Chapter 96 Your Ability to Lie Without Batting an Eye Comes Naturally
As Leanna hadn’t expected Aidan to see the paper she tore off, her face immediately grew red in shame, but she couldn’t retort as she was in the wrong.
Indifferently, Aidan continued, “Are you out of excuses?”
After wrecking her brain for a little bit, Leanna then said, “I was… practicing!” Truth be told, if it was the other way around, she wouldn’t believe what she had just said either. However, she was hoping for that man, who had some peculiar sort of thinking, to believe her excuse.
Just then, Aidan smiled and let out a chuckle.
Leanna was speechless. What’s so funny?!
Ignorant to Leanna’s thoughts, Aidan only said, “Let’s go. I’m hungry.”

After Leanna was tormented for the better half of the day, the two came back home after their meal. With no thoughts spared for that man, Leanna immediately went back upstairs to sleep. However, there was a knock on the door as soon as she lay in her bed. Keeping her temper in check, she got up and opened the door. “President Pearson, is there something else?”
Holding a glass of water in his hand, he said, “Time for your medication.”
“I’ll take them after I wake up.”
“Take them before you sleep.”
She was at a loss for a retort.
With how overbearing Aidan’s tone was, it gave off a sense of oppression as though he would force the medication down Leanna’s throat should she refuse to comply. Thus, Leanna took the glass of water and placed it down on her desk. Then, she took the medication out and swallowed it along with a few mouthfuls of water.
After Leanna had taken her medication, she turned around and was puzzled to find Aidan had already made himself at home by sitting on the couch with his laptop on his lap. With a blunt tone, she reminded Aidan. “President Pearson, I am going to sleep now.”

Without raising his head, Aidan replied indifferently, “I’ve never said I would prohibit you from doing so.”
Leanna gritted her teeth. “President Pearson, I thank you for the water you brought so deliberately. But, since I’ve already finished taking my medication, you may leave now.”
At that, Aidan stopped typing on his laptop. He then gazed gently at her before turning his attention to the window. “The view here is good.”
Does this mean this scum of a man is not leaving?!

man again because of you. Sleep now. Don’t make me repeat the third time.” Looks like even that scum cares quite a bit about how others look at him, she thought. Since she couldn’t do anything about this situation anyway, she might as well just let it go, as she didn’t want to waste her energy in being angry. She then went and lay in bed and turned her back on the man. “President Pearson, please close the curtains.” Aidan made no remarks. It was after a few seconds of silence was there the sound of the curtains closing. Lying in the bed, Leanna couldn’t help but revel in this small ‘victory.’ With how dark the room had gotten, she wanted to know just what that man would do, as she assumed he wouldn’t be sitting here all afternoon in such a condition. However, the room was silent with no sound of movement for a long time. Since she had taken her medication, she started feeling sleepy in no time and fell asleep after enjoying the comfort of the pillow

Leanna rubbed her eyes and answered in a husky voice, “Yeah.”

downstairs.” As soon as Naomi’s footsteps faded, a deep, husky voice came from behind her. “I see your ability to lie without batting an eye comes naturally to you.” Leanna couldn’t make any retorts to Aidan’s comment and thought to herself, Whose fault is this anyway?! She then immediately broke free from Aidan’s arms and sat up. Angry and annoyed, she said, “President Pearson!” Aidan sat up as well with one of his legs slightly bent. With a hint of weariness in his voice, he asked, “What’s wrong?” “You…” Leanna was so exasperated by how Aidan acted as though he was in the right. It was only after some time passed could she continue, “I can report
