THE BILLIONAIRE IS INFATUATED WITH HIS EX-LOVER
Chapter 40: Spy in LT

Leon had planned to propose to Jee during the party, but Henry's arrival shattered his plans. Throughout the night, Leon couldn't sleep, tormented by the image of Henry close to the woman he loved. Could Jee genuinely not feel the depth of his love for her?

Despondent, Leon stared blankly at his phone; Jee had never initiated contact with him, not even once. Did she hate him that much?

Suddenly, Mark's voice came from outside.

"Miss Jee, the CEO is inside. Please wait a moment while I inform him."

Jee politely agreed, but before Mark could enter, Leon's voice followed.

"Come in, don't be shy."

Jee sat down, placing her glasses on the table. Her demeanor was calm as if she had forgotten the previous night's events. Leon maintained a quiet facade, formally asking her. "What brings you here today?"

Jee spoke slowly, her heart exceptionally that Leonh would accept her requests. Now that he knew Lina was their daughter, he was even more eager to reconcile with her. And to achieve that, he had no choice but to fulfill all her demands to win her favor.

"I represent the LT cosmetic brand, so I need detailed information about the products to introduce them to customers. I can't promote a product without knowing about it, as that would undermine the clients' trust in me and the product." Leon thought this was a minor request and replied.

"I'll have Mark send you the necessary product information."

"Do you think understanding a product is as simple as reading about it? I want to visit the manufacturing plant."

Surprised by her request, Leon realized that Jee, who typically showed little interest in him, was keen on his business. Nonetheless, besides their connection, they were now business partners. Without hesitation, Leon agreed and took Jee to the factory.

The LT factory truly sprawled vast, rightfully earning its reputation as a giant in the cosmetics industry. It housed everything from a dedicated research department and manufacturing facilities to an area for cultivating medicinal herbs. From its inception, LT has continuously expanded, far outpacing its competitors. Leon, though outwardly aloof and unapproachable, possessed a sharp business acumen. His projects had never failed. This time, he invested significantly, aiming to position LT as the leading global cosmetics brand.

Upon entering the production area, everyone had to wear a full-body specialized suit, making it difficult to recognize even acquaintances. Notably, the research experts were committed to long-term work and lived on-site. Company policies strictly regulated their meetings with family and friends.

These stringent measures by LT were designed to prevent any leakage of confidential information about the products, especially new ones. It was evident that Leon operated with meticulous caution and vigilance.

Jee had recently studied extensively about LT cosmetics, trying to grasp and memorize the entire production process. However, it was genuinely challenging due to the many stages involved. She kept a camera in her purse, intentionally cutting a small hole for the lens and strategically placing her wallet at the most advantageous locations.

Thinking continuing alongside Leon might lead her to be discovered, she excused herself to the restroom and headed in another direction.

As she was lost amid the myriad of conveyor belts and machinery, suddenly, a man gestured for her to come closer. He pulled her aside, gently lifting his hat to reveal an aged face with a deep crow's feet around his eyes. She recognized him as her father's former assistant, Mr. Scott.

"Why are you here?"

He motioned for her to keep quiet, looking around carefully.

"I've been working here for nearly a year. LT had a major hiring drive, and a friend helped me get in."

"Does Leon know you're here?"

"Leon and Mark typically conduct all hiring rounds through direct interviews, but for some reason, Leon didn't show up that month, and neither did Mark, so I wasn't discovered."

During that period, Leon was so preoccupied with searching for Sara and their child that he neglected his work. Each night, Leon drowned his sorrows in alcohol, with Mark staying by his side.

After discovering that Jee was Sara, he brought her to a location purportedly processing a particular product during the launch of LT's new product line. It turned out that the cream made from herbal extracts was just a precursor; the most crucial product was an exceptional perfume line named "My Girls." This product was set to hit the market in about a month, and LT was particularly enthusiastic about this project.

Since the Roberts family went bankrupt, Mr. Scott, like a dog without a master, was determined to exact his revenge on Leon in his way. He infiltrated LT's product formulation team, attempting to steal confidential information to ensure Leon suffered a bitter defeat.

However, Leon had anticipated such issues and thus had each team member assigned to specific, isolated tasks with minimal information gathering. Staff working in distinct areas were not allowed to move between them. Mr. Scott was frustrated by this arrangement but dared not speak out for fear of revealing his identity.

With the opportunity at hand, Jee quickly took pictures of the product. If this information were sold to other manufacturers, LT would suffer significant losses, potentially leading to bankruptcy.

While Jee was taking pictures, someone entered the room. Scott signaled her to hide in the restroom while he stayed to handle the situation. Recognizing the voice, she knew it was Mark.

"Next month is the CEO's birthday, and this product will be officially launched. From now until then, we must ensure that nothing goes wrong. If there are no setbacks, this perfume brand promises to make LT a dominant market leader, and then everyone will look at us with admiration."
