Love's Change of Heart

Chapter 493

Even though they came to a decision, Leanna couldn’t just head over to Crossley Group abruptly, especially since she didn’t know what was going on within the company itself. Aidan had the same concerns, so he quickly got Jonathan to deliver some files over. She felt her head throbbing just at the sight of the thick files.

“Jonathan will brief you about the situation, and you can ask me if you have any questions,” Aidan offered.

“Okay.” Crossley Group’s core issues were mostly the ones that she had known. However, Jonathan gave her a detailed breakdown of the main projects that were affected, the people in charge of these projects, the companies they had partnered with, and the overall progress of the projects. Furthermore, he also told her about the severity of the state of debt that the Crossley Group was in.

Though, he only managed to find an approximation of the debt they had—he couldn’t get the exact value just yet. After he completed his report, he gave Aidan and Leanna a nod before heading out of the office. Aidan sat in front of the desk as he started to work on the files that were placed before him. Meanwhile, Leanna sat on the couch as she skimmed through the files that Jonathan had just passed to her.

Whenever she got to a part she didn’t understand, she highlighted them so that she could ask Aidan about them later that night. They were both immersed in their work, and it was way past midnight by the time Aidan looked up from his desk. At that point, Leanna had already fallen asleep on the armrest of the couch, with the documents still in her hands. He strode over before gently removing the files from her hands and placing them on the coffee table. Then, he took off his coat and put it over her.

Leanna seems really tired. She doesn’t look like she’s about to wake up anytime soon, he thought as he knelt beside her. His gaze was loving and gentle as he tucked a few strands of her hair behind her ear.

…

The sun was out by the time Leanna next opened her eyes. She rubbed the back of her hand against her eyes as she got up. The coat that had been placed over her slid down the couch, so she picked it up before looking around the office in search of Aidan. When she couldn’t see him anywhere, she let out a yawn before checking the time on her phone—it was 9.30AM. She hadn’t expected herself to sleep for so long.

She figured she should head home to take a shower and get changed. She left Aidan’s coat on the couch and was just about to leave the office when someone knocked and opened the door. Jonathan came in with a bag. “President Pearson ordered someone to send this over, Miss McKinney.” She took one glance into the bag to see her clothes inside.
