I'm Sorry My Love Novel

Chapter 635

Chapter 635 I Had to Come by Myself

Leanna initially felt clueless about the situation and wondered what Freya's motive was. Her scalp tingled at the mere mention of "Jamesdon." She had many unresolved issues in Jamesdon, including the culprit, who was yet to be found. Coincidentally, a woman called Freya appeared looking for her. She was Queenie's former client and seemed to be linked to Jamesdon.

Moreover, Leanna was starting to grow confused about the mastermind behind everything that happened. Jamesdon and Highside were always inextricably linked, and due to Sienna's death, Leanna had no idea where to start investigating. When Sienna took her life back then, Aidan covered Leanna's eyes to prevent her from seeing it. However, she could imagine how Sienna might have looked at the end of her life. Sienna's expression must have been distorted with a hint of pleasure. Since her death, everything seemed to have moved in the direction she expected.

The grudge between Justin and Aidan was like an invisible, intangible, and unremovable existence. Perhaps over time, it would gradually become mutual suspicion and eventually accumulate into hard feelings.

The little guy's illness, the endless conspiracies within Jamesdon, the Woodley Family's internal conflict, and everything else seemed unrelated, but in reality, they were interconnected. It felt like… An act of premeditated revenge.

Sitting in the car, Leanna stared into space. It took her a while to collect her thoughts and dial a string of numbers on her phone.

Soon, the call was picked up. "Who's this?"

"Hello, Freya. I'm from Starry Night studio."

Then, Freya chuckled on the other end of the phone, "McK, right? What's up?"

"I'm sorry, Freya, but I can't take your order any more."

"Why not?"

"Due to personal reasons, we will transfer the deposit to you before 6.00PM today." After saying that, Leanna hung up the call before Freya could speak.

…

By the time Leanna returned to the studio, it was already noon.

Charlotte had changed into her work uniform that day. She looked decent as she worked carefully at the cashier. Compared to how stiff and out of place she looked the day before, she seemed much better that day. Leanna smiled as she stared at her.

At that moment, Zoe came out from the room next door. "Nana, didn't you drop by Crossley Group?"

"I did, but there were no major issues, so I returned," Leanna answered.

"Are you going to stay here after this?"

"Yeah. We don't have much time left for fashion week. It's time to get our preparations done." Leanna nodded.

"Who would take charge of Crossley Group, then?"

"Xavier." Seeing the dubious look on Zoe's face, Leanna explained, "He's the person in charge of The Emerging Designer Competition I participated in previously. He's also the manager of a subsidiary under Pearson Group."

"I see!" Zoe exclaimed in realization.

Leanna then nodded. "I'm heading in, Zoe."

"Sure. I'll call you when it's time for lunch."

After taking a few steps, Leanna suddenly recalled something and turned around. "By the way, find the order we took yesterday and return the deposit to the client."

Zoe assumed Leanna felt that accepting the order would delay their preparations for fashion week, so she agreed to process the refund. "Sure. I'll get it done right now."

After returning to the office, Leanna flipped her sketchbook. Then, she pulled out the drafts she drew in Jamesdon before copying them individually. It took her almost the whole afternoon to do that. After some time, there was a knock on her door. Afterward, she raised her head and stretched her neck a little.

The next moment, the door was opened, and Charlotte informed her, "Leanna, the client from yesterday, said she wants to see you."

Leanna went silent for a few seconds before uttering, "Usher her to the lounge. I'll come over shortly."

"Sure."

After the door was shut, Leanna got up and kept all her drafts in the drawer before leaving the room.

In the meantime, Freya was served a cup of coffee in the lounge. Her slim legs were crossed as she looked around. It didn't take long for Leanna to appear before her.

"You didn't explain the reason for your rejection over the phone, so I decided to visit personally," said Freya.

Taking a seat opposite her, Leanna apologized, "I'm sorry. Allow me to repeat myself. Due to personal reasons, I won't be able to take your order."
