Chapter 115
Leanna was stunned for a moment. ''Huh?''
Aidan tilted his head in the direction of his bedroom. ''Come here.''
After he said that, he returned to his bedroom before she could reject him,
She didn't understand what he meant, so she could only follow behind him, utterly
confused.
Once they were in his bedroom, he sat on the couch and crossed his legs, saying
dispassionately, ''What do you want to hear me say?''
Leanna was baffled by his question.
So, she asked, ''President Pearson, what do you want to say?''
That made Aidan look back at her with a dissatisfied look. Therefore, she immediately
rephrased her words before continuing, ''President Pearson, please tell me everything. I'd
like to listen to all of it.''
''I don't have so much time.''
''Then please make it short and sweet.''
''He deserves it. There's nothing much to say.''
''Oh. Anyway, I find two things about this matter odd.''
He glanced at her as a sign for her to continue.
''If Jeanette's friend had connections to the people in the gathering today, then Jeanette
wouldn't have stayed by Anthony's side for so long. She would've found someone much
richer and with a higher social status long ago.''
It was not that she looked down on the relationship between Anthony and Jeanette, but it
was true that one of them chased after the other to satisfy his lust while the other was in
it for material things.
Simply put, both of them got into the relationship willingly despite knowing there was no
love between them.

getting back with her, and Jeanette would not have attended the gathering knowing that
some rich men would be there and kept it hidden from Anthony.
He said, ''Not having it in the past does not mean that she doesn't have it now.''
''You're right. That could be possible too. Since her friend got her connections recently,
they probably have met up not more than three times only, even if it was not the first time
tonight. Presidents like you, who are used to the entertainment scene, having fun with
girls and all that, probably made sure that your schedules and plans are kept hidden from
your families. How was it so easy for his wife to catch him with his mistress in action?''
Aidan looked up at her and said slowly, ''Repeat that.''
''My bad, let me rephrase my words. President Pearson, you're only there to socialize for
work purposes, so you're different from those who are there intending to cheat.''
Her words made him speechless.
Why does that make me so uncomfortable?
A moment later, Aidan said again, ''Let's say your guess is right. What are you trying to
prove with that?''
''Nothing. I'm just telling you my thoughts since you brought the matter up. After all,
karma hit them at the best possible time, and I couldn't help but think that self-destruction
comes along with one's evil acts.''
He could feel his temples hurting as he said coldly, ''Leanna, I've been too lenient on you
lately, haven't I?''
She just smiled. ''I was talking about Anthony. Why are you angry, President Pearson?''
Aidan was about to retort when his gaze fell on her slightly bulged abdomen. He then
closed his eyes and sucked in a deep breath. ''Leave now. Don't make me repeat myself.''
''Okay. Goodnight, President Pearson.''
She replied smoothly and went back to her room without any hesitation.
This man can indeed read between the lines. All I did was say a few things, and he knew I
was subtly insulting him.
It seems that he knows what kind of person he is.
However…
Zoe is probably right about Aidan being involved in what happened to Anthony.
It's just that I can't be sure if he's the mastermind or if he plays merely a minor role in the
plan.
…
Leanna used only three days to complete the final design.
After she contacted Georgina, she mentioned that she would be visiting Lux tomorrow for
work and that they could meet up there.
The next day, Leanna went to Lux as agreed and realized that Queenie was in the meeting
room too. In addition, there was a jewelry box with a necklace on the table.
If she was right, Georgina came over to Lux today because her initial plan was to take the
final product.
At the sight of Leanna, Queenie's expression turned solemn as she stood up and said,
''Miss Crossley, I'll be leaving now if there's nothing else from you. However, please
contact me if there are any problems in the future.''
Georgina called her, ''Miss Wojzicki, could you stay behind and give me some advice? With
Miss McK's design and your advice, I am sure this will be the most dazzling necklace in the
world.''
Queenie's expression turned even darker when she heard that.
Ever since Leanna appeared in the scene, Georgina stopped giving Queenie opinions on
her designs and products.
If that was because her products were good enough, Queenie was fine with that. Yet, that
was not the case at all.
Right now, all Georgina cared about was Leanna's work, and Queenie's products became
unimportant to her.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmFinally, Queenie said, ''McK is the designer here, so my opinions are probably worth
nothing to her. She might even think that I'm being overly critical.''
''Nah, Miss McK won't think that way. A good design results from the effort and ideas of
everyone on the team.'' As Georgina spoke, she turned to look at Leanna. ''Am I right, Miss
McK?''
Leanna said, smiling, ''Miss Crossley, just let me know if there's anything you're not
satisfied with. I'll make the changes for you as soon as I can.''
Georgina looked at the design again. ''Actually, I think that it's amazing, but for this part,
can you…''
She mentioned two parts that she wished to be amended, and Leanna listened carefully
while discussing how to make the changes with Georgina.
Queenie did not know if she should stay or leave, so she could only look at them coldly
with her arms crossed in front of her chest.
Once they were done with the discussion, Georgina picked up her bag and exited the
meeting room. ''Miss McK, I'm so sorry that took up so much of your time. I'll surely
express my gratitude to you once the final product is ready.''
Leanna nodded her head. ''No worries, this is all part of my job.''
''I'll be leaving now then. Talk soon.''
Leanna sent her to the door. ''Goodbye, Miss Crossley.''
After Georgina left, Queenie looked at her product that was forgotten on the table and
scoffed. She did not go after Georgina to tell her that she had forgotten something, but
she threw the necklace along with its box into the trash can instead.
Once she did that, she prepared to leave and saw Leanna, who had just turned around.
She mocked, ''You don't need to pretend to be calm anymore. I'm sure you're on cloud
nine after stealing my client from me.''
Despite Queenie's provocations, Leanna remained calm as she responded, ''You were the
one who mentioned that we should compete fair and square, so I did not steal your client.
I just want to remind you not to act impulsively because of your emotions. To vent your
anger, you threw away the client's order. What if they come back for it later? You better be
prepared to give them an answer.''
