I'm Sorry My Love Novel

Chapter 211 I Don’t Force People The next day, at Pearson Group. After stepping into the lobby, Leanna proceeded at a snail’s pace. She hung back as much as she could as her entire soul resisted the idea of being here. An indeterminate amount of time passed before her phone started ringing. It was Jonathan. She answered the call, but she heard Aidan’s voice instead. “Are you planning on polishing all the tiles in the lobby before coming up?” he asked coolly. Leanna was dumbstruck. She looked up around here. Are there security cameras here?! “Hurry up. I have a meeting coming up,” he said. “Oh.” She looked back down and stepped into an elevator. In the office, Aidan tossed Jonathan’s phone back to him. “Wait for her at the elevator. Don’t let her escape.” Jonathan was speechless.

He couldn’t help but think, Why did it sound like a trial is about to start? Five minutes later, Leanna arrived at the office. Aidan was leaning against the back of the couch with his legs crossed. His expression was somewhat aloof as his fingers tapped against his knees. She stood in front of him and greeted, “President Pearson.” “Take a seat.” She opened her mouth to say something, but in the end, she pursed her lips and sat down opposite him. Jonathan delivered two cups of coffee before exiting quietly. Leanna glanced at the coffee table before stating matter-of-factly, “President Pearson, I will take responsibility for the negative impact caused by the rumors involving Daphne.” Aidan took a sip of coffee and asked coolly, “How do you plan on taking responsibility for it?” “I will do my best to cooperate with the plan of action the company draws up.” “Leanna, do you know why you always get involved in all sorts of trouble?” She didn’t respond. “It’s because you always like to shoulder the responsibility for things that do not concern you. You take it all upon yourself,” he stated plainly. Her expression was neutral as she looked at him. “Louis isn’t a stranger. He’s my brother. His matters are mine as well. That said, I don’t expect you to understand, President Pearson. After all, only humans have feelings.” Aidan looked at her. “Remember what you said. If you’re going to take responsibility for it, then you better see it to the end.” “I won’t take it back, provided that it’s within the realm of reason.” He set his cup down and smirked.

You’re not allowed to leave before my return.” “But—” “Feel free to leave if you wish. I don’t force people into doing things they don’t want to.” What was that? She couldn’t believe how he could say that with a straight face. He

closed, she exhaled and leaned back into the couch. She felt defeated. Soon, she got a call from Daphne. “I was a little busy yesterday. I only saw your missed call today,” Daphne said. “Have you settled everything on your end?” “Settling things… is going to be a bit difficult. Although the news isn’t trending anymore, it’s still affecting my upcoming work.” “Will it cause a great loss to Pearson Group?” “I’m not sure about that, but all my work has stopped, and President Pearson has asked me to go abroad on hol⁠—to avoid the media. I’m sure there are losses during the break.”

merely here to resolve the matter. She wasn’t going to get involved with that b*stard in any way. At 5.00PM, Aidan came back and saw her sitting in the same position as when he left her. It looked like she barely moved. He walked over to her. “Have you eaten?” “Have you thought about how you wish to resolve this, President Pearson?” she asked coolly. Aidan rubbed his forehead. “If you haven’t eaten, then have dinner with me.” “If you haven’t decided yet, President Pearson, I can come again tomorrow.” “What do you want to eat?” Ugh. It was as
