Love's Change of Heart

Chapter 11

"Exactly. Girls are more or less the same; they tend to keep it to themselves when they're angry sometimes, trying to attract the man's attention through other matters. Perhaps, Madam is waiting for you to comfort her by bringing up a divorce?"

Aidan sniggered upon hearing Jonathan's guess. "In her dreams."

She should know her place and get rid of such a ridiculous idea.

Jonathan continued, "President Pearson, I don't think that Madam is a money-minded person. When her father was making a fuss at the company, she said that your money has nothing to do with her. She even got slapped in the face."

Aidan's brows furrowed unconsciously. "She's hurt?"

"Yeah. It's quite serious. There's even a mark on her face."

After a few seconds of contemplation, Aidan said, "Check how much his debt is. Give him the money and warn him to stay out of my sight from now on."

"Let's head back to the company." It was only 3.10PM when he said that.

Aidan stared at the blue striped shirt, which was hung at the most conspicuous spot in the bedroom. Vexed, he decided to throw both Leanna and the shirt out of the house if she continued her act after he returned from Gerland.

…

Time flew by in a blink of an eye. It was the day where the press conference of Lux Jewelry would be held. Leanna was currently adjusting the length of the necklace around the model's collar backstage.

Harvey came up to her at that moment. "McK, many renowned designers and big names are invited today. I'm sure that your work will take the center stage and many of them will know about you."

She smiled. "The honor belongs to Lux Jewelry. I'm just a nobody."

It was her genuine opinion, for no one would spare their time just to see the work of a small fry if it was not for Lux Jewelry's influence.

Zoe happened to walk by and overheard the conversation. "Leanna, be more confident with yourself! It is our honor, isn't it, Mr. Mancini?"

He nodded with a smile. "You're right. It can't be done without everyone's contribution, anyway."

Once he left the scene, Zoe pulled Leanna's hand and said in undertone, "Leanna, I've something to tell you, but you mustn't freak out."

"What is it?"

"I saw Zayn."
