Chapter 54

The lady froze. "But I don't know where the pantry is."

Aidan stopped in his tracks and looked at the guest. She was a woman he had never seen before. He frowned. "Who are you?"

Queenie was a little anxious. Her hands were clenched tightly, and her cheeks were pink. "I'm Queenie, a designer working for Lux Jewelry. I want to thank you for—"

Aidan was getting a little upset at that point. "You're here alone?"

"Yes." Queenie bit her lip. She had no idea how to break the ice, but then she remembered his order, and it sounded like a great way to get closer to him. She asked, "You wanted a cup of coffee, right? I can make one right—"

"No." He sat down and crossed his legs before he asked coldly, "What do you want?"

She closed the door and approached him. The mere sight of him was already making her blush. "I'm Queenie Wojzicki. Do you remember me, sir?"

"No," he answered coldly. Aidan's patience had run out.

She bit her lip and explained, "I was the champion of The Emerging Designer Competition three years ago. Your company sponsored my studies in Aeras. I just came home a while ago. Now, I'm working as Lux Jewelry's top designer. I'm here to thank you, sir. If it weren't for you—"

Aidan interrupted her icily, "Shouldn't the champion be Leanna?"

Queenie was surprised that he knew who Leanna was, but she hid her shock immediately. "Yes. I was the runner-up, but you disqualified her. You said she was just an opportunist who only saw the competition as a way to make money. I took her place."

Aidan didn't say anything for a while. He then asked, "Are you done thanking me?"
