Chapter 408

When Leanna left the office in the evening, the staff members in the shop were ready to get off work. “We’ll take our leave now, Leanna.” They informed her before leaving.

When Leanna left the office in the evening, the staff members in the shop were ready to get off work. “We’ll take our leave now, Leanna.” They informed her before leaving.

She nodded with a smile. “See you tomorrow.”

After they were gone, she took a glance at Zoe, who was already wearing her bag, and arched her brow. “You…”

Zoe coughed to conceal her embarrassment. “I’m not going to do anything. I’m just going to work out.”

Leanna shuffled toward the pantry and poured herself a cup of water before teasing her with a smile. “You’re going on a date with Daniel, aren’t you?”

Zoe walked up to her and leaned against the wall. “Well…” She hung her head low and clenched the bag’s strap. “We’re just going out for dinner.”

Leanna took a sip of the water and glanced at the person outside. “Go now. He’s waiting.”

Seeing that she looked outside, Zoe followed her gaze and pursed her lips. After giving it some thought, she suggested, “Since there’s nothing else to do in the studio now, why don’t you come with us?”

“I can’t. Aidan… is coming over.”

Both ladies appeared to have plans after work. At the mention of Aidan, Zoe sported a cheeky smile as she bid Leanna goodbye. “I’ll get out of your way, then. See you.”

Leanna dipped her head. “Be careful.”

After Zoe left, Leanna closed the glass door. Just as she was ready to return to the studio, she saw someone peering at her from a car across the street. The car had been there for quite a while.

Noticing her stare, the person in the car pocketed his gaze and left the place, following behind Daniel’s car.

Seeing that, Leanna pressed her lips together. If she wasn’t mistaken, that person was supposed to be Lloyd’s subordinate.

When she returned to the office, she put down the cup and picked up a pen. After some contemplation, she still couldn’t draw anything. Instead, she jotted down some names on the draft paper—Lloyd, Georgina, Daniel, Mr. Jackson, Elijah, and Mr. Muston, who had passed her the key to the warehouse and then disappeared previously.

She swept a glance over the names on the paper, and after pondering on it for a moment, she added one more name—William.

Although William didn’t seem to have anything to do with the series of incidents, he had all sorts of connections with the people on the list.
