Love's Change of Heart

Chapter 189

Leanna looked at Aidan with utmost sincerity. "After accompanying you to the dinner, could you—"

"No."

Her brows creased tightly. "But I haven't even finished my question."

Aidan coldly glanced at her. "Leanna, we are not negotiating."

"Does this mean I don't have a choice?"

He responded nonchalantly, "Did I have a choice when you had me retrieve your brother's report card, then?"

She paused for a moment before inquiring, "Can we call it even after the dinner?"

After that, he lifted his brow. "We'll see. It's not like you only owe me once."

An expressionless Leanna questioned, "Do you mean that you're not going to let me off the hook regardless?"

Noticing the coldness in her tone, he turned to look at her with displeasure. "Leanna McKinney, you're so happy when Elijah came looking for you and yet, this is how you're going to act in front of me? Why is it considered a hassle when it comes to me?"

"President Pearson, honestly speaking, do you think that you can do better than Elijah?" she added before Aidan snapped, "Will you ask for my opinion before threatening me into doing something I'm reluctant to do?"

"No." It was a downright answer without a moment of hesitation since making up excuses was the only way for him to see her as she had been avoiding him.

Meanwhile, she was rendered speechless by how shameless he was behaving.

Aidan rose to his feet. "We're running out of time. We still gotta pick out an outfit. Hurry up."

There was only Leanna in the store today. She sprang to her feet and headed to the office to grab her stuff. Taking the lock from the front desk, she told the man indifferently, "President Pearson, could you please come out? I have to lock the door."

"I'll be waiting for you outside." He was not worried about the possibility of her escaping as there was nowhere else she could run to.

While locking the door, Leanna gnawed her teeth as she tried to rein back the urge to slaughter him. Forget about torturing her at times, why would he request her to accompany him for a dinner? I'll go! I should show my 'appreciation' by causing a ruckus during the dinner.
