Begging For A Reconciliation

Chapter 449

Chapter 449 A Massive Tree

"Get together with him?" Serena stared at Leah as if she had just suggested something unspeakable. Her voice was rather shrill as she clapped Leah on the shoulder just a little too hard. "Sarah, this is the modern era, you know. All we did was have a one-night stand; you shouldn't have such a conservative mentality! Anyway, I don't want to get together with him. He's been working for Han for ages, which means he's as wily an old fox as his employer and can't be trusted!"

Seeing that Serena was so adamantly against the idea, Leah did not force the issue. "Very well then. Do you feel sore or uncomfortable? Would you like me to make you some breakfast?"

Serena smiled suddenly and threw her arms around Leah in a big hug, rubbing her cheek against her friend's shoulder like a cat. "See, being together with you is much better. I don't want to hang around people like Ben Wright. Let's just consider this chapter closed, alright? It never happened!"

Leah remained at Serena's place for the entire day. In the late evening, Han came to take her home.

The bleak winter landscape flashed past as they drove, and the cold, dry air seeped in through the slightly open window. Leah rubbed her hands together and rolled the window closed. "Where's Mr. Wright?" She was a little perplexed because Han was driving instead.

Han shot her a bland look. "He's lost his innocence, that's for sure. I gave him some time off. What did Serena say? Is she willing to get together with him?"

Leah shook her head. "No. She said she'll treat it as though nothing happened…"

Before she could finish speaking, Han's sardonic chuckle interrupted her. "Heh. As far as these matters are concerned, the two of you are astoundingly similar. Both of you don't bother taking responsibility for your actions."

This was something Leah did not want to hear. Frowning, she retorted, "Serena might have initiated things, but in this kind of affair, she's the one who has to bear the consequences, right?" Besides, the two of them are adults. Surely something like this can be handled a little more liberally?"

Han's gaze grew slightly chillier, and his grip on the steering wheel involuntarily tightened. "That's what you think as well?"

this made Leah feel a bit guilty. She looked a little puzzled as she answered, "Something like that, anyway. It depends on the situation…" Why was he trying to drag her into
