Chapter 395


    Reality proved that Leanna''s worries were justified after all.


    When the knock on the door came, she used all her strength to shove the person on top of her aside


    and quickly threw herself on the couch.


    At the same time, the office door opened.


    Zoe''s voice came floating in. "Nana, you…"


    She had only just opened her mouth to speak when she noticed that Leanna was sitting on the couch


    with a disheveled appearance and flushed cheeks. Meanwhile, a man was sitting on the ground in front


    of Leanna. He bent one of his legs at the knee while he casually stretched out the other in front of him.


    He looked at Zoe and licked his lips dangerously.


    She immediately sensed the unspoken threating from him. So, she hurriedly mmed the door


    shut as she eximed, "Huh? That''s strange. Why was there nobody inside?"


    Leanna was speechless. How atrocious.


    When the door closed behind Zoe, Aidan nced at Leanna and spoke in a husky tone, "Shall we


    continue?"


    Leanna stood up in a huff. "What do you mean by continue? I need to work."


    She sat in front of herputer, pressed the power button, and took out a mirror to touch up her


    makeup. However, when she saw her appearance in the mirror, she had the sudden urge tomit

    No wonder Zoe had such an odd expression on her face when she walked in on us just now!


    She swiftly straightened her clothes. Then, she used a tissue to wipe off her lipstick from the corners of


    her mouth and reapplied a newyer of makeup.


    He sat on the safe behind her, pulled her chair over, and turned her around to face him. "What work


    keeps you so busy that you don''t even have the time to spend with me?"


    She kept away the tube of lipstick in her hand as she retorted, "Of course, I''m busy. If I don''t work


    harder, people will gossip about me. They will say that I relied on you to obtain everything I have


    today!"


    He raised his eyebrows at those words. "Isn''t it good to depend on me? If you wish for it, I can even


    give you everything."


    "Thanks, but no thanks."


    She wriggled slightly in her chair, trying to turn her chair back around. But, s, he had no intention of


    releasing his grip on her chair. Finally, she blew out a puff of air in frustration, stopped her ineffective


    struggles, and asked, "Have you eaten breakfast?"


    "Nope."


    She replied sternly, "Then, why don''t you take a nap on the couch for a bit? I''ll go out and order some


    food for you. It will be delivered soon."


    He stared at her without saying anything.


    When she noticed his pursed lips showing a hint of displeasure, she couldn''t help bursting into


    laughter. "I was joking. I haven''t eaten either. Let''s have breakfast together."


    He continued to stare at her, his ck eyes narrowing slightly with a dangerous look in them. "I see


    you''re now brave enough to tease me, hm?"


    When she saw that he seemed to be thinking of doing something inappropriate again, she quickly


    avoided his gaze and stood up with a cough. "Alright, let''s go. I''m hungry."


    Before they left the office, she took the time to confirm once again that there was nothing out of ce


    about her appearance.


    There were several clients in the studio by the time she walked out. Thedies were no longer crowded


    around her door but had resumed their daily duties. On the other hand, it seemed as though Zoe had


    disappeared somewhere. Nevertheless, she could hazard a guess that Zoe was probably next door.


    Along the way, Aidan asked her a question. "Has Lloyde to you?"


    Leanna nodded lightly. "He came to negotiate the conditions with me. Regrettably, out of what I


    originally asked for, he only agreed to half of them."


    He replied indifferently, "That''s in line with the sly old fox''s personality."


    "But, I demanded Georgina to apologize to Louis."


    "Did he agree to that?"


    She shrugged. "I don''t think he has a choice to disagree in this matter. Now that things have blown up


    so disproportionately, the incident involving Louis ounts for the most important parts."


    He inquired further, "Are you sure he can do it?"


    "Of course." She blinked innocently and turned to look at him. "I recorded the conversation."


    Heughed and reached out to ruffle her hair. "It looks like the lesson you learned this time was quite


    meaningful."


    She pouted and sulked in silence for a moment. "How do you n to deal with the incident involving


    Queenie?"


    "It''s not her turn yet. I''m dealing with them, one by one."


    She knew that he was nning to target the Pearson Family first.


    After a while, she finally spoke again, "I''ve already contacted thepetition organizers. They are


    currently investigating the issue. I''m sure the results wille out quickly. As for Queenie, once the


    fact that she was cheating in thepetitiones to light, this will ruin her entire career forever."


    He said, "She should have considered these consequences before she chose to do those things."


    She nodded in agreement. It was not that she sympathized with or felt terrible for Queenie. It was just


    that she would inevitably think about another person whenever she looked at Queenie.


    She probed further. "Is there still no news about Ron?"


    "No." He continued, "Oscar is still investigating this matter. Don''t worry. Even if Lloyd dies, he won''t


    die."


    That was the truth. Ron had grown up with a rough childhood. Even after he became an adult, he had


    always been living dangerously. Therefore, he had his own rules of survival. As long as he wished to


    survive, few people in this world could do anything to harm him.


    After breakfast, Aidan walked Leanna back to the studio and said, "I''ll be busy for some time. Let me


    know if you miss me. I will take some time out of my schedule toe and see you. So, don''t be shy


    about your feelings."


    She said nothing. This man truly loves to talk nonsense.


    His lips curved into a smile, and he gave her a light peck on the forehead before he left.


    When Aidan turned around and departed, Zoe finally came out from somewhere nearby. She couldn''t


    help clicking her tongue in amusement. "It''s still pretty early in the morning. Don''t you think you''re


    already showing too much physical affection for each other?"


    Leanna felt the veins in her temples throbbing in anger. She turned around and snarled, "You…"


    Zoe quickly raised her hands in surrender. "I didn''t see anything. But, of course, I was talking about the


    drama I watched on TV just now."


    Leanna had no intention of entertaining this topic. She promptly dragged Zoe into her office and faced


    Zoe. "Speaking of which, I haven''t had the time to ask you about that matter yet. It was already sote


    yesterday. Why were you with Daniel? Didn''t you say you haven''t agreed to be his girlfriend yet?"


    Zoe did not expect Leanna to bring up this topic. An unnatural expression flitted across her face for a


    moment, then she sank down on the couch and answered hesitantly. "It''s nothing… He simply sent me


    home and stayed for a ss of water."


    "Wow. How did you manage to drink water until midnight?"


    Zoeughed awkwardly. "No. We simply chatted about some poems and songs about the philosophy of


    life."


    Leanna stared at Zoe speechlessly.


    Zoe wished she could p herself the moment that pitiful excuse fell from her lips. What am I even


    saying!?


    Leanna sighed softly. "I have no objections toward Daniel. I simply believe that you should wait a little


    longer even if your feelings for him are very strong."


    Zoe nodded repeatedly. "I know. Don''t worry. I know my limits."


    Leanna was just about to say something. But, when she opened her mouth to speak, she realized that


    their current exchange seemed to contain the same content as the time when Zoe had earnestly


    advised her to reconsider her options before she began dating Aidan.


    The world hade full circle indeed. When that thought crossed her mind, the earnest advice that


    was on the tip of her tongue got caught in her throat. She couldn''t bring herself to say them anymore.


    On the contrary, Zoe seemed to be in high spirits. She excitedly leaned over and eximed, "Hey! Did


    you check the Inte this morning? There are all sorts of posts cursing at Georgina online. It was


    absolutely refreshing to read them. When I read thements, I suddenly realized that my method of


    insulting others was extremely shallow. I''ve already learned some new things so that I can keep


    insulting her! I''ll bet that Georgina would never expect that the persona she worked so hard to establish


    would be branded as scum overnight! That''s retribution for you!"


    An intrigued Leanna took out her phone and sent a message to Freddie.
