Chapter 60

Get It Over With “Don’t worry. Leave this to me. I’ll get a good price.” Louis nodded. “Thank you.” The manager of Patheon Club said, “You don’t need to be so courteous with me, but… are you sure you won’t regret this?” “What’s there to regret?

After leaving Patheon Club, Aidan received a call from a number not on his contacts list. He frowned and answered the call, only to hear Leanna’s careful voice. “Are you busy right now, Mr. Pearson?” “Say what you want.” “I…” Leanna hesitated for the longest time about what to say.

I just wanted—” He cut her off. “Leanna McKinney, did I do something today to let you assume that you can come to me and ask for money?” She fell silent.

She had not even said anything to set him off, but he exploded at her and assumed the worst of her. She would have to become insane before she would even think that he liked her. After a while, Leanna called Jethro, but sure enough, the call did not go through. She sent him a text before tossing her phone
