Aleigha answered perfunctorily with a smile, "Yes, I found a separate office space."
After saying that, she lowered her head and looked at her shoes.
Lennon understood what she meant. He just didn''t know what he had done to push her away from him. "Aleigha, is there any misunderstanding between you and me?" Lennon reached out to hold her hand. However, she dodged in a hurry. He held his hand awkwardly in the air for a moment, then slowly lowered it. "No. It''s just that I''m with Adrian now. I don''t want to cause any unnecessary trouble."
Aleigha rubbed her shoes against the wet snow, looking absent-minded.
"So you still chose Adrian. I thought you were different from the other girls."
Lennon''s tone of voice was full of sarcasm, and his attitude changed.
Aleigha raised her eyebrow and looked at him. It was the first time that she had looked at him
coldly.
Her eyes made him ufortable.
"Yes, I''m just a vain woman. Please get out of the way, Mr. Landry."
Aleigha pushed him away and went straight to the office building.
Lennon stood rooted to the spot with mixed emotions. He didn''t know why he had said that. Maybe he was just too angry.
He knew that Aleigha was not a vain woman. But he couldn''t take that back.
Aleigha entered herpany. All the employees were packing. They had toplete the move in a few days, so it was a lot of work.
Aleigha wanted to give them a hand, but her phone rang untimely.
It was from her ssmate, who reminded her not to forget the ss reunion tonight.
Aleigha wanted to say no, but her ssmate said she was looking down upon them if she didn''t go.
In the end, she said yes and went to the party.
It was in a high-end music restaurant equipped with all kinds of entertainment.
Aleigha was wearing simple clothes without makeup. As soon as she came in, she drew a lot of attention.
When she entered the big private room, she didn''t see many ssmates.
It seemed that she came early.
"Wow, why isn''t you wearing a dress or makeup? Aren''t we worth dressing up for?" asked Phoebe Robertson. Phoebe was not from a strong family, but her father was in the coal business and had a lot of money. Aleigha didn''t know until school started that the students in her grade came from very different families. Some of the students came from wealthy families, and some came from ordinary families.
Aleigha was put in a ss with rich ssmates because of herst name.
Everyone in this ss knew about the Gardner family as well as the rtionship between Aleigha and Adrian.
Still, some of her ssmates liked to mess with her. They thought she was just a pushover because she didn''t talk much. "It''s just a ssmate gathering, isn''t it?"
"Wow, looks like you didn''t really want toe. It''s so cold, why don''t you just go home and use the heat?"
Phoebe looked at her fancy dress and red at Aleigha. Then she turned around with a snort.
Aleigha sat in a remote corner, ying with her phone while having snacks.
Soon, people came one after another, and the private room became more lively.
The waitress brought the menu, and someone gave it to Aleigha.

She casually ordered a few dishes that she liked, then handed over the menu to another one.
"I''m done."
She was polite, modest and didn''t put on airs as a youngdy.
She looked quiet, but she was a legendary.
It was not just because of Adrian. All her male ssmates thought she was different.
She was way more than just beautiful.
In the eyes of boys, other girls standing next to Aleigha were just like ugly ducklings.
Phoebe had had contact with Emilia before, so she knew a bit about Aleigha.
She kept telling everyone that Aleigah was from the countryside. In the end, everyone had had enough of her.
In fact, she was not even invited to the party, but she insisted oning.
After a while, the waiter began to serve the dishes. The food ordered by Aleigha was really good.
Phoebe, who was eating what Aleigha ordered, cursed Aleigha in her heart.
The atmosphere was quite harmonious. It was the first time for them to have dinner together.
All the talk was about Aleigha, and the other girls had be her sidekicks.
There was a handsome boy, Zaire Mcfand. His height made him stand out among the men.
His parents were government officials, and his grandfather was a businessman.
There were many girls who liked him, but he had silently loved Aleigha for two years.
He had a few drinks today, so he became a little impulsive. He told Aleigha how he felt about her.
Aleigha raised her ss and clinked it with his as if nothing had happened. "I think we should just be friends. "Lovers may be separated, but friends are for life. What do you think?"
Zaire looked at her and suddenly came back to his senses. He raised his head and drank up the wine in his ss. Seeing this, Phoebe was so angry that she wanted to explode. Everyone knew that she had a thing for Zaire.
What was happening was like a p in her face!
"Zaire, forget it. She''s Adrian''s woman. They must have had sex a million times. Why would you like her?" said Phoebe.Content is ? by N?velDrama.Org.
The atmosphere in the room immediately became really awkward.
Zaire gave Phoebe a hard look and turned tofort Aleigha.
"Aleigha, she''s crazy."
Aleigha smiled faintly. "It''s okay. Everyone knows about the rtionship between Adrian and me."
Phoebe snorted coldly, but reached
into her bag. Then, she took out a
small pill and secretly put it into her pocket. She looked as calm as if nothing had happened.
However, Aleigha saw it.
What she had been through made her wary of everyone.
The party went on. Phoebe walked through the crowd talking andughing.
Aleigha sat there in silence and observed her every move.
