"Alright."
After hearing Leon's refusal, Jerry couldn't help but sigh, then scratched the back of his head awkwardly and said,
"Since you've got things at home, you should head back first. Once the director wakes up, I'll help you request some time off from her..."
"No! That's not necessary!"
Hastily putting away the photos on the table, Leon carefully scrutinized the woman who came to report, pondering over her relationship with Anna as he spoke,
"Things at my place... aren't really urgent. Why don't I first ask questions with you, senior, and then head back?"
"That works too..."
Seeing Leon's sudden change of heart, Jerry raised his eyebrows in surprise, but when he noticed Leon's unblinking gaze at the woman, he gave a knowing smile.
*'Stop dreaming!'*
He reached into his pocket, rubbed a certain anomalous object capable of soul communication, and stealthily nudged Leon with his elbow.
