Chapter 170

What Else Could a Man Seek in a Woman? Seeing that Leanna was silent, Zoe sort of figured out the reason for that. She patted her on the shoulder, saying, “Nana, what are you thinking about? If you think the work is exhausting, we can hire however many designers we want, but I won’t allow you to quit… Actually, to be honest, I think that b*stard doesn’t seem to be making things difficult for you on purpose. He seems to have an ax to grind.” She frowned. “What is he up to, then?” She thought about it for a while. Then, she said slowly, “What else could a man seek in a woman? You’ve got pretty looks and a nice figure. If I were him, I’d have the hots for you, too.” After being speechless for a while, Leanna snapped, “Just shut up.”

Meanwhile, at the Pearson Group, Aidan sank into his chair, propping his head with his right hand while tapping his temples in thought. After two minutes, he said on the intercom, “Come in.” Jonathan showed up in the office soon afterward. “What can I do for you, President Pearson?” Raising his eyes slightly, he asked impassively, “What is Elijah Parker’s relationship with Leanna?” He asked tentatively, “President Pearson, do you remember President Parker?” He sank back into his chair with his face devoid of emotion. “Constellation Tech has been aggressive since its return from abroad last May, and Elijah Parker is called the tech industry’s future. Do you think I shouldn’t remember him?” Jonathan curled his lips in secret. So, he did it on purpose when he said at the time that he had no impression of President Parker, he thought.

Jonathan immediately said, “Mrs. Pearson and President Parker are probably just ex-classmates. President Parker is different from Mr. Barnett, after all…” Toward the end of the sentence, though, he sensed that something was wrong with the mood in the office, so he simply clammed up. Ignoring his words, Aidan continued, “Constellation Tech was founded abroad, yet it has become what it is today in just a few years. It’s impossible for Elijah Parker to achieve that all by himself. What is his background?” Jonathan replied,

Get out.” Jonathan left in bewilderment, but it wasn’t until he stepped out of his office that he finally came to his senses. Did President Pearson just ask me if I’d ever courted someone? Baffled, he looked back. Haven’t I been helping him court Mrs. Pearson all this while? Meanwhile, in the office, Aidan held onto his cell phone while looking at Oscar’s name for a while. Just as he was about to call him, his phone registered an incoming call from another number. His face hardened, and his jaw tensed slightly. A few seconds later, he answered the

To her surprise, though, he stopped after making a fuss for a couple of days. Just when she breathed a sigh of relief, her studio began receiving roses for several days in a row.
