I'm Sorry My Love Novel

Chapter 212 The Farmer and the Snake Aidan used his businesslike tone and said, “There’s a poker game happening tonight. Come with me.” Leanna was startled for a moment, but she nodded. “Alright.” “So, we can get dinner now, right?” Leanna laughed dryly and passed the folder back to him. “Do whatever you want, President Pearson.” He leaned back into the seat and closed his eyes. Less than two minutes later, Leanna’s phone started ringing. It was a call from Elijah. She cast a glance at the man beside her.

She didn’t know if he was actually asleep or just faking it, but after a moment of hesitation, she decided to answer the call. “Leanna, I heard about everything from Zoe. Do you need my help?” Elijah asked. Her instinctive response was to say no. The word was on the tip of her tongue when she suddenly changed her mind. “Yes, please. Thank you.” Beside her, Aidan slowly opened his eyes. After hanging up, she turned around and looked straight into his deep, brooding eyes. He looked away and stated plainly, “We’re here. Get off.” Leanna wanted to stick to her resolve and skip dinner, but it was torture for someone who had skipped lunch to sit and watch someone else eat. She took a deep breath before heading out of the restaurant to buy something for herself. Aidan stared at her as she walked off.

There was no expression on his face as he asked, “What goes on in that head of hers?” Jonathan, who was standing beside him, didn’t know what to say. Her intentions were obvious. She was keeping a distance between them. No matter what Aidan did to create opportunities between them, chances were they weren’t going to amount to much. Leanna’s thoughts were rather simple. Since she couldn’t avoid seeing that b*stard, she decided to just deal with the situation head-on. Aidan stood up and followed her out the door. She had just sat down at a table in front of the convenience store to dig into her to-go meal when the box was snatched out of her hands. Her cutlery disappeared as well. She was perplexed and a little disgruntled. “Weren’t you having dinner, President Pearson?” “The food was lousy.” “How can the food at such an expensive restaurant be lousy?” “Why didn’t you eat it then?” he retorted coolly. She wanted to roll her eyes, but she held back the urge and stayed silent. He, too, didn’t say anything further. Then, he took the cutlery and began eating the food he had stolen from her. Leanna was so mad that she felt as if she was just one step away from dying of a heart attack. She pursed her lips and went back into the convenience store to get more food. When she came back out, she chose to sit down at a different table

the payment for the meal. You can toss it if you don’t want to drink it.” He strode off to the Rolls-Royce parked beside the road right after saying that. She eyed him before looking down at the cup of warm water on the table. The b*stard had a point. He did owe me for the meal. I needn’t make a fuss since the money is from my pocket. With that in mind, she took the cup and started drinking. … They arrived at Patheon Club. Leanna never dreamed that she would be here with Aidan again. It was odd. In the past, whenever she

Again, she wanted to roll her eyes. “Leanna, have you ever heard of the fable about the farmer and the snake?” Enough is enough. Leanna gritted her teeth. “President Pearson, can you just… shut up?!” He glanced at her and commented off-handedly, “I’m talking about Jonathan. Why are you getting so worked up?” Both Leanna and Jonathan were dumbstruck. However, being an assistant with a downright remarkable
