Love's Change of Heart

It looked like she believed him. "Alright then. Where should we go to discuss this important life event?"

He heaved a sigh of relief as he guided her to the VIP waiting room.

However, she only took two steps forward before quickly turning on her heels when he wasn't paying

attention and arrived at the door to the president's office in the blink of an eye. She pushed open the

door. A woman was waiting inside the office alone. On the other hand, Aidan was nowhere to be seen.

When the woman saw Leanna, she furrowed her eyebrows in displeasure. "How long does President

Pearson intend to make me wait?" After she said that, she muttered under her breath. "That's what you

can expect from an illegitimate child. What rude and uneducated behavior. This is so annoying!"

Leanna was about to leave after apologizing when she heard those words. But then, she paused in her

tracks and glanced at the woman. "Excuse me, who are you waiting for?"

"I…"

"If you have such a poor opinion of him, why are you waiting here for him? You can't be waiting for him

so that you can curse him to his face, right?"

The woman's complexion became flushed from Leanna's criticism. Finally, she stood up and flew into a

rage. "I don't need to explain my affairs to you. Are the employees at the Pearson Group all so

arrogant? It's no wonder the subordinates are so unruly, seeing as how the person in charge is no

better!"

"You're right, Miss Kramer. I will discipline her myself later." Aidan's voice came from behind.

Leanna turned around and met his gaze. Meanwhile, he raised his eyebrows slightly at her. So just

what evil schemes are brewing in this b*stard's head now?

When Violet saw Aidan, her demeanor immediately changed so much that she seemed almost like

another person altogether. Unlike before, her expression was no longer filled with anger and

annoyance. Instead, she shyly tucked a lock of hair behind her ear but spoke in a manner that

indicated she was still a little upset. "I simply asked her when you would be back, President Pearson,

but she suddenly started scolding me for no reason. She even said that you were rude and uneducated

and deserved it because I was willing to wait for you. It's my first time seeing an employee like her. She

sure dares to say anything she wants just because she is pretty!"

Aidan leisurely responded. "Is that so?"

"That's right. But, since you've said you will deal with her personally, I won't pursue this matter further."

While she spoke, she glared at Leanna again. "Nevertheless, it's best if you get rid of employees like

her as soon as possible. She will only take advantage of you otherwise. Her actions will also affect the

overall image of the company."

He glanced at Leanna. "Affect the company's image? I don't think so. She's quite pretty, after all."

Leanna could barely stop her eyes from rolling heavenward.

Violet gnashed her teeth. I knew it! She's a little vixen!

She was so furious that she stomped her foot angrily. "You just said that you will deal with her,

President Pearson. Are you planning to go back on your words?"

"I'm afraid you misheard me, Miss Kramer. I said that I would discipline her, not get rid of her."

"How do you plan to discipline her, President Pearson? It can't be something as simple as a demotion,

right? It should be at least…"

He turned and looked at Leanna. His voice was deep and slow, containing a trace of warmth. "Are you

reflecting on your mistake?"

Leanna played along with his performance. "Yes."

He turned his gaze back to Violet, his expression resuming its usual indifference. "I've finished

disciplining her."

Violet rolled her eyes and nearly fainted from outrage.

"Y-Y-You—" She stammered for a long time but could not finish her sentence.

He slowly said, "Miss Kramer, please leave if there's nothing else. I would like to continue disciplining

my employee."

She screamed angrily, "Aidan Pearson! You're too much!"

"For a rude and uneducated illegitimate child, this is already very polite."

The instant she heard those words, she immediately guessed that he had overheard her statement

earlier. The fact that he had left her here for the whole day and disappeared somewhere on his own

should have given her the upper hand in this matter. On the contrary, she had become the

disadvantaged party instead.

She stomped her foot again. Be that as it may, she could only leave with great reluctance. Before she

left, she glared at Leanna fiercely and spat out, "Vixen!"

Once Jonathan saw that he swiftly closed the office door behind him and slipped away without a sound.

Leanna was just about to take a step forward when Aidan reached out a hand to press her against the

door.

Her guard instantly flew up as she stared at him warily. "What are you doing?"

He gripped her lower jaw and narrowed his black eyes. "I'm disciplining you."

He didn't bother waiting for her reply as his thin lips came crashing down against hers.

She was not in the mood to perform an office play with him, so she reached out and shoved him away.

His black eyes stared at her, and his voice was hoarse. "Or do you want to do it instead?"

She was utterly exasperated by this shameless man.

The words that come out of this b*stard's mouth are always a bunch of nonsense.

She lifted the bag in her hands. "I brought you dinner. It'll get cold if you don't eat it soon."

He licked his thin lips with a meaningful look. "Why didn't you tell me that you were coming over?"

"Why? Are you worried that I might interrupt your date with somebody else?"

"Did you drink two bottles of jealousy before coming here?"

She angrily kicked him in the shin and walked toward the couch with the food in her hands.

Meanwhile, he followed behind her with a smile playing on his lips.
