Chapter 62

When Leanna arrived at the company, she saw Queenie coming out of Harvey's office wearing a glum face with an indignant look in her eyes.

After a few steps, Queenie caught sight of her as well, and she went to her with her heels clicking on the floor. "I heard that the initial person Pearson Group wanted to focus on training was you."

"Maybe," Leanna answered curtly.

"Why did you turn it down?"

"I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep peacefully at night if I accept something which I didn't get through my own effort."

Leanna really didn't know what Aidan wanted to do by setting up this position. First, it was said that he wanted to support Mia, then the official explanation was that the Pearson Group was interested in her talents.

How could she believe such a high-sounding excuse when she wasn't an inexperienced young lady?

However, Queenie interpreted her answer as mockery; the fact that she had the chance to go to Aeras three years ago wasn't because of her own effort but because she had snatched it from her.

"Leanna McKinney, don't overestimate yourself. Do you think you're very noble and different from the rest by rejecting Pearson Group's offer? Any designer would never let the opportunity for their works to be displayed on the international walkway slip past them," Queenie said, sneering as she glanced at her. "Oh, pardon me. I almost forgot that you gave up such an opportunity three years ago. A person like you isn't even fit to be a designer."

When she finished speaking, Leanna replied composedly, "If you think you don't deserve it, you can reject it, too." Why are you speaking so much? So annoying. Tsk!

After speaking, she left the spot right away. On the other end, Queenie—not expecting such an answer—stood rooted to the spot in a daze for a few seconds before coming back to her senses. Chewing on her bottom lip, she looked incredibly indignant.

In the meantime, after Leanna made her work arrangement with Harvey, she asked for leave on Zoe's behalf.
