Chapter 187

In actual fact, Leanna was not surprised about the current outcome. Still, it was for the best as the person had finally been located, which meant that Louis no longer had to live with the guilt.

After quite some time, a dejected Louis voiced out, "I will try using other methods."

Leanna turned around to look at him. "Louis, do you really have no interest in dating?"

"No."

Suddenly, she thought of something and probed, "Are you perhaps… interested in men? You know, I'll always love and support you regardless… What matters is your happiness."

At that point, his expression turned thunderous. "That's not the case at all." He continued, "Stop fretting about me. I know what I'm doing whereas you, on the other hand, should pay more attention to yourself."

She smiled. "I'm doing quite well right now."

"I heard from Zoe that someone is pursuing you."

Speechless for a moment, Leanna replied, "Don't listen to her. We're just friends. There's nothing going on."

However, Louis had a doubtful look on his face.

In spite of that, she quickly sent him on his way. "That's enough. I don't need you here anymore, so you should head back to school."

Before he left, he hesitated for a moment before asking, "That person from before… Will she visit you again?"

At that moment, Leanna was momentarily stunned by his question. "Who are you talking about?"

"That actress friend of yours."

Finally, it dawned upon her and she replied, "Do you mean Daphne? She's rather busy, so she might only pop over when she's free. What's up?"

He replied calmly, "Nothing much. One of my classmates wanted her autograph and asked me for a favor."

"I'll let her know the next time she comes over, then. How many do you want?"

"Any amount will do."

After he completed his 'mission', he left in a rush without a second glance at her.

Meanwhile, Leanna smiled as she looked at his retreating figure. She was just about to retract her gaze to continue work when she noticed an uninvited person at the entrance.

Georgina stood there and finally entered the studio after watching Louis leave.

She met Leanna's gaze and revealed a slight smile. "Is that your friend, Miss McKinney?"

"He's my brother."
