Love's Change of Heart

Chapter 539

When Leanna returned to the company, Freddie was leisurely resting on the couch while humming a song. He had a euphoric expression on his face.

She placed down her things and sat at her desk. “What’s with that expression of yours?”

“Congratulations! You effortlessly received 20 million from Jimmy!”

She paused for a moment upon hearing the glee in his voice. “Have we received the funds?”

“Yes. We received the funds half an hour ago.”

“I did not expect him to be so efficient.”

He straightened his posture. “You sent your men to watch him closely at every step of the way. How can he not be efficient? If he had continued to refuse, I would have gone to confront him.” Instead, he added, “What about it? Don’t you think you should treat me to a meal after receiving such a pretty penny?”

She pouted. “Don’t you eat here often enough?”

“How can you say that? Can you call the meals here food? The food here can only be considered sustenance to fill my stomach,” he said. “I break my back every single day for the Crossley Group, for your sake. So, a meal is the least you could do!”

She stretched out her hand and mimed for him to zip it. “Stop right there. You talk as though you don’t have money.”

He coughed. “Money is not important. It hurts my feelings when all you talk about is money. With our relationship, I have to help you even if I don’t have any money.”

She replied seriously, “In that case, please return my money to me.”

He glanced around him. “Wow! We have such great weather today!”

She withdrew her gaze and couldn’t be bothered to continue giving him a shred of attention.
