Love's Change of Heart

Chapter 99

Chapter 99

On the other end of the phone, Zoe fell silent. After a full ten seconds of silence, she said respectfully, "Nice to meet you, President Pearson. I'm Leanna's new friend, Gigi Carter."

Aidan's tone was indifferent as he said, "Is that so?"

"Haha, yes, it was nice meeting you. I won't bother you two anymore."

Saying that, she hung up the phone as quickly as she could. After the dial tone sounded a few times, the whole room fell into a dead silence.

Leanna had never wanted to disappear from this world so much. The man's eyes were dark and intense, as cold as ice. She slowly retracted her gaze and moved down little by little, as if she wanted to escape from the gap between him and the chair. However, as soon as she thought of this, Aidan folded his arms, causing her to nearly fall into his arms.

She stopped and quickly sat back in her chair, looking out the window. "Haha, President Pearson, look outside…"

"Why don't you explain?"

Panicking, Leanna rolled her eyes from left to right. How could she explain herself? It wasn't like she could tell him that that was what they always called him in private. He could've just taken the hint, but no. He just had to force me to say it out loud.

She pondered for a moment before saying seriously, "President Pearson, you didn't knock."

"I did."

She was dumbstruck. Great. Now I can't shift the blame on him.

Just as Leanna was racking her brains for a way to answer, Aidan suddenly retracted his hand and got up, saying in a low voice, "The milk is going to get cold. Drink it first."

She hurriedly went to grab the cup of milk, as if grabbing a lifeline.

However, before she could let out a breath of relief, Aidan sat down on the couch and said, "Come up with an explanation after you've finished drinking."

His words immediately caused her to choke on the milk.

She drank the milk as slowly as she could before licking her lips and saying in a serious and earnest tone, "I'm sorry, President Pearson. I was wrong."

Without even raising his head, Aidan asked, "Wrong about what?"

"I shouldn't have bad-mouthed you in private, much less let you overhear us."

"Are you saying that you can badmouth me as long as I don't hear it?"

Leanna waved her hand. "No, no, of course that wasn't what I meant." Why is this b*stard being so aggressive? Although she was to blame for this, he had said his fair share of slander toward her as well.
