Love's Change of Heart

Chapter 365

Meanwhile, Daniel went up to the second floor and gave Elijah a call. “I guess my cover is blown, so I think we need to pause our plan.”

Having prepared for the day that they were exposed, Elijah curiously asked, “How did that happen?”

“I got careless.” Daniel sat on the couch and added, “I met up with Leanna to discuss the equity transfer agreement she was handed earlier, but I didn’t realize Lloyd had his men spying on us until it was too late. That slippery old man isn’t going to give up so easily even though he has no idea what we were talking about.”

“Alright, I heard you. However, we don’t have any useful leads at the moment, so even if we really get exposed, Lloyd is not going to get anything much that will dispel his doubts.” Upon pausing for a few seconds, Elijah added, “Anyway, I think you’re probably going to be followed by his men for a while, so keep your eyes peeled.”

After hanging up the call, Daniel looked outside the window in a preoccupied manner. Deep down, he believed Lloyd was just trying to lure him into the light by handing Leanna the equity transfer agreement, knowing he had a bigger ulterior motive behind him. In the meantime, Lloyd’s men were secretly observing Daniel in the shadows from afar but failed to notice anything strange with the latter. After all, the only place he went to after leaving his piano lounge was the bar.

On the other hand, Leanna was still busy completing her drafts even though it had already turned dark on the outside. Soon, she was interrupted by a knock on the door, whereupon Zoe poked her head into her room and asked, “Aren’t you going to make a move, Leanna?”

“I-I’ll probably leave a little later.” Leanna looked up.

“Alright then, it’s raining outside, so don’t forget to bring an umbrella with you when you leave. You don’t want to catch a cold after all.” Zoe put on a mischievous smile.

“Okay. Stay safe on your way home.” Leanna nodded. As soon as Zoe disappeared from sight, she stretched herself and cracked her tight neck. It was then that her attention was caught by the rain that was pitter-pattering on the roof on the outside. She then shifted her gaze to the clock and realized it was almost 9.00PM. Wondering whether Aidan was coming over, she reached for her phone to give the man a call, but before she was about to do so, she heard footsteps approaching the door.

and grabbed her car keys. “Let me give you a ride there. God knows how long it’s going to take until you flag down a cab that is willing to stop for you.” At the lady’s words, Ron was surprised, standing in the rain without saying anything. In the meantime, Leanna couldn’t care less about cleaning the mess, even though she noticed the rainwater on the ground was slowly turning red. She then double-backed to her office and grabbed her car keys, as well as her important belongings and two umbrellas. After locking
