Chapter 355

After her shower, Leanne saw Curtis in the dining room, scrolling through financial news on his tablet.

As composed as usual, Leanne sat at the far end of the long dining table, quietly picking up a spoon to eat her oatmeal.

Curtis put down his tablet, about to call her over when his phone rang.

It was from Brian, the president of SolidAxis Engineering, and the conversation dragged on. When he finished, Leanne had eaten her breakfast and was ready to work.

He grabbed his coat to walk her out, descended the stairs to the parking lot, and opened the car door for her.

As Leanne hopped into the car, there was a slight awkwardness in her movements, like a “culprit” making a reluctant return to the scene of the crime.

She sat far away from him, pressed against the car window, immediately engrossed in her phone, checking messages from her colleagues.

She avoided talking to him, avoided eye contact, and refused all forms of communication. Curtis called out to her, “Come here for a hug.”

Her response was firm. “No.”

Curtis glanced at her distant profile. “Weren’t you all about hugs last night, and now, you’ve turned cold?”

“What are you talking about?” Leanne’s face flushed. “I don’t know what you mean.”
