Meanwhile, at Pearson Group.

Jonathan stepped out of the meeting room after he delivered the necessary documents over. Then, he poured a glass of water before handing it to Leanna. “Have things been hectic in the company recently?” Leanna asked after a moment of hesitation.

“It hasn’t been too hectic,” he replied in a rather cautious tone. She froze upon hearing this. “What has Aidan been up to, then? He seems busy nowadays,” she uttered with a frown. “Did something happen in the Pearson Family?”

Seeing that she had misunderstood the situation, Jonathan hastily attempted to clarify things for her. “It’s not the Pearson Group, nor is it the Pearson Family, Miss McKinney. It’s…” He hesitated to finish his sentence. If President Pearson didn’t tell her anything, it means that he doesn’t want her to know about this. In that case, I’m not sure if I should tell her anything.

“Is that what… Aidan has been up to?” she muttered.

“Well, the Crossley Group is one of the largest companies in the country, both in terms of scale and influence. Furthermore, they’re an independent corporation, so the help that the Pearson Group can provide is pretty limited,” Jonathan explained. Leanna was silent after that.
