Chapter 109


    Once they were at the coffee shop, Georgina ordered a cup of Americano, then she turned and asked


    Leanna, "Miss McK, what would you like to drink?


    Leanna turned to the waiter and said, "I''d like to have a ss of milk. Thank you."


    After the waiter left, Georgina said with a smile on her face, "I didn''t expect you to be a non-coffee


    drinker. I thought that designers like you who need inspiration would be more or less inseparable from


    caffeine."


    "It''s not that I don''t like coffee. I''m only drinking milk because of my health."


    Leanna did not feel the need to bring up her pregnancy to someone she had just met, so she made up


    a casual excuse.


    "You''re right. You seem very fit. You probably don''t need it," Georgina said.


    Leanna smiled politely in response and initiated the topic, "Miss Crossley, tell me more about what your


    sister likes. Then, I''ll send you a draft, and if you''re not satisfied with it, I''ll revise it."


    "This is actually a spontaneous gift, so there are no specific restrictions," Georgina said. I believe with


    Miss McK''s abilities, you can design it however you like. My sister really likes the ''First Love'' series,


    and that series holds a different meaning to her. She would be overjoyed if she knew that you designed


    her wedding gift.


    "You''re too kind. I''ll try ande up with something and send you the first draft of the ring within a


    week. If Miss Crossley has any other requests, I''ll amend ordingly."


    "Then, it''s settled." Georgina gave Leanna her email address and said, "You can just send the design


    here."


    Leanna nodded lightly. "Okay."


    Then, Georgina got up. "I still have something to do. We''ll just conclude our talk today. I''ll be looking


    forward to your draft, Miss McK."


    "Goodbye, Miss Crossley."


    After she left the coffee shop, Leana habitually wanted to take a taxi but suddenly remembered that


    Aidan had arranged a driver for her, who was waiting nearby.


    She took a deep breath. Then, just as she walked a few steps, Zoe called her. "How was it? Did you


    seal the deal?"


    "Yup. The design will be out in a week."


    This almost made Zoe apud aloud. But, then, she paused for a moment before asking, "Nana, I just


    agreed for you on my own ord. Are you angry at me?"


    Leanna smiled when she heard this. "Why would I be angry about this money-making deal?"


    Although she and Aidan had struck a deal about the money, she still had a child to raise in the future.


    So, even if Zoe did not step in and agree for her, she would''ve taken the deal herself.


    This was work, and there was no ce to be nice regarding a job. Not to mention, she wouldn''t let a


    customer slip away from her fingers just because of Queenie.


    Zoe let out a sigh of relief once she heard Leanna''s reassurances. "Good. Did you see how Queenie''s


    face turned white with anger just now? I think she must be vomiting blood right now. Just thinking about


    it makes me happy."


    "Go back to work. I''m going to head home first. She didn''t give me any restrictions or a theme for me to


    design. So, I don''t have a clue how I will go about it," Leanna said.


    Although there was no limit to designing these things, that was also the most challenging part.


    Fortunately, she could garner inspiration from wedding themes.


    "All right, all right. Once you''re done with this order, we''ll go out for lunch."


    After hanging up the phone, Leanna looked up and saw the driver nearby, waving at her and shouting,


    "Madam, I''m here."


    She walked over and couldn''t help but whisper, "Next time…don''t call me Madam anymore. Aidan and I


    divorced a long time ago."


    "Okay, M-m-m…"


    Apart from ''Madam'', the driver didn''t know how else to address her and stammered for a while before


    keeping quiet.


    Then, Leanna sighed silently and said, "Let''s go."


    At the end of the day, what did the conflict between her and Aidan have to do with them?


    This is property ? N?velDrama.Org.


    Once she was home, she locked herself in the room and started to draw some prototypes.


    During this period, servants woulde and ask her to eat, only for her to reply, "Ah…I''m not hungry.


    Thank you."


    She wasn''t hungry as she had a lot this afternoon while looking for inspiration.


    …


    When Aidan came back, it was already 10:00PM.


    The servant greeted him and asked, "Would you like something to eat, sir?"


    He loosened his tie and said faintly, "Ask her what she wants to eat. She''ll get up at midnight to look for


    food."


    "Madam hasn''t had dinner yet. She said that she wasn''t hungry," the servant said.


    He looked up at the second floor, and his well-defined eyebrows furrowed slightly at those words.


    In Leanna''s bedroom, no sooner had she outlined the shape of the ring; she heard an impatient knock


    on the door.


    As she thought that it was one of the staff urging her to eat, she called out, "Alice, don''t worry about


    me. I''ll go down and eat if I''m hungry—"


    Before she could even finish talking, the door swung open.


    "Don''t you know you have to eat on time?" Aidan''s cold voice sounded.


    She didn''t know what to say when she saw who it was.


    How could someone who ate lunch at 1:00AM have the right to reprimand her?


    Despite that, she earnestly answered, "I was upied with work, and I''d forgotten to eat."


    Aidan nudged at the paper bag next to her and said, "It''s not like you ate anything less."


    "I''ve overeaten today. That''s why I''m not hungry for dinner."


    At this point, he couldn''t be bothered to talk to her any longer and said, "Be downstairs in five minutes."


    How dare this b*stard order her around?


    In the end, Leanna put her brush down and dawdled out of the room.


    When Alice saw theming down, she brought out the hot food. "Madam, sir mentioned that you like


    fish soup recently. This is the first time I''ve added fish mint into the soup. Try it."


    Aidan''s face was expressionless. "I''ve never said that."


    Once she heard that, she lightly tapped her lips and corrected, "Yes, yes, it had nothing to do with


    President Pearson. I…guessed it."


    Leanna took a sip of the soup and smiled. "It''s delicious. Thank you, Alice."


    "Great, I''m d that you like it. I''ll leave you to enjoy your meal. Call me if you need anything."


    After she drank the soup, she could feel a surge in appetite and finally felt hungry.


    As she was halfway eating, she looked up and saw Aidan staring at her; his ck eyes were quiet and


    deep.


    This made her skin prickle. Finally, she put her spoon down and asked, "Is there anything wrong,


    President Pearson?"


    Immediately he withdrew his gaze. "Nothing. Eat your food."


    Leanna felt that since he had called her down for dinner today, she would show some concern out of


    courtesy. "Do you alwayse back thiste?"


    "Can you not sleep if I''m not home?"


    She was caught off guard by what she heard.


    She immediately choked on air, and it took her a while to calm herself down and answered, "You''re


    funny, President Pearson."


    "Then, why do you care what time Ie home?" Aidan snapped.


    At this moment, Leanna felt that she had solid reasons to suspect that the real reason Aidan told her to


    move back was to piss her off. And once she had passed on due to anger, he would''ve gotten what he


    wanted.


    After a while, he spoke again in a calm manner, "Didn''t anyone tell you not to talk when you eat?"


    "The only thing that people told me was that if you''re too rude, you will get your tongue cut off when


    you go to hell.


    Aidan was rendered mute by her sharp retort.
