I'm Sorry My Love Novel

Chapter 512

Looking at the information before her, Leanna tensed her delicate brows. "Are there any other appropriate material suppliers?"

"Not at the moment. I wasn't in charge of this previously, but Mr. Ollander has fallen sick and was hospitalized recently, so…"

Leanna replied, "Let me think about it."

"Understood." Raymond nodded and left.

Nonetheless, before Leanna could come up with a solution, Raymond came to her again in the afternoon. "Miss McKinney, the problem earlier has been dealt with."

"Already? How?" Leanna was stunned.

"Miss McKinney, do you still remember Complex Group?"

She was baffled. "Complex Group?"

"Yes, it is a foreign company that had worked with Pearson Group in the past. They were also the party who auctioned off Crossley Group's land on Youth Street."

Upon realization, Leanna pursed her lips.

Raymond then added, "One of Complex Group's people gave us a call one hour ago and claimed that they can supply us with a new batch of materials. Richard went over to verify them and said that there was no issue with them."

Richard Lewis was Maya's husband.

Upon Leanna's wordlessness, Raymond assumed that she was concerned about the materials. "Miss McKinney, would you like to see to it yourself?"

Leanna then shook her head. "No need. Have they named a price?"

In response, Raymond answered, "I was about to tell you about it. They have expressed that they are not going to charge for the materials as our joint project with them is ongoing, so they decided to do us the favor and asked for a higher share in return."

"The joint project still ongoing?" Leanna asked.

"It was halted back when Crossley Group was in a pinch, but it was resumed recently. However, hear me out. The project will not proceed according to the previous auctioned terms. Though, I'm not quite certain about the details either…"

Given Crossley Group's current situation, it could hardly sustain itself, so it had no means to interfere with the approach. After all, the ones with wealth were the ones with power. Regardless, fortunately, a contract was signed beforehand, so Complex Group could do whatever with the project as long as Crossley Group was getting paid. Furthermore, Complex Group supplied the materials at quite a timely moment.

"Never mind. We'll leave it be," Leanna replied.

Thereupon, Raymond left her as she held her pen in deep contemplation.



After a while, she gave Daniel a call. "Let's meet."

Half an hour later, in the cafe below Crossley Group, Leanna cut straight to the chase without beating around the bush. "I'm sorry for what I have done."

Dazed for a moment, Daniel eventually realized what matter she was referring to. He then chuckled before answering, "Don't worry about it. Besides, you've been doing well since you joined Crossley Group. I just hope that you don't blame me for having attempted to stop you."

Holding a teaspoon, Leanna stirred the cup of coffee in front of her. "Please relay my apology to William as well."

Hearing that, Daniel let out another chuckle and replied, "To be honest, I'm not really that close with William. The only reason we showed up in your office is that we bumped into each other at the entrance."

"So, you're not close with him."

Daniel took a gulp. "Not exactly 'not close with him.' We're just not really that close."

Chuckling, Leanna lifted her cup of coffee and took a sip. "You, Elijah, and William are very close to Mr. Jackson, so I assumed that you knew one other."

"That's quite a stretch. Elijah only knew Mr. Jackson because his parents were once Mr. Jackson's students; William got to know Mr. Jackson overseas. As for me…"

At once, Leanna put down her cup and paid full attention. "What about you?"

Daniel remained silent as he had yet to come up with a story. Essentially, he couldn't just disclose that he knew Mr. Jackson from a concert. He could have tricked Georgina with some random excuse, but not Leanna.

Luckily for him, Leanna did not pursue the matter. Instead, she asked, "Have you met with Zoe lately?"

Daniel furrowed his brows. "Isn't she getting married soon? It doesn't feel right for me to see her."

Leanna grew silent, thinking that she shouldn't have encouraged him so much back then.

After pondering for a while, she then said, "Frankly, dating is simply dating here. It doesn't mean you have to commit to it until marriage, as you should only consider it once you find the perfect match."

"She seems happy with that guy." Daniel gave the matter a thorough thought. Since he couldn't promise Zoe a marriage, and now that Zoe found a man to get married to, it was only right that he refrained from interfering in her life.

"So, are you still merely infatuated with her, or are you actually in love?" Leanna asked.

With a frown, Daniel answered, "I can't tell." After all, he never really gave much thought to his prior relationships, and every one of them ended as soon as they began.

Feeling perturbed, Leanna didn't know how to respond to that.

Daniel then assured, "Don't you worry. I'll leave Highside before she gets married. I won't cause her any trouble."
