Love's Change of Heart

Chapter 294

After Leanna was done sorting the work at hand in the afternoon, she grabbed her belongings and headed out of her office. “Zoe, I’m going out for a bit. I probably won’t be coming back but head straight home instead.”

Zoe nodded in acknowledgment but still asked, “Where are you heading?”

“There’s finally a lead for the pocket watch I’m looking into. I have a rendezvous with the person in charge of the factory.”

“Is it legit?” Zoe asked.

“It should be. I asked a friend to help me look into it.”

“Okay. I’ll go with you. The studio isn’t busy anyway, and I don’t like the idea of you going alone. If something does happen, at least we have each other.”

“Sure.”

After leaving the studio to their staff, the young ladies headed to the rendezvous point, only to end up in an abandoned factory area. “Is this the place? This place looks deserted,” Zoe doubted as she drove.

To that, Leanna checked the address again. “This should be it… We should arrive after making a right turn at that junction.”

With that, Zoe turned the car in that direction and found a hoary old man standing in front of a locked factory after driving a few more yards ahead.

“This is it,” Leanna announced.

“Hi, are you Mr. Muston?” she asked after getting out of the car.

The elder nodded with a smile. “You must be Miss McKinney.”

“I am,” Leanna answered, then introduced Zoe. “This is my friend. She’s here to keep me company.”
