Love's Change of Heart

Chapter 45

Soon, both of them stopped at a luxury store, and while the woman was browsing through the clothes and bags, the man was replying to messages on his phone.

Hiding outside the store, Leanna could clearly see the man's face from this angle, and she gritted her teeth. Anthony Lester?

In the luxury store, Jeanette Boulogne held a handbag in front of Anthony. "Honey, I like this very much. Will you buy it for me?"

The salesgirl next to them complimented, "You have very good taste, miss. This is the latest design this season and there are only two pieces in the entire Highside. Both of them are in this store."

Hearing that, Jeanette liked it even more, and she tugged on Anthony's arm as she acted like a spoiled child. "I want this. Pretty please?"

Anthony pinched her nose adoringly. "Okay, I'll buy it for you," he said and passed his card to the salesgirl. "Don't you have two of them? I'll buy the other one as well."

With a smile, the salesgirl took the card from him. "Sure. Please wait a moment."

However, Jeanette, who was all smiles earlier, instantly lost her temper and released Anthony's arm. "Are you going to buy it for that woman again? You're always buying a present for her every time you buy me one. If you're thinking about her so much, just stop seeing me, then."

Placing his arm over her shoulders, Anthony hugged her. "Alright baby, don't be mad. I was basically with you the whole month since I'm back, and it's only right that I buy her something as compensation. If there's something else you like in the store, just take it. I'll buy it only for you and not for her this time."

Poking a finger into his chest, Jeanette said flirtingly, "That's better."

After the duo came out of the luxury store, they left the mall. Then, Anthony placed the beautifully wrapped box into the car and went to the hotel next to the mall while holding Jeanette's waist.

The whole time, Leanna was following them quietly, and she realized that this adulterous couple was so engrossed in the exhilaration of having an affair that they didn't even notice her.

At the hotel, while many were using the elevator, she took the chance and followed them in, hiding in a corner. When they went downstairs, she tagged along as well, trailing slowly behind them.

Perhaps Anthony had noticed something, so he turned to look behind his shoulder. The moment he spun his head around, Leanna ducked into a door next to her, but she didn't expect that the door behind her was not closed properly, and it flung open directly when she bumped into it.


At first, she thought that she would have a hard fall or bang right into a wall. However, she fell into a warm embrace instead.

Upon lifting her head, her eyes met the dark eyes of a man. D*mn it, I must have woken up on the wrong side of the bed today!

Holding his cell phone, Aidan stared at her composedly.

Through his emotionless and impassive eyes, she could almost guess what was on his mind.

This *sshole must be thinking that I'm in such a rush to throw myself at him just because we haven't met in a month.

Before her thoughts could mature, she saw his lips moving slightly, as though he wanted to speak his mind. However, all Leanna could think about was that Anthony was still out there, and if she was discovered by him because of a small move, she wouldn't be able to catch hold of the proof that he was cheating.

A second before Aidan opened his mouth, she hurriedly placed her hand over it and closed the door at the same time.

The entire room fell into an eerie silence, and only a rustling voice echoed from Aidan's phone. "President Pearson? Are you still listening?"

Aidan lowered his gaze, and Leanna immediately reacted, anxiously drawing away her hand which was so hot that it was about to burn.

"Yeah," he said into the phone.

"About the development of a resort hotel in Seymora…"

"Send the complete proposal of the project to my office within two days," Aidan instructed and hung up.

All of a sudden, the room fell silent again; he didn't speak and neither did Leanna.

It was the first time they had met in a month since they parted ways unhappily after a heated argument in the hotel.

In the end, it was Leanna who succumbed to the pressure in the air and chuckled dryly. "President Pearson, what a coincidence."

"It is a coincidence for you to run into me in my hotel."

The sarcasm in his voice was beyond words, and she was speechless.

Could it be that all the jerks in the world had something in common? One jerk owned a hotel while another brought his mistress to have fun in it.

"President Pearson, I didn't know that this hotel belonged to you. I followed someone else here," she explained.

"I see," he uttered.

What the f*ck do you mean by that? Make yourself clear whether you believe me or not! Taking a deep breath, Leanna said calmly, "Just think whatever you want. I'm not here to look for you, anyway."

Narrowing his dark eyes, Aidan asked, "Tell me, then. Who are you looking for in a hotel?"

She opened her mouth but suddenly, she jerked back to her senses. Initially, she wanted to snap at him, asking why she should tell him this and she was free to look for whoever she wanted, which was something completely unrelated to him.
