I'm Sorry My Love Novel

Leanna smiled. "Don't worry about it. It's not as if I had anything planned to begin with."

He glanced around the range and asked, "Do you play golf? Want me to teach you?"

She likely hadn't expected him to offer, for she gave him a bewildered look. "Huh?"

"It's easier than you think. Why don't you give it a try?"

Now that he had encouraged her, she thought it might be rude to turn him down. After all, she was

going to try golf one way or another, so it was pointless to refuse his coaching when he offered.

Nodding, she said, "Okay."

Then, Elijah took out the clubs from the locker. He was about to teach Leanna the basics when his

assistant hurried out onto the range and whispered something to him. Whatever it was made him

blanch, and he quickly said, "Tell them I'll be there in just a moment."

The assistant nodded and hastily went back.

Elijah set the clubs down and apologized to Leanna, "I'm sorry, but something came up. Stay here and

wait for me. I'll be right back."

"Go," Leanna replied understandingly.

He opened his mouth as though to say something, but in the end, he slipped away without another

word.

Leanna looked around the turf, sat on one of the benches, and then pulled out her phone to text Zoe.

It took all but a second for Zoe to call her. "Hey, Sweetie. I can't text right now. Did something happen?

Are you alright?"

"You're not actually dropping college kids home, are you?" Leanna asked doubtfully.

Zoe sputtered on the other line. "I was joking! I can't believe you'd fall for that."

"So, then, what are you doing?"

"I'm applying makeup; I have a very important date tonight. What about you? Are you and Elijah having

a good time? Is he boyfriend material?"

Leanna pursed her lips as she paused in thought. She looked up at the cerulean sky and sighed, then

said, "Would you believe me if I told you that I ran into Aidan here?"

There was no answer from Zoe at first, then she replied, "I actually would."

After Aidan threatened her the last time, Zoe decided that the b*stard would go to any length just to get

what he wanted. She didn't have the heart to tell Leanna about it; rather, she was coerced into secrecy.

Leanna exhaled. "I almost believed he followed me all the way here, but as it turned out, I was reading

too much into it. Thank goodness I didn't confront him about it, otherwise he'd have mocked me for

thinking so highly of myself."

Zoe inquired carefully, "But what if he really did follow you all the way there?"

"No," Leanna said, shaking her head. "I asked the hotel manager. Apparently, this resort is part of the

Pearson Group. Surprise, surprise. Aidan's only here for the yearly assessment. Besides, he got here

last night, so he couldn't possibly have tracked my schedule."

"Huh... Well, that sure is a coincidence, then." Zoe would sooner believe in the existence of elves than

believe Aidan's presence at the resort was nothing more than a coincidence. That said, perhaps it was

less of a coincidence and more of a mole's handiwork. Specifically, a mole from Elijah's company.

In light of this, Zoe couldn't help but click her tongue in dismay. She should have expected something

like this from that lowlife Aidan.

Presently, Leanna clutched her phone and stared blankly at the sprawling hills of the golfing turf. For a

moment, she said nothing, then, "Zoe, if everything at the workshop is going well, I'd like to go back to

Weavside in two days."

Zoe froze. "Weavside? You've been there before, haven't you?"

Leanna nodded. "They mentioned that the demolishment and rebuilding work would kick in after the

new year, so I'd like to drop by to take a look before then."

"Well, it should be fine, seeing as Louis is away on holiday and the workshop has enough staffers. You

should go and get a breather." Having said this, Zoe quickly remarked on how she should be changing

into her date outfit and promptly hung up.

Leanna set her phone down and sat on the bench. She let her mind wander as she stared into the

distance.

Elijah did not come back even though some time had passed. She was starting to get bored, so she

rose to her feet and loosened her joints. Then, she noticed the golf clubs Elijah had left in the corner.

She walked over and grabbed one of the clubs, then made a swinging motion. I've seen players do this

on TV. Should be easy enough to imitate, she told herself.

Alas, she was proven wrong when she tried swinging a few times and missed the golf ball entirely.

She tutted in annoyance. This exercise is pointless, she concluded indignantly.

Just as she was about to give up, a large hand covered hers while she gripped the club. She turned

around in shock to look at the b*stard who had decided to swoop in without notice.

Aidan paid no attention to her sharp gaze and merely guided her hand lower down the club. "You're

supposed to grip here. Even a child knows this. I'm starting to think your head is more of an ornament

than an actual vessel for your brains, if you had any, that is."

Leanna gaped at him incredulously. It seemed she was wrong earlier; he was far more detestable than

she had made him in her head.

She tried to pull her hand out of his grip as she snapped, "I didn't ask for pointers, President Pearson.

Let go."

An unaffected Aidan shot back, "I was merely walking by when I saw an idiot swinging a golf club like a

madwoman on my driving range. I had to stop you before your stupidity puts the resort's image into

jeopardy."
