Love's Change of Heart

Leanna did not quite understand what he meant. "Huh?"

Aidan did not want to explain his words and hung up immediately.

As she heard the beeping sound from her phone, she was puzzled as she thought, 'What is this b*stard talking about again?'

At this time, Zoe came out of the private room. "What's up? Did that low… President Pearson call you?"

Leanna shook her head. "It's nothing. Let's go in now."

After lunch, Leanna got a reply from Georgina. There was no problem with the draft, and Leanna could proceed to come up with her final design. She just had to let Georgina know the kind of materials and gems needed for the necklace, and Georgina would get it delivered to her.

After Leanna replied to Georgina, Daphne said, "I want one too, but can I make a private order? I don't think I have time to visit Lux."

Leanna kept her phone and said, "Sure. Just tell me the style you like. It'll be a gift from me."

"How could I accept that? Work is work, and I shouldn't take advantage of you." Daphne said first before she continued in a softer voice, "Plus, if President Pearson finds out that I don't pay you for your designs, he's going to make me work my *ss off!"

Her words confused Leanna.

She remembered that she had never mentioned her relationship with Aidan to Daphne.

Zoe was puzzled too. "How did you know?"

This time, it was Daphne's turn to be confused. "Is it difficult to guess?"

Back when Jonathan told Daphne to visit Leanna at the hospital, she could tell that the two had something going on already.

Moreover, she knew what kind of person Aidan was after working for him for so many years.

Even though he had scandalous rumors at times, be it with Mia, or the other models and celebrities, they were all just robots, but one that could speak to him.

Why would the president of Pearson Group care about what kind of tweet was posted by a designer who supposedly had nothing to do with him when he was so busy?

That was why it was obvious.

Leanna was silent for a moment once she heard Daphne's explanation. Finally, she seemed to understand what Aidan meant over the phone.

He said she was once his wife, which meant he had never considered hiding their marriage from anyone.

If Leanna was right about what Aidan meant, she could say that her ex-husband was him whenever anyone called her a mistress again in the future.

However, would that not cause more problems?

Ever since word of their divorce got out, she heard about the many versions of herself from many people. People were starting to forget about this, but if she mentioned that she was Aidan's ex-wife, she would just be giving them something to talk about.

All she wanted was to live a peaceful life.

Moreover, there were few people out there who were like Anthony, so it did not matter as long as she did nothing wrong.

..

After Anthony received a call from his company, he ignored Jeanette's whines and went home to change his clothes before rushing over to Pantheon Club.

United Corporation's president, Benjamin Delgado, said, "President Pearson wanted you to be a part of this project. So you better do your best later because we'll be depending on you to form a collaboration with them!"

Anthony nodded. "Leave it to me, President Delgado. I'll do my best."

Initially, Anthony was still frustrated due to the encounter with Zoe this evening, but this unexpected opportunity lifted his spirits again.

"Let's go. President Pearson is almost here.“

As soon as they left, Oscar appeared from behind a wall. What's Aidan doing this time? What kind of project could he possibly want to discuss with United Corporation?

Ten minutes later, the door to the private room opened, and Aidan stood there, tall and grim.

Benjamin stood up and welcomed him. "President Pearson. It's been a while."

With a cold expression, Aidan asked, "We've met before?'

"We did. I saw you from afar at a business banquet before. Actually, I wanted to greet you, but there were too many people. You were also occupied, so I guessed it was better not to disturb you."

As he said, he pulled Anthony over and introduced him. "President Pearson, this is Anthony Lester."

Once Anthony heard that he quickly extended his hand out. "President Pearson, it's a pleasure to meet you."

"Let's get started."

Aidan averted his gaze and strode away to take his seat. He was stony toward them the entire time.

Benjamin was also dissatisfied with what Anthony did and quickly followed behind Aidan.

Anthony retreated his hand in embarrassment and knew that he had acted rashly.

Nevertheless, he believed that he should not be blamed for this because it was his first time meeting a bigshot like Aidan. Moreover, Benjamin mentioned that Aidan wanted Anthony to be a part of the project; that was why he…

At this point, Anthony was slightly upset. But now, he would know better than to guess a bigshot's thoughts in the future.

Due to the mistake Anthony made, Benjamin introduced the entire project himself because he was afraid that Aidan might be angered even further if Anthony were to speak more.

Aidan sat on the couch, tapping his temple lightly with his fingers, looking languid yet distant.

Even though he said nothing, his presence was enough to make the people around him inexplicably feel pressured.
