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.
