Chapter 168


    Is This How You Treat Clients? Hints of coldness and anger appeared on Aidan’s face as he lifted his


    gaze to look at Elijah. “Get lost.” Elijah nced behind him, then looked back at Aidan and said slowly,


    “I heard you calling Leanna’s name. Do you know her?” “It has nothing to do with you.” “It doesn’t look


    like Leanna wants to see you, though. If that’s the case, why are you so aggressive?” Aidan sneered.


    “Did she personally tell you that she doesn’t want to see me?” Elijah fell silent. It was true that she


    didn’t say anything about it, but her reactions were clear as day. Even so, Elijah had no intentions of


    backing off.


    The stalemate was about to be broken when Aidan caught sight of a figure at the side. He said


    indifferently, “Zoe.” The figure froze before it ran even faster. Aidan’s voice turned colder. “Gigi.” Zoe


    was at a loss for words. She felt that this name would stick with her for life. Zoe didn’t dare run away


    anymore, fearing that the lowlife named Aidan would settle the scores with herter. Sheughed dryly


    and went over reluctantly. “Haha, fancy seeing you here, President Pearson. I thought someone called


    my name, but I never thought that it’d be the handsome President Pearson. Your brilliance is too


    blinding, and I almost couldn’t see you.” Jonathan felt that Zoe was even better than him at buttering


    Aidan up. After Elijah calmed down, he asked, “Zoe, do you know President Pearson?”


    The woman was about to answer when she suddenly remembered her ns of match-making Leanna


    and Elijah, so she couldn’t possibly let him know that Aidan was Leanna’s ex-husband. She seemed to


    be tongue-tied, unable to say a word. Just then, Jonathan walked up at the appropriate time. “Miss


    Hart, I was the one who contacted you earlier.” Zoe was stunned. “Earlier?” Jonathan said specifically,


    “About half an hour ago.” Zoe was speechless. She was wondering how the lowlife had managed to


    find this ce, but she soon realized that he had tricked her.


    This information shed through Zoe’s thoughts for a few seconds, and she said to Elijah, “President


    Pearson is a client of our studio, and he’s asked Nana to design a ne… Elijah, you can go back


    first since everyone’s waiting. I’ll discuss work with President Pearson for a bit before heading in.” After


    hearing that, Elijah seemed assured as he nodded and turned to leave. When he was gone, Aidan said


    impatiently, “Give her a call and tell her toe back.” Faced with the strong oppression of capitalism,


    Zoe could onlypromise as she dialed Leanna’s number in front of Aidan. She whispered, “Nana,


    the client I told you about has arrived…


    ” Then, sheughed dryly. “Don’t you think it’s a coincidence that this client is President Pearson


    himself… Huh? You aren’t feeling well, so you’re already home? Alright then, it’s indeed a pity. I believe


    that President Pearson is a kind person, so he’ll understand…” Zoe hadn’t finished talking when her


    phone was snatched away. Aidan said coldly, “You’d better appear before me in five minutes, or your


    friend won’t be going back.” Leanna was speechless. Apart from threatening people, what else could


    this lowlife do? After ending the call, Leanna could only slowly walk out of the corridor. When she


    answered Zoe’s call, she didn’t manage to squeeze in a word as she listened to the woman’s rambling.


    The situation was obvious; Aidan hade all the way from the studio to look for her. Zoe was telling


    Leanna to escape as quickly as possible. At that thought, Leanna couldn’t help but frown. This lowlife


    had been out of his mind recently. In the end, right before the five-minute mark, Leanna stood in front of


    Aidan after four minutes and fifty-nine seconds had psed. She suppressed her temper as she said


    calmly, “What do you mean by this, President Pearson?” Aidan was dissatisfied. “Is this how you treat


    your clients?” Leanna didn’t say anything in return. Zoe suggested, “President Pearson, it must be


    ufortable to stand here and talk. Why don’t we find a ce to sit down?”


    If Maya caught sight of this scene, she would probably put on a show. More importantly, Zoe’s main


    objective right now was to match Leanna up with Elijah. She mustn’t allow this matter with Aidan to


    mess up her ns. Aidan nced at Jonathan, and thetter immediately went about making


    arrangements. Two minutester, the hotel manager emerged and led them to the VIP lounge. Along


    the way, Zoe whispered, “Nana, we should ept every client thates knocking. This lowlife


    doesn’tck money anyway, so feel free to charge him extra.” Leanna gradually calmed down. By the


    looks of it, Aidan didn’t seem like he would be letting her go easily. As such, she couldn’t chase him out


    for the moment.


    Once they were at the lounge, Leanna turned on her phone to begin taking notes. “What are you


    looking to design, President Pearson? A ne? A bracelet? Earrings, perhaps? Or is it something


    else—” Aidan said indifferently, “Whatever.” Leanna endured it as wrote the word ‘whatever’ on her


    phone. She continued to ask, “What style do you have in mind, President Pearson?” “Whatever.” “Then


    —” “Do as you please with everything.” Leanna put down her phone, her expression cold. “If you intend


    to treat me as a pastime, you can do it another way. You don’t have to waste your time with me like


    this.


    ” Aidan pursed his thin lips. “Sorry, ask the questions again.” Leanna was speechless. Ask the


    questions again, my foot. Leanna said, “I don’t know what else you still want from me, President


    Pearson. Do you think that it’s not enough for me to lose a child? Do you want me to lose my job as


    well before you let me off the hook?” Aidan’s expression didn’t change as he ignored her words. “I don’t


    have any design requests. Just design anything you like.” Leanna fell silent. He’s bonkers! Aidan got up


    and said before leaving, “Leanna, the things I want from you are far from what you imagine. When


    you’re willing to give them to me someday, you’ll know what they are.” When he opened the door, Zoe


    and Jonathan, who were eavesdropping outside, took two steps backward. Zoe coughed. “President


    Pearson, our studio’s personal design requests for jewelry are fully booked for a few months, so you


    might have to wait for a little—” Aidan nodded, turning to leave without another word.


    Jonathan immediately followed suit. After they left, Zoe went into the lounge to see Leanna zoned out


    on the couch. She waved her hand in front of thetter and asked, “Nana, are you okay?” Leanna


    gathered her thoughts and shook her head lightly. “It’s nothing. Let’s go.” Zoe had more or less heard


    everything in Leanna’s conversation with Aidan.Material ? of N?velDrama.Org.


    She didn’t think it would be appropriate to say anything about it, so she immediately changed the


    subject. “How was your conversation with Elijah?” Leanna was dumbfounded. “What do you mean?”


    “Just… Do you have anything inmon with him?” Leanna was silent before she suddenly said,


    “There’s something off about you.”
