Chapter 220


    Chapter 220 Can’t Be A Coincidence When Elijah walked Leanna to the entrance of the door and


    passed her the room key, hemented, “Leanna, I’m in the room opposite yours. We’ll head


    downstairs in a short while. I’lle over to call you.” A smiling Leanna nodded. “Sure.” The moment


    she entered the room and set aside the items, she went to the bathroom to wash her face before she


    headed to the balcony. Then, she leaned against the railing to breathe some fresh air. Her room was


    facing the man-madeke. From a distance, it was obvious that theke was more beautiful than


    before, as if it was sprinkled with countless diamonds that shone brightly.


    She shook her head to cast aside the messy thoughts in her mind. She stretchedfortably under the


    sun, but when she turned around, she realized that someone was already standing on the neighboring


    balcony. Such a sight left Leanna speechless. She stopped stretching in mid-air, which caused her


    whole body to stiffen. However, Aidan looked like he never realized her presence and merely looked


    into the horizon with his emotionless cold face. Leanna slowly withdrew her hand as her lips moved, as


    if she was hesitating whether to speak or not. This one in a million urrence could not even be


    considered as coincidence. It was intentional. What does this idiot want again? This is really never


    ending. Leanna took a step forward. “Ai—” “President Pearson, this is the annual financial statement


    for the resort as well as a n to develop the area next year. We’re going to build another theme park


    next to the artificialke and include more recreational activities for the theme park. She stared at the


    scene before her and was immediately stunned. It was only at this time that Aidan seemed to have


    realized her presence. Then, he turned his head to politely answer, “Madam, I’m the hotel manager.


    Can I assist you with anything?” “S-Sorry.” An embarrassed Leanna hurried off to her room. She was


    only relieved that she had not said anything.


    Otherwise, the idiot would mock her in ways that she would least expect. On the balcony, Aidan


    perused the financial statements that were in front of him before he handed it over to the hotel


    manager. The hotel manager asked again, “What do you think about the theme park project?” “Produce


    a detailed proposal for me.” As Aidan instructed, he nced sideways at the vacant balcony next doorN?velDrama.Org owns this.


    before he turned his gaze to theke in the distance and added with a calm tone, “Also, add an area for


    children’s activities.” As the hotel manager had not expected to hear such words from Aidan, he quickly


    regained hisposure and replied after a momentary shock, “Alright, I’ll ask them to draft the


    proposal as soon as possible.” Aidan adjusted his cuffs and turned back to return to his room. It wasn’t


    long before the hotel manager left that Jonathan knocked on the door and entered. “President Pearson,


    we’ve investigated the arrangement for Constetion Tech’s annual meeting.” Aidan sat on the couch


    and lightly tapped his knees with his long fingers. “Speak.” “They will be heading to akeside


    restaurant for a meal at noon whereas there will be rafting and other activitiester in the afternoon.


    You can choose to participate in the activities.


    The annual meeting itself will start on time at 7.00PM tonight at the banquet hall. Then, there will be a


    mountain climbing session tomorrow morning. We’ll return to Highside after lunch.” Aidan asked, “Has


    it all been arranged?” Jonathan nodded. “Don’t worry, President Pearson. Everything has been settled


    in advance.” Aidan raised his eyebrow as he turned his head toward the window. No one could


    decipher what he was thinking. … Leanna washed her face with cold water for a good two minutes


    before the embarrassment that developed her finally disappeared. She had no idea whether it was


    because of her own self or because of the room’s environment that left her feeling suffocated. She


    dressed herself again and prepared to head downstairs to get some fresh air. However, she ran into the


    same hotel manager from earlier in the elevator as he had just finished reporting to Aidan. The hotel


    manager had also recognized her and gave her a slight nod. She pursed her lips and smiled, after


    which she leaned against the elevator cabin while watching the disy panel indicating the slow


    descent. After a while, she suddenly asked, “Is your hotel owned by the Pearsons?” When the hotel


    manager heard this, he answered, “Yes.” At that, he suddenly remembered the earlier encounter and


    asked in hesitation, “Madam, are you acquainted with President Pearson?”


    Leanna smiled dryly. “We’ve met before.” The hotel manager thought that she was here to attend the


    annual meeting for Constetion Tech, so it was not strange for her to be acquainted with President


    Pearson. As such, he didn’t probe any further and made small talk instead. “The entire resort is owned


    by the Pearsons, save for the hotel. President Pearson has made a visit this time to conduct a routine


    inspection at the end of the year.” She nodded before she hesitated and inquired, “Then… W-When did


    he arrive?” “Last night.” However, what the hotel manager didn’t mention was that President Pearson


    never made a personal visit for the inspectionst year. When President Pearson arrivedst night, it


    frightened all of the resort employees because they thought that something grave had happened.


    Judging from this morning’s situation, everything was normal and President Pearson had merely asked


    them to provide their reports. When Leanna heard that Aidan had arrivedst night, thest bit of her


    doubt was finally alleviated.


    This one in a million urrence for her to run into Aidan was probably a result of her bad luck. The


    hotel manager then introduced her to the nearby scenery and some ces to visit. When the elevator


    arrived on the ground floor, she bid her thanks and left the hotel lobby. She never visited the ces that


    the hotel manager introduced, though. Instead, she aimlessly walked around. Before she was even


    aware of it, she had returned to the artificialke once again. As she stood on the bridge and enjoyed


    the quiet breeze, she felt that her mind was free of worries. Perhaps it was because of her environment


    because she found herself reflecting on the time she lived in Underwood Lane ever since she arrived.


    She wanted to know if Underwood Lane had changed and whether all the residents had moved out.


    Especially Ms. Shaffer and Ms. Fletcher… Are they doing well in life? Leanna felt that it would be


    arduous for her to have such peace in her life again and there was also a chance that she would never


    be able to enjoy such a leisurely andfortable period. Her phone suddenly rang after what seemed


    like an eternity. It was from Elijah. “Leanna, aren’t you in your room?” “I’m sorry. I’m actually outside the


    hotel and forgot to inform you. I’ll be right back.” Elijah responded, “It’s alright.


    I’ll wait for you at the hotel lobby then.” After he hung up the phone, he left from his spot in front of


    Leanna’s room and pressed the elevator button. At this moment, Aidan’s figure appeared from nowhere


    and stood beside Elijah. Elijah broke the silence. “It shouldn’t be a coincidence that you’ll be here,


    President Pearson. I really never expected that you’d make such a big deal for a chance meeting with


    Leanna.” Aidan cooly retorted, “I also never expected that you’dck self-esteem, President Parker.


    Say, was the scene that you saw that night not clear enough?” Such words left Elijah clenching his fists


    as he turned to face Aidan, whose face was full of silent endurance. When Aidan met Elijah’s gaze, the


    corners of his lips curled upward to reveal a sneer.
