I'm Sorry My Love Novel

before he turned his gaze to the lake 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 his composure 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 Constellation Tech’s annual meeting.” Aidan sat on the couch

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

restaurant for a meal at noon whereas there will be rafting and other activities later 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 display 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 Constellation 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 inspection last year. When President Pearson arrived last 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 arrived last night, the last bit of her

doubt was finally alleviated.

This one in a million occurrence 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 places to visit. When the elevator

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

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

aware of it, she had returned to the artificial lake 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 and comfortable 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’d lack 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.
