Chapter 211

The next day, at Pearson Group.

After stepping into the lobby, Leanna proceeded at a snail’s pace. She hung back as much as she could as her entire soul resisted the idea of being here.

An indeterminate amount of time passed before her phone started ringing.

It was Jonathan.

She answered the call, but she heard Aidan’s voice instead.

“Are you planning on polishing all the tiles in the lobby before coming up?” he asked coolly.

Leanna was dumbstruck.

She looked up around here. Are there security cameras here?!

“Hurry up. I have a meeting coming up,” he said.

“Oh.”

She looked back down and stepped into an elevator.

In the office, Aidan tossed Jonathan’s phone back to him. “Wait for her at the elevator. Don’t let her escape.”

Jonathan was speechless.

He couldn’t help but think, Why did it sound like a trial is about to start?

Five minutes later, Leanna arrived at the office.

Aidan was leaning against the back of the couch with his legs crossed. His expression was somewhat aloof as his fingers tapped against his knees.

She stood in front of him and greeted, “President Pearson.”

“Take a seat.”

She opened her mouth to say something, but in the end, she pursed her lips and sat down opposite him.

Jonathan delivered two cups of coffee before exiting quietly.

Leanna glanced at the coffee table before stating matter-of-factly, “President Pearson, I will take responsibility for the negative impact caused by the rumors involving Daphne.”

Aidan took a sip of coffee and asked coolly, “How do you plan on taking responsibility for it?”
