He retracted his gaze and looked at the woman beside the stage who was busy with work before he casually placed one hand on the handle of the chair and tapped his fingers.

 

The term ‘new target’ seemed strange to be used to refer Leanna. Although he refused to admit it, regardless whether she was his ‘new target’ or ‘past lover’, he seemed to find that the title of Mrs. Pearson suited her much better.
