closed her eyes. Falling asleep with hands still intertwined in Leonard's little fingers.

Yoana looked at the beautiful girl who walked by wearing the latest design clothes from the famous designer of her company. He whispered to the manager who will handle the launch event of their latest cosmetic products and introduce the latest output of their designers.

"You sure you want to wear it?" Yoana whispers.

The manager was sure. "He's talented Miss Yoan. Confident and his manager Serge steered it very well."

Joanna looked sharply at the beautiful girl once more. Marilyn Seymour's. The biological mother of Leonard, has transformed into a beautiful girl with a good body who does her job earnestly and professionally. Or so their manager says. But Yoana was indeed a little surprised by the girl's achievement. His manager Serge proves his word that his girl will be amazing.

Yoana nodded once more at her manager and started leaving the place. Marilyn's eyes caught the figure of Joanna who was about to leave, as soon as she chased and called out.

"Miss Yoona," she called him half-run. Joanna stopped and turned around. Staring expressionlessly at the girl.

"I'm sorry, but can I ask you something?" ask her slowly with both hands intertwined in front.

"What?" Yoana stared haughtily.

"Um ... how is Catalina doing when you take Leon?"

"Did he look sad? at ... or is he angry?"

Joanna did not answer for a few seconds. Just looking at the girl made her misbehave.

"It has nothing to do with you. Aren't you just thinking about yourself? So why ask me about Catalina. You can check it out for yourself if you really want to know."

Joanna turned around and left Marilyn. He knows Marilyn spent Catalina's money extorting it. Catalina pays her sister with her personal savings, saying it is the payment of a married couple who will adopt Leon, only for Marilyn to keep Leon, Marilyn never wanted Leon.

That information was stored by Claude to blackmail Catalina into staying with them. Make it a weapon by reversing the fact that Catalina bought Leon to give to foster parents who would pay higher.

Yoana frowning. After getting to know Catalina he felt the Bernard family was the same as Marilyn. Using Catalina for their own benefit. Joanna took a deep breath. What can be done, the girl was involved in Leon's life, and Leon was Bernard's descendant, so inevitably Catalina had to endure this.

Yoana stepped quickly across the lobby towards the exit of the building. Vincent, who was still sitting on the lobby sofa, got up and was about to catch up with him when the sound of car tires squeaked in the office yard. A man came down and quickly caught Joanna. The woman's feet were dragged and the high heels she wore made her ankles bend and dislocate. Joanna screamed and held her body with legs that felt throbbing.

"Who are you! Vincee!" joanna's screams are strong.

DOR'S! DOR'S!

The sound of gunfire rang out in front of the lobby. The man who caught Joanna was shot in the shoulder. He cursed and immediately released Yoana then jumped into the car driven by his partner who was still waiting. The black car was speeding. Vincent ran in pursuit with a few shots towards the car which quickly disappeared.

Vincent's dark face made the gathered employees watch the incident that occurred within seconds of it retreat regularly. Vincent orders someone to pick up his car and soon he checks Yoana's oddly bent ankle. The leg must be pulled immediately, returned to its position. But Vincent doesn't know if Joanna can bear the pain.

Vincent holds the toe and base of Joanna's ankle. Without warning he pulled the leg into its original position. With a loud scream splitting the surrounding silence, Yoana collapsed, unable to endure the pain.

Vincent catches the unconscious Yoana and immediately holds her while waiting for their car to arrive.

"I can't drive. You're taking us to the hospital right now!" his orders were to the bodyguard behind the wheel.

"And you call Claude! Tell us to catch up with us to the hospital!"

A woman appointed by Vincent to carry out the order nodded quickly.

"Okay sir, but where does Mr Claude go, sir? I mean, which hospital?" ask the woman quickly. Because Vincent had gotten into the back of the car by hugging Yoona who was closed in his lap.

"Tell Eliza Hospital!" Vincent mentioned a hospital that had the closest distance from their office building.

After saying that, the car immediately drove. Vincent tightly hugged the petite body of the black-haired woman on his lap. He rubbed his jaw against Joanna's ear and whispered softly.

"I'm sorry ... Mi Pequeno*," he said with a very worried tone. Vincent closed his eyes firmly, resisting the angry urge that was clumping in his heart at this moment.
