Chapter 51

Later, Leanna returned to the private room. When she arrived at the door, she heard a gentle voice coming from behind just as she was about to enter. "Leanna."

Upon hearing the voice, she paused mid-action. Then, she turned around after a few seconds.

The moment Leanna turned around, she saw the owner of that gentle voice. It was Zayn. At the same time, Zayn didn't expect that person he thought was Leanna turned out to be Leanna indeed. Thus, he excitedly walked up and said, "Leanna, what brings you here?"

As for Leanna, she greeted him calmly like he was an old friend. "I… I have a dinner gathering with my friend here. How about you?"

In an instant, a sudden realization hit her as she looked at Zayn. I should've thought of this! I should've expected that Zayn would be here after I saw Anna show up here and barked madly at me.

"I'm here with my friends too. Are you and your friend almost done with your dinner? If it's ending soon, why don't we—"

Before Zayn could finish speaking, someone opened the door to the private room behind him.

Instantly, both of them looked to the door and saw it was Anthony. Likewise, Anthony also saw them. After Anthony saw Zayn, he was stunned for a long time before he could react. "Zayn?"

Retracting his gaze, Zayn nodded politely at him.

Since Anthony and Zoe had been together since they were in college, he also had met Zayn several times. However, they were not that close.

"Hey! We haven't seen each other for so many years." With that, Anthony threw his arm around Zayn's shoulder. "Could it be that we're fated to meet today? Come on, please come in and chat together with us for a while."

Just as Leanna was about to decline Anthony's offer on behalf of Zayn, she saw him smile at her instead. Shortly after, he entered the private room with Anthony.

Once Zayn entered the private room, Anthony immediately introduced him to his friends in the room. "Everyone, come and meet my buddy from college. Not only is he my buddy, but he was also our college hunk during our batch."

As soon as the group of people heard that, they quickly gathered around and gave Zayn a toast.

Suddenly, someone looked at Zayn and asked with uncertainty, "Are you Mr. Barnett from the Barnett Group?"

Upon hearing that, Zayn nodded slightly. "Hello."

As soon as he said that, the astonishment that centered on Anthony began to spread out.

Anthony was also surprised when he found out Zayn's identity. Having known Zayn for years, he only knew that he came from a well-off family. However, he didn't expect that
