I'm Sorry My Love Novel

Chapter 188

Chapter 188 The Magic Trick Leanna was perplexed by his answer. Why would I feel burdened? The man

wasafraid of saying the wrong thing if he stayed on longer, so he nodded at her and hastily left the scene. Zoe

glanced outside and noticed that the crowd had started to disperse and she could not help clicking her tongue.

"That developer is quite weird, huh? It's quite rare nowadays for someone to stay anonymous after doing a

gooddeed." Still, there was only one she knew of who would do so out of the many people she encountered.

Meanwhile, Leanna was at a loss for words. She reached out to press the spot in between her brows and

decided to ignore the matter.

'TH be in my room to continue with work." Zoe nodded.

"Sure, go ahead."... Meanwhile at Pearson Group, Jonathan reported back to Aidan about the latest news,

"President Pearson, everything over there is settled.

I don't think that Madam suspects anything.

I've given the instructions for them to complete their work as soon as possible so that Madam's working

operations won't be disrupted."

Aidan lowered his eyes and glanced at theband-aid on his hand.

He seemed to be lost in thoughts as he suddenly spoke up calmly, "It doesn't matter even if she realizes

itunless she no longer cares about anything, including her studio." Jonathan coughed awkwardly and remained

silent. Undeniably, President Pearson's action was quite... despicable.

If Madam knows about this, she will very likely pay no regard and resort to destroying everythingfor both

parties out of anger. After quite some time, Jonathan mentioned, "President Pearson, the person in charge of

Complex Group will arrive in Highside next Saturday.

You will be meeting him for dinner." "Okay." Aidan came back to his senses.

Jonathan nodded and was aboutto leave when Aidan stopped him. "Is Elijah not occupied enough recently?"

asked Aidan. "Well..." Jonathan was tempted to say that his boss had more free time than Elijah, but he did not

dare to utter that. Not expecting a reply from him, Aidan merely said, "You should find a way to keep him more

occupied.

That way, he won't be able to run around and meet Leanna at her workplace a lithe time." "Noted." After

Jonathan left, Aidan dialed Oscar's number. "I'm on a date, so spill." Oscar responded. Aidan leaned back on

his chair and spoke in a calm voice, "Your way didn't work." Oscar was momentarily taken by surprise as he

did not register what Aidan was on about.

"What do you mean?" What the heck is he talking about?

Aidan repeated impatiently, "I said, your way didn't work at all.

It has no effect on Leanna.

She even—" At that point, it finally dawned upon Oscar and he continued the topic by finishing off Aidan's sentence, "She even what?" "Bit me."

On the other end, Oscar was rendered speechlessas he tried hard to stifle his laughter to stop himself from bursting out laughing. After some time, he finally regained his composure and asked while stifling his laughter, "What did you do to her?" Aidan was reluctant to recall the details, so he questioned unamusingly, "Didn't you say that I should convince her by my actions?" Without much intensive thought, Oscar was sure that Aidan must have done something offensive judging by his character.

After all, Leanna was triggered to the point that she bit him, so he must havebehaved very terribly. Oscar responded, "Bro, you should consider the situation before taking action.

I told you that so that you could pay more attention, but I didn't make you do something at your own whim, which was offensive to her."

Aidan's browswere tightly furrowed.

"How did you know that she was offended?" "She bit you.

That is obvious enough, right?" Aidan remained silent for a moment before replying, "That is just an indication that your way doesn't work." Suddenly, Oscar was offended too.

"That is actually quite rude of you, but I don't mind summarizing the reason for your failure for you."

"Say it."

"This isn't rocket scienceby the way.

You're just too harsh with your words.

If only you could voice out less, then there might be a chance of you succeeding.

You—" Before Oscar could finish his sentence, Aidan hung up the phone on him. Oscar clicked his tongue as he looked at his phone.

I had to be cruel to be kind. Time flew and it was already Saturday.

Leanna sat in her office and heaved a sighas she looked at the heavy snowfall outside the window. This was the perfect weather to just remain indoors. She rested her eyes for a moment before lowering her head to finish up her designs.

However, there was suddenly a knock on her door. She rose to her feet to open the door and found that it was Jonathan standing outside with a slight smile onhis face. She had no words to express herself and was about to shut the door and bolt it when he hurriedly blocked the door.

"Miss McKinney, I’ve come to discuss business." She looked at him warily and her eyes seemed to be conveying the message,What sort of business dealings would we have with each other? He grunted

and continued, "Here's what's going on.

President Pearson has a dinner appointment tonight.

Could you attend the dinner as his companion—" "No." Leanna did not even bother to consider it.

"Miss McKinney.

Hey, Miss McKinney." Jonathan suddenly heaved a sigh upon noticing that she was about to shutthe door on him again.

He then revealed a dejected look and recited, "Actually, my mother hasn't been feeling well lately.

I wanted to bring her to the hospital, but I've been too busy with work to havethe time to do so.

If only..." However, Leanna had an indifferent look on her face.

"This isn't going to work on me." Upon realizing that Leanna was unaffected by the miserable act he put on, he coughed awkwardly and decided to switch tactics.

"Miss McKinney, I'll be frank, then.

Pearson Group has been adversely affected after breaking off the engagement with the Crossley Family.

President Pearson might look like he has plenty of free time lately, but that is just his way of relieving stress."

"I didn't think that he would be underany stress." At that point, Jonathan panicked, "Well... President Pearson

didn't want you to worry, Miss McKinney, so he has always managed to put on a tough front." "Just let him

know that I don't need to know any of this.

There is no way on earth that I would attend a dinner appointment with him, let alone give a damn about his

misery."

After Leanna said that, she was about toshut the door when Aidan's figure suddenly appeared at her studio.

As soon as she saw that, she took a step back. Aidan shot a calm look at her.

"Leanna, if I'm not mistaken, you still owe me a meal from last week."

"You are mistaken." I didn't agree to anything!

"Fine." He glanced atJonathan.

"Proceed to give away the remaining clothes left in Castor Villa."

To that, Leanna was at aloss for words. He continued, "What are you waiting for?" Jonathan hastily took out

his phone.

"I'll make the necessary arrangements right away." She clenched her teeth and responded, "Hold on!"

There were some boxes at homethat she had yet to go through.

Although the money from the clothing sales would go to charity, it was difficult for her to find the spare time to

sell the old clothes all at once.

Thisb*stard is mainly here to cause trouble for me! Aidan was unperturbed as he took a seat on the couch and

crossed his slender legs.

"I can give you some time to consider it." As soon as Jonathan noticed the shift in dynamic, he slowly retreated

and left the two of them tofight it out. It was then that Leanna questioned, "President Pearson, don't you find

your ways of doing things to be shameless? You don't seem to have any other option other than threatening

me, huh?" "Well, I don't need to come up with varieties as long as I have the magic trick." He maintained the

same expression. Speechless, she sat across from him and pursed her lips before saying, "Can I discuss

something with you?" "Say it." She spoke up gradually, "I don't mind being your companion for this dinner

appointment." He glanced sideways at her and waited for her to finish her sentence. However, he knew well Material © NôvelDrama.Org.

that it would not be anything nice coming out of her mouth next.
