Chapter 35

In a cold voice, Aidan spoke over the intercom, "Contact Lux Jewelry to know how much Leanna McKinney's termination fee is."

"Understood."

He received a report from Jonathan in no time. "Madam has previously signed the contract with their boss in person, so he's the only one that knows the details."

The contradicting sight of his boss' impatience reminded him about the person who scolded him for mentioning Lux Jewelry and the so-called collaboration that had ended years ago just ten minutes earlier.

Besides, she did not expect to see Zayn at the hospital. They were left alone after the sensible Zoe pulled Louis away.

Silence filled the atmosphere until Leanna wore a smile. "Thank you for everything that you've done."
