Love's Change of Heart

Chapter 117

Meanwhile, in the president's office, Aidan was seated on his chair. He tapped his slender fingers on his phone screen and raised his brows slightly. I guess that woman has a conscience, after all. At least she bothered to ask if I'd had dinner. He gazed at the time and rechecked his phone. He stared at the set of numbers on his screen, and massaged his temples with two fingers for a while before he decided to dial the number. At that very moment, someone knocked on the door.

He quickly threw his phone aside before picking up his documents and a pen. "Come in," he uttered as his expression turned stern. The door was pushed open, and Mia's voice filled the room a few moments later. "President Pearson…" she muttered. He glanced in her direction before lowering his pen and glaring at her with a hostile look on his face. "What are you doing here?" he asked flatly.

Mia explained the reason she was there before she continued. "Everything that happened in the past was my fault, President Pearson. I promise I won't make the same mistake. If you could just give me one chance, I swear… I'll make good use of it."

"Why should I give you another chance?" he asked.

"I…" She bit her lip.

"I told you—I don't like manipulative and sly people. Do you really think I don't know how you previously went to Leanna and convinced her to get a divorce with me?" he uttered in a harsh and forbidding voice. Mia thought that they had resolved this matter in the past—she hadn't expected him to bring it up again. His words came to her as a shock, and she stuttered for a long time before forming a proper sentence. "I was doing it for your own good, President Pearson… I heard that you hated her, so I—"

"Forget it." Aidan interrupted her. "Whether or not I hate her is none of your business."

Mia wasn't willing to drop the topic just yet. "But President Pearson, it's true that Leanna faked her pregnancy to get married to you. I know you don't like when others threaten you and make decisions for you. So, I just wanted to help you resolve this issue. If Leanna weren't guilty and hadn't used such unethical means of getting married to you, she wouldn't have agreed to the divorce right after I uttered a few sentences," Mia pointed out.

Aidan's expression turned colder
